ok

i didn't get the job at wachovia. i don't know why. they just sent an email saying i didn't. oh well. it was dissapointing but at least i got some job hunting experience. and i have good news at my store now. the lazy manager's finally leaving. and they're thinking of getting gareth's manager to manage our store as well as the one they're already managing. doesn't sound like a good idea but that means they'd need to keep me on as an assistant at our store. and even though i've been doing more than my share lately now it will be official so i could ask for the raise that was promised to me a month ago if i was just going to go to a busier store. sounds good to me. for now. i won't know what's really going on until i come back from vacation the end of the month. we're going to florida to visit gareth's dad with his brother and his brother's girlfriend for a week. i'm excited. they just bought a new house and it's right on the water... and has a screened in pool. it'll be nice to get some summer in just as fall's coming. budd laid another egg this morning. she was in her dry tank for a few days but wanted back in the water. so she's been in there for a few days and just popped one out this morning. four more to go. we're having another family get-together tomorrow. my aunt's from ny is in town so we're all getting together for a bbq at my parents' house. it seems like we get together a lot but i've barely been home this summer. so that should be nice. and everything's ok.
