Anybody miss me? n__n;;
Oct. 22nd, 2006 10:09 pmWow... it's been a while since my last post. A lot of nothing has happened inbetween... I'm still at Best Buy, though I've now switched from Computers sales rep to Inventory specialist in charge of all receiving. I like it-- a lot more deskwork, with a healthy dose of heavy lifting to balance out the increased chair-time. I no longer leave work exhausted and frazzled, but I'm definitely getting some nice toning. Add to that a fixed M-F 9-5 schedule and a raise, and I'm set!
Still on the lookout for a more permanent job, though. I've been scanning a lot of the government hiring sites and keeping my eyes open. The good thing about this area is there are a lot of biology jobs. The bad thing is they're all very high-level... I've only seen one or two openings as low as GS-7/9, and that would be a stretch for me. I'm hoping to get into a good internship (*crosses her fingers for the EPA*) when Spring rolls around... but given how I'm dealing with BB, I may just end up taking a secretary-type job at one of the branches just to get my foot in the door.
In other, more exciting news,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
nalroth has decided to completely forego renting in favor for looking at a house to buy... So, my nesting instincts are in full swing. safetypup's place is getting somewhat crowded, so we've got a hopeful deadline of 'January' to be in a place of our own. We've been having a bit of trouble getting our hands on a good realtor-- but we've got a name and nalroth will probably get the ball rolling tomorrow.
Mmm... lessee... Oh!nalroth and I have settled into a nice pattern of social activities... Every Monday we have Heroes night at syntart and wbennetti's place (which is absolutely loverly!).. Now that is an amazing show, and is worth a post of it's own later on. Every other Tuesday is our D&D game with jakethrash... I'm slowly picking things up there. We also have tons of fun events scattered throughout the week, be it Happy Hour at Tavern on the Lake, or games at random houses-- plus, with this group of friends, there's always a party or two planned. ;) It's a very new experience for me, and I enjoy it greatly. So many awesome people, so many things to do that I'm actually interested in. Very, very cool.
Oh! And after weeks of contemplation and urgings from many different groups of friends, I finally took the leap and got a trial version of World of Warcraft... It's safe to say it now owns my soul. ;) But more on that later as well. Off to bed for me, since I must again rise before the sun tomorrow! Hi Ho!
