Stuff and IT WAS A GOOD NIGHT AFTER ALL.

So, after griping before work, things went well.

I worked most of the night with Kristy, who is coolbeans. We had a potluck with lots and lots of food, so I didn't feel bad for eating when I brought nothing. Kathy (who mostly works in seasonal) made DELICIOUS pumpkin pies and I asked if I could steal a slice or two to take home. She said yes and I squee'd. So, despite not really doing to whole Thanksgiving thing this year, we have to one tasty thing I love. So it's all good.

I also GOT PAID. This was really the highlight of the evening (aside from Kristy calling 'My Lumps' by Fergie the 'dickgirl song'). $190 after taxes, and for about a week's worth of work. Not too bad. Plus, I got overtime tonight, because it's a holiday. So that's...about $12? I think. I may be doing my math wrong.

I'm yelling at myself not to blow all my money. I'm lucky nothing's likely open tomorrow...er, today. So that's good. There's some stuff I need to buy (toiletries, rattie stuff) and some things I'd like to buy (a cheap desk/chair, art stuff, a scanner, etc.).

I really need to manage my money. Once I get direct deposit going (which will be for the next paycheck), I'm going to start transferring bits into my savings account for the move back to Ohio. But I still want to be able to enjoy myself while I'm out here. I also need to ask Bob what he wants me to contribute to, apartment-wise. I know electric and water, but I don't know about rent? I'll have to ask when he returns home from Portland.

I'd really, REALLY like to do FC. I doubt it will happen, I don't have the money for a hotel room. And I'm very picky about roommates now. But...still. We're finally on the west coast, it'd be sad if we couldn't make it. But a month and a half is a really short time to try and scrounge the money up when it should be going towards Ohio.

We'll have to see, I suppose.

Stuff and IT STILL COUNTS! IT'S POULTRY!!

So, we ran up to the Super Walmart in Poulsbo, since it was open, to cash my check. Convienent.

We blew $30 and picked up mostly food. And we ended up doing Thanksgiving anyhow. A rotisserie chicken, some stuffing, biscuits and from-scratch mashed potatoes. Yum! So, a small Thanksgiving. But one none-the-less. And I got to cook, which I do enjoy.

I also picked up shampoo and conditioner and some new deoderant. Woo!

Now, to fat.

Stuff and WAH, WAH, WAH

It seems like everyone is either happier or in better spirits when I'm not around or I'm asleep. Whenever I'm up and about everything pretty much plummets. I'm no good at alleviating boredom, or making things interesting anyhow. I may as well stay in bed and go to work. At least then I'll have money to buy interesting things to make up for my utter lack of it.
