Lunch Break

So far today has been great, I'm sitting alone in a little mini-conference room, listening to streaming 96.5 Classic Rock while finishing a lunch from Applebee's that Lisa paid for. Granted she completely forgot to order me anything and had to call them back to update the order, but I can't complain. All I'm doing today is what we call QA, which is basically checking the information on the intraweb against the handwritten and then faxed originals. It's tedious, and boring, and makes me sleepy, but now that I actually allow myself to take breaks and listen to music it's not so bad. At least this job is getting me SOME useful experience... I could switch to a data entry position after this pretty easily...

Poor Stormy is locked in my bathroom at home... she's been spending every day this week in there because there are supposed to be workers entering the apartment to fix up the interior a little... They were supposed to be working Monday and Tuesday and that's it, but I still haven't seen any sign of their entering the place... I feel really bad about leaving Stormy locked up in there all the time, I wish these workers would just get their butt moving and get it done with :(

I got my first paycheck today! $408 for 39 hours. It's not too bad... it sounds small to me because I'm used to being paid bi-weekly, but here I get paid every week, which is really very nice. When I get home I'll have to re-do my budget calculations, because both the pay and the hours are gonna be lower than I was hoping for when I last ran through them.

Well, I'm done with my Chicken and Broccoli Alfredo, so I guess I'll get back to QA!
