I've had a very intense last few weeks. My last girlfriend got e. coli from eating spinach and nearly died. I lost my job at the OF because I was too distracted because she was in the hospital so I was making mistakes left and right. Now I'm wondering if I'll even go on the bike tour. I have an interview at Walgreens tomorrow for a Pharmacy Technician position and I have no idea whether I'll get the job, what time the shifts will be or whether it'll be part time or full time. The pay will be around $9/hour vs. the $12/hour I got for lunch shifts and $16/hour I was getting for brunches,
but with any luck I'll get a full time position so it'll even out. Also, with the training I'll get from this job, I can work at a nearby hospital and get $12.80/hour and over $14/hour if I work PRN (am on call). I'm thinking about getting a car in order to drive 6 miles to work every day at Walgreens and to visit my ex. Getting a car, however, will be expensive. First, there's getting the car, then there's gas, insurance and maintenance. Sounds like the $600 I needed extra for the bike tour would go into having a car. I could always take the bike tour in two summers from now instead of next summer. I still have the bike on layaway, but I may never be able to pay for it. I have about $800 in the bank right now, but that will most likely go toward paying for rent next month, as well as electricity, cable, student loan payment etc. I still have another paycheck to pick up from the OF which will probably be about $60 as well as maybe $50 in tips, and I have about $100 in cash on me right now. Hopefully I'll get the job at Walgreens and start making money so I can add the extra money to birthday money and get the bike ASAP. A lot of my plans will depend on whether or not I get the job at Walgreens and how often I plan on seeing my last girlfriend over the next year, which will be up to her. Now that I have all this time on my hands and I just got the Internet at home, I've been thinking about playing WoW again, which I know is a bad idea, but I can't resist it much longer. $15/month as well as eating up all my time is definitely a bad idea. I'll try to focus my time on writing these blogs as well as writing up my experience of what happened over the last few weeks, because it's been two of the craziest weeks of my life. Hopefully soon I'll figure everything out and get the bike and I can then start shopping around for equipment.
