Justin was offered a job at T-Mobile today. Good starting pay – almost $15 per hour, plus benefits. He’s been struggling as a cosmetologist for the last few years, and especially since he went out on his own a few months ago. This will give him a good steady income and he thinks they’ll help pay tuition towards a computer science degree.
Christopher moved into his dorm at UMF today. He went up to Alex’s in Farmington last night and Alex helped him move in today. Good thing he went up last night as we had a surprise snowstorm this morning and it would have been a bitch to drive even the half hour.
So really all three of my dear sons are doing well. Jared is still working part time at the public library in Monmouth and is starting his first library science class this week. He’s got quite a few credits towards the degree already from the English major classes he’d been taking so hopefully he’ll be able to do the library science degree within a couple of years. It’s a great fit for him, being such an avid reader since he was very little, and he likes the interaction with the public as well. I think Justin will miss the interaction with his customers but he plans to continue doing hair on the side. Hopefully he won’t find the call center too stifling.
Had a good time at The Cup last night with the NitPickers playing. Good crowd that stayed the whole night. They’ve got a CD release party next Saturday afternoon at The Higher Grounds and will be taping a segment of 207 next Thursday to be aired the following day. We’ll ask Steve if he’ll play it on his TVs on Friday during our usual time at The Depot. This Friday we have the poetry reading at A-One To Go. I haven’t written anything new for ages though I’ve started lots of pieces. Maybe I’ll become inspired one day this week. If not maybe I’ll reread an older piece. They’re probably not so memorable that anyone would notice, plus who says you can’ read the same ones over again.
Going for dental surgery tomorrow. Justin is coming down to spend the night and take me in as Rick and Jared are both working. So I’ve got just two days of work this week. I don’t think anything big is happening at the Legislature this week so that shouldn’t be a problem.
I started working on a tea set for Karen Barrett at pottery. I’ve thrown and embellished the tea pot but still want to do a couple of cups and possibly a sugar bowl and creamer. I also made my first candlestick. We’ll have to wait and see how that works out.
