All right, so...

meitantei_cjAfter leaving work early on Friday and having a long weekend, I'm really dreading work tomorrow. More than usual... especially since I still have all those stupid cases to go through, and Joan will definitely be in and will bother me about the other cases we've been working on for two or three weeks now. I wish I could just look her dead in the eye and tell her, "Fuck off, I have more than enough work to do right now."
If it weren't for the fact that I pay rent and it helps Mom out so much, I'd stop working at the end of June. I'd save my money up, make the last two payments to AIS, and keep the rest of the money for any little expenses I have. I wouldn't be going anywhere, so I wouldn't have to worry about monthly MetroCards. I wouldn't really be spending any money. I'd be home, so I could either spend the time in PA, or meet Mom on Friday mornings and travel up there with her.
Anyway... going to get my butt in gear with the whole driver's license thing. Dad came into my room before we left PA today and said once I get the post office job, I could see if there are any openings upstate, in Orange County. The cost of living might mess up my chances of transferring to the area I'm after in PA: We don't spend as much up there, and Mom said a friend of hers tried to transfer to Virginia from here, and the postmaster didn't want to pay her NY salary. If I go to Orange County, it's not exactly the city, but the cost of living is still higher than it is around Lake Ariel and Scranton and such... He said he'd help me practice once I got my learner's permit.
I want all of this to kick into gear already. I'm tired of waiting. Unforunately, I have to do three weeks of that just to get my score. I know I did well, but I want to know exactly what I got. I want to know if it's a matter of being called as soon as they need someone, or waiting a bit once they start pulling from the list. My gut tells me it's the former. I think I aced that test.
Going to try not to take more time off. I want to see if I can get the week of July 4th off. Mom has that week off. That and a week in August... but 7/4 would be better. And Mom already said we'd go to Six Flags if I get the week. Kingda Ka, baby. I keep saying it looks a little too wild for me, but neither of my parents is convinced of that.
