Spent the last hour printing out envelopes for graduation announcements. Still not sure if I am graduating or not; according to the web site, I am still applied, not accepted. But has Suzannesaid, “Just send the announcements, no one will ever know if you get the diploma or not.” So the first 25 announcements are done. I am still waiting for the 10 extra that I bought and I might have to buy 10 more if I go through my plan to send announcements to teachers that I hated over the years. Hmmm. Will have to think about that…
Went online and found out some useful information at my living situation. I guess it is legal for me to live here without a written lease. Also, he has to give me notice before evicting me, so I don’t have to worry about being kicked out overnight. One thing of interest is with the security deposit. I originally paid the first months rent and a $1000 deposit/fee thing for Justin. Am wondering if I can get some of that back. Even half of that would be great. Will have to find someone with a bit of law knowledge.
So Michael Greenberg calls me up at work, which is cool cause I had lost his number. He needs to move out by the end of May so it will be perfect. It will be great breaking the news to Justin; Gawd, I can see him overreacting about it and yelling at me now. **sigh** Wonder when I should hit him with the 30-day notice. Probably at the end of the month. Hopefully Mike can get something either at Park Merced or at the new Ocean View Village. Michael is a good guy; loves Dave Matthews as much if not more than Suzanne. If being sick and tired of hearing Dave Matthews all day long the worse problem I have with Mike, it will be paradise. I wonder if our other old roommate, Randy is looking. Should try giving him a call.
Watching Tin Cup on T. V. with Kevin Costner and Renee Russo. I’ve been wanting to see this movie for a long time and I’m glad I did. It was a pretty good movie, esp. for one starring Costner. But I love Renee Russo. I think I would want her to play Suzanne in the movie of my life; I see a lot of similarities in the both of them for some reason.
Speaking of the girlfriend, I saw her pictures with her pink wig. Didn’t really like them too much, and I told her as much. Yesterday was kinda of weird talking on the phone; not really fighting, but not really agreeing with each other on things. Tonight was more of a rant night for her cause she had a major test in Electrician class. Hopefully, she will get her taxes done in time. She’s trying to use TurboTax online with AOHell and it keeps crapping out on her. I wonder if there is a dial-up number she can use with PacBell.
Anyway, my throat is asking for some Hot Green Tea w/ Honey before we sleep. Tomorrow is a busy day for me with a Managers meeting @ 10 a.m. Heehee, I get to sleep in. Yay! Also need to start writing letters and notes to go with these graduation announcements.

Just finished talking to former roommate, Michael Greenberg. Looks like we are seriously looking for a new place to live. YAY!!!!

The battle against this latest cold infection is hopefully entering it’s final stages. I found my Tylenol Cold/Non Drowsy, which is not quite working cause I am feeling a little woosy right now. No operating large equipment for me today. Hope I can get rid of this cold completely by this weekend.
Work continues to be slow. Sent Tim home early, and I am here waiting for UPS to come. I have a bit of paperwork that I need to work on.
Tonight, I will work on my graduation announcement and getting addresses on them. Will def. have to cut my list down since they didn’t ship all of the announcements that I asked for.
Birthday is coming up, but with the whole having to look for a new place hovering in the air, not really in the mood to celebrate. Can’t wait to I get paid so that I can pay bills and mail off birthda presents to friends.
I am in such a vampire mood. I want to grab someone and just bite them in the neck and suck out their blood in the hopes that I can suck out their blood and energy, so I’ll stop feeling so listless.

