So when someone I haven't talked to in a while asks what's new, I don't really have much to tell them. I go to work, and when I'm not working, I'm doing housework and looking for better-paying, full-time work. Hmmm. I did get offered a raise at my present job, and it's enough to make me not feel as crappy for working there. When one of the new girls found out that I had spent 5 years at my undergrad (four-year degree plus one year for Honours), she was like, "And you're working at the Glebe Emporium?" Comments like that raise my hackles. I added wryly, "Yeah, and I also just completed my MA degree too!" I went on to say that people in college get work faster, but people with university education get better paying jobs in the long run. If I don't think about how much I'm at work, and how little I get paid for what I do, it's not so bad.

I learned how to do returns today. It's nice to know that my work there is trusted and they value me enough to want me to stay (giving me the raise). But they also know that when a better-paying job comes along I will have to take it. Can we say student loans anyone?

On a fun note, I got one of the important pieces for my Halloween costume today. I'm invited to two parties and am really excited about it. The one on Saturday offers the potential to meet a lot of new people (re: men). I also think my costume is pretty cool.

It's the little things that gets you through. I'm off to bed. Haven't slept particularly well in the last few days, so I need to try to catch up. Morning comes too early.
