I'm an extra again today. Second time this week.

Word among the other team members is that a person can expect to be an extra once a week without it meaning anything. If you're an two times or more a week, it means the office doesn't like you.

Granted, when I was an extra on Tuesday, I DID have to go to Elkhorn, so maybe that didn't really count as being an extra. Otherwise, I don't know what I did wrong. If I'm an extra two times next week, I'm going to ask Chelsea if I'm in trouble for something.

The products we use at work are giving Keely a big rash up and down her arms, so she'll probably quit soon. If she does, and she can't find enough sub jobs, she might have to move in with Justin ahead of schedule (no rent money), which gives me two options. Find myself a smaller, cheap apartment, or move home early.

I don't want to get an apartment by myself, because 1) apartment hunting is the pits, 2) it would require me to be responsible and adult, 3) it would probably require a yearlong lease at first, and 4) security deposit, first and last month's rent, utilities, might have to cut back on things like internet access, etc.

The cons of moving home so soon include missing Keels, but also I don't want to be driving to Alaska in the dead of winter. The absolute SOONEST we would be able to leave the apartment is the first of November, which is coming up very fast, too soon. But anytime after that and we will be into winter, with snow on the ground at least when we pass through the mountains, and then more frequently up into Canada and Alaska. Therefore, if I don't leave then, I'll have to wait until at least March, probably.

Also, if I go home early, it means I'll have to find a job in Valdez in the winter. I had been hoping that I'd get home just in time for next summer's boat season, but if I go home early, I'll have to bag groceries or something.

I COULD go someplace else entirely, but packing up and moving to a completely new place in wintertime when I'll only be there a year is not something I want to consider.

I don't know what to do. I want my mommy.

*hugs toight* :/

Hopefully Keely will find a better job, or a way to stop the reaction. That sucks, though. I really hope things work out for the best.

I used to work for Glacier Sound Inn, and I hated it, so I'm hoping to avoid another hotel job, but I might have no choice. Thanks for the thought. I think it would be nice if I could get a job at the museum or in the school offices or something.

Just a thought...if you do have to move back early, they are in desperate need of sub teachers at the school. You are basically on call, but it's like $80.00 a day. Just thinkin...

I love ya

[kokopellinelli]

Yeah, I was thinking about looking into that when I got back, even if I don't get back till next summer. I will need a job for winter. I would PREFER a regular job, but then, the cleaning is a regular job and it sucks ass. So. Thanks, hon.

Never fear, Dear. Mommy's here. It'll all work out. Remember I'm actually going to be Outside from 15 Nov. to 10 Dec. (or didn't I tell you that part?) and could step up the current plans for next May. If we needed to, we could move you as far as Washington with little problem, leave all your stuff at Auntie's until we could retrieve it, and fly home. Then you could be here for Xmas!! And, oh yeah, I don't think the Aspen has a bar.... By the way, is that "getting_weary" person our very own Beckimus??

[kokopellinelli]

Oh, you did read it! Good. Yes, getting_weary is Beck...I didn't know she had an LJ till she responded to one of my posts a month or so back.

Why are you going outside in Nov?

Just knowing that you're aware of the situation makes me feel loads better.

Nelli. Go and live with Suellen. Seriously, Nina said she was talking with Suellen about that. It would be freeeee... But you know what? I think Mom-man's idea is even better. Plus Becky's idea about sub-teaching would be totally sweet, mainly for me, though... Because then I could be like "Yeah thats my sister that you said that smart-ass comment to, you little punk-wad." and then break a water balloon over the offender's head. muahahahhahaah! (Charles would like to appologize if those last couple sentences seemed...weird, and/or slightly incoherent.) cheers! Li'l BRO

[kokopellinelli]

Ah'm comin home. I'll be with you guys for Thanksgiving and Christmas, probably. *hugmuch*

I did talk to suellen and she said her area needs alot of subs and that two teachers are going on maternity leave so if you want to know more about it you can just contact her and you are free to stay are her and andy's place.

It's very nice of Suellen to offer, but I just want to go home. That's what's exciting to me right now.
