Working hard for the lack of money

Well, day 3 of the new job is going well. So far, I'm keeping with my routine, which is nice. I took the bus yesterday and that went well. However, today I drove because I have a party to go to post-work. Gingerman, here I come!

I feel finincially crushed right now. I don't get my first paycheck from here until the 22nd because their pay period is every two weeks and this Friday is the end of one. That's kind of intense. I'm also salaried now, so that'll be weird to not fill out a timecard anymore. I get my last paycheck from the Statesman next week, so that'll supplement my lack of money situation. It feels weird to be working and not receiving technical compensation from it.

Last night, we cooked Lemon Chicken and Chive Pasta, which ended up great once we added some Parmasean cheese. It's amazing what cheese can do to a recipe. Last night we made Fiesta Chicken Wraps (pictured right). It was awesome. I brought the leftovers today for lunch.

I have a window next to my desk which faces MLK Jr. It's pretty awesome. And, I'm in a corner. Does that mean I have a corner, glass office? I'm thinking so. Damn, and I get business cards in a couple of weeks. It sounds like I actually have a career now.
