For every two steps forward..

.. I tend to take one step back. 

But hey, lots of good things have been happening lately.

Ever since I moved back home, I've been applying for jobs like crazy. I had sent out easily over 30 applications, some even with resumes attached. After several interviews, I've finally made headway. I now officially work at Office Depot! However, while I am in the system, for the last bit of the process I needed my SCC. Wouldn't you know it, I just happened to forget it. Smooth move, I know. But I have the opportunity to redeem myself on Sunday, which is when I begin my first shift.

Also, while this was happening today, I couldn't figure out why my car wouldn't completely turn over or release the keys after I put it into Park. So I had my stepfather come up and check it out while I was doing busywork. I walk out feeling irked at myself and notice his truck still sitting next to the car. I open the door and I get this look like I did something wrong, so I inquire as to what I did this time to the car, nervous I might've jacked it up somehow. Nope. He started laughing as he told me that I had attempted to Park the car.. in Reverse. Awesome. I'm just so full of great{lame}ness today.

So I drowned my sorrows in a huge sammich.

As for the rest of my life, it has been going pretty smoothly. I made a new friend who's pretty rad. Unfortunately, he lives in SD so it'd be quite the trek to go see him. But at least there's texting.

Definitely hoping other aspects of my life improve, as well, but I suppose we'll see how things progress, eh?
