Whee! Have job! And this one, I think I might actually keep! It's a part-time seasonal job at the Discovery Channel Store. Yeah, okay, not exactly a major career move, but I'm running short on cash, this seems like it will be fun, and the thirty percent discount may prove most helpful in Christmas shopping this year. (Dammit, I have got to start getting organized for that. Time to make my yearly list of people to buy for and jot down ideas. I wish I only had to buy for the people for whom I instantly have three or four or eighteen awesome ideas. I hate trying to guess for half my list.)

So - yay!

In other news - I got nothin'. I have settled into a routine that involves plenty of trips to the library and Videoport, and I've been spending the last few weeks plowing through Videoport's (incomplete) collection of Red Dwarf. Which is one of those shows that I've been hearing about and told I should watch for years, and I did actually see a couple eps a few years ago, but I just took me forever to get around to it. Which is kind of a shame, because I've been enjoying myself immensely, and also kind of not, as it's been the perfect diversion to keep me from going crazy with boredom, anxiety over my finances, and (while I'm being honest) this weird lump that surfaced under my arm a few days ago. (What? I shower regularly and everything. Shut up.)

So, yay to having a job, because being unemployed for too long can seriously get on your nerves. Now I'm going to have something scheduled to do, I'm going to make some cash doing it, and I probably won't have as much time to spend quite as much money at Videoport as I've been doing. So I'm happy.

CONGRATULAAAAAAAATIONS! Whee-ha, sister! I see your near future piling up into columns of fulfilment. I should write fortune cookies. Totally well done in the employment battlefield. And think of it, you're in a close enough proximity to Hot Topic that you can observe the microcosm of self-deluding pretension that will inevitably overtake its employees.... mmmyes. Ha.

...HOORAY!!! And see someone about that arm, chuck. It could be an incubating alien life-form.

A lump under the arm? That sounds familiar... like a lymph node infection or something. There are various causes, so... yeah, get it checked.

Congratulations on the job!

Well done on getting a job! Last I'd heard you were really hoping you got that one, so yay you.

Do you mean under your arm as in like your armpit? Get that looked at right away. You're probably more than qualified for comp care at Maine Med (meaning THEY pay for it because you're too low income, and that number is surprisingly high for one person...) You don't want that extra thing to worry about.

Bummer about the Yanks winning. Those rat bastards. Ah well.

Glad you finally have a paying job, since that was your numero uno priority. Now maybe you can get that laptop so we all can speak to each other more frequently... And as for the lump, get it checked out. Most of the time they're harmless, but if something was wrong, I'd want you to get it taken care of because you're my evil twin and I love ya. Speaking of evil twinness, I'm re-reading that book you got me for my birthday. I'd say you will never have a problem picking a gift for me if they involve pages of information on mythology or demonology.
