The DMV

Actually, the OHP office because I guess you can't get you license at the DMV anymore. I know that going to the DMV or anyplace in regards to ones driver's license is a huge pain but I just had to bring up two happenings in my trip there.

1. Their computers were down, and had been all day. At what point should they have said, "Maybe we should just close up until our computers come back online." , Their computers hadn't been down 20 minutes or even an hour but since 7 a.m. 
And the woman who gave me a clipboard to fill out didn't even tell me their computers were down. I had to hear it from the ancient security guard who was helping people after she went on break.  So I waited about 30 minutes to see if their computers would come back up, but no such luck. So I went to Sonic and got a Route 44 Coke! 

2. Apparently there is an anti-obscenity law on the books in Oklahoma, (which I vaguely remembered because a number of musical performers have been arrested in Oklahoma for swearing on stage.) I'm not going to get into the ridiculousness of this law overall but the OHP office had it posted by their door and after reading it I was highly offended by the law itself. It stated that it was illegal to use profanity or any lascivious language around women or children under 10 years of age. Okay, not swearing around kids is great and I generally avoid swearing anywhere where children are, but not swearing around women? What the hell? I hope this law is extremely old and dates mack to the times when we women folk generally stayed uneducated, barefoot, and pregnant.

So I'm back in Oklahoma. 

Now I get your joke, but we haven't been gypped, I think a lot of people probably write about scooters.

4 days

Marty got a job in downtown OKC!! Its a really great job with a place called Skyline Ink (yes INK) they do a lot of 3d stuff and are in the conceptual stages of a short film so its a great career move for him! I'm so proud of him! 
We're moving out of our place on Friday. I was talking to the maintenance guy today and he said like 10 apartments are being vacated this month, our upstairs and next door neighbors have both moved out already. I think its just Payson, 30% of the population is over 65 here and it seems that most of the younger people are moving away. Also, most of the people our age have kids and have been divorced at least once. I'm sad that we're moving away from Marty's folks because they're great, but we really had to get away from here. 

I'm really excited, nervous, and scared about this move!

This is getting interesting

I've got a job interview next friday, I'm pretty nervous and excited because I would really like to get this job. Marty is coming with me even though he doesn't have any interviews set up. Although, as we speak he is apply for a few jobs in the OKC area. 

It would be really awesome if we both found jobs at the same time, but if I had to choose I would rather Marty find a good job than myself, seeing as he makes a lot more money than I do. And if I got a job first I would have to move out to OKC by myself while he looks for jobs! I've been going pretty much crazy for the last few weeks about all of this. I'm really looking forward to it, but I know its going to be a huge pain to actually move hopefully my dad will be able to help us move so it won't destroy our savings.

I need a nap

Weekend

Its Friday! I only had a 4 day week this week but Monday was spent driving for 12 hours so it wasn't very relaxing. I should really do some cleaning or something this weekend but I don't really feel like it. I'll try to make myself vacuum at least.

Marty and I are starting to gear up for our moving plan. Our lease is up at the end of December, so job hunting is beginning now... sort of. I'm thinking about packing up some of our stuff now, like summer clothes and books. Maybe I should get some of those vacuum bags for clothes, it'll probably wrinkle my clothes like crazy but maybe it would save some space. There's so much to think about!

Guess what!?

Its cold out! yaaaaay!

I've also come to the startling realization that I am a bitch... no, not startling, not very startling at least. I'm just the one who has to be the mean boss so I don't lose my damn job. I just don't get why someone thinks I'll bend the rules so they don't get fired when if I do I'd get fired. What is the thought process there? "Maybe she doesn't realize checking in a movie that's not really here would get her fired, and I could keep my job even though I'm a tard." Okay the tard part is a little out of line, but if you knew this piece of work (yes, piece of work) you would feel my pain. I guess blockbuster doesn't necessarily attract the best and brightest, although I do enjoy a few of the people there and feel that they shouldn't be working for blockbuster because they're far too educated and experienced to be re shelving movies and informing dirty old men that we do not carry porn.

I'm looking forward to Thanksgiving! and once we get back from Colorado operation Move Back to Oklahoma (I'm open to different names) goes into full effect!

Why is it 76 degrees outside? Its November, it should be all cold out, possibly even snowing! I miss my scarves and pea coat
