Free at Last

Yay! I'm finally done with work. Yes, that's right, no longer am I a wage slave of United Colors of Benetton. Friday was supposed to be my last day, but as they decided to move to our new "warehouse" (and I use the term liberally and with more than just a grain of salt) during my last week, I decided to call in sick on my last 2 days. Unprofessional, you say? Well I had 3 days of "personal time" left that they said they wouldn't pay me, and they didn't give me the days as requested personal days off, so I decided to take advanatge of them and avoid the annoyance that would come of working with those idiots for 2 more days. And by idiots I mean the people I work(ed) for, not work(ed) with. And not only did they try to make me work more hours in my last week, they even asked me if I'd work a few more days. HAH! Umm, hello? I'm moving to Sweden! I can't believe I stayed there almost 2 years. Maybe they're not the only ones who are idiots... So anyways, that's all done - FINALLY. Believe me, I won't be looking back.

I had my yard sale this weekend - I think the weather conspired to keep attendance low (coupled with a lack of advertising), so I didn't sell as much as I wanted to. But I did sell some "high-ticket" items, so the money wasn't too bad, and I got more money than expected when I sold some books and CDs to a used book store and music store, respectively. All in all, I'm pleased with the money made with my sales. That's what's financing my few days of "vacation" before settling and buckling down with my studies in Sweden, so it will serve me well without having to dip into my living expense money for the next year.

Only 14 days left until I leave! Ack! I am so busy right now, with so much to do. Here's hoping I get it all done, or the Grove at Flynn's Crossing is gonna have an apartment full of crap to deal with when I leave. What's up with this sleep thing anyway? I'd have plenty of time if I didn't have to do that every night. Oh well, I'll just have to deal with what I've got. Pack, pack, pack....
