Really ought to use this more

Granted, I'm also a slackass when it comes to updating my LiveJournal, so I can't imagine I'll ever be good about using two journals. And not that there are that many people reading this anyways.
Last week was long and busy as I started work at the newly procured job. It's busy, fun, and pays pretty well. More importantly, it gets me out of the house and earning money. Hopefully I'll see a paycheck this coming week. Now if I can only get them to allow me to use direct deposit since my bank doesn't have any branches near me at all. Mailing the paychecks out to be deposited is a pain in the ass and takes 2-3 days.
The fact that it took me this long to finally get a job means my plans to move out to the city this summer when the lease at this apartment is up are pushed off for a while. It'll be better that way. More time to save money to make the move easier.
This weekend has been pretty boring all told. I've spent today annoyed because of roommate stupidity followed up by a friend being a jackass. This friend had begged me for weeks to install Second Life and come play with him. We met and became friends on a moderated roleplaying chat a few years ago. So I finally relented, figuring it'd be nice to RP with him again, since that's what he wanted to do. So I install the program and go through hell trying to configure it so that my laptop doesn't choke horribly on it. Took forever to finally get the settings JUST right, but I did so. The whole time, my friend is chomping at the bit and bugging me constantly.
So once I finally get things settled and log on to start getting the hang of things today...my friend pretty much ignores me all day long because he's busy RPing. I think I'm justified in being pissed off as he was the one who wanted me to install SL, made all kinds of promises about helping me get set up with avatars and animations and such. And when the time comes for him to follow through, he doesn't do shit. I'm tempted to uninstall the friggin' thing and be done with it. Instead, I'll go put my laundry in the dryer and chill out some.
