A PSA to be nice to the census enumerators walking the streets starting this week. I'm one of them!!

Haven't posted in a while but maybe it'll stick this time. It was a combination of a boring life hence nothing to post about, and, well, that's mainly it. Working to change all that so we'll see.

So yes I took a part time job with the census in addition to my hellish full time job...$13.50/hr + 50cents/mile for any mileage incurred is a pretty good deal. Plus I'm assigned my immediate neighborhood which is pretty cool.

I also have a second interview coming up for what would amount to a third job but isn't really a job in my eyes...more on that to come.

This past week was our census training. First two days boring sitting in a room having a booklet read to us type crap but the last two days we got in teams and started practicing our enumerating! Plus we did like 9-4 every day. How nice is it to not be doing 7-5, then 1-10 the next day then 7-6 then 1-10 etc etc....I actually was getting into a sort of routine, felt better, was happier and not all stressed out about my store. Well that's over, back to the real job at 1:00 today...shoot me.

Anyway this made me realize I don't only need to get away from my current employer but out of retail altogether. I need to find a job with normal people hours but can't afford a pay cut either. Crossing my fingers.

PSA - Prostate Specific Antigen?

Good luck with the job hunt! Hope you get a less stressful one out of retail!! \m/

A Year...
Category: gym

So it's been a year since James' Allentown Athletix push as I got a postcard saying my membership expires the 15th. Thanks James, I actually got really into working out for the first time ever but eventually stopped going....it's too far from me to be practical, so I won't be renewing my membership. Maybe Fitness 360 on this end of Delaware since it's soooo close, or maybe I'll research one of the places on Hertel.

American Live Action Death Note
Category: movies

So WB acquired the rights and is going to release apparently new, American-made movies here. Interesting.

Thanks for the info. I'm sure they are a way off but if and when they ever get made it will be interesting to see how it comes out.

snowflakes
Category: city

As I drove down Hertel today I present a simple question: Can we take down the snowflakes off the light poles already!?!?

yeah but it's not Winter....

True, its even snowed on mother's day.

metalpeter - 04/24/09 19:03
Um No It still Could Snow, the Flakes stay up till May 1, as the New Spokesman for Hertel that is what I declare, HA. I'm guessing with it now trying to be Little Italy that someone forgot to take them down. I think I saw an Irish Flag still up on Delaware like around a week ago and wonder if there are still any up still from the Parade.

That is so crazy that they are still there. Do they have something like the elmwood village association for hertel. I would call them.
