Work at Home

My manager here at Freescale was nice enough to suggest to Human Resources that I am somebody they must hire next Summer... even if it isn't for him... That made me feel good about the work I did here... theoretically I saved him about 8 hours of his time a week by automating most of the Excel files he uses... Well, he is worried that when his needs change, he won't have a tool that would suit his needs anymore... So, he is trying to get me hired as a contract employee where I could work, when necessary from Tallahassee... I just hope "when necessary" is at least 5-10 hours a month so that I can make just a little more money then I will be spending... That way I wouldn't tap into all the money I saved over the summer, like I had planned...

Once I see how much I'll be working (if this all works out), then I can buy the projector I want for my living room... which I have been about to buy for 3 months now, but every time I do, I think of how I need to save the money I am making or I won't make it all the way through Grad School...

Anyways, I cancelled the order of the 8 piece KitchenAid pot set... only to order a 10 piece instead... it cost me $25 less because there is a new promotion at Amazon that if you spend $125 in Kitchen supplies, you get $25 off instantly... and this is on top of another deal where you get $20 gift card in 4-8 weeks from now if you spend more then $100 on pots and pans... and on top of this, it was already nearly 60% off... so, in the end, I got a $380 pot set for $105... not bad if you ask me... of course, since I was saving $25 I decide to buy a little more... so I bought a 8 person silverware set... and another set of kitchen utensils (peeler, can opener, etc...) by KitchenAid because it too was on sale, and I need it... I am sick of the crappy kitchen supplies I have... I can't wait to get to Tallahassee and start cooking up some goodness... I think I am going to buy some cookbooks, or at least download some recipes from online... if you have any good (and for now, easy) ones you'd like to share, leave them as a comment on this post! I'll appreciate it!
