Summer Job

Yesterday was a low point for me. I was depressed about a bunch of stuff--most of it was related to money (or my lack of it). My old employer was giving me the run-around, I got my first "You-owe-us-money/We're-reporting-you-to-the-credit-people" letters, I was bored out of my mind.

Today I got up, took a shower and went downtown. I camped outside the HR guy's office FOR 40 MINUTES...and long story short, I got my job back (like they wouldn't take me back). He fed me some line about having tried to call me back (liar). It took him 2 seconds to start the "bringing me back to life" process. Today I peed in a cup (at the most dubious looking building I have ever been to...I've done this three times now...and every time I'm amazed at how scummy this building looks). Tomorrow I'm getting my Police Commissioner's license renewed (yay). I have no idea where they will send me (I've been to nearly EVERY post in the Downtown accounts)...but I'm sure I will love* it.




*by "love" I mean "hate" (but it's only two months).



In other news, I'm going back to St. Louis this weekend with Leah's friend Becky! I'm going to get to visit Leah one last time before I put my nose to the proverbial grindstone.

So, in general, I'm a much happier person today! There was one (slightly major) bad thing that happened to me today. My Guitar Hero II save files became corrupt and I had to delete them (not your Leah, calm down...just mine). So my uber awesome Career Score is gone!! I started over and am about 1/2 through the game (starting on HARD this time). It bums me out because last night I bought the last guitar! Anyway, the job/money thing makes up for my loss (just barely).
