The "What Are You Doing This Moment" Thread

I get paid bi-monthly at like $500. After paying my other bills, I was down to like $30 after paying off my first month's rent. Fortunately, the security deposit came back from my old apartment, so now I have $300 stowed in my account to finish off paying my bills, and then I get the rest of my student loan to kick back in. Then I'm going to be throwing it all away at strip clubs.

so
you get $500 every 2 weeks
where as i only get $700 for the whole month
you paid less than $500 for an entire month's rent
plus another $500 ontop of that
plus $300
plus "the rest of your student loan"

wow
if i could have that much money with rent that low
i'd be stockpiling it instead of "blowing it all on strip clubs"
 
I'm not too worried, the low balance is because I squirreled away a bunch into my savings/vacation/Roth IRA accounts. So I technically have it, I just won't have access to it until tomorrow...
 
Got an interview with the film program I'm starting. Finally, something to look forward to... I just hope that I can afford it...
 
Gave notice at my bookstore job today. Really glad to be moving on from that job. It was way too slow and easy there. Just really understimulating. There was little real work to do there so I ended up spending most of the day fucking around on my phone.
 
Like a page about kitties you say Krig? Why, of fucking course I will do damnit. <3 your cats!!!!

Anyways, I'm drinking 3 beers at once in my 36oz Hobbit souvenir cup and blasting racist tunes (Arghoslent, Graveland, etc)
 
I woke up. Spent at least last 24 hours in the bed. Coffee, Grifteskymfning, then I will have to study tropical plants.

What's it like working at a bookstore, Crimson? I've considered getting a job at a place like that (as an English major, that's what your degree gets you, right?) but I'm not completely sure yet. At this point I'm probably gonna be working at this toy store and freelance with my film/photography.

As for me, big day today. Film school interview. Real nervous. Drinking coffee and it's not even 5 am yet. Think Slayer is a good way to start off the day...

Slayer is a good way to start a day, marriage, funeral, just about anything.

I've worked at two bookstores. The first was more of a traditional independent bookstore and it was awesome. Great coworkers, greater customers and just a really fun atmosphere to work in. It was a great post-college job because I didn't really know what I wanted to do for a career and since it's not the kind of job that comes home with you it allowed me to do a lot of intellectual exploration on my own. So I'd say it's a great "just for now" job for someone who doesn't need a lot of money to be happy and who has something intellectual or artistic they're working on on the side.

The second one was after I got my masters degree and was unable to get a job in education. It's a historical building and is more like a tourist shop. Business is slow and the overall structure is a little more corporate. It's not a bad job by any means, but it's very low action, which just isn't for me. I prefer jobs where I'm constantly going.

Toy store should be fun. Nothing's quite like seeing how pumped up kids get about toys. Cleaning the place is gonna be a bitch though.

That was why I didn't go any further with getting my English degree (masters'). Was so afraid I wouldn't end up with an actual job (well, that and the fact that I could never get into/afford grad school, but...) That job actually sounds like it would be pretty fun to me, but hopefully you have something better lined up. Best of luck.

And yeah, I haven't gotten it yet, but these people hire ANYONE, and my friend has worked there for six years and is practically the manager. Everyone talks about how it's such a terrible place to work, but I figure it will be relatively temporary. Anything to pay the bills, right?

And I have to be at that interview in less than 40 minutes. Gahhh. My mom's still in the shower. Why can't I be on her car insurance...
