Friday after I got the good news I treated myself to Olive Garden. Today I made it to see the movie Tammy, which was okay nothing special. I was surprised at the cost to get in these days it used to be $7.50 and now it’s $10.50, easier to rent from home on Amazon and what I am willing to pay is not more than $7. I rented Oh Vey My Son Is Gay from Pay Per View. It was okay as well, nothing special and not worth the $5 I spent on it. Tonight I went to see some old friends that run a restaurant. They got out of business and after 2 years had the itch and are back in again. I enjoyed a nice pizza and got some free bread pudding. I ate 1/2 of the pizza and the other half is in the fridge. I took the Bread Pudding to go. It’s White Chocolate w/ Raspberry’s.
I didn’t sleep much at all last night, too keyed up from the good news and like a million things running through my head. I already did research on the guy who has my position now, holy cow he is a twink if there every was one and he is wicked cute! Not exactly sure how much I will learn in 2 weeks from staring at him. I can only hope his personality is as good as his looks, if so we should hit it off fine.
After spreading the good news to friends, I sat down and read the job description. I know I was snapped up because I was a bargain but I really feel like I am being taken advantage of here. Who can’t use extra money? I don’t want to spoil things but I’d like to ask for $5k more, just to make me feel like I am well taken care of. If I move forward with that and get it, then I am much more certain about keeping the house. I may let things play out and see how it goes. I am also interested to see what the other firm comes back with. I don’t want to jump ship mid stream but my friend told me tonight take the job that you will enjoy the most. Nah, I’d rather have the money!
I did manage to get the carpet cleaned and while I was out at the movies and eating, someone puked. Yeah it always happens that way. Those little balls of fur are quite a handful to take care of. If there weren’t so many of them my life would be easier not to mention the cash I would have saved over the years. I am worried about them adjusting to the new routine. Cats are really resistant to change and if you screw up their routine they can rebel. However, its only been 2 months I am hopeful they will snap back without any problems.
I am working on laundry, one of my normal weekend chores. Tomorrow will be the Grocery Store and Sam’s. I may also venture to an Office Supply store. I could use some ink for ye old printer. The Black XL is starting to dwindle, with all of the letters to my old employer, printing of resumes and cover letters, and having to print out job applications I really feel like the XL cartridge suits me quite well. I robbed the paper from my late partners color laser printer. I plan on using it but need a table to put it on and then have to shop for ink. It takes wax ink. The ink comes in cubes and it is uber expensive. So the whole idea is use it wisely. I could leave it upstairs and turn his old PC into another PC for me but honestly I am in no hurry. I wanted to get in and start cleaning his office up but interviews kind of took up my week and I am not complaining. I can do more with a job than I can a clean room. I do feel like some of his things shouldn’t be touched, sort of like a shrine. However, that is a stage of grief. I mean I know he is gone and have accepted it even though I don’t like it.
He has a CPAP Machine and a Power Chair/Scooter that I would love to get rid of. The only problem is I don’t know where to turn. I want to sell those items. If I wanted to give them away I am sure I could find a taker much quicker. There is a medical supply house by my new job. I may venture over there and talk with those folks or give them a call, I suspect they will be able to point me in the right direction.
There is a lot more stuff to get rid of. A local couple advertised a car for sale by owner. When they went for a test drive both of them got shot. I want to avoid any more drama or trauma. I am only looking for good or positive things to happen. I’ve been through far too much negative. This job hopefully is a sign that things are going to start looking up.
Time to deal with laundry, empty cat boxes and work my way to bed. I will be taking some extra medicine tonight so hopefully I sleep like a baby. Enjoy what is left of the weekend. I will talk with you peeps later.
