End of 2015

2015 is almost at an end, and I haven't posted in over four months, so I guess I should give an update.

I've been busy as fuck the past few months. My friend got evicted. I moved out and got a place with her. And just as soon as I'm getting ready to move, which was the beginning of October, my work decided to start mandatory overtime. Great.

In early October, I saw that there was an opening for a Monday-through-Thursday or Tuesday-through-Friday daytime shift at another building, and put in for it. The catch was that I'd either have to work Sunday-through-Wednesday, or Wednesday-through Saturday, from the beginning of November until Christmas. I got the Tuesday-through-Friday shift, meaning I had to work Wednesday-through-Saturday for November and most of December. The two weeks that I got to do Tuesday-Friday were nice, but the Wednesday-Saturday was awful. Black Friday and the week following it were pretty bad, and I don't even want to talk about it right now. I'm just glad that it slowed down after that Sunday, even despite that Monday being Cyber Monday. But anyway, now that Christmas is over, and my schedule is reverting back to Tuesday-Friday, I can breathe a little sigh of relief.

You know, I've never really come up with a nickname for my employer of the past three years. The tv show "Maron" gave me some inspiration. From now on, I'll refer to it as Steel Johnson.

I've lived here for three months, and not only do I not have my turntable set up, it's still sitting at my mom and dad's. Oh well, hopefully I'll have it over here pretty soon.
