We moved a couple of weeks ago. I'm still sorting out things. I'm trying really hard to throw things away.
I'm not sure how I've managed to collect so much crap over the years. I'm throwing things away while I'm typing this. My room is filled, and there is another room filled with unpacked, unsorted boxes. Much of it is mine. There's just too much clothing, too many shoes, too many arts and crafts supplies. Hmmm. I might donate some of the paints to work. The head teacher always appreciates arts supplies. But on top of that is my cosplays, and then really random little knick knacks that I do need, but I feel like they should go to a good home and not just be tossed into the bin. Mer.
I HAVE 2 BAGS OF CLOTH TO WHOEVER WANTS IT!!! I've posted that on FB as well. The first person to claim it within a week gets it. If there's no takers, then I'll toss it. ;.;
I've made a list of things to keep. But I often forget about things and then when I discover them, I'm thinking: OMG I can't get rid of this! And even worse is when I find stuff that belongs to Mike within MY stuff. I'm trying to shovve it in places that make sense, but it's hard. I don't know where he really wants stuff...well, at least I don't know where we will both agree to put things... lol.
I'm trying to get most, if not everything done today. I want to get working on some cosplays for CTcon, which I've been convinced to go to after all, mer. I probably won't be going to Otakon. For the7th time in a row. I've never been there, and it seems that life conspires to ruin my chances each time it looks like I can get there. Maybe 2013 will be my lucky year?
I'm also considering quitting my second job. (Which I know, given the economy is a terrible idea...but let me explain.) I've been at that post for 6 years. That is a crazy long time to be working as a sale associate. I like my coworkers, for the most part. We've been going through managers. We have a brand new one that starts today, but I'm not working so I won't meet her this week, I don't think. I'm nervous about meeting her. Also, my sales records aren't very high again, and I just don't feel passionate about the job anymore. In addition, I hate pushing the credit card application on people. It often isn't worth their time, and every time a person gets denied a card, it's a hit on their credit score. If they are approved then they get 15% of their first purchase with the card. It just seems little silly to me. Most people who come in don't care about it. That, coupled with a random secret shopper that accused me of being terribly rude, make me more nervous, because now the new manager has no first hand account of me, just a report that says I'm a terrible employee. If I quit, I might actually save money in the long run, because I spend so much money in my own store that I basically pay to work, and it would cut on gas usage to get there. Plus, not working there would mean that I wouldn't be bringing home as much crapp to add to my closet on a regular basis. I might just go in, buy a bunch a clothes with my discount, then put in my two week notice.
I guess that's my biggest worries at the moment...
Tonight is Once Upon a Time! I"m really excited about it! Only two eps left guys!!! Lets see what answers are given!
Off to do more hardcore sorting...
