Wednesday-Friday I had a migraine. Saturday I woke up shaky, but was definitely feeling better... until the fever set in. I've had a low grade fever since, and lemme tell you, it sucks. Aches, pain in my side, chills - I've had it all. And I couldn't say no to work today because my boss is out of town and he has this weird finicky rule about how two people have to be in at all times for finance in case someone wants to purchase something. Because, you know, waiting 1-3 days is awwwwful. :P
Christ on a crutch, he's insane. I don't know how long I can handle working for him, because he drives me up a wall, but I'm hoping I can either put up with it through me leaving for Australia, but if I can make it through December, I can guarantee the $5k in emergency savings I want.
I want to switch to desk security somewhere, but I'm worried the change in jobs won't look good on my Australia visa application. Right now I'm a grants assistant/administrator, and that looks good for a country that needs people who work with numbers/office paper pushers.
Will changing jobs matter for a fiancee visa? I'm going to come into the country with money in my bank account and hopefully some job prospects ready to be reaped. I don't want to screw my later for the now, but I really want/need more time to work on my writing. I'm so close to getting a publisher, and if I could get the time, this would seal it. Urgh. I worry that in the end, money, and whatever dollar amounts Matt will have to prove to allow me in, will cause a delay in us getting to move in together. They never actually stated on the visa that money proof is required, but I am concerned because I've heard others state they've had to do so in the past. And that really sucks, as I can hold my own in getting a job. Every month I'm able to save $1000 after September, so quite honestly, I'll have a nice nest egg when we move in together, lol!
I'm very thankful for my friend who's letting me room with him - because of him, my rent and utilities are basically $150 a month. Because of him, I can pile up money for my future.
I've started getting into this show called DC cupcakes, and, most embarrassingly, a show called "Whose Wedding is it Anyways?" Since I've been sick, I haven't been able to focus on anything serious, so pretty cupcakes and dumb brides are awesome when you want to hoot n holler at the screen.
Geez, I have issues.
On the plus side, I got a new haircut. I leave you with a picture.
