looks like we made it / time will never change it

T-minus seven days till the New Job's over, and I'm feeling every minute of it. I'm chomping at the bit to get back to the Old Job, due in part to the fact that on campus I keep running into my friends who work there, and they said that everyone's asking about me and when I'll be coming back. I did not know that my promotion was decided in a vote by our boss, the other supervisors and some other people who've worked there long enough to have some pull. In other words, they like me; they really, really like me! It makes me smile to think about it. It's a pay cut and less than half the hours I've been working at the New Job, but the money I've made there in the past two months (has it really been that long?) should help me get by. Besides, I have plenty of practice being poor-- bring it on. Man, I feel good!

Oh yeah, here's some advice from everyone's favorite online commentator, Maddox, that I plan to take.
