i love fortune cookies...
Part of it might because they are associated with Chinese food, which, in my opinion, is pretty much always a good thing. Also, I guess I think they are a pretty fun and tasty way to end a meal. But, really, I think I like them so much because my fortunes always end up being creepily accurate. The fortune cookie I got when Chaz and I ordered Chinese on Friday was no exception. My fortune: An exciting new job is about to present itself. How perfect is that?
My first day of work is going to be on May 1, the first day of INTERNATIONAL YOUTH WEEK (mark your calendars, people), which means things are going to be insane. But I think it’s better to start off that way than to just sit in an office and read all week. Hopefully I’ll still feel that way on May 7 (yeah, my first week is even a 6 day work week…bring it on!). I'm also pretty excited about my "boss". I can tell from the few times we've talked that she is one of the most caring and considerate human beings on the face of the planet. Every time we talk she mentions how excited she is to have me on board, which is so nice to hear when you're a little nervous about your first real job. She's also already done so much for me that I can't even begin to thank her, and, yeah, I haven't even started yet. She clearly cares a great deal about the people she works with, and you can’t ask for much more than that, especially from your boss, so all signs point to this job ruling me.
The least good thing about this job is that I have to have a car for it (and if you know me you know that I had vowed to go as long as possible without buying a car…I sure didn’t hold out very long on that one, hey?). Chaz and I went car shopping yesterday and we have it narrowed down to a Honda Fit and a Toyota Yaris (sorry KM, but the Smart didn’t make the cut). I think I’d be fine with either, but I think the Fit is winning right now. It’s bigger, the seats are unbelievable amounts of comfy (seriously, I didn’t want to get out…it’s like a Lay-Z-Boy from heaven), and when driving it I just couldn’t help but say “WHEEEEEEE!!!” over and over again (especially while driving around in circles in empty parking lots…Chaz doesn’t seem to know that this is an important test for a car to pass. It’s kind of like how you need to do the jump test when buying clothing…but I don’t think Chaz gets the jump test either). The only thing that makes me think twice is the price…

Congrats on the new job... and getting out of the whole student thing.
Oh and good luck with the car - as long as you don't drive like a snail on a turtle going WHEEEEE... I can see it now...
hee... snail on a turtle.
I can't believe you have to even explain the circle test. And the jump test, why don't people get the jump test. Do your clothes want to just sit on you? No. They want to move with you, they want to be free. They want to jump. Clothes want to jump the way cars want to drive in circles. It's the way of things. It's indisputable.
Oh Kilometres, I knew you'd understand the importance of the circle and jumps tests. Thanks for having my back!
In other news: Sophie reads this blog?! Yay! Hi Sophie *waves*
in other other news, chelle would just like to wholeheartedly approve of marlito waveing on everyone's blogs. there's so much approving because i can actually see you waveing to all these people from the k-dub.
also, you should be online more often. i miss you.
Sorry, I'll try to be online more, but it's getting harder and harder these days. Charles is a little selfish and thinks he should get to use his computer sometimes...I mean, REALLY! Some people...
You're going to really hate when I start my new job and work 2-3 nights per week...
