:D : I've got $145 of happy money.

:( : I don't know what to do with it. I'm thinking about maybe saving up $25 more, and then getting the red 3DS (3DS is a lot more attractive at $170 than it was for $250). Or maybe finally buy myself an HD TV, which I've been wanting for 5 years now. Decisions, decisions...

Ticked: Woke up with the power off today, so I had to go without my morning coffee for about half an hour or so. It may sound like I'm whining, but shit. That was a long half an hour.

Smile: Its me and my girlfriends 10 month anniversary today :D

Ticked: My dog pissed in the floor and sure enough I stepped in it

Smiled: Lots of things. RadioSEGA played a new song of mine on the air, my girlfriend made me, and here's the kicker. You guys ever heard of the TV show , 'Storage Wars'? This guy found a really..dirty, nonworking NES and he said it was worth $13,000..and then got smacked in the face with reality later in the episode. I lol'ed so hard. XD

Rage: I literally did not fall asleep. At all. Ever.

Rage More: I have an interview in 2 and a half hours.

Fuck.

Update:

BIG SMILE? The interview was like... not even an interview. And suddenly a full time position popped up which they told me about since that's what I originally wanted, even though I was going into this interview expecting part time when I talked to them last Thursday. The recruiter really seems to be pushing for me and was awesome, the other guy I interviewed with was just straight up like, "we have just a few applicants to look over and need this position filled ASAP". The recruiter gave me drug work papers and everything to be prepared for a call today.

Ticked: Obviously about to fall over from not having slept in over 24 hours.

Double ticked but awkwardly smiling at the fact of maybe getting a job: Obviously I need to keep myself awake in case of that call for the drug test that would need to be done today.

Scratching my chin weird look: The position is a night shift, 10-6am with Wed's and Thur's off. Honestly, as much of a night owl as I am I prefer getting up early for jobs and having the evening/night to myself... but I'm not gonna complain right now and take what I can get, plus for a security desk position maybe it'll be really easy at night. Sounds better than the part time 16 hours they were originally offering anyways, plus I'll get benefits, maybe a slightly higher pay for the night shift too? Not sure. The pay for the part time position (at this same place) was already looking nice, so hopefully that's the case. That'd be nuts how well that'd work out.

So lots of good news, and lots of crazy news. As of now, I'll take what I can get since I just need money money money. And well if I do like this job, maybe eventually I can get a transfer to a more regular position. I'm jealous of my friends schedule, he works 12 hour shifts Sat-Sun, then 8 hour shifts in the afternoon on Mon-Tue, so he's got a nice three days off. I'd totally love to have a 4/40 schedule someday.

I hope this is finally some luck shining down on me.
