Oh thank god Miss Lis is back! We were so worried!!

Still unpacking and settling in. Still deeply in love with apartment. As you can see in the picture, wee tiny princess is acclimating well. I still need to paint and hang stuff, but have to hold off on that until I am financially back on track which most likely wont be for another couple of weeks...have been thoroughly enjoying my kitchen and having room to cook and places to put everything. Still in that new apartment honeymoon phase where I do the dishes every day and take out the trash when it needs to go out rather than three days later...am hoping to maintain this but you know how these things go...also sleeping better and have broken my habit of falling asleep with the telly on.

Rock star temp agency gal got me into a new position that started this past wednesday. More money, a full 40 hours a week (other place I averaged 35-37.5).  I'm filling the position of some chick who just up and quit out of the blue, the company called my agency and said they needed someone with a thick skin who would be comfortable working with a bunch of guys who don't necessarily always mind their P's and Q's. J (rock star temp agent) said "I have the perfect candidate". I started the next day, three days in I really like it and I hope very much that they keep me. In other work news, later this week I start training at the night gig to meet my true calling - bartending. I don't have any shifts as yet but I'll get fill in shifts and possibly event stuff...if business picks up I may be able to score some weekend shifts which would be effing *sweet*.

All this means I won't be getting evicted next month, which is v. exciting.

Haven't done a whole lot else, not do I anticipate I will since I'm back to working the 55-65 hour week, which will be ongoing until someone officially hires me. I *did* run into ex-Matilda door hotness A on the train last week, the first day at the new gig as a matter of fact so I was dressed in my finest inoffensive school marm gear and was looking *hawt* let me tell you. Anyway, he made it known he goes to the old man bar near my house and suggested perhaps we might see each other there some time...I did a little recon through my channels and discovered he is no longer with girlfriend...good to know, since he's SO much more apropriate than my current crush, he who we shall simply call "My Hideously Inapropriate Crush"...Some light stalking may be on the docket for one of my upcoming nights off, Miss Jessica has agreed to be my co-pilot..and no, i shall not be spending my nights off in an old man bar, I know where he works, and conveniently, it's a bar.

Hopefully I'll get some picture taking done soon. Chatted last night with Calvin Marty who wants me to come shoot his next live show, so that's coming up in a week or so... DBR also have a show coming up at El Gato, which I want to go shoot (It's a birthday party for a dog, and there will be free BBQ and possibly some drag queens, seriously, how could I NOT go??..)

So that's what's been up with me. You may now go back to your respective days.

I want to go to a dog's birthday party.

[bridget]

If I recall correctly, I have been to two birthday parties for this dog and damn if he doesn't know how to rock the house and throw a hell of a party.

[miss lis]

Not just any dog but dog of legendary Vic alum Oz, if you ever heard the story about the guy in the ceiling in the bathroom, that's him. He makes a mean BBQ.

So this mean I should pack the paint brushes?

[Jess'ca]

I'm always up for some lite stalking, even to the old man bar.

I'd like to point out the YOU are the rock star in this story.
