It's amazing how much can change in less than a month.

My last entry on One Song was 22 May. I was still working solely at Waldenbooks. I didn't think I had any other prospects, even though I had several applications out. Not too long after that I got a call from Strozier Library for an interview. By June 6th, I was hired and had started work. I'm now on my first full week of work at a Real Job. I'm hitting upwards of $9 an hour, with my yearly salary at $19,600 a year. I have a set schedule that will not change until Fall Semester. And best of all, it's a career that will help pay for my education. You read that right; after 6 months, FSU picks up the bills for up to 6 credit hours per semester. I can stand to go at that pace.

The downsides, of course, are, right now I have one night a week when I have to be here till 11:30 (This will change in Fall, I believe.), I won't be albe to go to the Meat Loaf concert because I'm asking time off a few weeks after that for Anime Weekend Atlanta, and the lack of food (I have a hard time remembering to pack a lunch in the mornings) is making my blood sugar funk out. I mean, today I had two cups of pineapple, some coffee, and water for lunch... and that's better than I've been eating. I need to go to Big Lots and Wally McMart and buy PopTarts and microwave meals. Or maybe Winn Dixie, since they have personal sizes of the vegetable lasagna I love so much. The point is, I need to eat more than I am before I collapse. And tonight, I'm going to have to eat something resembling real food. I wonder if I can get Hikari to swing by Winn Dixie so I can get pork chops and make us sweet and sour pork tonight. We haven't had it in a while after all.

And I have no idea when Klepto will be back from SciFi Summer. It ended Monday, but she wants to get Kaji to drive her back to Florida instead of taking the Greyhound again, so who knows? Of course, I've probably jinxed myself now and she's back. No, she'd have probably called, unable to find her way back.

Anyway... Time to get back to work. Ciao.
