I think I was told that I haven't updated in a long ass time, so here goes...

Looks like I am officially being promoted at work. I talked to my boss today and he is putting me and another team member on “Temporary Team Lead” status, so we will begin training and doing the job, w/the pay increase, but we won’t have to do interviews until February. He is going to try to put me in the Domestics/Luggage departments, which would include, curtains, sheets, towels and all that jazz. I’m looking forward to it, but I am nervous at the same time. I’m nervous about the job itself and also being in a supervisor position and how people might look at me differently. I’ve been pretty neutral with everyone, so hopefully it won’t be an issue. I think I’ll be starting in about 2 weeks. I think more than anything, I’m looking forward to the extra money I’ll be getting. Going to try to pay down my credit cards and start saving some money. I would love nothing more than to be able to stand a little stronger on my feet. I just hope I don't regret staying in retail for another Christmas season.

In other news...

I now have a new air mattress. It is lovely...it has a velvety top, so my sheets don't slide off and better yet, it stays aired up. It is quite comfy...gotta love Coleman.

This morning I woke up with a feeling in my chest...the feeling that lets you know that you are about to get sick. I've had this feeling before w/o really getting sick, so I hope that's what happens this time. Though, a lot of people have been sick at work, so who knows. Ickers.

Now, is it just me, or does it freak anyone else out that Bush is president when new people need to be appointed...like the Supreme Court? His decisions will affect us for the rest of our lives...am I the only one who's scared? He should not be allowed to make anymore decisions...I mean, look where we are. So sad.

Now for sports...

Yay for the Raiders finally winning their 2nd game of the season...

Boo to Gordon who won the NASCAR race...kinda glad I didn't see it now...

The White Sox have won 2 games...my roommate is going for them, but I am having a hard time rooting for them...the first two games have been good, though.

On to weather...

It is cool, cloudy and gloomy here in the OC and I love it...I'll take clouds over the sun any day. Wonder what that says about me??

Let's look ahead to upcoming events...

Sir Paul in a little over 2 weeks...yeah buddy.
