My days as an angel/demon (depending on the situation) has ended. It was a long journey but that ship has sailed and now I've found myself aboard a new mode of transport. The benefit of this new vessel includes a 23.73% (est.) pay increase, less work for more pay, more opportunity to grow, and less shady management. Even more so, there's the potential to increase my payrate by 30%-40% in a year's time. I'm very excited about this change. Granted, it's not what I want to do in life but it's many steps up from what I was doing barely a week ago. I didn't even get to put in my 2-weeks notice but, honestly, there weren't any bridges to be burned. This new job could develop into a career. I won't deny that possibility. Still, I feel incredibly relieved~
Shortly after my first day on the job, I was fortunate enough to celebrate my 3-Year anniversary. It's been another long journey with numerous roadbumps. Still, I'm very grateful that we've come this far. A comment had been made just recently about status but I would like to hope that the matter has been clarified and that she and I will be able to see that happily ever after that many couples strive for. As for the night itself, she came away with a PS3-Slim and I got to increase my tea collection with blooming teas. They're exquisite~
The car fund has seen better days. As reserve, I'm unable to touch it due to the nature of the job market. Sure, I'm at a place where things are more stable. Still, it's nice to have a back-up plan. With the anniversary, driving (in general), food (in general), bills, and what other expenses, the ownership of an S14 will [once again] be put on hold. I had promised myself I would acquire it by the end of this year. It's still a possibility but, for now, I'll have to play it safe and wait for a better opportunity to present itself~
I'm thinking, sooner or later, I'm going to have to get my ROCK on. It might have to be just one of those "once a month" kinda splurges. What sucks though is that there's so much I want to splurge on. I put Tekken 6 on reserve so that'll be the next thing that'll put me back. There's still the DJ Hero package. Played the demo and I'm looking forward to the actual game. Gonna be sweet. All in all, there's sooo much that I want to buy. With my previous job, they seemed almost impossible. Now, it's more believable that I can achieve what I actually set out to do~
Currently: awaiting Thursday (should get 2 paychecks back-to-back)~
