First real day of my new job today. Prepped houses for painting for 11.5 hours straight, in the sun. Forgot sunblock on arms (only skin exposed), remembered hat. Hat kept paint chips from raining on me. That was really nice.

I've got to wake up at 5:30 every day, be at work by 7, supposed to get done at 5 unless I have to work late. No more late nights for me, at least sunday through wednesday, anyways.

Prep work is really, really tedious.

At least it pays well, if I can get faster at it.


I'll finally have money, though I'll see very little of it after I put aside most of it for college.
