Not that I've been posting enough lately for anyone to really notice my absence, but I moved a week and a half ago with my roommate, Eira, and money's been tight so we haven't gotten internet at the new place yet. I'm still trying to find another job, been keeping an eye (kinda) on craigslist and replying to job postings there. I may have a lead... basically taking half of my boyfriend's hours, since he's working 90+ a week, and has been for the past 7 weeks or so. That was supposed to be really temporary, a week or two until they found someone else to cover the weekend shift- a 48-hour stretch from 11pm friday night to 11pm sunday night. Long story short they still haven't found anyone, and I desperately need a full time job, and my bf desperately needs a couple days off, and on a regular basis. I had tried to get a job with nick initially back in march or april, and was not quite able to lift him at that time. I could, I mean, but the situation was weird, I thought I was supposed to be transferring him to his chair when apparently I was just supposed to be lifting him up to see if I could, and andrew was supposed to stay in the room but he disappeared and I dunno. I haven't exactly been working out all this time since then, but between working with Vanessa and what little working out I have done, I may already be in a better physical shape to lift him, and I know with a little practice and effort I really could do it. And working with Nick, I actually would get paid, since he's a lot more on top of his medical and disability stuff and has other funding sources, as well. Plus I know my bf's getting hella exhausted and the pressure is on to find someone for the weekend shift. It'd be SO nice to get a full 48 hours a week, and still have 5 days in a row to work on other stuff. I haven't talked to nick at all about it yet, so I don't know if he'll go for it, but I'm pretty hopeful about it and really it'd be good for everyone involved I think.
Anyway, that's what's going on with me lately, in a nutshell.
I've also been reading the DUNE books again, just finished book 4 (God Emperor) and started rereading it a couple days ago. Don't have book 5 yet, but then again, I'm sitting in a library currently. Spend $4 for my own paperback or borrow a hardcover for free? I do want my own copy eventually, and I prefer paperbacks anyway because they're small and convenient to carry, but I'm poor right now. That $4 could get me a bart ticket or like, a box of cereal or some eggs. >__>
I finally ordered some stuff with the amazon gift card my mom sent me for my birthday. I'm getting a 12" iron Skillet (eggs taste awful on nonstick pans, I have discovered over the past week), a 16" wok, and an 8 cup rice steamer. With some left on the card for a book or something else a little down the line. Exciting. =3
Anyway, I should get back to the craigslist ads... I'm supposed to be responding to at least four a day and I've only gotten one so far today. =P *whipcrack*
