Moved to SLT

I haven't been able to blog in a while since I moved to South Lake Tahoe last week because apparently it takes two weeks to get the internet installed here in SLT. Better yet they wanted to charge me for $50 for a professional installation between the hours of 8-10am. Around 10:30 I called the cable company and ask the lady if she was a professional. She answered with a confused yes. Then I asked "Do professionals show up on time?" Another confused yes. "Then explain to me why I should pay $50 for a professional installation? When clearly I'm only getting a amateur installation." Needless to say that the $50 installation fee was waived, all because I was pissed about waiting all morning just wanting to play Mario Kart online.
Enough about me being an asshole and what I have been doing the past week; looking for some steady work.
The job at the rental shop is a go, but I will not start till next week. But I really need to find that 2nd job so I will be able financially survive the next 6 months. I just haven’t been super motivated because my bank account is doing fine and it really competitive to find a job here in SLT. All the restaurants I have applied for are getting hundreds of applicants for just a handful of jobs. Most places are telling me to come back or contact them in a week when they have a better idea of if they will need to hire more help. So I just to find a place to bother until they give me a part time job. I know something will find something once I become urgent about money, but for now just been reading and writing all day.
It has been super hot here, 60 degrees the last two days and all the snow that was dumped on us over Christmas has melted back into the lake by now. It's a shame I wasn't able to ski when there was over a foot of powder, but my time will come. I couldn't allow myself to start skiing because I would spend all my money on lift tickets. I need to wait to start at the rental shop and get that free pass for Heavenly.
Besides my half ass attempt to find a 2nd job life has been great up here. The always beautiful Lauren Dickinson helped me move up here and was a big help with keeping me awake during the 13 hour drive. It was nice to have her around helping me unpack and get my place together. I was a little lonely on Christmas being by myself, but it was my own doing so it didn’t hurt. If I was alone on Christmas because I had no family or friends then I would have been sad, but I was alone because I choose to be alone. I went to the sports book and made a few bets then treated myself to the buffet at Harrah’s on Christmas and really had a good day for myself. Kevin and David showed up a few days later and really helped making our new place feel homier. I had no real furniture for the first week and was sleeping on an air mattress, which wasn’t too uncomfortable but just really cold sleeping on the ground. Thankfully Kevin was able to get an extra bed from his cousin’s place in Meyers and now I sleep in a nice double bed. I was able to find David a twin bed for free on CL and drove up to Kings Beach with Kevin to collect it. Thank god I was able to get the twin bed because most likely David would of gotten the double and I would still be sleeping on an air mattress.
Speaking of jobs and David that son of a bitch got one in 24 hours. As a breakfast chef at Bear Beach Café, where I applied the week before. David just got lucky and went in as one of the cooks was quitting and they needed someone for that shift and hired David on the spot and was working a few minutes later. Needless to say David all ready hates the job and will probably quit once he finds a better job.
