My wildest dreams come true...An update
Ok so a few months ago. I was feeling a little down one day so I decided to write a blog describing the most awesome day scenario. I guess I was very realistic in my rendition of it, or just sincere and my friends who are amazing and want to believe the best and amazing things for me, took me serious. I am reflecting on some of the things I said and I am updating on what has happened in my life since. (original post in green)
So today I walked into work. I guess the manager has been talking with the district manager about all of us in the studio and how hard we work, so they have decided to increase our salary to $8 an hour plus commission. This is awesome! I now have a new job, it pays close to 8 an hour plus commission(tips) So then I go out into the mall, and there is a new music instrument store, I was talking to the owner about his store as I was getting a set of strings for my guitar, I actually did get a set of strings that day in fact. and he told me that this is just his day job, he's actually working on an album and he's really frustrated because he can't seem to get a backup singer for some of his tracks, I casually mentioned that I do some singing and so he asked me if I would come back after I got off from work today and audition. My buddy Adam is recording his first album and has asked me to do some vocals on it. He also mentioned that he needs someone to do some photography for his album and he asked if I could do it for him. He said even if it didn't work out for me to sing, he would pay me $500 for the use of my photography skills. Then when I got home, there was a call on the answering machine that my friend Tim found a car for me, and it's basically free except for the work that I have to put into it, he said it's not that much--he should know he's a mechanic. He said it's a 93 Toyota, it's silver like my old Toyota, it's only got 103,000 miles, he told me it has a great CD player too. I got a new car, not a Toyota but a Ford, it's got a few more miles but it was the right price and its got better mileage than the beast I was driving. Then I opened up my mail and my bank credited my account with that overdraft they charged me last year plus interest. They had gone back and re-examined their records and in fact it had been their error, they apologized profusely. No overdraft recredited but I was able to finally cash a cheque that was long overdue, I got a good exchange on it as well so it was like getting extra money, actually almost as much as the fees they charged for my overdraft. hmmm. My dad came home from work, and he said he had a surprise for me, so I went out to his truck and he had a puppy in there--for me. He said him and mom were talking the other night and they thought about how lonely I was and how happy my fish made me, so they got me a puppy. Still dreaming of a puppy. Luckily I have some great friends that own Pepsi--a very lovable pup, they are my second family and I practically live there so its like having a puppy of my own. Plus I am actively puppy shopping, never stop hoping! I asked what was the catch, why could I have a puppy at the house. So he told me that for Christmas they had paid for my first and last months rent and deposit for a small apartment close to where I work--and they take dogs! I was ecstatic, I still don't have a name for my puppy he's soo cute. I will have to take some pictures and show you. So anyway it gets better, I go to check my email and there was this thing from dell computers, I guess I had entered some contest on their website when I was browsing for computers, and I won! So I get a brand new computer with all the cutting edge technology, DVD/CD burner thingy, a 17 inch flat screen monitor. Its got lots of memory, they said I could put tons of music and pictures on it with no problem. I tried to win a computer I was pretty faithful for about two weeks around christmastime playing the dellf delivers dell computer game. Much to my chagrin I didn't win. But we were at BestBuy shopping for my dad for Christmas and I got an awesome deal on a computer, no flat screen monitor but its 17 inch lots of memory, I don't know what to do with all the speed? I guess they needed to confirm my address, and make sure I would be home when they came to deliver it. They have to do all kinds of promotional stuff and I get a tech guy to come in here and help me configure everything and put it all together! How cool is that? So I decided to celebrate with some shopping, I found this awesome pair of jeans, word is out that there is a perfect fitting pair of jeans uses digital imaging to scan your body and then creates a perfect fitting pair of jeans --who knew? they fit like a dream, but they were kinda expensive, the tag said $75, but I thought--you know I am worth it, so I went to check out and turns out they had been marked wrong and they were really only $17. When I came back my puppy was barking at me, and he ran and jumped up when I came in the door, he misses me already. So I gave him some love, and he fell asleep on my lap. He's so cute, I didn't mind the drool from him sleeping. I called up some of my friends we are gonna go out for supper at the Mexican place and then go to a concert tonight. Haven't been to a concert in what feels like forever, I did buy some new CD's, my most recent was preordering the new KJ-52 CD, I got a free t-shirt with it, How cool is that? I eat at the Mexican place a lot, in fact that sounds really good today.This day is awesome.
Just Kidding..But wouldn't it be cool?
As if all this stuff weren't enough? I am also taking a photography course starting the end of the month. I have some new friends and I am learning to do HTML code. And I am actually working for all this stuff rather than getting it for free, so it feels good and worth it!
