All moved in.

The move into Liz’s apartment was pretty painless. Only took me a few trips back and forth from the house, and since it’s a 10 minute drive it didn’t seem like much time was taken to really transport stuff here. Got my desk all set up, my dresser and clothes in a spot, and any other miscellaneous stuff either went on a shelf or in storage. My desktop PC I’ll wait on setting up, along with the 5.1 speakers. Not really needed right now.

Aside from the move, Liz and I had a pretty decent weekend. Did some shopping Saturday night, then watched some epicly bad horror movie. Sunday we did more cleaning + moving around, and other shopping.

Today I started second shift. It felt awesome being able to sleep in late. Woke up around 10:30, got my hair cut, washed and waxed the car, went out for Indian with Liz, and then we went for ice cream. By the time we were done with that, I still had over an hour until my shift started. I’m already loving this schedule.

The night shift is pretty bare-bones right now. I trained 3 people who are computer literate (which makes my life much easier) and have enough of a brain to follow printed directions. Trust me, some of the people who land a job there don’t have a clue what they’re doing. But these guys do. I showed them what they needed to do, gave them printed directions, and by the end of the night they were ace. I was able to focus on my normal job too, with limited interruptions. I checked on them frequently to see if they had any questions, and did my best to help them with any problems. It worked out pretty well. In a week they’ll be on their own, I’m betting.

I had a week of vacation from my classes last week and they started up again this week. I’m really not looking forward to 11 weeks of Statistics, but oh well. It’ll be interesting to see how I’ll submit work over the internet.

Liz’s schedule changed a bit today so she won’t be home until 2:30. Gives me a little time here by myself, to which I’ll probably just putz around or maybe pop in a movie. Got a DVD of A Man Apart starring Vin Diesel. But after seeing Babylon AD last weekend I’m kinda afraid to see this.
