Dan gets paid!
So Kim decided after all to use my flyer design, and paid me not thirty but forty dollars for it! Now I can pay the parking ticket from yesterday, and still have $5 left over to buy food! Considering the amount of time I put into the original design, and how long it took to make the changes in the text she wanted today, I think my hourly rate works out to under ten dollars, but I'm not complaining (well, except just to be funny)--I'll take what I can get, and anytime someone's willing to pay me to design stuff I'll be happy.
I went to the library here for the first time today, and I wan't that impressed; somehow you expect a city to have a collection that can at least rival little old Lexington's, but that is not the case. Still, I found something I wanted to read, but of course I couldn't check it out cause I didn't have a card yet; and reasonably enough they wouldn't give me a card cause I didn't have anything to prove that I actually live here. For all they knew I might have been a travelling book theif, who clears out like fifteen books from every town before moving on. But they offered to mail my card to my address, and that'll count as proof: if I get it, I live here. So in a couple days I should be all set with that. For now I can read the book I got yesterday, on PHP and MySQL. Thrilling stuff: just the thing to read when you're trying to stay awake as you wait for your girlfriend to come home.
