3 Weeks and Counting

That's right, folks. I'm on week number three at my new job.

AND I STILL LIKE IT!!!!

Can you believe that???? I'm so happy I've found a job that I like, rather than tolerate (because I would have settled for the latter, if need be).

The boss and I get along really well, and the kids seem to be adjusting to me fine for the most part.

And I've made up my mind on which big item I would like to save up for first - my own apartment. Why? Because, dammit, it's time. I'm almost 23 years old and need to be independent from Mommy and Daddy. Being broke makes you that way. But I appreciate all their help, and it's good to know they're always there if I need them.

This is going to be a short post because it's 9:30 and I need to go to bed, for I have to get up at 7 tomorrow.

Good night, folks!

Sitting on the Children.

I started working at the daycare on Tuesday, just a few hours after she hired me. So far, it's been fun.

I get to wear pretty much whatever I want as long as it's not slutty, and I can walk around barefoot in the house. At what other job can you do that, I ask? I work a set schedule for the most part - she has me working no earlier than 8am, and I get off no later than 5:30pm, Monday through Friday. Which is a pretty sweet deal if you ask me.

I'm really liking my new job, and I hope I stay there for awhile. I'm currently on probation for three months (which is pretty standard for any job), and I hope when that is over she'll decide that I'm awesome and keep me for longer.

The kids are pretty cool as well. Some of them have their moments, but overall, they're well behaved. They just need to get used to me being there and being "boss". Some are finding it a bit hard to adjust to that, understandably so.

I'm looking forward to the paychecks and saving up for my own apartment, or a '01-'08 cherry red VW Beetle. I haven't decided which one will be first, though. I'm thinking it'll be a lot easier to save up for the Beetle while I still live with my parental units rather than on my own paying rent. But I desperately want to be completely independent and have my own place for a change. I'm already having dreams about it.

So we'll see which big item I'll save up for first. But before I go saving up for the big item(s), I have a few other things on my list which need to come first. Like fixing my laptop. It's been on the fritz long enough, and I miss it terribly.

Well. I think that's about it for now.
