| I live in FishtownIt's pretty cool. I like it. I live with two of my sisters-we have a great townhouse. We are a two minute walk from Charis and Joel (a must! :) ) and not far from the little Fishtown library which is really the tinest library I've ever seen, smaller than Holley or Henrietta. But that's good because I'm not so overwhelmed by all these books I haven't read. I don't have a job yet but I had an interview yesterday at the Dubin Group a company that's basically a temp agency. They thought they could help me which is encouraging. I called the Golf club people today but they didn't answer. The land lord was supposed to come today for Kort to sign the lease and hopefully to give me a key to my home but he hadn't shown up when I left home around 2:30. I'm excited to see my PBU friends! I'm going Thursday night to bother them. I should let someone know though... I don't feel like I live here yet, maybe once I have a job. We'll see. | | |
| I'm readng a new book so...Time for a new post. 5 more days of work. Maybe only 4 I was scheduled for 4 days this week, (Thurs-Sun) then I was called in Wednesday, then Josh told me I'm working Monday and Tuesday...so 7 days in a row. I don't mind, but that's illegal. So I mentioned it to Derrick (the nice boss, I avoid talking to Josh at all costs) and he said he'd look into it. We'll see what happens. Tuesday I watched The Fellowship of the Ring and right now I'm watching The Two Towers. I like theses movies. Whenever Cross Country puts me on hold they play LOTR music so I've been wanting to watch these movies for awhile. On Monday June 30th I have an interview with a temp agency in Philadelphia! Yea! I'm excited. I hope they find me a job soon. I like the time to relax but not too much of it. Being unemployed is bad for one's bank account. Speaking of which I need to close mine and open a new one. Which could be a problem because I used my debit card to reserve our room for James and Laura's wedding...and because my checks are directly deposited into my account right now and if the account isn't there...yeah. I'll have to change that. 9 days! This book I'm reading is about a girl who is Schizophrenic the things that happen in her head make sense sometimes. Maybe her neighbors are trying to poison her. The world is dangerous, good idea to put boxes all around your bed like a fortress. Maybe everyone is trying to spy on you. It's really fascinating. | | |
| 12 Days until I MoveI'm very excited to move. I like being a New Yorker but I think being a Pennsylvanian will be fun too New Yorker sounds cooler, but I think Pennsylvanian might actually BE cooler. I need to clean things out and pack things up. I probably have a lot of unnecessary junk. I'm going to buy a new cell phone soon. My current one is great but I use it too much now for it to be really useful. And the battery only lasts 3 or 4 hours if I'm using it. It will last all day if my phone just sits in my pocket doing nothing. I'm going to give this phone to Ella. Anyway, once I have a new number I'll facebook everyone and text some other people and give out my number okay? But then watchout! Since I'll have lots of minutes I may call everyone all the time you'll all be quite sick of me. Four more days of work for sure, hopefully I'll work Monday and Tuesday next week but I don't know. Yesterday was a hard day with 8 hours of Josh, but I made it. I was glad. Sometimes I feel like I'm really bad at being a Christian. So bad at it in fact that I'm not good enough for any Christian boy to like me-only good enough for the heathen boys to like me. But I can't date the heathen boys because even if I am a horrible Christian I'm still a Christian and therefore must stay away from the heathens. Because of this problem I will die an old maid. Maybe in Philadelphia there will be a good Christian boy that will think I'm good enough. Maybe he'll be a Christian but not a good one too, though hopefully better than me so that he can help me. This isn't my primary reason for moving, don't worry-though hopefully it will turn out to be a rather nice benefit... Oh Lord I hunger for more of you
Rise up within me let me know your truth
Oh Holy Spirit, saturate my soul
And let the life of God
Fill me now
Let your healing power
Breathe life and make me whole
And the peace of God
Let it reign
Oh Holy Spirit you're my comfort
Strengthen me hold my head up high
And I stand upon your truth
Bringing glory unto you
And let the peace of God
Let it reign I love Insyderz. I think I need more than Skalelluia Too! of theirs. Anyone know if Christian Bookstores still carry Insyderz or if I have to go online? | | |
| I had to wait until I finished Atonement to write again. It was good, pretty much identical to the movie. 14 days left of being an employee of Knockout Lockouts. 18 days until I move. I'm super excited! We have a house for sure so if you want my new address email me and I'll probably give it to you. (Unless I don't trust you :p) It's been very hot here I love it. And we had a Thunderstorm today which I love and according to weather.com we're supposed to have a severe thunderstorm this afternoon with strong winds and maybe large hail. Which could be dangerous for driving...I'm going home this afternoon. I have an ortho appt tomorrow. Okay, time to Jam and shower. | | |
| I think I don't understand the systemI was under the impression that the courteous thing to do was let an employer know when one would be leaving a job, the standard time to do this being two weeks in advance of your departure but any additional time given would be appreciated. Then the employer can plan for your absence and hire someone to replace you on the date of (or a few days before) your leave-taking. Apparently not I told my employer two weeks ago that I was moving to Philadelphia and my last day of work would be June 24th. For awhile things went well, there was the occasional joke "You're lucky you're leaving" when I asked a stupid question but otherwise it was not mentioned. Yesterday when my boss (the one I don't like) was making up the schedule he informed me that "Since I would be leaving them" he had cut my shift. I have no hours this week. He MAY call me in for Friday and Saturday, he'll let me know. He did have a shift for me on Tuesday but I gently reminded him that I asked for that day off three weeks ago. This does put a damper on things. I was hoping to save up for being unemployeed when I first move. However, God remains in control. I have almost enough for a deposit on a house in Philly. If I'm not working I don't have to pay for the bus. Since it's our last month here all the rent has been paid, and 10% of a check (that I give back to God) goes up and down with the amount of the check, so I'm sure it will all work out. Just maybe not the way I had planned...surprise surprise. **edit on 6/4** I feel evil, and happy. I emailed Premier to let them know about what happened incase they could do anything about it and in case they were wondering why my checks were so small. They called Knockout Lockouts and Josh called me about 2 minutes later with 24 hours this week. Hahahaha. I shouldn't be so happy I don't think. I'm actually scared too. What if Josh hates me now? I'm so irrational why should I care if he likes me? | | |
