i shouldn't have invested all that $ into my bathroom...

Just finished loading up all my things into my dad's truck (minus about four boxes, a bike, and some patio furniture that wouldn't fit). Turns out it's significantly cheaper to rent a storage unit in Bakersfield than it is to rent one in South Gate. So that's the plan. All that's left in my room are a couple suitcases and a backpack full of stuff that I'll be keeping with me wherever I am for the next year. And my bed. I'll be moving my bed over to my Aunt, Debbie's house sometime in the next couple days. The plan is to do the store-opening at Morongo August 1st-19th, then go hang out at mom and dad's for a couple days, and then move in with my Aunt until the end of September...and after that, I will find a new place to stop on my nomadic adventure.

The weirdest feeling is knowing that there is a big truck and a big trailer full of stuff that I have determined that I will not need for the next year. It makes me wonder why I'm keeping all that stuff at all. I mean, I realize that when I do end up living in one place that's my own place, I will most likely want to have dishes and a microwave and a dresser and things like that. It just feels weird to know that there's a whole big load of things that I know I don't need...I just have them.

So Edward, my boss, called me today to let me know what The Plan is. The Plan as of right now is to meet at the Ruby's at the Casino Morongo at 9:00am Wednesday, August 1. The other part of The Plan is that it's T-Shirt day...so I can wear something comfortable. And the last part of The Plan is that I will receive all the rest of the information that I will need when I show up to that meeting. So...based on the extensive detail of The Plan and considering that all of this begins in a few days, I can already see that this job will require a lot of flexibility, a lot of "going with the flow", and a lot of just being prepared to do whatever gets thrown at me. good times. I'm looking forward to all this. it will be a totally new experience, but it will involve me doing all the things i'm already good at doing, using procedures that i'm already good at using. does that make sense?

I hope that whatever hotel they put me up at has got The Wireless. If not, I will have to find a starbucks in the area or somewhere I can go to keep you all updated on what I'm doing at the casino (winning big).
