Spring might be here, but I can't tell

In Hawaii it's all the same. I guess precipitation amount may vary a bit by "season", as well as flora varieties, but, meh. I don't care. It's not seasons worth my attention.

I'm working again. This is my longest job since the military. It's still a temp job, but it's lasted 5 weeks so far. It should be done soon, and after that, I FINALLY GET TO VISIT MAINLAND!!

I have some other things to attend before I leave, too, but knowing I can afford it, and that it WILL happen in the next few months is good.

This job is pretty good. Especially compared to my last one. But cleaning toilets would have been desirable compared to my last one. It was at an H&RBlock set up in a PX Customer Service area. Not in a separate area, but right where people go to make returns, get money orders, etc. Ridiculous. Besides, I was completely under-trained, worked with morons, didn't have internet half the time (which was vital in doing my job!) and the phones didn't work often, as well. To top it all off, people were not only in the customer service area with screaming, bratty children, but THEY BROUGHT THEIR KIDS WITH TO GET TAXES DONE. One woman gave her kids a KAZOO to play with! What the hell?? I had a headache every single day, and was thrilled to be able to leave to have my wisdom teeth extracted - and never come back, because I got my current job offer right after!

I'm working as a DoD contractor, and it's cool to be working with so many former military people. Even the military spouses are okay here - not the typical ones that drive me freakin' crazy. I do my job in a 'secure' building, so I get to feel all important, but really, I just scan documents and shred things all day. It's super-easy and: pays almost 3 times what I was making at H&R. It is my belief I was underpaid there, and probably overpaid here, but I am so okay with that. :) I've paid my dues, and it's only a temp job, so I don't feel too guilty.

I still think school is an option for the fall. I need to resubmit my fafsa with this years tax info - which will get me even less money - :( and call the community college - they don't have their deadlines posted online. They have the ones for the spring semester that were back in January. Typical Hawaii. I figure with the economy what it is, and getting a job (particularly one near me) so difficult, I might as well at least try to knock out an associates before heading back to the mainland in 2 years. It might make me a bit more marketable then.

Today has been a bit sucky. Starting yesterday, I've had 'stomach issues' that are either the flu or the by-product of just starting to take Hydroxycut. Either way, I'm permanently discontinuing the Hydroxycut, and wouldn't recommend to anyone.

It's time for me to drink some more gatorade and rest again.
