Things are changing at work. I'm getting a feux-motion (close relative to "pro-motion"), which is very exciting, except that it doesn't actually go into effect for another few weeks. Not few enough. Big point is, however, I no longer have to work with the general public. This could be the last time ever that I have a "retail" job, and I can't wait! So look out world, I'm crazy!
Also, the canoe is wonderful. I've been out on the water three times this week, and I already have plans to go canoe camping after the promotion happens and I finally get my weekends back. Ah yes, the weekend. The last time I slept in on a weekend was...5 months ago. In fact, that's the last time I slept in at all. I think somewhere in there I was sick once, but that's about it. I can't wait to spend the morning in bed talking about where to eat lunch (the answer: on the canoe).

how to work
Not that anyone asked, but here's my two cents.
#1:
Don't expect anything. Expect everything. As much as you don't want it to, it is likely to happen, whatever "it" is. Whether you're sure that your boss won't pull out her psycho card in the middle of a work day or not, just remember that these people are not your friends. They are not your family. You do not know them. They still live with their parents post-grad school, they still don't know the difference between "our" and "are", and they still haven't figured out that pointing out their bad boob job is no way to get a date.
#2:
Keep your head up, but still low enough that no one will notice. Don't let them make you quit. Make them quit. Do everything with a smile, and then share your torture tactics with you coworkers over a Lean Cuisine.
#3:
You will probably never be paid what you're worth, but the insurance makes it okay. Right.
Work's not going well, if anyone is wondering. I'm holding out for a promotion or a transfer, but this one is wearing me thin. Please, learn how to spell, learn how to manage, and learn how to be a human being. Don't be such a boob.

Work
Working on the weekends has become more than tedious. Every Friday night, while the rest of this city settles in for a restful weekend, I dread the next morning. It's not that I don't like my job, because I do, I just wish it didn't have to be EVERY SINGLE weekend!! Ah well, I signed up for it, it's my own fault. All I can do at this point is keep my fingers crossed for a promotion. And believe me, they're all crossed.
Amy and I went to Half Price Books and bought a "Home Buying for Dummies" book this morning. We're hoping to purchase our first house in the next year or so, and I have to admit, I'm incredibly excited. Life has been boring lately, and it should be fun to have a new goal. Although perhaps finishing school and scoring an amazing job should be enough to satisfy, but they're not. I have about 30 hours left to finish in my degree, and that's yet another thing I can't wait for. I strongly dislike school, and I'm ready for all my hard work to actually go towards an end product, rather than a grade book.
It's been a while since I updated, but suprisingly this is all I have to write. Maybe tomorrow I'll post pictures of my shoot with Val tonight.
