First off, I began working at South County Gypsum, a subsidiary of USG as a clerk last Monday. It was only a 12:00-4:30 gig, and my boss told me it wouldn't turn into full time for a month or so. But after bustin’ my ass and impressing the office and warehouse guys, I was told today I am going full time next Monday! I am finally going to make a deece wage, and even though I won’t get salary and bennies for two months, I couldn’t be happier. Now I can actually live my life without wondering if that tab from last weekend has gone through yet and hand over my debit card without fear of a decline or the eventual overdraft fees.

And after two months of random shows, our band is booking hard for late summer and fall. I got us a show at a bar at my ‘ol alma mater where I used to bounce at, and even though Purdue football isn’t what it used to be, when we start playing during football season we’ll make a killing as far as the $$$ is concerned. And I’ll have access to an age group that is slipping through my fingers as every day goes by, so being a musician and an alum will pay out quite nicely. Plus I’m leaving town the next day and won’t have any obligations to anyone, but we won’t get into that.

Lastly, I began writing for the NWI Entertainer, a sister magazine of Wassup! Magazine. I’ll be covering three bands a month and writing bar histories and all that good stuff, so it‘s right up my alley. This is what I wanted to do with my degree, and you have to start somewhere, so I am super psyched about that.

So all in all, my life has taken a turn for the better within two weeks, and I’m still a bit overwhelmed by all of the immediate success. So as any 20-something would do, I am going out tonight and getting smashed, for tomorrow is the last day I will be expected at work at noon, so I am taking full advantage. Speaking of which, it’s turning Jack and Coke:30 right now, so I’ll talk to you all later!!!
