le couche-tard || night owl

Sorry, I haven't blogged in awhile. I've been busy... doing absolutely nothing. In all honesty, I haven't done anything exciting. I've just been pre-occupied with my own hobbies, I suppose. My website is back up and running again, as I've been devoting a lot of my freetime to tinkering with that. I've missed it. Summer gives me plenty of freetime, and the website gives me plenty to do with that freetime that would otherwise be spent bored. Not to mention, I've freed up even more time now that I've finished season 1 of Boston Legal. I owe a lot to that show. It makes me complete. And at the same time, I crave for more. I suppose that's life though... are we ever really satisfied? We can say we are, but there's always something...

Anways, I've finally had a breakthrough with job hunting I think. I had a series of interviews the other day with Wal-mart (glorious, no?) that went extraordinarily well. I have to go through their drug testing procedure tomorrow, which I don't foresee as being much of a deterrent. Then hopefully, I'll be working as of next week. It's actually a pretty sweet deal. Full-time position as an overnight cashier. Now I know those words scare people off, but let's think about this: 1. how many people come through at wal-mart at 3am? there's a reason they only have one register open. = easy pickins for me 2. hours that scare people off = more pay. we're talking 8.15 an hour. not bad. 3. that's a lot of hours + that's a lot of money = well, you do the math. it never was my favorite thing.

So all in all, things are taking a turn for the better. At that rate, my dad even said I'd make enough in a month's time to be able to quit early and have the last half of my summer off, but I've decided to see how this all plays out before I make any calls. Besides, the extra money wouldn't hurt, and there are a lot of things I need/want right now.

The hilarity of the situation is that I'm up until at least 2am and sometimes as much as 4am every night anyways. With this job, I'm getting paid to be up and about when I normally am anyways.
