Sixty-Seventh Entry

A whoooooooole lot has happened since I last wrote.

-I got a job.
-I have driven close to 2000 miles.
-I have developed a new addiction.

-I got a job.
I found out on Monday, August 5th while Louis and Lamar were at my house using my brothers computer to work on Louis' campaign statement. I got a job working with the County of Tulare as an Engineer 1. I waited a while before I told anyone because I wanted to do it all at the same time. I wanted everyone to go with me to Margies Diner in Salinas, but only 4 people could go. Thats alright, we went anyway, and I told everyone else at other times during the day. I am extremely happy that I have finally got a job and that I now get to live near my family in Tulare. I am not exactly sure as to what I will be doing, but I know that it is engineering related. My first day is August 26th, but it will only be an orientation day. I get to watch a lot of videos and fill out paperwork about them. They probably have to do with work safety and sexual harassment type things.

-I have driven close to 2000 miles.

As a result of my new job, I have been to Tulare 3 times in just 2 weeks. Once for my second interview, once to fill out the paperwork like W4 and stuff as well as take a county physical, and once to check out some places to live. Compounded with driving Firmino to and from practice in Livermore for a whole week and various outings, that adds up to about 2000 miles. And there are so many more miles to be driven by me(moving, visiting, etc.) By the way, I liked the apartment I saw and will be moving into it in the middle of September.

-I have developed a new addiction.

And this addiction is to Big Brother 3 Updates on the web. www.bb3updates.com is the website that I frequent about a dozen times a day to find out the latest from the people who have the live feeds over the internet. The TV show has just become the icing on the cake as far as I'm concerned. But, for the few weeks that I am not going to have internet, when I am at my grandmothers house, I am going to suffer severe withdrawals. Oh well, I guess I will have to find out about BB happenings the old fashioned way by watching the show.
I am severely rooting for a Danielle, Jason and Amy/Lisa final three. I fear that one of these will be replaced with Gerry. Everyone thinks they can beat Gerry in the final two.
I am very afraid to find out who Amy will nominate tomorrow. She is leaning toward Jason and Chiara. Marcellas does not want to look like he is trying to change Amy's decision which makes me think that he would be OK with Jason leaving. What happened to the alliance??? If it wasn't for Roddy pulling Amy's strings, Jason would have been no where near the chopping block. If Jason is nominated, Roddy will waste no time painting him out to be a bad guy like he did with his 'fake' attack on Josh. Roddy wanted to ensure that Josh get evicted so he yelled at him and before long the scene was like a Two-Minute Hate from 1984 with Marcellas yelling at him too. Roddy needs to go now, I blame it all on him.
And what is it with this Lisa flirting with Roddy thing? Is she trying to play him, or is he charming her into his dark side?? Too much going on. Its like slowing down to gawk at a car accident on the road.
