I got a new job!!

I haven't started yet, but I did go in this past Wednesday to train / observe. It's at a forklift company and I'll be doing reception, invoicing, and helping work on the website.

I'll be getting paid $5 more an hour than I am now. So I'll be making close to $27K a year which is a great feeling when I haven't ever made more than $8K. :/ I'll have benefits, 401K, insurance, etc. It'll be so nice. It's a lot to learn and will probably take a while for me to get the hang of everything but I'm really excited about it.

I start on March 1 as far as things are going now. My current workplace hasn't hired anyone to fill my spot so I'm not sure what's going on with that. I gave my manager my 2 weeks like 2 weeks ago. Lol. But I haven't told the owner yet. I'll most likely drop that bomb Monday or after Mardi Gras (which will be a week before I leave). If they still haven't found anyone to replace me then oh well. It's not my problem.

Anyway I am excited and I will have money! And it will be awesome. :DDD

If anyone else is on Dreamwidth and I don't have you on there, feel free to add me — simplify. Though obviously, I neglect that journal as much as I do this one, but I'm going to try to do better and cross-post entries.

If I tried selling prints again, would anyone be interested or know people who would be?

Anything specific you'd like to see? Small, big, rectangular, square, etc?

Maybe made on things or just a good quality print?

I'd love to be able to sell my photography but I just don't think I'd have much of a consumer base for the type of stuff I shoot. :/

So I've finally taken some steps in helping my job / financial situation. I finally finished my resume and applied at the credit place next door. When I finally have time to bring my resume to places, I'll be doing that hopefully come Wednesday of next week.

I need money. It is seriously time for me to put my big girl pants on and just own up and get a better job. If I can make $12/hr I think that'll be good for now. I know that's really still not enough to survive on in this day and age, but at least I won't be stressing about money every month.

Yesterday made 4 months I've been with my boyfriend. It seems longer than that and shorter at the same time. It's weird. It's been good though. We do as much as we can when he's not working and then when he's working, I barely get to see him. Lol. We make it work though. And I'm happy, so that's all that matters. :)

( We make a special couple, alright. )

Anyway, still not back into the swing of blogging about life, but hopefully I will in the next coming month or so.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.

I need to catch up on livejournal. It's been a very busy last couple of months and even though I know I'm not nearly as active on here as I used to be, I still want to try to be somewhat active on here instead of not.

I facebook, G+, and tumblr more than anything now. I can't help it, they just tend to hold more activity than livejournal now. Besides the select few of you, no one is really active here anymore. While that makes me sad, I've done the same so....



Anyway! I'll try to post some pictures or something here soon just to show that I am still alive. Hehe.

I know every year I send out Christmas / Holiday cards, but unfortunately this year I will not be able to do so. Between the lack of time and money, it's just not feasible with my already very small budget.

I always enjoy sending cards out, even if it is just such a small thing, so I'm really sad that I can't do it this year. Especially since for the last few years it's been such a joy for me.

And I know I never post anymore, what with Facebook, Twitter, and Tumblr ruling my life nowadays but I really do miss you guys. I miss chatting and commenting with so many of you. And I hope that everyone is doing well.

I wanted to post this a while back but I've just been busy and kept forgetting to actually post it.

We adopted a cat from the local Petsmart through Hope for Animals. He's a beautiful gray/silver/white striped tabby named Caine.



( Tons of pictures under here. )


And that's that. :D
