My vacation has gotten off to a phenominal start.

Monday, day one, I had my interview for my second job and it went well. Very well, actually, because I got the job on a trial basis, meaning that as long as my references all check out and everything, I’ve got the job.

The best part of the interview was the part when they told me that they couldn’t offer me as much as I was making at the hospital, then went on to offer me $2 an hour more base pay and $3 an hour shift differential. Meaning that if I work a night shift, I’ll make $5 more an hour plus I’ll get free parking.

Sweet.

I start Monday at the office for orientation.

Yesterday, my mom, sister-in-law and I painted my apartment. It’s a light green color called Monet Moonrise or something. It was a good day all in all, but I fell asleep at 10 pm and woke up at noon today with sore arms and sides. But my place looks awesome, and it will look better once I get my pictures hung and my new dining room table in tonight.

I don’t have too many plans for the next week or so, but it seems like my schedule is full. Doctor tomorrow, out with some work friends tomorrow night. Friday I’m going out with a guy I used to work with at the old Shop n Save. Saturday there’s a free Clarks show in the Strip that I want to go to, and I also want to get at least 8 hours in at the new job doing orientation at the patient’s house. I’d like to do 2 shifts, but we’ll see I guess.

Things are going pretty well. I just have to keep ahead of myself so that I don’t get sad and lose my mind over then next week or so. And getting a second job and painting my place was a good start, I like I’ve been pretty productive.
