beansideHappy Friday, everyone! I woke up at an ungodly hour, and ended up getting out of bed around 6am. I really wish I could sleep in on my days off, but my brain and body are kinda dickish.
So, there's a new program at work where over three years, you go from manager to market manager, which sounded awesome. I want to advance, and this is a targeted program that will help you do just that. Downside, while the first year you're in your home office, the second and third year, you're expected to move to another area. Which would mean Jess and I would have to have a long distance relationship. We talked it over, and I put in for it (no guarantee that I'll get into the program, of course). I think I would have regretted it if I hadn't. It feels a little selfish to even apply, honestly. But I want to advance, and this would be the chance to do so, at a pretty fast rate. I'm afraid they'll want someone with more higher education, but I will try.
I haven't brought it up with my sister yet. I figure I'll see what happens. No sense in opening that can of worms when nothing might come of it. I don't think she'll be thrilled with me if I get it. As I said to Jess, my ultimate goal is to be making enough money that it won't always be such a big deal.
If they choose me, I would probably nearly double my salary within 3 years, and be able to move anywhere in the world at the end of the program. I could get behind that.
I'd like to go to college, but I really can't afford it. IKEA will reimburse me for up to $2500/year, but I would still have to put out that cash initially, and I just don't have it. And it would take me forever to finish the degree, since I'd probably only be able to take one or two classes a semester.
Eh, nothing to do now but see how it goes.
I made a mistake on Wednesday. I was going to pay half of my due Tmobile balance out of Dad's account, and then pay the rest on Friday when I got paid, because Tmobile was getting a little bit upset about the late payment. Somehow, it took out the full payment for this month and last month to the tune of $500. I'm still paying off new phones for the family, which is why it's so high. The actual phone bill is pretty good considering that I have 5 lines on it. I'm on a really nice plan that they no longer offer.
The result of that, is that I'll be paying for groceries again this week. In the interest of being fiscally responsible, we cancelled our trip to the Melting Pot. Just couldn't quite bring myself to spend that kind of money. Maybe we can go somewhere for lunch tomorrow.
No D&D this week, which is always sad. But we can do some running around tomorrow and get shit done rather than have to rush back, which will be good.
