grumblings

Alright, so my gums/jaws still hurt occasionally from getting my wisdom teeth out. I really don't want to go back to the oral surgeon about it, but I may have to. Apparently different people have different healing times, but it's been three weeks. I just don't want to deal with another infection. I can't afford to buy any meds right now.

The job's going well. Over the past three days, I feel like I've really gotten the hang of things. I'm getting better all the time.

Three weeks and one day until Fleetwood Mac!

excitation

I am currently working job #2 for today. I'm sure I'll be tired tomorrow. I was at DFS from 8:30 to a little after 5 and I clocked in at WFM at 5:34. I'm here until 10. But tomorrow I get to sleep a little longer in the morning, so that will be nice.

Today was the first day I and the other new employees were able to get out on the floor and start learning our jobs. I haven't gotten to do much yet, but I am still REALLY excited. I finally got to go to my own cubicle today. I have my own computer, my own space, a wireless headset for my phone, and my phone EVEN HAS MY NAME ON IT. You know, like, on the screen. How freakin' awesome is that? I feel like a kid in a candy store in this place. The only bad thing I've found so far? I don't get my first paycheck until April 15.

I'll be glad when Friday rolls around so I can buy some groceries and have something other than oatmeal and pasta to eat.

news

Here it is, almost a week after my oral surgery and I am still in pain. The most solid food I've eaten is pizza (yesterday) and that was a long process. I'm pretty sure my stitches are coming out though, which is kind of gross. I go back to see the oral surgeon tomorrow, so hopefully he can tell me why my cheeks are still swollen. :(

I start a new job on Monday. I am going to be working as a contract auditor with Dealers' Financial Services. I'll be staying on part-time with Whole Foods for some time. I'd like to get my credit card paid off and buy some amenities for myself. You know, couch, washer, dryer, that sort of thing. Maybe I can even send myself to Vegas (since Ellen clearly isn't going to). I'm really excited about getting to do something new. I even get my own cubicle!

That's it for now. For some reason I'm still really tired.

I look like a freaking chipmunk.

Got my wisdom teeth out yesterday so I am recuperating from that. My mouth hurts REALLY bad, even with Lortab every four hours. I can barely fit like half a spoon in my mouth, and all I've eaten since yesterday morning at 7 is a Frosty, strawberry yogurt, and chocolate pudding. Not in large quantities either. But I have until Tuesday to feel up to going to work, so I think I should be okay by then. Unfortunately, most of my federal tax refund that I was going to use to pay for those Fleetwood Mac tickets had to be spent on my procedure yesterday because I didn't have as much money in my HRA as I thought. Hopefully things will work out in my favor and I won't be terribly broke much longer. (More to come on that next week.)

My Ellen video now has over 100 views on YouTube. If you haven't watched it yet, you should!
