take this job, take this job, take this job and shove it...
so, sometimes i like my retail job and sometimes, i don't.
in some ways, i like it more now because i often have more somewhat open time to work on projects rather than just answering the phone or running the cash register, or whatnot. on the other hand, being in the position i'm in now lets me see a lot more of the bizzare stuff that's going on the in the company structure above me, and in our relationships with other companies that we pay to do stuff for us.
it's not that i'm an expert in business, clearly...i took all of one class in Weatherhead and it was about java programming...but i really wonder about the fact that my financial well-being is in the hands of these people...or my financial not-so-well-being, given that i have another job.
and now to happier things...
got to go to my first Indian's game yesterday after being offered a last minute ticket that day. I was in about the 21st row, just to the left of home plate. pretty sweet seats, and since i actually have a small clue about baseball, i could pretty much follow what was going on. weather was really nice, too.
i'm nowhere near finished unpacking my apartment. i've purchased all the necessary cleaning supplies, 'cept a vacuum (but am i really going to use it...), but haven't really made any strides in organizing. i think it's the lack of furniture that's holding me back. i have too much room to pile stuff. i did unpack all the kitchen-related boxes tonight, though. but that just means that i have a mound of stuff in the sink. i also found a cool use for a hanging storage thing i found at ikea...it's doing a pretty good job of holding ziplocks and kitchen towels and those crinkley grocery bags 'n stuff, since i don't have any drawers in the kitchen. after some measuring and hunting around, i hope to purchase some furniture thing with drawers that will also hold up the microwave, as opposed to having it sit on my only real counter space.
i have to have this cleaned up by the end of the month because my minister, his son, sister and nephew are coming into town to see the Indians vs. Yankees and crashing with me one night. yikes!
