After talking with a dear dear friend tonight, I have decided to return to the blogging world.
"Why?" you ask.
Well, friend(s), it's simple, really. I'm about to start a new chapter in my life, and I want to document it.
"What chapter is that?" you ask.
Well, friend(s), I GOT A REAL JOB!
And I'm excited about it.
As of Friday, I accepted the position of "layout specialist" for the advertising department of the Opelika-Auburn News. I'll be making dummy pages (FOR THE ENTIRE PAPER), double-checking color processes with the press, and double-checking insertion orders. Plus a bunch of other stuff! It's a significant pay raise, better hours (Monday-Friday, 8am-5pm), paid vacation, benefits, and best of all, I'll be using my degree.
Actually, that is second best of all.
Best of all, I AM QUITTING WALMART IN 11 DAYS. My hatred of WalMart is a whole blog entry in and of itself. So I'll save that for another time. But suffice to say, I'm really really really really really really really happy that I got this job.
Lots of other stuff is happening in my life. Exciting things, tragic things, things that take time to work out. I'll spare you the middle school diary details, but I'm moving forward a little each day. But I still struggle.
In other news, football season is right around the corner. I mean, like 20 days. And I'll have that day off due to the amazing work schedule of the aforementioned NEW JOB. So if I can find some student tickets for the boy and myself, we'll be right there in our orange and blue, screaming "War Eagle!" and loving our Tigers.
Yes, student tickets. We're young, and the student section is more fun. Real people seats are for people 30 and over who like to sit down. Not there yet.
My plan is to do a "Last few months of Peggy's life that she hasn't blogged about: In pictures" post eventually. Not tonight. I have work at 7 am and need to sleep. But it's coming.
Regular blogging is coming. I promise. For real. Furreal, furreal.
Congrats on the new job!
