It's a Johnny Cash kind of day

First, let it be known that I am very happy that I'm not working at the store right now. I changed shifts with someone who was able to cover my 12-5 and I took their on-call. I wasn't needed and kind of figured I wouldn't be, but I still wore all black in case I needed to fly to Sterling Heights from downtown. As when I was on the phone with Dee, she rearranged my whole schedule and so now I open tomorrow. That's cool. At least I'll have my afternoon free to get some of these mounting errands done.

I also missed my entrance to 94 when I was talking to Dee this afternoon and got on 75 instead. While I was swearing profusely in my head, I got off at the Boulevard. I stayed on the service drive. After the Davison, this actually becomes Dequindre (though it might be around the area of Hamtramck). Anywho, before I knew it I was at 8 Mile and took that across to Gratiot. It's been a while since I've been on 8 Mile, at least a year, seeing as this was my route to and from school for a couple years. I enjoyed the detour and how things have developed in the past year or so since I've been on the sections of those roads I was on today.

I was in the office all day. Had two hours of meetings, which kind of sucked in many ways. Then I worked on the concierge folder (three ring binder with information about the museum and Cultural Center) for the front desk, Dossin, and myself. I have a desk now, albeit a xerox paper box until June 24th when there is an empty cubicle to be mine, but I'll take it. I went out to lunch with a couple ladies; I thought it would be good to get acquainted with other office staff. Even though I'm there only one day with them, I don't want it to seem as though I am ignoring them or whatever.

I haven't had an office job in five years, I think one day a week of that setting is fine enough for me. If they want to increase my hours, I won't deny them that, but I'm not sure I can stand just being in a cubicle all day. I'll be getting one with a window, I'll have the tiling styles on the Main Library studied and identified in no time flat. haha.

I think I'm off in search of something cool to drink. Other updates: My brother gave me House to watch. Btw, I hung out at his apt. for the first time yesterday since before Christmas. His baby kitty, though not so baby anymore, is kind of cute. It wouldn't be my first choice though. I got my first paystub (they automatically direct deposit) from the DHS today. I read one whole chapter in my Templar book yesterday. I have a headache from the heat. When I come home after a long day of work, I just really want to be left alone for a while to unwind. I almost forgot that; it was the same with school. I need my own place to live very, very badly. I also need a new car and a lottery jackpot in my possession. I'll take donations. :) That's all for now. Byebye.
