Eventful Eventualities

As 2007 draws to a close, I find myself in the midst of a job search which looks like it will continue through the start of 2008. Things went sour very quickly at the book store, culminating with my manager quitting on Christmas Eve. One of my co-workers promptly walked out after a bad phone call with one of the owners. Not wanting to go down with the ship, I put in my notice. I planned to work the rest of my scheduled hours, but the owner called me two hours before I was scheduled today and said she was accepting my resignation “effective now.” She asked if my time card was complete and that was that.

I will miss my manager and my co-workers. Apart from the last month, I really enjoyed the job.

Joblessness aside, I really enjoyed my Christmas and I am looking forward to the new year. My parents were exceedingly generous. I received the following:

Just click the images to see them! Yet to arrive is Gilmore Girls Season 7 and a tshirt that says “I Heart Stephen Fry!” I’m very excited for both, as you may well imagine.

In other news, winter has finally arrived in Alabama and it’s cold and damp. Having developed arthritis in the past year, I’m not responding well to this change in the weather. Oh, well! Now that I am without a job, I can spend time cuddled up in bed with a heading pad, reading all the books I have acquired from my old job and for Christmas.
