I got a new job! It's doing the same thing I was doing before (working with chemical warfare materials), but it's normal hours and I got a HUGE raise!!! I am now starting my "save money for a house fund." At this rate, I should have a house of my own within one year!!!!! (I want a single family home, not a townhouse or else I could get that now....even though I have no family....). I'm so excited, but I'm afraid to tell my current boss. She's kind-of scary!
