Quick update

Today I’m waiting (fingers crossed and all) for a call back on a new job. It’s still part-time, but with better hours, no back-breaking (literally) lifting, and it’s a manager training position (they call it 3rd Key/Super Associate). So yeah, waiting to see if I get this job sucks, naturally, but I think this would be perfect for me. I have the Bachelor’s Degree in Business, and I have experience (my last year and a half was basically geared towards starting and running businesses), I just don’t have retail experience, which for some unknown reason people feel is necessary..

Anyway, the great thing about possibly getting this job, aside from the management training, is I could very-well likely be home around 10PM at night instead of 12:15 in the morning 9shortly after midnight). It’ll be nice to still meet up with friends for a couple hours after work, and staying up until 4 or 5AM (like this morning) watching How I Met Your Mother…while fun, will thankfully be reigned in to 1-2AM

Speaking about staying up late watching How I Met Your Mother, great show. AMAZING show! Just as funny as Psych (January can’t come quick enough), but funny for completely different reasons. We finished up season 4 this morning at about 4 and watched the first episode of season 5, the current season. With the episodes only 22 minutes long (half hour airtime), we were able to fit A LOT more episodes in compared to the 43 minute long Psych (1 hour airtime). So somehow we breezed through the first 4 seasons of HIMYM in roughly a week and a half Yeah, awesome.

Last but not least, I’m sure everyone has heard about Modern Warfare 2 by now and it’s huge launch. I grabbed the Hardened Edition for the PS3 (ebay’d the CoD Classic code for about $17.50 after fees). $75 shipped (release day shipping) from Amazon.com, plus the $20 gift card promotion they were offering…so $75 – 20 = $55 – $17.50 = $37.50 shipped. Not bad for the Hardened Edition (steelbook case). Overall, fun game, a bit frustrating early on but if you get with a decent group of guys and gals, it can be fun. The invite system is a joke but hopefully that will be fixed soon. So glad I don’t have to play SOCOM: Confrontation anymore…speaking of which, if anyone wants my copy, $10 shipped.
