I could do with a dose of sunshine.

Well, I managed to find work for three days next week at least. I will be working for a Blockbuster company that does what Netflix does. I'll be checking discs for defects and then packaging them up to be sent out to customers. Not really what I was hoping for, but better than sitting home alone all the time. Besides, it's a start. I'll be getting paid $9 an hour and next week my hours are 7AM til whenever I get done. With any luck I'll get more hours next week. Elizabeth (the lady I met with at the temp agency) promised she would keep her eye out for any office jobs that may pop up. I just really hope I don't get stuck job hopping for an extended amount of time. But the rumor is that the economy is starting to heal. I hope so...

Today was another bust. I woke up fairly early because Andrew and I went to bed earlier than four AM. I forced myself back to sleep a couple times just because I have nothing of real construct to do. But I finally woke up, finished the second novel of the SevenWater Trilogy (that took a few hours) and then tried to occupy my mind until Andrew got home. He had to go off to work early this morning again, and then after that he spent the rest of his time working on his animation for finals week. I'm glad he is working on his stuff early so it's less of a strain when finals week is here, but it still royally sucks. Especially when he finally comes home and crashes to sleep, and when he wakes up he works on homework again. But he keeps reminding me that he gets three weeks off soon and promises that we'll have so much fun I'll be sick of it =) . It's enough to give me patience. Hopefully with me having some semblance of a job now, I'll be distracted enough. I would be out and about in the city except it's been raining or frigid this whole week. I wish summer would just happen already so I can at least go outside.

At work I did make a friend though. Poor guy, I think I talked his ear off cuz I'm not used to talking to anyone anymore and I get nervous in awkward silences. It seems so much harder to make friends when you don't go to school anymore. Maybe I'll just post a friend's wanted ad in the local newspaper ;) . But really, it's not as bad as I probably make it seem. It's just harder to deal with when it's crappy outside and I'm stuck in the apartment. Guess I should be happy we don't have a drought =) .
