So.
Today is my first day at Chase, and I'm so pumped.
New job.
New environment.
New people.
New genre of work.

I'm FINALLY out of retail, and hopefully I will start to feel like my life is falling back into place. The people that I interviewed with were spectacular, and they seemed really excited to have me on board, so I hope that things go well.

I need a new home. I miss having a place that loves me as much as I love it and them, and I miss having a job that I adore where I can put my whole self into it. My other Best Buy store owned my soul, and it was probably the best feeling ever =] Nothing can ever compare, but I hope Chase comes close because I need this. I need it so much.

Quick weekend update:
It was awesome. Aside from feeling like shit yesterday.. dehydration ftl, imo. Joshie and I polished off a 5th of Jose Black, and I was so wasted. The last few times that I've drank, it hasn't been hard liquor, or at least not that much of it, so that's probably why it hit me so much harder lol. Needless to say, it was a lot of fucking fun apart from the whole crying bit which I'm sick of happening when I drink. I NEVER used to be like that.

Next weekend will probably be even better, so yay for that! Bill's homecoming party is on Friday. FMF's cookout/party is on Saturday [both days will most likely be filled with moderate drinking], and Sunday is another rec game at WMiA's airsoft field. Can't. Fucking. Wait. =D

I still have the best boyfriend [M!!!!] in the world as well as the best brothers [Kelly and Doc], AND the best DB [drinking buddy] that Michigan has to offer.

I love my life, kthxbai.

Bad dreams ftl.
Last night was horrible. I don't normally remember my dreams, and I'd like to think that my nights are mostly dreamless, however I know for a fact that is never the case as everyone dreams whether they remember them or not.

Unfortunately last night I forgot how to forget.

I was being chased. And it wasn't like someone was right on me, and I was running away, but he knew where I was despite being quite a ways back. It was suffocating, and I wasn't alone. One of the girls I was with, I went to high school with, so that was a little weird because I haven't talked to her in years. We were in this big house that we were trying to get out of, and I woke up right as we found a window to crawl out of. A window that made absolutely no noise when you opened it which is still incredibly annoying. When I woke up, it was a relief. My hands were shaking, and my breath was struggling to steady itself as reality set in. I clung to Pj for dear life and fell asleep again. Once I hit REM sleep, I was back in the dream right at the part where I was climbing out of the window again, and then I woke up. This went on until about 6 in the morning when I was finally able to sleep peacefully.

The last time that I had a bad dream that really shook me up was when I had my wisdom teeth extracted, and I fully blame the pain medication for that. This time I'm not quite sure what was going on, but I keep finding myself sitting or standing perfectly still and looking behind me from time to time with the feeling that someone is watching me or following me.

Sigh.

Seriously?
New Kids on the Block? I'm DYING.

When I was a youngin, I was pretty much obsessed with them. I had a NKOTB sleeping bag ffs. And now they're back. THEY'RE BACK?! It seems almost surreal.

Quick update:
-Best Buy screwed me, but that's okay because now I don't have to stress about working another day in that fucking shit hole. My dad even told me to fuck em and not get upset which says a LOT.

-Friday may indeed be the very first airsoft game that I play in, however I make no promises that I will follow through with such things.

-M! =]

That's all. <333

This weekend was pretty much amazing =] Saturday we had some alright storms with a ton of rain. We headed over to Doc's for a bit, and when the storms hit, we decided to just wait it out. So I was cuddled up on the couch with my SH, and a blanket while we all watched the weather until around 11pm when we decided to make a break for it while there was a break from the storms.

They have a ridiculously adorable little girl named Aurora that I was pretty amused by lol. She's just starting to walk, so it was a blast to play with her a little bit outside while the guys were talking about airsoft stuff.

On Sunday Pj surprised me with a trip to the zoo in Grand Rapids which was full of win! I've been wanting to go to the zoo for quite a while now, so I was extremely excited when I saw the signs for it. I camera whored a little bit, and was pretty entertained by the tiger and river otter haha. I'll have to upload the pictures I took later today =] After the zoo, Pj took me on a tour of downtown Grand Rapids which was fun. The rest of the afternoon consisted of AoC, CoD, and a short nap, all of which was quite enjoyable =]

4 more days at Best Buy, and I'll finally be done! I have one more closing shift which is tomorrow, and after that no more working past 6! It's very very exciting! It's so hard not to just say eff you and not go into work at all, and I want so badly to blow this week off, but I can't. =[ Damn me for being all responsible and stuff *le sigh* I'm pretty pumped about starting at Chase, and I can't wait for the change in scenery!

Not much else has been going on.. I'm hoping that the rest of this month goes by fast, because I can't wait for the 4th of July!! I hope that the fireworks we end up going to are amazing, and I hope that the weather complies as well. It's my favorite holiday, and I have a feeling that it's going to be even more wonderful because of who I get to spend it with =D I'm also looking forward to all the pictures I'll be taking of the fireworks. The ones I took last year turned out pretty well, so I can't imagine how well these ones will look since the camera I have now is significantly upgraded from what I was using last year.

