So I'm having a difficult time deciding again whether I want to move to Texas or Oregon. Oregon has 1)the benefit of having the USs only rain forest, 2) coastal access, 3)and river and lakes for fishing enjoyment. 4) Oh yeah, my friends and their kids are moving there and I can possibly stay with them for a time. Texas will have 1)my other friends, 2) a cookie shop that they're going to run, 3) lakes galore as well, 4) there's a mustang place out there in Dallas, 5) COWGIRLS!(hopefully :P,) 6) a 5 bedroom house with millions of feet of room for a quarter of the price for a house here in California. Stress level of the week - 12 School started this week. I have to petition on Monday to get into the class. I had to work that day and left my coworker who has no license or car until everybody else got there to take him to the bus stop at 3PM. I get a call at 11AM saying, "Hi, we'll be late because of traffic. Back at about 4 o'clock. Yeah, can you take him to the bus stop?" Class doesn't end officially until 4:30. I have to stay the whole time to make sure I can get the class. You can see where my dilemma lies. Commence butterflies in stomach. 3 o'clock rolls by, teacher still droning on. I'm antsy because I don't want coworker to not get home after 6PM. Class gets out at 3:45PM, I call, they're back and getting him a ride to the bus. I'm getting a new job working with a friend. I need to go to the temp agency office and register. I have no car. I have to borrow one before class wherein I assume it'll take at least an hour to finish. I'm out of there in 20 minutes. I don't like getting dressy for work. I'm starting at an executive area of a mortgage company and I have to wear pants. I hate pants. Good times. I get to work with a bunch of suits. I'm getting(thankfully) a ride from said friend to work until my other autos are in working condition, ergo the new job. My main problem is the feeling of putting out said friend because she'll have to wake up at least half an hour earlier to come pick me up. She says it's ok. She's willing to do it for a professional need of a reliable and capable assistant and for a friendly favor. I don't deserve these things sometimes. I have to wake up at 5:45AM and work until 11AM when I get a ride back home. School at 12:30PM until about 5. I get my jury summons today. I really dislike authority. Especially being in the heart of corruption which is the criminal justice system. And guess what? I'm gonna be part of that. I have to wear pants for that too. I feel like a big boy with all this new responsibility and stress. I don't like it.

Feeling: edgy
I'm glad things are working out for your new job even though you have to wear pants. :-P
I have to take PE this semester. The prof is a 25 year old ex-football player. It should prove to be excruiatingly (spelling?) horrible. :-)

come to Texas. or not. probaly not.
take it easy, bud.
even though i live in ny, and i am a cowgirl ^.^
congratulations on your new job! and you get to work suits! how fancy! i used to work in a call center for bank of america, so i've worked with suits, too. i had a cubicle & everything.
that's a really tough decision...moving to oregon or texas. if i were you, i'd choose oregon. because i think it's probably really nice up there, even though it probably rains...
on the other hand i'm sure texas would be an interesting place to live. it seems like there would be more things to do there for fun.
