Good News from Afar

How's it going People??? Well, today was a very successful day. Officially Day #2 of my vacation and I am spending it in Tampa to start. After going out yesterday looking around and doing my thing in Tampa, today seemed to be paydirt. I seemed to have landed a job with DCF (Fl. Dept of Children and Families) working in the call center for the welfare office. Its through the staffing company Manpower. I officially start training (6 weeks in a classroom setting) on January 8th. The pay is very nice considering that I only make $9 an hour in Daytona, I will be making $12.51 an hour. And after 3-4 months the odds are very good that I can be hired on permanently with the state. So, it works out great, that the Princess and I will be working the same shift and the same place. We checked out this nice 2br 1.5ba apartment that is literally about 3/4 mile away from where we work. The apartment was very nice and it has the most important appliance that I care about, and that would be the DISHWASHER. So pretty much you can say im ecstatic that I have pretty much accomplished my goals while here in Tampa in 2 days. The Princess and I will just have to secure an apartment within the next month or so. That shouldnt be very hard at all. I talked to my Mom tonite and I'm still very excited about flying home on Sunday. I already know my vacation is going to fly by faster than I can blink my eyes, but it will be great, there's no doubt. Mom said that the weather had been nice up in NC this week. But, go figure, I'm coming home for a visit and there's a storm a brewing and it will probably be very cold up there. Where as I am used to the nice warm weather year round down here in FL, I'm gonna go up there and freeze my bootie off. If it gets in the 40's thats too cold for me. Time will tell. I'm not sure what is on my agenda for tomorrow, other than I may be getting a pedicure (yes, me). LOL. Lisa tells me they are great, but with as ticklish as I am, I'm sure it might be humorous. Well, its going on 1240am and I am going to stretch out on the couch and chill for a while. Til the next time the blog gets an update, PEACE OUT!!
