It's Getting to Be About That Time Again!

Well, after five days straight of dancing, long hours, and lots of bruises, we have completed another fall dance concert. I had fun and that's all that matters! No more dance now until January (although I really should do something in the way of exercise especially with all the eating the holidays involve coming up!).

In other news, we get our apartment keys in two days. I'm so excited - I went on Saturday to buy a bunch of things at Linens N' Things for our new apartment and went and signed my part of the lease since I'm sure I won't get out early on Wednesday but at least Austin will and he can go pick everything up! I can't wait - now if only I could get motivated to pack everything up so I was 100% ready. At least I have until Tuesday of next week to have everything out!

It's getting to be that time of year when I have to really think hard about what to get people for Christmas and what it is that I want. There isn't anything that I seriously want/need other than (yes I'm getting old) some things for the new apartment including some furniture I'd like to get. So maybe I should just go with the whole gift certificate money thing and hope for the best so I can get what I want/need. We'll see I guess!

Also, it's getting to be that time of year again when I start feeling the urge to try to find something new. I was talking to this guy today at work and he is leaving either this week or at the end of December (there was some complication to his final day and now it's up in the air!). Anyways, he was telling me about his new job that he has for the first of the year, and it is so great because it is something he really enjoys (baseball) and he is going to get paid really well besides. I think for me, as long as I could make decent money, I would just like the opportunity to be happy in my job. I'm tired of being made to feel like I am an idiot (when I know I'm not) and I'm tired of walking on eggshells when I'm one of the hardest workers here. And I'm tired of being bored out of my mind for 8+ hours a day, five days a week. That's not a very fun life to live! It's gotten really bad lately because the comaraderie (sp?) we used to have at least between co-workers has all but diminished and it is just generally a miserable situation. So bad that I even thought yesterday when we were eating at BW3, that maybe I should go to the one by our new apartment and inquire about bartending or something to get me out of here until I could find something better. But I haven't gotten that desperate yet - those hours are brutal and the money is always either really really good or really really bad and you have no way of judging when it will be what. And considering I've got a car payment and other bills to pay now, I can't take the chance of not knowing my income each month. So the point of all this is, that there is change in the air and hopefully I will be able to update you shortly with something positive. Wish me luck - I'm going to need lots of it I'm sure!
