New Job

As most of you have prolly heard, I got a new job at the Tax Commission .... so I "officially" moved on Tuesday and got started on my new job today ... funny thing is my "new" job was created so they could get rid of my old unit, so as training for my new job I will basically be doing my old job and slowly taking on new tasks (and getting paid almost twice as much)... I was excited about my new job cause I thought I would have less time on the phone but as it turns out for a while at least I'll probably be answering more phone calls, because the other people in my old unit will be leaving before the people that were hired in the new positions are trained on the phones... oh well at least the days will go fast because I'll be busy.

Halloween (or the post that I meant to post on Halloween but thought I accidentally erased)

Remember when you were a kid Halloween was like this HUGE holiday, and when you got done trick-or-treating you were sure it had to be midnight cause you walked forever and went to every house? Yeah it's kinda funny to realize that when you were a kid Halloween probably ended at 8 p.m. and you didn't really go to that many houses. Just a random thought.

ANYway so this Halloween I was reminded why I don't watch scary movies that often, it is 2 a.m. and I am wide AWAKE. We watched Stay Alive and White Noise tonight and while they didn't have the most unpredictable plots, they certainly made me jump. I think my friends spent more time watching my reactions than actually watching the movies. I got home to find my family forgot that I was still out so all lights were off and doors locked; finding your house key while standing on a deserted street in the dark isn't much fun, but at least I gave the people inside as much of a fright becuase they thought someone was breaking in.
