piss poor job

I am doing a piss poor job of updating and using my blog.

The latest new...

Heather has a wonderful boy that had put up with/gotten under a good amount of layers of Heather... its a really good thing, but I sometimes wonder what it is that he likes so much some times.

I am waiting for a phone call to set up an interview for a full time job with Verizon.

In the off chance (or really likely hood) that they call while I am at the other job, I finally, after years of saying I should, changed my voice mail message... go on, you know you want to call it after 1 pm to check it out... go head, leave a message and let me know what you think?? (considering I have not ever changed it I think, this is a major accomplishment)

I am sufficiently disappointed in my tax return. I was hoping to pay off the CC completely with it and just have it done... that would be too easy, sigh... soon enough.

And in the process of finally setting up my own car insurance, the only thing my parents were still paying for, I was able to get that done through USAA and found out I am pre-qualified for a CC with them. Now the only reason I would open any more CC's is for an American Express, simply because it is the only card Costco accepts, and it drives me bonkers to spend a good chunk of money and not have it go to something I am getting reward points on (or few, which is the case with the debit card).

And its 0% APR for the first year... so I can transfer the balance from the stupid 13, nearly 14% APR credit card for the time being, and pay off the rest before next Feb. which will happen.... I am hoping by the end of summer... no interesting accurring, and an american express. I am ok with that.

Oh and I closed the Kohl's card. I don't live really near one, or go past one on the way anywhere really, and since I opened the USAA CC, I would rather not have 4 cards sitting open, 3 is enough, so I closed it. VS CC is still around, although I should close that one too... ehhh, its been open a while and I use it every few months and pay it right off, so I suppose there isn't anything bad about it.

I need to get running again on a regular basis... it needs to happen.

I am finally getting over the tail end of whatever I had last week, it was a rough week all the way around, but being sick and not being able to talk on top of everything else, just was a killer.

My bridesmaid dress came in I hear, I won't see it til the wedding, which is slightly frightening, but I am not too worried about it. Just trying to work to save up for this trip the best I can. Staying healthy and being able to go to work is the best way to do that, might pick up some extra shifts this week to help out... and I guess to help pay off the CC!?!?!

4 payments and counting on the car payment... almost down to triple digits left still owed on it! Crazy, I can't wait. Although tires will need to be done shortly after, and I think the brakes might need to be inspected, they should be alright, but they are a little creaky.

Trying to come up with ways to get out of my lease... over priced storage unit. I do like being here (I am here now) but I really spend so little time here, $500 a month could easily make a dent in the CC each month/ help pay for rent where I am actually living most of the time. And then I wouldn't have this shuffle of moving my stuff back and forth. But am I really ready to live live there?? That is the question.

Alright off to get on with my day and the rest of everything I need to deal with before work. Will keep you posted on the Verizon thing. Would be nice, get some real sales experience.

Also, with the thoughts of what I want to do with the rest of my life since the Planning world sucks right now, and sitting still getting beat up by mental patients doesn't pay enough, I realized I forgot about something I have really actually wanted to do for years already... Real Estate. Now I know that really isn't any better then planning, but even with a down economy people are moving and selling and buying... and I dunno... maybe I should just finally do it??

At least get some of the class room work done that will help me get there, it is more of a people person/customer service job, but has the desk/office environment to it as well... could actually be a good fit, and the planning degree actually would be helpful to a degree (get it, a degree *smirk, sorry, I like my puns). That is the thought for the week anyways.

Have a lovely week, it is Monday after all, but a beautiful day outside.
