Yeah, work

A 10-hour day today. Another one tomorrow. And I get to work Friday, which will help make up for the fact I won’t get holiday pay until I’ve been there three months. But in other news, my schedule should be changing in the next few weeks — M-F or Tues-Sat, which is what I’d actually prefer. I’m used to having Sunday-Monday off, but wouldn’t complain about M-F in the least. We’re going to be adding another desk person shortly, which means they’ll get the shitty schedule (heheh). I’m going to have some pretty good design opportunities coming up with the new section fronts, so that’s cool.

It’s good to be focused again. I’m spending a lot more time working, but it’s nice to make a difference on some level. Probably better to work hard and get into a groove career-wise since there ain’t shit going on in the personal life. S has done his disappearing act again, and I really don’t know how far I want to go with that. I’ve got other folks to hang out with, but that’s all that will amount to, I’m sure. Can’t complain too much; it gets me out of the house. Conversation is decent and we have some common interests. Keeping the options open, that’s about all I can do right now. Nothing wrong with making friends. Thursday is covered with friends I haven’t seen since before the divorce; Friday is up in the air for now and Saturday should end up with several of us at one of the sports bars in town (downtown will be a zoo after the football game).

Definitely need to save money next paycheck. Heh... then again, what’s the whole point behind working if you can’t have a little fun now and again? I do need to look into cutting expenses. Now that I have a decent amount of clothes, I should be OK for work. Maybe a new pair of boots for the winter, but I have plenty of time. The car needs work, which sucks, but the alignment is way fucked. Can’t wait. And I’ll need new tires at some point. Alignment first, I guess. Dammit.

Off to bed. Need to get up at a decent hour so I can meet up with friends for lunch and then head into the office to finish the current project and start one I wanted to start Monday.
