These places make my blood boil. That's all I can say about that.

#3: "I haz a nu JOB!!!1!!1!"

It feels silly to write about it now. I was offered the job about two weeks ago, then had to wait from a Wednesday to a Monday for the background check to clear to make it 100% official (because I'm paranoid and supersticious). I didn't want to tell people until the background check came through, so when I was all excited with the new-ness of the news I kept it quiet, then when it was 100% official it was kind of old news to me... And I don't start work until August 1st, so really not much has changed in my day-to-day life since I was unemployed.

Except I'm NOT! I have rejoined the ranks of the employed. I am once again a productive member of society.

I'll be working with one of the Dallas County Community Colleges, not teaching but rather coordinating tutors for a high-school outreach program. Should be fun. I'm looking forward to it.

Freddy is very excited as well. He was very supportive of my leaving my old job because I was unhappy there, but while he supported my decision he also was not too excited about suddenly no longer having my income. I get teacher pay through August, so it'll be nice to get two paychecks that month! (Don't worry, we'll be responsible. The extra money is going to our emergency fund.)

Since I haven't started work (and won't for another month), I can't tell you much else about it. But I'm sure I will in the future.

#2: "I haz a nu BATHROOMS!!!1!!1!!"

The bathrooms needed new floors as well, since the workers had to jackhammer through the old floors to fix the leak. I had no objection, since the old floors were stick-on tile, which is quite gauche.

The old bathrooms also had butt-fugly wallpaper, which was also damaged from the water leakage. Alas, it had to go.

As did the vanity. I was not overly fond of it, either.

So now the guest bathroom has non-stick-on floors (still not real tile, but much nicer than the old stuff), a pretty, new vanity, and pretty, pretty purple walls. (I still need to paint the medicine cabinet, which is why the door is off and randomly sitting on the floor, but ignore that for now.)

The "master" bathroom has the same floors (both bathrooms are connected), but a lighter shade of purple on the walls.


And isn't that the most loveliest shower curtain you have ever seen?

Yes, it is.
