work is postponed...again!!

i finally got the start date of my job: december 18th. first they said i'd probably start in late oct/early nov, then nov 13, then early dec, and now dec 18th. why the delay?? "credentialing" was their reason...they have to do background checks on everything!!! it's such a pain...and of course the recruitment office doesn't care that i'm sitting at home getting poorer by the day. =( but now it's pretty set at 12/18, which means i at least get some xmas/new years pay, so that's good. so 3 more weeks of vacation, but i don't think i'll make any more travelling plans. #1, i'm seriously broke (school loans, new car, and insurance), and #2, with the little money i have, i think i'll spend it on black friday and get me some nice gadgets (want ipod, new cell phone, leather chair, portable gps--you guys all know i need it!). not all at once of course! so that's it for the newest news.

as for my daily life, there is nothing to report...so sad to waste these lovely free days away, but i just don't have that energy/time to make plans. plus it's getting brrrrrr colder by the days. but i know several of my friends are back for the turkey wknd, so gimme a call if you want to hang out.

oh, and new car update: will probably get the mazda 3 in metallic icy blue (baby blue). after much calling, finally got it from a dealer in so-cal for $300 under invoice, plus a $250 coupon off that, so i save $550 below invoice!! =) unfortunately it will have to be towed up to nor-cal, but he said he'd do it for free and no miles will be added to car. but for $550 below invoice (the best quote in nor-cal is $300 OVER invoice), i had to take it. hopefully everything the dealer said is true....we'll see!
