All alone


Work has finally separated us. Mike and Amanda are sleeping, since they have to be up in 5 hours to go to Toys R' Us, and Billy's at Target doing an overnight. So, for the first time in a while, it's only 1am and I'm the only person on a computer. Creepy.

The place I applied at called me today and I passed my background and drug tests. Not that I was worried I might fail, but it was nice to do well on a test. I go in today around 10am to fill out my final paperwork and seal the deal. She's going to start me on Friday night. Then it's back to the night owl schedule for me. It's going to suck while Michelle's here, but I actually prefer overnights. Always less people, and even less employees.

As I've mentioned before, I'm still going to interviews for other jobs. I figure what the heck, if they're willing to pay more, I might be willing to switch. The lady that called all three of us about the Best Buy interviews told Mike and Amanda to wear suits if they had them. She never said it to me, which I found unusual, but I've decided to wear the suit that I just happen to have. Purchased by none other than my father. It's a really nice suit. I rarely get to wear it, because I don't have an office job or attend church regularly, but I like it a lot. I think a suit makes a man look that much better, even if he's not all that attractive. Like Pat Sajak.

The guy at Toys R' Us that was telling Mike and Amanda all the rules of the store warned them that when people are jerks, they should just walk away and get a manager. He went on to use Jennifer Love Hewitt as an example. Apparently, she'd been in the store a week ago and acted "like a B". His words, not mine. This is my first bit of celebrity gossip since I've arrived. I'm sure Mike and Amanda will get their share of celebs in a store that's in the top ten most shopped in LA. We were discussing the other day that we've been here for two weeks and already I've seen 3, Amanda's seen 4, and Mike's seen 6 celebs. It's wierd.

Nobody seems to be posting. I hate for two of mine to fall right on top of each other, but if I have to work on this thing by myself, so be it. I've been trying to increase our monthly hits by using a different trick each day. Mike put us on a link exchange. I visit sites that I like and leave comments with our web address connected to it. I'm a shameless self-promoter, but it's working like a charm. And we seem to be getting an excellent response from Blogger's homepage as well. I hope all you new readers like the site.

We've learned how to save a little bit of server space, so hopefully we'll have more movies for everyone to download soon. Everyone seems to enjoy them, so we'll keep making them. Hopefully, on a sunnier day this time. The last video was grey, trust me, compared to what LA usually looks like. The sunlight here is never in short supply. And we're going to have vids to prove it.
