So much for anonymity...

My cheese factory training was officially over as of yesterday afternoon. In actuality, it was over last week. My trainer hasn't shown me anything new or taught me anything since then. Yesterday he realized this and made it official. He wasn't sure what the powers that be were planning on doing with me since he informed them of this, so I'll continue to work mornings on the same line until they decide and inform me of what the next step is. They can keep me on that line for as long as they want. I know what I'm doing on it, I enjoy it, and I don't really want to start over learning a new line with new people any time soon. Anyway, so there's that. It's not a difficult job. It's not stressful. I enjoy it. Hopefully, I'll be getting more money for doing it soon. Everything is good. I even like working morning shift for the first time in history, even though I have to wake up at 5am to get ready for work. It's nice coming home while the sun is still up and things are still open in case I need to run some errands.

Paid my monthly bills yesterday afternoon before I passed out. Working over time made it possible for me to do this and still have some money left over. It wasn't enough to also pay my income taxes, but those will be taken care of next week. Not a big deal. Unemployment benefits are lovely when you need them, but not so favorable to your income tax return when they form the entirety of your income for half a year - and the majority of your income for the whole year even after you stop being able to claim them.

Blogger/blogspot has merged with Google+. I'm a little freaked out by the loss of my anonymity. Notice now that every post is copyrighted by me. I do not like that. I haven't posted as me since MySpace was the primary social network and EVERYONE was on it. It's hard to believe such a time ever was.
