Weekend!

Filed under: Life in general

What a crazy few weeks of work I would say.  It’s not so much the work, but the vacation.  Now, during the interim, I’m on reduced hours.  Which is nice that I get an extra day, but not so nice that I loose the day pay.  But (Starting on Sat, June 30) I had 2 days off, worked two days (Mon, Tue), had 1 Day off (the 4th) worked one 1 day, have a three day weekend, work three days (next Mon-Wed), and I’m taking next Thur off so I’ll have a 4 day weekend next week.  It’s kind of strange.

But it provides us with lots of time to look at houses, which we’ll be doing some more of today.  I talked with the bank today, and they said we’ll borrow you this much money.  Which is a fair amount of money, but not really when it comes to house shopping in the Metro area.  I’m a tad down right now because of that.  There are some other loan options, but I don’t think we should go that route.  So we’ll see what happens.  We’ll make something work out.

I need to call the Apple Store today.  I applied to be a part time Mac Specialist there and I want to follow up.  I think that would be fun.  It would give me a chance to get my geeky side out a little bit.  That’s usually a plus.  And I’d be surrounded by all things Mac!  (And I guess one could say that I would be one step closer to everyone’s ultimate goal: Being like JoeBuck.  Or maybe that’s just a fringe benefit.)

I’m going to keep looking at homes online, so everyone enjoy their Friday!

  1. Make sure to get quotes from multiple banks. Not so much because of the amount, but the rates and fees could differ significantly.

  2. Yeah, we’re working on that. Hopefully we can get some sweet deal.

  3. Make sure you get a specific rate as well and not someone saying around 6%. Because they will add at least a quarter of a percent. Not good for you in the long run.
