And . . . go!

Well, I have finally gotten with the times and purchased myself (or rather had my mom front me the money) a cell phone. All of my friends at school were slightly annoyed that I didn't have one, and thus pestered me to get one. Recently my mom got it into her head that I probably needed one, and kept asking me about it. So, we went to Best Buy, looked at cell phones, house stereos, and watched Fance beat Brazil in the World Cup (pretty big upset there, but it was an interesting game to watch). I ended up getting a Virgin Mobile camera phone (prepaid track phone kind of deal), that is identical to my sister's. Right now, I am trying to figure out how I want to activate it - there are so many choices, and all of them are stupid! I'm on the site right now, and all they want you to do is pay them as much money as possible. Gah, I hate consumerism.

On a different note, I hate my job. It has been raining on and off again (with the rain being accompanied by huge thunderstorms), and all the work I am supposed to be doing is outside. The ground at the house where I'm working is soaking (ie, everytime I take a step, it squishes). I'm supposed to be weeding, and digging a ditch. The ditch is mostly dug, and the weeding just plain sucks. I also figured out that at the rate she is paying me, it takes half an hours work to pay for my gas to get to and from work. That is totally not worth it to me. I'm going to talk to her the next time I go and see if she can either give me a big time raise, or have me do other work. Ugh.

I think I was going to write more, but I got distracted by having dinner.
