Well, I called the lady at Camera Concepts on Friday. She said she'd been doing some thinking, and would probably be restructuring the open position. As a result, she won't be making a decision for a couple of weeks. She said she'd call me. Yeah, sure. I'll call her if I haven't heard from her by Aug 1.
On a more positive note, a former coworker of mine will be coming back to work soon. This is very good news, for a couple of reasons. First, I miss the girl, she makes me laugh. Second, she'll take over second shift, so Jim and I will both be on third. This means we'll be able to use only one vehicle, and will be able to afford things like...food...lol. Or an occasional night on the town. The manager says she'll try to make sure Jim still has at least 35 hours a week. So, our budget should stay about the same. The best part about this is that if we're both on the same shift, we'll see a LOT more of each other. Right now, I get home from work at about 8:30am. Jim wakes up (sort of) and talks to me for a little bit. He gets up, and I go to sleep. Later that day, Jim wakes me up to tell me he's going to work, and I get up. I putter around for a while, and I usually end up calling Jim at work. Sometimes, I go and pick up (or fix, God help us both) dinner, and take it to him. Then, at about 10:45, I go to work. Jim comes home about 11:30. So, on a typical day, we spend about an hour together, sometimes up to three. We rarely have days off together, when I have a day off, Jim works my shift. On his day(s) off we see more of each other, but still no more than about 5 hours. How on earth we can call that a relationship, I don't know. But, we're doing the best we can. Things are bound to get better before too long. God willing, they won't get much worse.
