Spring airsoft guns, phone calls, and jobs. Oh my!
Well the phone just rang on me and guess who it was? Randy! He talked to his counselor this morning and mentioned the block on the phone and he made a quick phone call and voila! I can talk to him again. So GTL can go take a hike. I guess the prison is switching the phone system that they use to a completely different company anyways. So that’s a positive spin on my day. He’s going to be calling once a day before bed so we can still talk but keep the costs down. He also got a job working in the mess hall, 8 hours a day. Do you know in prison they make $.25/HOUR? That’s disgusting. It really is. But he’s gotta do something to keep himself occupied and he can earn a bit of money.
I also called Rose at the hotel to keep her updated on what is going on with HR about me starting work. Apparently I need to wait to receive a packet from the department to do drug/alcohol testing. It’s been a week already, It’s frustrating. I want to start working. My brother has an interview at 3:30 today, he’s going to do ticket taking. It’s a huge job maker here, the amusement park. They stimulate the economy in the summer because tourists come and that whole shebang.
My canvasing is at a halt right now. I just haven’t felt up to it but my tote looks like I’ve gone on a yarn collecting spree. You can collect pretty much anything though that can also be used, like the spring airsoft gun. You can either collect a bunch of them for display or actually use them for their intended purpose. I don’t think I’d want to spend money on something only to display it. It seems silly to me but my uncle does it with expensive guns, people do with cars, why not? I’ll just continue to buy things I’m going to actually use.
