we all already know the bad news. tech ate it big time last night. it was painful to watch. i was literally wincing everytime uconn stretched that lead out. it really is too bad, after all that hard work. i guess the only thing left to say is, better luck next year.
*moment of silence*
and now for the good news! i had orientation today. it was dull as most orientations are. just sat in a conference room with four other new hires and filled out a whole lot of paperwork. then we went through this huge three ring binder of power point slides while a regional manager gave a presentation. it seemed like it took a really, really long time. but really it was only two hours all together. and we get paid for a full eight for showing up, so joy! plus i got my cool new work shirts. i can't express how incredibly happy i am to finally be out of red shirts. i've had to wear red uniform shirts for so long that i almost forgot they come in other colors. i've always, always hated red shirts. and the last two years only magnified that for me. but now i'm in nice whites and blacks, which is a relief.
unfortunately, tongue rings are not acceptable on the sales floor, so i'm going to have to get a clear plug for mine but those things suck cuz you can't eat with them and they pinch your tongue. it'll be a pain in the ass switchin out all the time but you gotta do what you gotta do. also, any more than two piercings an ear is considered "excessive"... so i guess that means my five in each ear is no good. another thing i'll have to take out and put back in every day. but i guess it's worth it because this job should be good for me. it's good pay for sure. and i know huey and jay expect me to do really well with this. they keep saying it's a nobrainer kind of job. i guess we'll see. yay for me and my new job!!
so i start tomorrow. and easter is this sunday. i've always loved easter. everyone dresses up their kids in this cute little frilly dresses with hats and little gloves, lacy socks and mary janes. or the boys get into little shirts and bowties with suspenders or little dockers and dress shirts. it's so cute. then they take them outside, give them a basket and send them rolling around in grass for candy or other toys on an easter egg hunt. and they are always surprised when little billy or mary comes back with grass stains and dirt all over their new easter clothes. duh.
but easter has lots of yummy stuff going on. holidays are just so much fun in general. before i know it, it'll be may. and there's the wedding, which will be fun because i'll get to see all my college friends again. and it'll probably be the last time for awhile. the christmas party will be the earliest, and that's even if we have it again. it's still up in the air. and after that is moving, which will be a month long ordeal i'm sure, what with all the packing, actual moving, and unpacking. not to mention the two month settling in process where everything gets painted, fixed up, etc. it'll be a little crazy, but fun.
huey decided that vegas was something that he just couldn't do, even though i tried to talk him into it. he's just stressed about all the moving expenses and taxes, etc. that we have to pay this month, and he decided it just wasn't worth it. i think it's sad, and i can't say i'd have made the same decision, but i support him in it. there's no point in getting in an argument over me trying to make him go to vegas to gamble and look at naked girls. huh... i sound like either a total weirdo or the best girl friend ever. so lots of busy stuff coming up, and i'm excited. spring is totally all about change, and i've got lots of it on the horizon. which is great, because that's the point this year.
