Well, I got some good news today. Not a job yet, but at least a little extra funds coming my way. According to the kind folks at Todays, I’d just recently passed the 1,300 hours worked marked — which means I’m eligible for a full weeks worth of vacation pay. They told me that as soon as it gets approved in the system they’ll be able to cut me a check, so I’ll have another extra $400 to help me through this downtime.
I’ve also been talking with Melvin about helping out around the apartment building, as we’d discussed before I moved in. He’s in the midst of getting a fairly large amount of work ready to get started, and so it looks like I’ll be spending much of next weekend ripping up carpets, stripping old paint off of walls, and general odds and ends — to the tune of about another $300-$400, depending on how long things take. Not a bad deal…I’ve certainly got nothing against manual labor when necessary, and especially given my current situation.
Besides — I could use the excercise. Build up those muscles.
Get all buff.
