The Longest Week

Wow, what a week... I've felt a day off all week long. Monday felt like Tuesday, Friday felt like Saturday... mentally I feel like Samhain (or Halloween for you strange folk :P ) should be next week already.

So I suppose a quick update is in order. I didn't get the full-time position at the radio station. In fact, nobody got it. My boss got a call from corporate (in Conneticut) that they were cancelling the full-time opening in light of the economic crisis. But the hours still need to get filled; but you can't work any of your part-time employees more than 30 hours a week. Yep, it's a corporate clusterf*%#. The only good news was that I was able to get a small raise out of it. I'm now up to $7.00/hour, which is roughly a 7% pay increase. Not bad, but realistically not much since the state minimum wage will increase to $7.25 or $7.50 in the summer of 2009. But that's a future worry and now a present concern.

As a direct result of not getting the full-time position at the station, I am once again looking for a second job. In a city that strangely enough is unusually difficult to find a job considering its size. Best of luck to me, I suppose. At least on the plus side I won't be working two jobs and dealing with classes at the same time.

My relationship status remains in the weird state of limbo that it's been in all summer. Hopefully that will change sometime in the near future.

The apartment is more or less all settled in, aside from a few odds and ends that will get taken to storage sometime before the real cold weather hits. This also means that I'm always looking for things to do in my free time. I'm hoping for D&D 1-2 times a week because that's a great release for me. One other thing I'm considering is starting up a more official movie review website. I'm still working out design details in my head. Realistically, this is a project I'd like to sit down and go over with two of my friends who are also keen on films. Once I get a better idea for how this will get set up I'll post more about it here.
