Time is Money, right?

So it seems I will be making a pretty decent amount of money soon. Yesterday I started working at a luxury home furnishings company called Restoration Hardware. I'd hadn't heard of it before I applied, most likely because I don't imagine ever having enough income to justify spending huge amounts of money on furniture like the stuff the sell there. Not that the products are poor quality or anything, I just don't think I'll ever have a job that would support stuff like that and even if I did I just don't have the kind of mindset that would allow me to buy such expensive stuff.
Next Monday I'm also gonna start working at Borders across from Murderkroger. And yes that means people will be getting books for Christmas. Both jobs seems like they'll be a lot of fun and will keep me out of the house enough to not drive Michelle crazy. Plus they'll allow me to tackle my credit cards and other assorted bills so yay.
Aside from the fact that I will have significantly less free time to sit on my ass and play fallout ( looking forward to new vegas though) it looks like I will have a lot more time to chill before I leave for the peace corps. I finally got in touch with placement today and they said they will be reviewing my file in the next two weeks and will put me in contact with a placement officer soon. They also said that they will be looking to find me a new trip to go on in a potentially different region ( I said I had global availability) because the new trip would leave anywhere from Jan- March.
All in all the last few weeks have been pretty good and despite the set backs I'm still really pumped about the peace corps.
