This is my story.

As I posted a while ago, I was hired at a new job after over a year of unemployment/part-time employment. The second week is almost over and I think I'm doing well. My supervisor walked by my desk this morning and said someone was bragging about me, meaning my trainer. I guess based on past new hires, I'm catching on to procedures quickly and not needing to ask too many questions. It's not a difficult job at all, so far. I've heard them talking about some stuff that's apparently more complicated, but I've got a 90-day probationary training period. So I'm sure I'll be fine. My trainer had to leave early today for her regular dialysis treatment and she left me alone with some tasks to do. I'm pretty sure I did everything correctly while I was on my own. I guess we'll see tomorrow when she double-checks my work.

The rest of life is pretty typical. I'm still going to work at Pizza Hut every Sunday and every other Friday. The choir concert went very well. We'll be singing at both St. Louis Pride and Metro-East Pride in June, and then we'll be on summer hiatus. My bowling league is on summer break. My life is pretty much just going to be work and some social engagements here and there.

Life isn't too bad for me right now. The only real stress-point continues to be finances. I racked up a lot of debt over the past year, and when I get my first pay check from the new job, I'm going to figure out how much money I'm going to have to divide amongst the credit card companies once all the other bills are paid. I'm really not sure what I'm going to be able to do. I doubt I'll be making enough to make any kind of progress on my credit card bills. I fear I might not have enough left over each month to even pay the interest on each card, let alone minimum payments. I guess we'll see in about a week.
