Hey, Hey, I Saved The World Today ...

December 3, 2008 - 21:49

I am having such a fantastic week!!

I had been looking forward to transferring to a new location and getting better tips, but I've landed something better! And I did it by ACCIDENT!

On Monday morning, I took my truck into the dealership to get the brakes checked. they'd been very soft and scary for a long time now ... turns out they were pretty bad off. Anyway, Jade, my dashing hero, offered to cover the cost of the brakes for me. ('Cause they quoted me $1000, and I just didn't have it.) While we were waiting for him to call my cell at the dealership, the cashier and I were talking and she mentioned that they were short-handed, and one thing led to another and I was racing home to update my resume to fax in.

Another adventure there, the drugstore lady was borderline incompetent with the fax m/c. I gave up on her and started to take my resume to the 7-11 down the street, because I've seen them sometimes do faxes. I noticed that the bank was still open so I went in, waited and asked politely if they would make a local fax for me. I was thrilled that they did, and they didn't ask for payment either. Even better!

Next morning, I was awakened by my cell ... and answered it only half aware. A voice in my ear asked me to come in for an interview. I was hired that afternoon. That was yesterday ... today was my first day at work!! It was great!

I love having stable hours (resulting in stable paycheques) and a decidedly better rate of pay than I've had in a while. It made me giddy with pleasure to put "gift giving" back on my To Do list for this month. Jade, my Prince, is going to get something that I've been trying to afford for a long time. He deserves it!

It's a shame that I don't see him as often as I'd like right now, but we are doing fine. More than fine. I think this has been good for us, in the long run. Harsh, but necessary. I wish things could have been different ... but I can't argue with the results.

Greenman suggested that we consider counselling ... and I thought of it ... but I don't think we're quite at that level of need quite yet. It only seems like it when he's been away from me for a bit. I don't do well when I'm away form him. My need for Barq's is Nothing compared to the withdrawal I go through when I am deprived of Jade for a time. I think we have some time before we really need it.

Now if only we could get his parents out of the house!

Well, I have to get to bed ... this early rising thing kinda sucks, but I guess a sacrifice was required for all the good luck I saw this week.

Are you watching, Santa? I've been a good girl!

Ruler of my heart
Robber of my soul
Where can you be?
I wait patiently

My heart cries out
Pain inside
Where can you be?
I wait patiently

When you're alone
Going gets rough
Come back, come back, come back baby
I've had enough

Make me a queen
Happy again
Hear my cry
And ease my pain

When you're alone
Going gets rough
Come back, come back, come back baby
I've had enough

Make me a queen
Happy again
Hear me cry
And ease my pain

(bonus points if you name the movie this is from!!)

Sweet Dreams!
