labs round 2

I don't remember if I mentioned this, but I am finally no longer unemployed. I have two jobs.

for one, I am a personal care associate doing home care for the elderly through Country Meadows Retirement Communities. I wrap up a lengthy round of vaccinations, TB tests, and training tomorrow with my last floor training day. it's really quite an interesting job :)

for two, I'm working in the Pitt campus computer labs ... yeah, I know - again. but it pays (though not well at all) and any money I can make in the additional hours I have will help. I get paid much better doing home care, so I'll only fill in other times of the day with lab hours when it's convenient. i.e. I won't be jumping through hoops to fill shifts in the labs, only pick them up when it works, and keep my permanent weekly shifts pretty low, maybe 8 to 10 hours a week.

so, here I sit, in the computer labs, alphabetizing print jobs.
it's a good thing I like paper :)

which was even more hilarious and awesome :)

so this one time, a couple of days ago, I had a horrible 80s hit stuck in my head (that got put there while we were buying drinks at smith's) so andy sang bits of the shins songs to me while we drove back to the flsr and holy crap I had forgotten how much I freaking LOVE the shins and now I can't stop listening to them again :)

saint simon is my favorite:


mariposa! that's me!
