My site looks slightly off in netscape. I’d like to resolve this but I’m not exactly sure what’s wrong. Must learn to be more cross-browser friendly.

A friend gave me a good chunk of money to hold me over until “Ex #1″ gets paid and I get my first paycheck. Then things should be easy sailing. I’ll be able to buy groceries and I may actually get to go down to the Grove this weekend, if I can convince my dad to let me take his car since I don’t like putting too many miles on my truck.

I’ve been excited all day long. This is going to be so awesome. I’ll actually have tech training!

The Office Manager from the Vet just called and offered me an overnight position, which means from 10pm-6am during the week. Training will start next week.

I also mentioned to her that if a 3pm-10pm position does open up, that I still want that, and she said fine, they’ll keep looking for and overnight technician then as well. They just don’t know when the PM receptionist position will open up.

So YES. I GOT A JOB.

My cousin and best friend Steph(19) just informed me that her husband Ben joined the military in early December. I knew they had been discussing it for a while, but figured it wasn’t an immediate threat.

Steph and I have always been best friends, even when we were little. She was so adorable and innocent. Her family was mormon and somewhat conservative. Her sister is a complete and utter moron. And she was home schooled because of being teased in middle school. So she was never exposed to the crazyness of highschool.

I took it upon myself to open her up to various things. Even when she was 13, I’d take her out with me and my 18 year old friends. I’d never let her get into trouble, obviously, but to at least give her some freedom. I guess she was a lot like another younger sister.

She just recently moved to Pennsylvania, which is about an hour drive from here, really not that bad. I see her very little, compared to when she had lived 5 minutes away. And it’s very sad. I miss her like crazy.

When I heard she would be moving to wherever Ben is stationed, I cried. Actually I’m still kind of crying. I’m happy that she is happy with Ben, and there have been times where I’ve felt left out while she moves on with her own life. But I am happy for her.

It tears me up inside to think she’ll be moving so far away. And it scares me to death that she might actually enjoy living elsewhere and I’ll get to see her maybe during the holidays. That’s no way to have a relationship. And I am so sick of long distances ones.

I still have plenty of friends around, but it just wouldn’t be the same. Not without Steph. Heh, maybe when I become famous I can fly out to see her as often as I want
Jesus, I’m losing all of my friends, I’m losing CLG, I have no money to even live, and I’m still waiting for my job. Could something else PLEASE go wrong?

My dad and I spent some time this morning routing through all of our change jars (we actually have a few around). We found a few dollars in change, of which my father is going out to buy some necessities. Bread, milk, tuna fish, maybe some cheap hot dogs.

That’s pretty much all the money we’re going to have for the rest of the month, and all of the food too. Hopefully it’ll snow fairly soon so we can make some money plowing/shoveling neighbors driveways.

All of our bills are caught up (besides the usual debts, my fathers hospital bills, etc). So we’re not in danger of having stuff shut off, or being kicked out of our house. Our credit is already crap, and I don’t plan to buy anything unless I have the amount in cash, so quite frankly, credit can bite me.

“Ex #1″ will get paid two fridays from now, to which I’ll be using the majority of for my fathers prescriptions.

Sometimes I second guess myself on my decision to not go to that second interview for the part-time receptionist. But I am very positive about getting my full-time job back at the Vet. And everyone that works there is very positive about it too. And a full-time job is what I need. I just wish they would hurry up and do what they have to do so they can hire me. I don’t know how much longer I can wait.

This wait is so agonizing. Not just mentally, but I have no gas money, I can’t go anywhere, I can’t buy food, I pay bills with the money “Ex #1″ gives me. It’s definitely testing my faith and patience. But I’ve been through far worse times and I guess I was due to go through something again. I’m just hanging on by a thread.

Wanted to drive to my Aunts this weekend to get my taxes done, so I could use the majority of my tax return on my fathers debt (and save what I can for regular bills). But unless “Ex #1″ gives me the money for gas, I won’t be able to. He wants to get his done too, so he has to go with me.

Job. Job. Job.

I thought about putting a paypal button on my site again, but it’s never used, and I feel silly doing it anyway. Some people put one up saying they need it so desperately then they just blow it all. So I’d be wary too.

*sigh* Sati is really pissed at me. I really don’t know what she expects me to do. I tried to organize something nice for her birthday, the two people I was planning it with didn’t go, no one else told me they were in, so I didn’t go. But now I’m the bad guy because someone brought a cake. I didn’t know anyone was bringing a cake, -no one- told me anything!

It’s like she’s completely overlooking the fact that I even planned a birthday party for her.

I have a confession to make……..

I…..use Windows ME. *cry*

I have some computer nerd friends that are sending me WinXP, Win98, and Win2k though. I <3 computer nerds.

Trying to get ask and guestbook section to work. But nooo, they aren’t yet.

Just testing this Livejournal cross post thing to see if my MT journal entries are also posted in my livejournal.
