still packing

Well, after a little over a week of packing up all of our stuff, we are STILL packing. Granted, we don't get to pack every day, as Aaron and I work opposite shifts most days of t he week, so that is slowing the process down a little bit, but still...I feel like we haven't even made a dent in all of our crap.

On Wednesday we headed to Gillette to have dinner with my folks and sister. Dad made us lasagna, and while we were there, I had to get my driver's license renewed because it expires in October, and I don't want to have to renew it in Minneapolis, and be forced to take some driving test in a city I'm not familiar with. And of course, Wyoming still does things the slow way, making me have to wait 3-4 weeks for the license to come in the mail from Cheyenne. Most places just print the license off for you right after you fill out the paper work, get your eyes checked, and get your picture taken. So Mom and Dad are going to have to mail it to me in Minneapolis (as soon as I have a place to receive mail!).

Aaron's parents have been helping us this whole time while we are moving. Once we get enough boxes filled to block off the entire living room, they bring their truck over and help us load it up, and then unload it into a storage unit. I can't imagine having to do all this without their help; it would make the process so much more painful and drawn-out.

I have two more weekends left at work, and couldn't be happier. I'm getting to the point where I really don't care much anymore, and am not as nice to guests now as I have been in the past. Not that I'm just being a jerk to everyone, but to all the people who have made working there a hell on Earth, I'm not putting up with their shit anymore, and I tell 'em straight how it is, instead of pussyfooting around the issue or just being as nice as humanly possible in that situation. It's kind of empowering, and I wish I'd done it earlier, because it probably would have saved me a bunch of grief while working there. I still care about my job and about DOING a good job while I'm there, don't get me wrong, that will never change, but now I just tell people what I think. :D

Aaron's trying to keep me busy with "projects" so I can entertain myself while he's working today...but I don't really consider cleaning very entertaining, so I'm procrastinating. Go figure.
