It's that time of year. Six months after graduation. Not only is it a time of eating turkey and trimmings, but the time when the student loan bills start coming in. Fortunately, I won't have to defer any payments. I'm grateful that I was able to find a job that required more than just walking in the door (even though I never had to show my transcripts to Consolidated Container, you get the idea though).
The Thomas Estate is just about perfect. I only need Property Management to give me keys that fit all the locks. Currently, only the deadbolts will open with my keys. The garage door has been correctly installed and now I can enjoy getting in my nice, warm car on a cold rainy day. No more iced windshields!!!
All that is left on my end is to get a master bedroom suit. I've been eyeing a mattress and bed set in the Hemnes collection for quite some time. I'm just holding off because I'm waiting on my first round of bills to come in. The cable already had a nice $60 up-charge for installation. I'm sure that the power and gas will have similar. I still have to get my tags and I have no idea how much that will cost.
However, I did spring to get an eye exam and new contacts. Going on a year with my 30 day set has been a pain. Now that I have insurance and monies, I could finally get some.
I get 100% paid preventative dental, too. I'll be getting my grill cleaned next week. One thing I never got was people would brush and floss like crazy before going in for a teeth cleaning. That's like weeding your garden before the landscaper comes. I mean you paying him to do a service. Might as well get your money's worth...
Next week my boss will be in town and we are heading to the two plants close to the Atlanta area to evaluate the lighting situation. Thursday I may take a trip to Pittsburgh to determine if the current air compressor capacity is adequate to add new machines to (OMG a calculation!!), but this request came from another Project Engineer in another group. Since my boss is keeping me under his wing for the first bit I'm there I may not go. We'll see.
Today I'm going to try my hand at making cornbread. I will also make a side of kielbasa and mac n cheez to go with it (:
