Sorry I haven’t been returning comments lately. I’ve barely had to time to do much because I decided to go down to the Bay Area at the last minute on Thursday. Then I came back late Friday night, had to work early the next day and spent the whole day shopping and running errands with my mom yesterday. Whew!

I have excellent news!! Joshua got a job at Mercedes! On Friday the 19th Joshua had two interviews at Mercedes-Benz dealerships. First he had one in Oakland, which is quite a bit of ways from where we will be living. That interview went well and they practically begged him to work there. They wanted to start him at $18.50something an hour, but he would have to join the union and fees for that were roughly $120 bucks a month; he’d also get partial benefits and wouldn’t have a chance to get a raise for 4-5 years. All-in-all, Joshua was interested but it all depended on what San Rafael had to offer. At San Rafael they wanted to start him out at $15.50 an hour, but by completing various trainings he could easily move himself up to the same salary at Oakland and then some. Plus he’ll be only 15 minutes away from where we’re living, he gets full benefits, and he doesn’t have to join the union.

So my man is officially a Mercedes-Benz technician at the San Rafael dealership. Now all we have to do is wait for him to finish his training up and that lady to move out so things can begin! I am so excited!

Hours are still blowing at work, mainly having to do with it being just this time of year. Course they weren’t as bad as when I was working at BBW a year ago. It’s gotten to the point where everyone is just covering each other’s shifts to get more hours in. That’s the only way I have been able to rise up from my 11.25 hours scheduled for this week. I’m happy as long as I am getting at least 20 hours a week. The only good thing this lack of hours has done for me is giving me time to do my math homework and continue packing.

I’m hoping this new upgrade of WordPress fixes all those freaky-deaky problems I’ve been experiencing lately.

Anyhoo I have a GIANT mess to clean up and many things to continue packing so I shall bid you all a fond farewell for now. Ta!

Lol, yeah, I swiftly abandoned Cutenews right after I tried it, it LOOKS HARD! At least I know how to do basic stuff on WP, enough for it to function properly, so I’m good.
Yeah, I got rid of the funny uneven lines, it was something to do with image sizes that didn’t match up and so stretched themselves, it was pretty easy to fix once I figured out what was wrong.
I have your birthday, I figured it out from one of your blogs when you mentioned something happening “the day after/before my birthday”, hahah, yay for logic! :D
