...November 3rd, Can't Believe It.

Where the hell has time gone? It's like all of time is just in super speed mode (yeah I threw a Sonic slam in there) and I can't get it to stop. But I'm not complaining though. Every moment brings me closer to grad school, and that's a very good thing. So then, time for an update there's lot to tell.

*So of the most important things: In my one job at VETS, they haven't paid me for a single day in there and we've already moved into the last month of my internship. I can't say that I'm awfully surprised, as their organization is SERIOUSLY fucked. They're so confused, they're running around with their head up everyone else's ass and I just kinda stepped in there. If I had known what I was getting into, I seriously may not have agreed to that job. Its' just too much drama. I could've been over at GMMB everyday making considerably less but at least at a more stable job with a stable environment. However, I love the people in VETS though. Mike Parker is awesome, as is Sheena, Lisa and a few of the others. GMMB doesn't have that edge over me. That place is like a tomb. Quiet and cold as one too (though not now, since they have the heat blasting.) There are few people there I like, like Jyl and Anne, Jared and the other chick that's considerably bubbly. And of course, Jim. Love him. I wish I could talk to him more. But he's been sick/busy, so that makes things difficult.

Anyway, the reason I started with them, they haven't paid me. So I haven't gotten paid yet. And the cherry on top? I haven't gotten paid from GMMB either. Miriam (my boss) forgot to turn in my timesheet until very late so they're paying me on the 15th or something. They said they would try and rectify it since it was her mistake, but we'll see once I have the check in hand. VETS claimed their paying me sometime tomorrow for two paydays. Again, we'll see once it's in my account. As far as my bills? yeah they're totally due right now, but I don't have the money to pay it. (well I do, but it'd be draining my rent money which is what I'm living off of at the moment) So we'll have to see when all of this is gonna hit the fan. Anyway....

that's the bad part.

*I met a lady on the train (Keisha, I think her name is) and she practically offered me an internship once my current one is done (which is fucking awesome!) after I spent a few minutes talking to her on the Metro. (Funny how two of my jobs have started that way now). but that's cool.

*Canada has been emailing me (finally!) and I have the green light to turn in the rest of my application so they can tell me if I'm getting in in the Fall, which would make me die of happiness at this point. We'll have to see.

*THE ELECTION IS TOMORROW! did you hear me? THE ELECTION IS TOMORROW! WE CAN HAVE A BLACK PRESIDENT AS OF TOMORROW!!! MY GOD IT'S TOO MUCH!
