Well, almost two months into the job and things are still going very well. The only thing I still can’t adjust to is that I wake up around 6:30am every morning, yet I still go to sleep around 12:30-1am. There are days when it doesn’t affect me, but I have maybe 1-2 days a week where I feel completely drained and am constantly yawning and fighting to stay awake.
I’m sure eventually I’ll go to sleep early! In other news with the reliable source of income, I’ve made the decision to go ahead and do away with my Samsung Blackjack and get an Apple iPhone 3G. I just really needed something that was more suitable for me as I’m constantly downtown. I need a better way to stay updated on the go, and because I just want to have an iPhone. I’m going in tomorrow to AT&T to upgrade my phone to get the $199 price for the 8GB iPhone. My Blackjack I actually ordered online from eBay so the last time I had an upgrade was in 2006 and it was with a Samsung SGH-D807 aka the Slider Phone.
Not only am I splurging on that but after talking with Armando I decided that I’m going to go ahead divvy up my money. $250 per check will go to my dad, and $200 will go straight into savings. Then the other money I have is pretty much used for gas, $116/mo train pass, and anything leftover is for anything I want to buy. Which I decided would be mostly electronics ranging from a new HDTV LCD monitor (not sure what size yet), Blackmagic Intensity capture card, possibly a new DSL-R, and then trying to fix up my car.
Originally I planned on saving most of money from each check for a new car, but if I’m going to move downtown I won’t need a car to do the public transit around here (that and I hate parallel parking).
Oh, and aside from work I’ve been working with a fantastic designer, Anthony Bullock on getting together a new design for Holdfire so hopefully once that’s 100% complete (he’s working on the subpage design) I’ll be able to get started on the redesign and relaunch for it. 🙂
That’s awesome! Iphones really fascinate me. If I could afford one, I’d splurge too! 🙂
I like the *idea* of an iphone more than I like the iphone itself, methinks… I don’t think I could deal with not having either a numerical nor qwerty keypad :. But they look stunning though!
And haha, parallel parking… its not that bad at all once you’re used to it, but i suppose why bother when you have decent plublic transport, huh. esp with the price of petrol, maintainence, etc.
I’d have loved to get an iPhone, the thing is, I don’t have a job. The money that I would be paying per month, if I could afford it, I would rather put towards a laptop. They’re still smexy though. 🙂
NEW LAYOUT FOR HOLDFIRE!? *can’t wait*
What are you doing to be fresh through the day with such schedule?
Well well. Grats on the new upgrade. I bet you can’t guess what Best Buy I work at now.. Hint Hint I work with Alicia!
the iphone was the best thing i ever bought.
