Oct. 1st, 2011 06:10 pmI appear to have joined the post-a-month club. I haven't posted in so long that the change to the entry-writing box are brand new to me. (Assuming they are not, in fact, brand new.)
Any rate, not much is new.
Still working two jobs (really one job and one internship). Am actually giving up a day at Mood to spend two days at the internship, and I am super excited to do so. Mood... is not a good place to work for. They're in the middle of trying to change how they operate and they're not very quick on the uptake when the new things aren't working all that great. The hours are long, the customers are, well, customers, they're trying to completely control all our owed break time, and the bosses are VERY good at noticing when every little thing isn't perfect. It doesn't pay nearly enough; my weekly check basically goes straight into food for the next week and transportation. I'm looking for new work but given the internship I have to find some kind of part time or stay where I am. It's not looking too good either way.
I am trying to get some sewing done but I hardly have time for that any more. Still, a couple pairs of shorts are in the works (one for every day use and one for a costume), and I've been fiddling with bow ties. They're at once hard and not-so-hard to make.
Postseason baseball has started, and that's always exciting. It would be awesome if we could get a game that wasn't rained on, or rained out, though.
The truly new news: I may be moving into an apartment of my own within the next few months. This is exciting. It's literally one block over from where I live now - 26th and 2nd. It's a railroad-style that they're renovating into a two-bedroom and it's surprisingly big. The room I'm claiming for mine has a non-working fireplace with exposed brick and a marble mantel. Now I just need a roommate to take care of half the rent.
