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!

Well, I worked for 10 and a half hours yesterday which was good because I don't want to work much this Friday... On Friday we are having a intern picnic so if I only have to go to that and not come into the office, that would be nice... Harry Potter comes out at 12:00 midnight, but if Heather wants to hang out I don't think I am going to the festivities... I preordered mine (Deluxe Edition) through Amazon.com because it was $18 cheaper then in stores... Last night I went to see the Fantastic 4... pretty good... it is unrealistic in my eyes so I liked Batman a ton better but it was still a worth while movie...

After that my uncle started talking about genealogy and I got him really excited about some things I have found out using census records... nerdy, I know, but still, genealogy is so much fun... a HUGE puzzle to solve history... I'll probably be spending a lot of time with him working on that now... Anyways, as I likely mentioned before, my friend Megan is coming to visit in the end of July and that really excites me... she is so much fun... she relaxes me too... I want her to meet Heather too... Oh well, we'll see if anything happens with Heather and I... I want to do something to night but I think she is working... I might just go sit at Chili's and let her serve me B)...
