And Worse goes back to work

Well, I guess you can disregard that last whiny, emo post I wrote. This morning I received a call from the place I'd interviewed for and was offered the job, which I quickly and gratefully accepted. It'll take a few days to get me in the system and get an employee number, so I'll probably start on Tuesday. That's good because I need to do laundry and get a book of all-zone Trimet passes. So... yay!

Now I can stop being depressed and wash my hair.

On a sad note, to cut costs we're dropping our home phone line (we never use it anyway) and our awesome cable package and DVR. No TCM, no Ovation, etc. I see a lot of PBS in my future. I made a point to get through all of the Charles Boyer movies I'd saved, but didn't get to Errol Flynn or Cary Grant. Sigh. Around 2:00 am I just couldn't stay up any longer, so I lovingly stroked the DVR, told it I loved it dearly, and dragged myself to bed. It's now a goal of mine to restore self-indulgent cable service, including getting HBO again. I'll have the means soon, since, ya know, I HAVE A JOB. Ha!

Not only is this good for me, it's good for you, too! Now I'll have actual things to write about. You won't be forced to suffer through what I had for dinner or a detailed account of something cute my dogs did. Okay, okay, I'll still post that stuff, but I very much look forward to griping about idiot customers and relaying my various adventures on my public transit commute. It's a win-win, really.


Woo!

  1. I was just flipping through the channel guide, which was difficult to see through the snowy reception we now get, and it has come to my attention that we no longer get HGtv either. That means no more House Hunters International, and frankly, I feel as if I'm going to cry.

  2. CONGRATS on the job!!!!!! I had a picture up on my facebook that said, "I like having. Job only marginally better than being homeless.". So true... ... ... But yay for you going to get that money, in bout 6 months you should start reapplying to the places you really wanted to work. ;).

  3. Yeah, I feel like I need to finally decide what kind of career I want, because it sure as hell isn't retail. I don't know what that might be, though.