So I get home and there is the guy who was with Dr. Tam (the owner of the building that I live in) They are outside talking and stuff and I go in and tell Justin, assuming that he already knows. Justin goes outside and starts talking/yelling at the guy and finds out that Dr. Tam is selling the house, without telling him.
So I have been screwed. I should have signed a lease, but I was in such a rush to find a place. I had put it off for so long cause of school and I just wanted to move immediately. So on top of financial aid and needing a new car, I need to start looking for a new place to live. **sigh** I need to start saving for a deposit again. Part of me is kinda worried…O. K. a lot of me is worried. I still haven’t gotten a credit check, so I still don’t know how bad my credit is. It can’t be too bad if J. C. Pennys gave me a credit card. And I really liked the location of this place; it was centrally located to everything for me: the school, work, library, food, shopping, mail, freeway, BART. It will be hard to find a place like this.
But I guess this is part of growing up and living in the “Real World”. Anyway, I have one lead on a new place. I just need to call Michael, my old house mate from Park Merced. Oh God, Dave Matthews 2hrs a day, 7 days a week. I think that I am going to fix me some soup first and calm my nerves a bit.

STILL groggy from the Nyquil that I took yesterday. Spent most of last night tossing and turning; don’t remember much, but I think that I made alot of noise. At least it seems that my cold is breaking up.
Today, I went to the Dodge dealership to wait for Mark cause we were bringing the company vn in to get it’s breaks checked. OMG Not a minute after I arrive, than a Dealership Vulture swoops down and starts to peck on my body. UGH, I’m sorry; but at 9am in the morning, it is just unnatural for ANYBODY to be as friendly as he was trying to be. I was so glad when Mark came. **sigh** Just another reminder of how I hate car shopping; but it is something that I will have to do soon.
Anyway, after an hour wait to check in the van, we decided to go next door to the Lucky Chances Casino for breakfast. The breakfast was cheap and wasn’t half bad. We did not pay anything, but I could see why Mark and Peter head out here after work from Polly Esters. It is a pretty casual place; not as imtimidating as a Las Vegas or Reno casino can be.
Well, it is still slow here at the warehouse. Sent mark home already, but I will probably stay unitl 5pm counting stuff. Also need to research stuff for Rob. Blah, blah, blah.

Just finish an experiment with the girlfriendinvolving us playing Diablo II with me on the DSL and her on AOL. Less than spectacular results, esp. with someone IMing her while we were playing. So sometime this week, I need to look for the extra network card and install it on my computer. Hopefully that will work better.
Today, we are headed off to the Cartoon Museumto take a look at the Calvin ANd Hobbes Display. The last time I went to the cartoon museum, was Vacaville H.S. Prom of 1993 when I went with Kathy Libal. Now that is an event with a lot of stories. Anyway, Kathy and I ended up at the museum about 30 min before it closed. It was a very cool experience.
O. K. the girlfriend is done checking LJ on Matthew (her IBook) and now she is yelling at me to get dressed. She is asking nicely, not yelling. She is also not assaulting me trying to get me to get ready. Not that I mind. Heh heh. O. K. Off I go….

Just got off the phone with Hilda from Gifts. She wants to bring out her crew to do a physical inventory of the warehouse. Yay!!!!! I can officially stop counting. The only thing is that she wants to do it on Sat. the 27th, 3 days after my B-Day. I could make Tim come out to open the warehouse for them. Hmmm. Will have to think about it. I’m just glad she realizes how bad her inv. is. O.K. def. time to go home.

Alone at work right now; sent Tim home early. Partly cause it is slow here, partly cause Renee (his girlfriend is having a crisis). Anyway, I will be spending the next 1 1/2 working on more neverending inventory corrections.
Tim is actively looking for a new job, which isn’t surprising. I should probably start looking too, but I’m not. On the one hand $25-30K is too low of a salary for me to live on, esp in the Bay Area. But I really have no idea of what I want to do with myself. I still have 6+ months to decide before I join the military.
Blah…I’d better get working so that I can go home…

Dr. Tam, the owner of the building, just stopped by with a lot of people talking about buying this place. That makes me very worried, esp. since I don’t have an official lease here. Will have to talk to Justin when he gets back. Also need to go downtown to the rent board to see what my options are if this building gets sold. Might as well hit Craigslist and start looking at new places. **sigh** I really don’t need this now. It sucks cause I don’t have enough to move right now. I might have to pass on the down payment on a car from my parents for graduation. Instead, I might need them to help with a deposit for a new place.
