Looks Around

Things are changing for Lexy and I, so I decided to change the look of this here site.  I like it, makes it look a bit more “bloggy” somehow.  There is some work to be done with the sidebars, but I can’t figure out what I need to do.  Suggestions are welcome.

The two of us have decided that we are getting out of this money blackhole we call a house.  Its not that the house is falling apart or anything, it is that we are tired of financially supporting those who promised to pay their share on time, when money is due, but have failed to uphold that end of the bargain.  It is sad when those around you decide to treat you not as friends, but as landlords or utility companies.  It is fine if you don’t feel like paying a bill for two or three months, but when you fuck with our future, our credit, there is a line to be drawn.  That is essentially the crux of the problem.  The only people we know in this area, our friends, have not been treating us as friends and that I cannot stand.  I’m not a complete hardass.  I understand that people come on hard times and they don’t make as much money as they would normally, but Lexy supported this house when she didn’t have a job and nobody thought to say, “Hey, let me help take some of that burden.  Let’s share the responsibilities of this house.”  I told many this when we first moved in.  These situations destroy friendships much faster that natural erosion and that is exactly what happened.  My will and want to help other people has plummeted.  Lexy and I have helped keep people afloat in this house with no reciprocation that I just don’t see them as friends anymore.  Really, I see them as people I can’t wait to get out of my life, and that really saddens me.

Yes, the lease on this house is not up yet, but the landlord has been very accommodating and we have a plan that will keep him in a rent check.  The next step is to get a hold of him and present it.  I will keep you updated.

So, Lexy and I have decided to bid adieu to this house, and thus our Warrensburg friends, in favor of a place, hopefully, in Odessa, MO.  The idea is that Odessa is between where Lexy works and where we go to school.  It will also be beneficial to be closer to KC when I go in for the interviews at the Apple Store.

That’s right, I have an interview at the Apple Store in KC.  Actually, I have two more interviews.  I did the phone interview on Friday and am fairly certain that I did extremely well.  Now I have a “group” interview, which I’m not sure what that means, but if I get through that, then I go on to the one-on-one interview.  The idea that was set up by the interviewer over the phone is that I will start as a Mac Specialist as part-time and move on to a Creative position when I can start working full-time.  I am super excited to have an even remote opportunity to work for Apple in really any capacity.

That’s is pretty much a rehashing of everything that is happening in my life right now.