That's pretty much all I've got =D ilmshsfminef!!!

I put my two weeks in at Best Buy yesterday, and my last day is the 13th, I think. The schedule for next week wasn't posted yet, soo maybe I won't work on Friday *shrugs* I was SO happy though when I left, and I'm still ridiculously happy lol. I can't wait to start at Chase! I won't work past 630pm any night during the week, and I'll be done by 1pm on Saturday's, Sunday's off, major holidays off, and I won't have to deal with the retail holidays!! I have been wanting a job like this for SO long, and I'm glad that it's going to be with Chase because everyone seems great =D

I decided that I'm going to get the Depo shot instead of doing the pill for birth control. I've been researching it all morning, and I changed up my appointment on Friday so I can get that done instead. Spending $46 every three months vs. $20 every month sounds a LOT better. I'm slightly concerned with some of the side effects, but I'm going to find out from whomever I speak with at Planned Parenthood if there are any vitamins or supplements that I can take to help with preventing those. It will work well with my lifestyle since kids aren't in my future until after/if I get married again, and that [marriage] is far off in the future as well. So I'm good =]

So that's pretty much it. Things are pretty damn great =D

*insert really girlie and giddy stuff here*

My interview
Was fucking AMAZING. Again. I interviewed with Becky [HAHAHAHAHAHA yes, this is the 3RD BECKY], and Bob again. And again, laughter ensued. I heard Bob laugh and say "I love it" on more than one occasion, so obviously my bubbly wit completely won him over. I had a feeling things were going to go well because his face lit up when I walked through the door, and that's not something a person can just fake.

Anywayyyy. Becky was pretty awesome, and she seems a little timid compared to the other two Becky's I've been under the supervision of, but that's okay. She was still fun, and she laughed too. =D

I hope to GOD I get this job. Both interviews were just amazing, and I would love to work with both of those two! I'm supposed to hear back from corporate HR in a week or a week and a half, and they also told me that there was probably a 32 hour position opening up too. I'm pretttyyyy sure that they wouldn't tell that to someone that they didn't want to hire unless I'm just completely crazy? lol

So yea. =]
*happy*

So. 2nd Chase interview is in an hour, and I'm kind of excited about it.
It's also raining, and I'm really excited about that. All I need now is darker clouds and some lightning to bring on the thunder =]
I pretty much love storms, however now isn't a particularly great day for them considering we are heading out to FMF's field tonight to camp out for the op, Hot Sauce, tomorrow. I'm not at all a fan of mud or being out in the rain longer than I want to be.

Maybe it's not raining out there.

My Slayer kitten is getting noticeably larger, and it's cute =] He's staring out the window and watching it rain as well, so I'm thinking that I'll watch a movie [or Grey's] when I get back and snuggle up with him on the couch. I've been working all week long, and I haven't had any one on one time with him which has been most unfortunate.

I worked last night, and it was the most productive shift that I have ever had at this Best Buy. I managed to get out 2 apps [the BBY card, and RZMC attach which I know is Greek to most of you], and I also got account shield on both which was an even bigger deal to me because financing at my other store was my baby, and I strove for perfection every time an application came my way. I also hit both of my daily goals, core RZ sign ups, as well as my PRP dollar amount. It was extremely satisfying, and Becky was calling me her rockstar all night long which felt so good. Despite the good night I had, I'm still ready to leave and move on. I've been with Best Buy for over a year, and this isn't a store that I want to move up within, and I can't seem to transfer to another one. I'm ready to move away from what's been my home for the last year into something that's a little more reputable. I'm really hoping that I'm offered the job at Chase.

Oh, and one last thing. This.. this is it. He is it. I'm done hoping, wondering, and looking. I'm confident, certain, and ridiculously happy =] I wish he was here to snuggle with me and Slayer, but I know he'll be home before I know it. And kind of random, but I love the mornings when I get to wake up to him even when he's physically not here, and that is what makes today a great day. Ily, msh.

I looks like it's going to rain, and I hope to god that it does.

Oh, and my gold bracelet that I got from my dad and wear every single day? Gone. I put it on my dresser last night like I do every night before I go to bed, and when I went to grab it and put it on, it's gone. I looked all around where I had it, and I can't find it anywhere.

Today is a better day.
Sleep is pretty amazing.
New music in my library is even more amazing.

3 hours of sleep for the lose.
My stomach hurt so bad last night, so I tossed and turned all night long. I didn't feel like I was going to be sick of anything, it just hurt. A lot.

I hate just about everything/everyone.
Especially her and everything about her. She makes me tweak when I'm already irritated and crabby.

Off to work.

I really think I might throw up.
