My Head Hurts

Computer room is cleaned out at last, all the boxes are gone. The bedroom is mostly cleaned out. Yippey! Doesn't look like the ferrets are going to work out, two out of three of them are not litter trained and tend to shit all over the place. Probably going to have to take them back, neither Jen nor I have time to clean up after them every few hours. Bedroom closet has an overwhelming smell of cinnamon, it reminds me of "Atomic Fireballs", you know those jaw breakers we all used to chew on as kids.

Less then a month till X-mas, still shopping to do for everybody. This time of year always sucks. Got to pay your bills, which you barley have money for to begin with, then on top of all of the normal prices you have gifts to buy. Lots and lots of gifts, depending on the size and closeness to your family. I don't plan on buying anything for my extended family, I doubt that they got us anything anyway. We are still buying for Jen's family, and I know they got us stuff, so we should buy in return.

And of course, to make matters worse my job is seasonal. Which means I make more money at X-mas time then I do in the summer. In the past this never posed a problem, when I worked for Metro we got out benefits checks the weekend before X-mas, which means that I had a few grand to blow. But I switched jobs, meaning I do not have that anymore. I've been wondering as of late why I left there. Yea, it sucked, but not much more then working where I do now. The only comfort I have is that the pit has been cut back to fourty hours a week for the last two months, and they probably won't have any more next summer. Maybe I got out just in time?
