Courtney is about to quit but she's got that other job working with Kids.

Eric moved to New Mexico because he says cost of living is cheaper.

I think i'm ready to move on too. Not having enough money for anything i enjoy is slowly taking a toll on me now. I hardly have enough to splurge on something i might like. In the 2 years i've worked there, i hardly make up vacation time, certain periods don't give me enough hours and some days i can't even sleep.

So, i've seriously considered working for AAFES. Ash has worked there for a few years and she's offered me the chance to apply there. They pay i'm sure is set, waaaaaaay more than i make now, vacation time, great benefits. I'd love the idea of accumulating a nice chunk of vacation hours so i can finally travel and not have to worry about money so much.

I haven't told mom of dad about it. I want to keep it to myself. If i tell either of them now, they will keep asking me and annoying me. I'd rather look into it myself, ask all the questions i need to ask, get informed and go from there.

Funny thing, about 2 or 3 weeks ago, my cousin Denisse told me she had a dream where i told her i had a new job and they were paying me 13-something an hour. I don't want to jinx anything, or even believe that there is such a thing as "jinxing" something but i'm ready for change. I'm ready to have enough money for things, i'm ready to go off and see new places with my best friend.

I just needed the right opportunity.
