Well, I’m still not 100% better from my sickness. I really wish it would just go away already. My ears pop every time I blow my nose. It’s annoying.
I tried doing some work on my car earlier but to end up at dead ends. My blinkers don’t want to work and I was told it was because one of the blinker bulbs was out. OK fine, I replaced it. Still doesn’t want to blink. They go on, and stay on. The weird thing though, is that my 4way flashers will work fine. Go figure.
The other issue is that my driver’s side view mirror got fudged up when I was cleaning snow off earlier in the season, and now I can’t adjust the mirror from the inside very well. One of the wires has broken off. My dad said he’d get me a new mirror, but in the meantime it’s just annoying.
On the plus side of things though, I got a quarter raise at work. Wegmans finally bit the bullet and started compensating those above minimum wage. See, here in NY the minimum wage has been going up each year. They hire people at minimum wage, and then at the beginning of the year their pay goes up no matter what. Those like me well above minimum wage don’t get jack. Unfair, right? Well now I get more raises. I can go up to over $9/hr, and I’ll be there in about a year. For now though, I’m at $8.25 which is comfortable for my field of work, and I’ll get another raise come July. Not that far off, really.
Also, My MIDI keyboard finally came in the mail. It’s at Rachel’s right now. She got me this for Christmas but the site she ordered from were a bunch of idiots. The keyboard she originally ordered went out of print at the warehouse and they never notified her, but thankfully her mom’s credit card was not charged. So this time we went to a reputable online site (CompUSA) and ordered one that was better for the same price. She felt really bad about me waiting so long for it, but I don’t mind it at all. She got me it, that’s all that matters to me.
I also got some other things done I’ve been kinda slacking on… namely mailing out the iPod that I sold on Ebay (lady paid $85 including shipping, cost me only $3 to ship it) and getting some loan forms filled out. Now with that out of the way, I just have a couple bills to pay off and things will be set for me for a while.
I’m really enjoying WordPress and the layout of my site. I still need to implement the gallery, and I’ll probably get to that later today.
