Movin' on up!

Okay, so the title is a bit overused but it really applies to what's going on. I just checked my standings for the state register and I've moved up between 38-47 in the surrounding counties. And I took that test late last month! I cannot wait to see where I am placed. I just hope it's not Elmore or Lowndes County. Lol! Montgomery would be a better place to work, plus I would be closer to where I would be living, should I decide to move in with Joel and Heather. I'm still up in the air on that one.

There's yet another thing that has moved on up: my insurance. Go figure. I wasn't so concerned with the $186 that I was used to paying. Since my state job, I have been able to afford it. Now it has gone up to almost $192 and I am seriously thinking that maybe now is the time to sell my car to anyone for takeover payments. I can hopefully get a car that's already paid for and maybe my insurance will go down then. Of course, if I had just stayed in school, maybe it wouldn't have gone up in the first place. To that I say, "Whatever." I am not going back to Troy University and I say "hell no" to AUM. Do you know how many times that school has screwed people over? Even the administrators don't give a crap about their students. I remembered when I tried to enroll and I really needed to speak to someone. The only thing they did for me was give me a CD and a booklet and say, "Come back tomorrow." Pfffff...well, that's Auburn for you. No use whatsoever. (I am not talking about football fans, here. Of course, though I hate Auburn, I still love tigers. I just wish tigers weren't associated with Auburn. Eagles, too. Bleh.) I digress.

One thing I am giving up is this huge turtle I adopted named Pat. I've been keeping her and Steve in a twenty gallon tank at work. But today she has really proven she needs to go back to her home. I'm going to release her at the park near ASF. And she really hasn't been domesticated. She was found wandering around the highway and was picked up and brought to me. I was thinking about fostering her until I found a good home for her. Well, it seems as if it's best to just let her go. I will be taking Steve back home with me. For those of you who don't know, Steve is my tiny red ear slider turtle. He's a little bit bigger than a silver dollar. Ever since his little companion died, I thought it would do him some good to be around another turtle. So I brought him into work to meet Pat and see how they would get along. They've been doing fine so far. But I'm afraid it's over. I will just have to get Steve another friend. Maybe I wasn't cut out to take care of turtles. I've been doing well with Steve so far, though. However, Pat is driving me crazy! She has to go. TODAY! Enough said.

Well, it's lunch time and I have to go buy carpet cleaner for my cubicle. It's prone to stains. How annoying. Oh, well. I am also very hungry, considering I left my breakfast at home. I feel like sushi today, too. Hooray for getting paid! Yay! Well, I am off to lunch.

Laters!
