April 5th!

April 5th, 2007 at 07:31 pm

I know it has been awhile since I last wrote. Work and classes have been a little crazy recently. While I might not get to post as much as I would like, I at least read the journals every day on my lunch.

Spending this month so far:

Monday:
8 Parking
45 groceries for the week @ Safeway

Tuesday
8 parking
4.97 Italian bread and rose plant @ TJ’s

Wednesday
8 parking
9.10 for lunch out with co worker and his wife

Thursday
8 parking and not expecting anything else.

Staying with in budget!!

The job scope has gone to HR to review and ask sister agency if we can borrow the classification. I am hoping that it will work out before the list expires in July. That leaves me with 11 weeks or so. I would like to stay a contractor until my contract ends then start the new job this fall. It might take that long for the personnel dept to get me hired on. It is scary because I like the benefits of being a contractor better but I just can't do anything long term financially with this position.

I am on spring break for school but still have to work my full 40 hours. I am ready for summer to be here so that I can not have to go to school. I think I need a break for a while.

I have not done much other than work this week because I am trying to straighten and organize my room. It is not an easy task as I have lots of crap I am trying to sort through and toss.

I am making some progress but not as much as I was hoping. I am going to do laundry tonight so that I can have some fun this weekend and not have to worry about that task, other than sheets and towels on Saturday morning.

    good luck on straightening and organizing you room. I find that just having a friend over to talk to you ( and make trips to the dumpster) makes me more motivated than if I were to do it alone.

    One thing that helps me is to follow the rule If you touch it do something with it other than setting it in another pile. Pitch it, Put it away, file it. IF i don't do that I just find that I have rearranged my piles and have accomplished nothing.

    My fiend makes me through out more than I would by myself. She has purge sat with me more than once and at the time I would get mad at here insistance that i throw something out, not once have I needed something that was pitched.
