State of Affairs (remix)

Sure, we were threatened to be kicked out, but I'm still oddly chipper. We have two places we could go and would probably be better off, so, no worries anymore. I have talked to Frank and he will not be having me working mostly maintenence anymore. My shifts will be somewhere like 4 PM - close or whatever so that I'll be mostly in game room or party room, helping customers. This is goooot. Goooot. Mike is joining a temp agency, and there's already an opening for a technician starting at $12/hr. WOOT! Oh, and, THE TELESCOPE IS UP FOR SALE. Please look and bid. >:) Yuss. It works very nice, trust me, we looked at Saturn's rings and it was awesome. :3Time for popcorn and movie.Hamha out.

Selling extra Baggage

I think I had a nervous breakdown this morning.. haven't quite yet recovered.I offered to sell my jewelry for money and my clothes. He says its too much of a hassle to have a driveway sale and instead wants to sell his telescope on ebay along with an old ring. Think I will try to sell some stuff too once we have enough money for me to justify smaller sales (since the money goes straight into the bank, I wouldn't be able to get the winnings to use for shipping yet until bank is paid off).Probably clothes, jewelry, an old painting, shoes, anything I find lying around that I don't need anymore. Maybe also my old PS1 with some games including DDR and a dance pad. Will post more when stuff goes up.Please consider browsing... we need the money very badly.

My Problem with Ergo Keyboards

A long time ago I started suffering hand-pains when I used the computer. My dad bought me a Microsoft Natural Pro keyboard (the old, white ones, remember?) and since then I've loved ergos. I simply cannot use the straight, flat keyboards anymore, as they almost immediately make my hands hurt. After a few days, they REALLY hurt. I don't mean a slight ache, I mean it gets bad to the point where I can't use my hands for much of anything other than to display the latest finger/wrist splint fashions.So, this keyboard is very old now, there's god-knows-what stuffed between the keys (I distinctly remembering some Nerds falling out when I tried to clean it a couple years ago, along with part of a Cheeto and other assorted odd, unrecognizable things), and I want a new one. Sad to say, I go through this phase of wanting a new keyboard somewhat regularly, but can never find a good one.Want to know why? Because apparently no one can figure out how to make them right. That page is very close to explaining every problem I have with the new designs. I just can't make an ergo keyboard anymore that is NORMAL. And in all seriousness, when I played with a new Microsoft Natural, I had no clue where the insert key went! They have to move keys around, remove keys, remove LEDs, etc. Just because I use an ergo doesn't mean I'm a REBEL who wants everything different. I means I just want a keyboard that won't make my hands shrivel. (But the media/sleep keys ARE nice, despite.)Part of my issue with this old keyboard is that I don't have a replacement stashed away, and two, it's so old that when I type on it the noise is incredibly loud. So if Mike is trying to sleep and I'm still on the computer for whatever reason, it sounds like there's a herd of buffalo stomping across the equipment.I want a new keyboard for my birthday but at this rate I don't think anyone will ever make them "properly" again. :( If anyone can even FIND a regular, ergo keyboard for sale that is new (and quiet), I'd be very happy. I might not be able to afford it now but that doesn't mean I wouldn't eventually purchase it.I bit the bullet and applied to a local Chuck E. Cheese's. o_o; The two jobs in particular included waitress (I'd only really deliver pizzas, drinks, and tokens, so whatever), and party hosting, which includes setting up party tables, insuring they all get their food, drinks, sing happy birthday along with any characters there, and bus the tables after they leave. Not too bad. It's a lot better than the one in what we call, Hickory Hood.EDIT:Daiktana found this. Omg! I know what I want for my birthday now.

Dreaming of Food

Last night I dreamed I was eating an Auntie Ann's pretzel with marinara sauce dip.Other stuff happened but that was the highlight of the dream.Am I pathetic for dreaming about food?

Interview

Went to the interview! It was ok. They said they'd call me back in a few weeks to let me know either way and possibly for a second interview. The person they are replacing doesn't leave until August, that's when they'll hire someone new. They told me I was in the top 5 choices, but, my salary would be $6.50/hr. Bleh. Oh well, it IS a job, even if it's $3.50 below what my previous one paid.Went on-duty on Furcadia, blahblah, stayed on too long and got bombarded, started getting stressed so I had to disconnect.Looks like NamelessRO Sunrise server is back offline, UGH. And they were in the top 3 servers? Ya ok, whatev'. I'll probably be looking for a new one soon because it's aggravating not getting to play. I still wish I could play WoW, woe is me and my money problems. :p Soon, my precious, soon.

Finally, a callback! And it's EB Games!

That's right! Around 5 PM EB Games calls me and wants to schedule an interview, and the guy at the store had told me they weren't going to start that until later in the month! So either his information was wrong or they want me. :DThis is a nice change of pace. I was woke up this morning by a rude call from an account wanting money that we owe.The interview is Friday, at 1:30 PM. I write this so I can remember it. :3 Wootwoot!

Goodbye to Dunlaps.org, Hello new Style -- Oh and possibly a job.

Dunlaps.org is being taken down, perse, so now my journal will serve as my homepage, of sorts. Yes, its gotten a theme update, because all the images used in the previous style were being hosted on dunlaps.org. This one new one is nice though, I like the colors and the white background on the actual journal texts means I can use the hammie mood icons. ^_^Yesterday we did a little job hunting followed by a trip to the in-laws. We were both dead tired though, cause we got no sleep what-so-ever. Went to bed at 9 AM for a change yesterday and got up today at 1 PM. I had to run an errand for mom, she woke me up with the call.Much to my suprise, EB GAMES was hiring. :D I filled out an applications and asked some questions. Apparently most of the applicants are 17 years old so I've got an edge when it comes to age/maturity (haw!). Also, I have a free schedule and can work any day at any time slot, so I hope I've got this job in the bag! I was told that they would start intervewing applicants towards the end of July, to the middle of August. Oooooie I hope I get the job, it's such a NICE, clean store close to home and I could be surrounded by video games all day long! Of course, there is the possibility of being hired for the other store further down town, but it's still not a bad deal!Here's hoping! (Here's hoping to discounts on WoW game cards, too, heh)I need to make myself some new LJ icons too. Will do soon!6:30 PM Update:Found that cute little pic and made it 100x100. ^_^ I've emailed the original creator to make sure it's ok, waiting to hear back. Hahhaaha, isn't it cute?!12:30 AM Update:Heard a response. The userpic is A-OK and here to stay. :)

Vadercoaster at 6 AM

Mmm, vadercoaster. I swear I'm becoming more and more nocturnal by the day. It's NOT cool. Oh, and, apparently SecondLife is giving away FREE basic accounts (they were formerly $10 one-time fee) for a little while. Methinks I'll look into that when hubby wakes up so we can pick the same last name.TOMMY IS HOGGING MY SIDE OF THE BED, HIS FUR MAKES THE BED HOT AND THEN I CAN'T SLEEP. >:( Silly cat. I hate to move him, he's so cute when he sleeps.I miss World of Warcraft. :( I miss the A-team. We rocked. And hard.
