My first weekend as a full-timer was a success. I actually spent a good chunk of money on "work" clothes - lucky for me, that is just under business casual. So I got 3 semi-nice shirts (which really simply means no screen tees or offensive clothing) and two pairs of pants, a black dressy-ish pair and some dark-washed jeans. The jeans are from Vanity, the first pair of jeans I've bought since as long as I can remember that exceed $15-$25; it was definitely a "splurge" in that department. But I'm sooo happy with them! They're a couple inches too long - I've got woefully short legs! I bought a 27x31 but I'm pretty sure my legs are a 29. So I'm going to try to wear my boots as much as possible with them so I don't wear out the bottoms so quickly. But otherwise they fit super, super nice. The girl who helped me was INCREDIBLY eager to help me find the right pants and immediately picked out the style for "hourglass" figures, which turned out great because there's little enough gap in the back that I don't have to wear a belt for once! Yay! Belts are so ugly underneath shirts.
We also went to the zoo for a little while. It was really hot out and began to storm really hard so we cut the trip short and booked it to my car. We spent more time making fun of various other people there than looking at the animals. It was a good time. By far the winners of the day go to the orangutans. Mama and baby were SO cute playing with each other, and Dad CLEARLY had a headache or was sick of his family/life atm because he was slumped forward onto a tree stump, his head in his arm, not having any fun at all.
Steve goes back to work tomorrow, lame! But when we were at Rainbow the other day picking up drinks, one of his coworkers who works the end of the evening shift and continues to the night shift, said a guy on the overnight shift is leaving because he just got called to Active duty! Yay! The overnight manager and Steve's manager have already said he could move to overnights if a spot opened up, and so I guess starting tomorrow it's a waiting game to see if they keep that promise.
