One Chapter Ends...

Just got finished with family tidings for the Thanksgiving season, and at the same time, my temporary 'placement specialist' job has also drawn to a very sad close. What a seriously and surprisingly awesome job it was while it lasted. Yet another desk job (how do I keep getting them?) and another job where I was the youngest person working. I managed to meet some really cool people in conjunction with some very odd characters, and now, I'll be moving on to the warehouse.

It's going to be x-core manual labor for the next month, and boy am I not excited.


Come Christmastime, Brandon and I will most likely have the amount of money we need to set out on our new adventure, but ever-cautious, Brandon says we should keep working through January as well. Ugh, man. I don't know what will come of this new temp job, but I'm positive it won't last much longer than Christmas. So we'll have to get other jobs at the beginning of the year. But then, when all is said and done, we'll finally be able to leave!

Watch out, Pacific Northwest. The former FromTheVan-ners are headed out west in only a few more months. What are we going to do? I don't even fucking know. Oh, man, I'm excited.

Stockholm

I've been working like crazy for the past couple of weeks, but it's only a temp job, so I'm sure it won't be too much longer. I just wanted to mention that the sun sets in Stockholm around 3:30 in the afternoon now.
