work, school, life
It's been a long, but good week. I'm officially cleared for graduation!! My portfolio review went really well. I actually got a hug Bill, one of my professors. I think his exact words were, "I'm a proud Papa." lol. He's a good guy that tried to act hardcore all the time, but really he's a big softy. I think most people in his classes are intimidated by him, but he reminds me of my father.
So since Thursday, I've been officially graduated from college. Yeah, I need to show up Tuesday and give Bill some printouts, and Sean some papers. And I need to pay my final bill, and do the portfolio show on Thursday, but that stuff is all easy. I'm done. I'm done. I'M DONE! I finally don't have no reason to e in that god awful place anymore. I can get my life back. I can do stuff that I want to do. i don't have to worry about doing projects anymore. It's exciting.
I still haven't really celebrated my graduation because I've been pretty busy. Corrie wants to go out to a check out a new bar on Wednesday and I told her I would go since I don't have to be up early the next morning. Apparently all the bartenders from the place we used to go to that decided to charge $10 every night to get in (for nothing I should add) all work there. I'll probably have a couple drinks, but nothing too crazy. I'm kind of over the drinking until I pass out stage of my life.
We had our work Christmas party last night. it was supposed to be at a ranch with a cookout, hayrides, and smores, but at the last minute (literally 3 hours before we all were supposed to be there) Angie (company owners wife) checked her email to find out the place cancelled. So frantically she decided to go out and buy a bunch of food and cook up some stuff so they could have it at the house. She pulled off a nice party for last minute I must say. Filet mignon, stone crab legs, and lots of side dishes. I just felt bad that she had to cook everything. I brought pie and cookies for desert, but that wasn't nearly the trouble that she went through. It was a good time though, and I got a Christmas bonus! And my boss said he wants to meet with me sometime during the week to discuss my full time status since I'm graduated. It's nice to know in this bad economic state that I have employment and people that actually appreciate me and want to keep me around.
Work over the weekend wasn't too bad. I had a few annoying customers yesterday...one lady I particually wanted to bunch in the jaw, but the season is coming to a schreeching halt. We were pretty slow yesterday and today was full of reschedules and cancellations. Corrie said that after next weekend she probably wouldn't need me, which was expected. She keeps trying to get me to go full time and I politely decline. I only really like working there duting the season, especially now when i don't really give a crap about numbers because I'm ONLY seasonal. The rest of the year sucks. And I have a great job doing what I really want. So no thanks Corrie.
I think it's time for dinner.
