So the loan came through and the car is insured, which makes me feel much better, though not as much better as I'll feel when I actually have the card and the policy in my hot little hands.

So I got another job and I gave my notice at work and the big boss gave me a counter-offer and I said no dice because what I'm ultimately planning to do is be self-employed and contract work for this company out of Wabash County is as good a start as any I will ever know. And if it tanks, well, I'm young and don't have that many obligations and it's not irreparable. And my last day will be my birthday, which is appropriate.

So I'm going to this wedding in Indy on Sunday and if anybody wants to hang out it would be good if they said something now so we can make plans. (Sorry, A! I will RSVP properly when I check my e-mail.)

So. Not much to say here. How is everyone else?

WOOHOO! On the new job, I mean! And on the loan! But mostly on giving your notice at the job you so clearly hated, and on getting a different job that won't be as irritating (understatement of the year, yes)! **does a sock-footed dance around the desk chair**

I was gonna say, "Go, you, for sticking it to the Man!" but that seemed really...out of character for me. I refrained, except for this mention.

Squeeee! **hugs**

*stifles a giggle at the sight of her ukelette doing a sock-footed desk-chair dance* I didn't hate the job that much, fluffkin--it was nothing like Wal-Mart or CMC. I just felt very taken for granted and very dissatisfied, so hopefully being an independent (which in the long run is what I'm wanting to do) will be a step in the right direction.

And I'm very proud of your restraint, dearest. ^_-

*snuggles you*

Oi, leave the desk-chair dance alone! It's what all the cool kids are doing now, weren't you aware?

When you feel taken for granted and dissatisfied, that's feeling like an underprivileged and abused worker, and that's hate! (My semi-syllogisms don't make sense, but at the moment, I'm a little bit worn out and I don't care much.) Anyway, regardless of diction in my comment, I'm still delighted to hear about the new job! ^___^

**nyaos, hugs you tightly**

You, like teh m0mmy, are adorkable. No, that was not a typo.

As am I, although it's scary, as there's a lot that wasn't an issue before and has now become one. ^^6 Still, I'll manage. I have no choice: I want to do this, because my father never had the balls, and I want to do it well and be successful at it, and I want to rub it in his face if we ever see each other again.

Hurrah on the new job count :) I had a feeling that might have been what you were talking about in the other entry. Here's hoping this one is better for the work/life balance.

You understand l33sp33k way too well. *g*

I will fundamentally be working out of my home, which is glorious and terrifying at once, so hopefully it will be a little better. If nothing else, I'll be doing it for myself and not for someone else who isn't paying me enough.

Well, I have known you for quite a while now. I'm impressed you're still alive, given that ;)

Working out of home will be teh c00l. You'll just have to make sure you forbid yourself from faffing about on the internet instead of working, though *g*

What, do people usually die after having known you a couple-three years? Is there something you're not telling me? ;)

Of course, like most abstractors, I'll still be doing courthouse work. The difference is that the boss will be in Wabash (up near Fort Wayne) and so I'll have a lot more freedom, and plus some of the admin-side stuff is stuff I can do from the house. :D

I have THE PLAGUE!!!!

But the courthouse work will be so much more doable when you know that you get to go back to your house afterwards instead of an office :)

Catching up slowly on all the posts I missed while on the Texas Roadtrip of Doom (tm) and just had to say "Congratulations" all around. New car, new job, both sound excellent and I hope you have a wonderful time with both.

Ahhh, Texas. Fooooooond memowies. XD Did you see Mexico's northernmost city San Antonio?

I'm excited. I did learn about one of the new car's features the hard way, but no harm done, so all's well that ends well.

HOSHIT SELF-EMPLOYMENT AAAAAAAAAHHHHHH. Okay, it's out of my system now. ^_-
