Well I've finally gotten a job, hence why we have the car. Victoria's Secrets finally hired me. Oh fun. I do have a lot of hours next week though and I really need the money so it's good. I don't know how it'll go the following week. John's family is visiting and I don't know how to call off yet. They don't like to do it online. However my availability finally got accepted so if I do work, I'll be off in the evenings. It's Hawaii though, no one is at a loss of something to do in Hawaii. I KNOW I'll be working Black Friday though. It's Black Friday. Pretty much everyone works then. I hope that weeks goes smoothly. Ah and I just checked my past entries. I did mention the job part, oh well. I didn't mention that I'm working soley in Intimates! I'm excited. I won't be working cash register unless I specifically volunteer and they need someone which is rare. I'm happy about that, I always hated that section.
John is currently gone on Sea Trials. I don't have much worry about him not being here when the family comes though. It's my understanding that he'll be around then and then off again soon afterwards for a little while. Things change constantly but there's no rumors of him being gone so that's good. No worries for the fam. He's taken over as Electrical Officer so he was rushed off to the second half of fast cruise and it became a definite that he would be gone this week. It's good that he has a job now. I got a short e-mail this morning saying that he's doing really well on quals while being out there as well, so I know that makes him happy.
I'm currently taking today off from everything. For the first month I had intense cabin fever but today I want to be alone and do nothing. I've made a very close friend, Cayley Gamache and we've spent most of the past two weeks or so together haha. Pretty much ever since we met, whenever that was. She's been in the same predicament as me, carless and jobless and boyfriend off working on the Cheyenne so we've just hung around together, which has made it a lot nicer. And, yes, oddly enough her boyfriend is on the same boat as John's! He's an enlisted Radioman. It turns out he and a few of his friends all moved into this complex together so there are a lot of Cheyenne guys here.
Oh! I'm very excited for Christmas standdown, whenever that starts. We signed up for Scuba lessons! There was a 50% off sale for the lessons to get our certificates. We had to buy the lessons during the sale but we're allowed to schedule the classes whenever we can take them. It's a great deal. Two people for the price of one! All we need are snorkles, masks, fins, and a slightly pricey guide book. We already had the first three. Everything else is lended and we can rent them later if we want to go diving afterwards. I'm hoping that after I get my certificate that I can find a job using it. Maybe at the aquarium or one of the sea parks. That would truly be awesome. I'm basically using VS as income until I find something more solid.
I don't suppose much else is new. John is off being Electrical Officer, I'm now a Sales associate driving a wonderful new (new to me..) BMW, and we're going to be Scuba Divers by next year!
I know it's been a while since I updated. There hasn't been much to report on. Like I said earlier, I've mainly been hanging around the complex with Cayley. However today I'm taking the day to myself so I can clean and have everything nice since I know I won't want to do anything during the week next week.
Ok I'm off.
Have a great day!
Love,
Mer
