So I don't have cancer. I know, this doesn't come as a surprise to most people, but I'm pretty happy about it. I was mildly worried. Not very, but still. Yay! to no cancer. And hopefully that'll be the end the doctor's appointments for a while.

In other news, I very soon will be a part-time Home Depot employee. Though I question the wisdom of voluntarily agreeing to actually work 7 days per week, I figure I'll do it as long as I can. They gave me a choice of departments, I went with paint over gardening. I mean, I really don't have a romaniticized notion of what working outside in the summer in NJ is like. I've done it before and it's freaking hot.

This job will make things difficult though. I need to tell them when I have my trip to Chicago scheduled too, I better remember that. But otherwise... I mean, travel will be nigh impossible (though obviously, I can still go to Philly and stuff, don't worry

crowyhead!!!) and I guess I'll have to do scenic painting either on weeknights or before/after shift on weekends. Thrilling. But I mean, really, you do what you have to do... and right now, and possibly for a while yet, this is what I need to do. I refuse to ask for more money from my family. I mean, I own these debts, the majority still being student loans, and I refuse to give up. Doing something about it. Kicking ass, taking names, that sort of thing.

And in other job-related news... tomorrow is the day in which I find out what's happening to my real job. Fun fun...
