Swinging Through the Summer

I have been having fun the past few weeks. Last week after a trip to Madison with Tim we went to The Show Boat with Tony to see Swing Crew. They are a drinking band from here in Wisconsin, and they play every tuesday during the summer at The Show Boat in Wisconsin Dells. Tim liked them so much he decided to come along to see them during Canal Days on Friday. At one point we got him to go up on stage with them to do a song. He played the Belly Bongo during the song “My Ding-a-ling“. We went and saw them this past Tuesday too, and plan to next Tuesday!

In other news, I have a job! It is a full time job working in the in-house design team of SVA. I will be mostly doing production work, and a little designing. I think it will be a great opportunity for me to get into the industry and see what it can be like. I start on June 11th. Time to get my sleep schedule fixed! 🙂

In really old events…

I never made a post about the Party my teacher Emmalee had at the end of school for the ViComm students. It was tons’o fun. I learned I like Hummuse and Chunky Guacamole, at least the kinds Emmalee makes. The stuff in the Wikipedia link looks nothing like what she had there.

Afterword I went and hung out with some of the ViComm peeps. That was a blast. Though I now know Fleischman’s can give you a nasty head-ache the next day. I need to find a time to hang out with em again :). Also can’t wait for game night at Emmalee’s.

I’m a Clerk now.

Well, I got the job. Last night I went in for the interview, and started right after it.

I worked with Darryl, and he showed me all the things I gotta do. Nothing too hard, its just remembering them all! I seem to have gotten the hang of the method the Cash Register works in, I just now need to remember where all the buttons are. The manager seems like a really nice person! She is flexible with hours, very trusting, easy to talk to.

And now I work Friday, then saturday and sunday. Then after that I have my first night alone on the 20th. I hope I get things all figured out before then.

Oh, and I am making $7.50 an hour, with it going up to $8.00 an hour after a month! $7.50hr is much more than I got at ace, and $8.00hr is just crazy! At least for a living at home College student. I guess.

And you know, the night before the interview I realised I would essentially be like the guys in ‘Clerks’. After spending a night there, it does feel like that.

Thanks again Darryl for the job!

Snooch to the booch!
