Well, I dunno about the post being great. But today was a great day for me. I got my first real job, and I'm uber excited, because the library is apparently a really hard place to get a job at. While I don't know when I start, they said that training is this Thursday. Short notice, eh? Oh well. At least I can make it on Thursday.
But this leaves so many questions. What will the hours be like? Who else got hired? Who works there already? Why is there a gamecube in the middle of the living room floor? And who was playing Paper Mario?
Jack can answer a few of those questions, and I'm sure my brothers can answer the last two. Still, it would be nice to know.
Bottom line, I'm happy with the job, and I have a source of income. This means no nagging from my parents.
Anyways, readers, I've been reading up on The Beatles a lot recently. Sure I've liked their songs, but never really knew much about them. I suppose it was the Beatles Rockband that started me on the subject. I was playing through Revolver in Career mode. Great album, by the way. Taxman is brilliant. I absolutely love the Rockband version of Within You Without You/Tomorrow Never Knows. Very... trippy. But also relaxing. My friend described the game as 'one massive drug trip' though I'm not sure that's accurate for their earlier stuff. Their earliest stuff was very pop-ish. Alright, but not great. My favourite early Beatles song is I Saw Her Standing There. Around 1965-66, they changed their style. I gotta say, with albums like Sgt. Pepper and Revolver, they really improved and got more sophisticated. While drugs had major influence on it, you can't deny it was good music. After 1966 they didn't tour again. They didn't need the money, and their music was getting too hard to play live anyways. They continued recording until 1971, and released their final album Let It Be. After that, they split up. If it came down to it, they could have gone on for so much longer. Made more music. But the truth was that their fame was one factor on their end; a reason they didn't tour was that the crowds never stopped shouting, and they couldn't even play well over the cheers of the crowds.
I gotta go walk the dog. Sorry for the abrupt ending, readers. I might add more when I get back.

I don't know how it is at Brant Hills, but I'm assuming similar to Central - we get the monthly schedule well in advance, and the 2 to 4 hour shifts consist of two days during the week and usually one on the weekend. The days during the week are always the same in my department. I've noticed that a lot of the people working at Brant Hills go to ND. Congratulations :)
