So for the past month I've been working towards becoming a home owner. Today I signed with an agent and have my first showing of a house I'm ecstatic about seeing later on tonight. If things go well, I can be out of this shit hole city with its shit ass neighbors who own Pitbulls that attack innocent Corgis unprovoked and shit ass landlords who do nothing about it sooner rather than later. Needless to say, I'm jumping around my apartment like a four year old that's eaten loads of ice cream and candy. :)

The only thing that could make all this better is if you actually HAD eaten loads of ice cream and candy in celebration, mirite? That is awesome.... Owning your own house is definitely something to be ecstatic about. Congratulations in advance, and take a lot of pictures before and after the move!

I get inventory off. We do it once a month. And this will be the first time I've had it off in 3? years. Which is super bad ass. My boss made me count some of the freezer today, which wasn't bad. But all in all today was fucking great. And getting inventory off is an amazing thing. I was so happy I tinkled a little bit. (not really, I have better bladder control then that.)

Forgot to say, I also got three days off! Super happy about that.

Got a new macro lens a couple of months ago and boy does it make a difference! Feel like my shots are improving all the time.

Warning! Bugs!  :))

Uh. I'm moving at the end of July. I have never been this happy/nerves all at the same time, and about the same thing.

Thanks r00!


My main issue is that it's kinda to early to try to find a place up there. And while we have looked at some places (online) End of July move in is a long time off. (well kinda.) And so transferring up there for work is an issue. As there is a few stores up there, Either way it's going to be a little bit of a bus ride. It's just once I put in for the transfer that limits what area we can move into. Hopefully the place we looked at will have an opening with OUT the sky line view (It made the rent ~600 bucks more a month. For that much, I'd look at a very nice pretty brick wall. So ya, fuck the view.)

aaron you can totally find a way better job than wal mart in seattle, you could totally start checking job ads and applying now. You have the retail experience so it should be no problem getting into something like a bookstore, music store, cafe, etc.
Oh hi

Oh ya, that is the plan. I want to go up there with a job. THEN find a new job. I will have a lot of vacation time coming up in September (three weeks, which also shows how long I have worked there) that I will use to find a new job (assuming that I didn't already find a new job.)


I can also solve my 3x3 cube with one hand now. And while I'm not fast at it. 5ish minutes I think. I can solve it, and I have been using my left hand which is helping a lot (I'm right handed) since a lot of the algs are done on the right side of the cube and the top of the cube. So that is helping a lot. I find it's a lot funner then just solving it...
