Overtime

I've been worked pretty hard this week, but I still like it. I will be looking forward to my first real paycheck this coming week, but I'm still a little unsettled. I don't know how long the company plans on keeping me as a contracted employee. I would much rather be hired up full time (duh), and I've heard whispers from some of the supervisors that I'm seriously being considered. The problem lies not in the fact that I'm impatient, I mean, that has something to do with it, but the problem is that I'm completely out in the open. I have no financial protection and I have no certainties on living situations. If I get the job, great, but if not I'll still be leaving Nashville and I'm going to end up screwing over my roommates because of it. I don't want that to happen, but at this point, I have no choice. I can't stay in this half way point for to much longer...

But life has been steady other than that. I'm really working hard at meeting new people, getting more involved in church small groups. I've started by varying up my afternoons. I don't just come home and watch TV anymore. I go out. The other night, Viking and I went bike riding at the golf course. It was beautiful. There were lightning bugs everywhere and in the moonlight, the sprinklers looked like wings extending over the perfectly manicured grass. The air was cool and it was new. I understood at that moment that as long as I can recognize the beauty around me, I won't be bored for a moment. Last night, Burly, Cowboy, and I went out and hung out at a lounge. We talked about life and spent time together that wasn't in front of the TV. That was nice too. I even ran into a friend who I haven't seen in several years there.

As for today, well, I ended up going to work. They didn't call me in, I requested it. Again, I really like my job, and I'm trying hard to learn more about it. But after that I went over to help AP move into his new house. Let me tell you, that house is ridiculously nice. It's construction is probably 1950's but it has been well kept. With high ceilings and hard wood floors, I could say that I'm a bit envious.

So after all of that hard work, I'm seriously considering taking a nap. I think tonight I'm going to start going through some of my stuff to get rid of worthless crap that I'll probably never use. I really need to get my list of possessions down, like a diet, if you will. Anyways, I'll try to keep everyone updated on the happenings. Peace and love.
