the title for my car came in the mail. it looks so official, i think i might have to frame it. unless of course i'm supposed to have it in the car all the time. i wonder if a frame of this size would fit in my glove compartment? maybe i could hang it off the back of my seat or something. it has a seal, some fancy border, a marbled background, and caligraphy lettering. sweet super sweet. thinking about it, i've never really owned anything big like this. my most substantial purchases up to this point have been a 21" TV and a mini fridge. everything else has been bought for me or handed down. it says on the title that my car is silver. i'd call it more of a champagne.
while all of this is very exciting, it is also a little depressing. i'm 25, and my three biggest purchases in life have been a tiny tv, a beer fridge, and a car that cost less than huey's laptop. or even less then my first computer (that was bought for me). *sigh* i won't let it get me down though. i do have $13,000 in student loans. so i guess i bought something there. we'll just call it experience for lack of a better word right now.
first football game of the season is this saturday. go tech!! i'm excited. but even better, angel called and told us about the buy one get one free offer for braves tickets they are running right now if you show a student id. this comes quite perfectly on the heels of a conversation we had just last night about how i still have never been to a braves game. everyone i know has gone to one, always leaving me out. so we are all going as a big family outing next friday night. the family is of course the apt here, along with whoever we want to invite, and not my actual family. we are kind of like the mob. i'll start referring to us as the family from now on.
and the family has been a little bigger lately. one of jay's coworkers had a bit of a lovers spat with his gf and ended up changing his mind about moving in with her. unfortunately, his lease is already up so that leaves him homeless. we're letting him crash on our couch for now. i'm afraid we are keeping him up too late all the time, but it's fun having him around. he's a good guy. considering i don't meet very many new people and even less that i actually like, steve gets a thumbs up from me.
and finally, on the work front, i just busted my ass the last six days to make up the 12 activations i needed to meet quota. luckily, people were sick and we were understaffed so i got my 12 plus an extra 7 more, so i'm sitting pretty for the month of august. the problem now is that i have tomorrow and saturday off, as well as sunday, so it is going to be the sixth of the month before i know it and i won't have any activations again. i have to get at least half of my quota before the 15th to qualify for something they cleverly call the faststart bonus. every month i start out behind like this and have to come back. granted, i do like competition and a challenge, but starting slow every month is costing me $200 a month. fuck me.
