A long time coming

I haven't posted in a long time and I have had a lot of time to think lately. In the last month I quit my job at Hancock's and got a new job at Beehive Clothing. I work in the temple department on temple clothing. (Go Figure) There I sticker bags for the clothing to go in to and tape guidelines for other people to sew. I was hired to bag things for $8/hr. It was less pay than I got at Hancock's but there aren't any weekends, holidays, or evenings required (except if it's overtime). The holidays are also paid. On my first day was informed I would also be doing the taping. Later that week I found out that the taping was a higher pay and they were gonna change it to that. $9.66/hr. Woo-hoo, now I even get paid more than at my other job! It is a very tiring job, you have to move fast. It is piece rate, so I get paid really for what I do. If I only do 90% of what it should take to do in a day I get 90% of my pay but when I get 110% I get 110% of my pay. The really amazing thing is I am already at and past 100% and it's only my 4th week. My boss told me today how happy she is that she hired me.


Anywho so I have 8 hours a day of mundane tasks and a lot of time to think. Here are some of the things that go through my head:

I can't believe my 10 year reunion is this year. I graduated 10 years ago and ever since that time I have wanted and looked forward to attending my 10 year reunion. Now guess who isn't attending her 10 year reunion? That's right me. I have decided there isn't money to travel to Arizona to go. I am being an adult about it. Though it is hard.

Well there have been others but when I sit down to write them I forget.
