I’ve been working lots. Today was a public holiday so it’s pay and a half. I worked from 10:30 until just after 5. So I made over $200 today.
Only two weeks of the restaurant job to go. The last few days there have been good.
I feel guilty for complaining about the job. Despina let me make a souvlaki to take home for dinner the other night. It was nice of her. They were also talking about how they’ll miss me and stuff.
Even George has been particular nice to me lately. He seems different.
I’m going to go up the hill again tomorrow. I’m not sure which path yet. I’ll go straight to Mark and Jayne’s afterwards. It’s Alpha night. That means there’ll be a big dinner.
I’m a little stressed because of all these money related things. I’m having trouble setting up my new debit card. The app is saying that the 3-digit pin on the back is wrong. I’ll stop by the bank tomorrow.
I’m also having trouble with the money transfer app. I’m trying to transfer $20 to my Australian bank and $1100 to TD. Both of the payments have been sent, but Wise is saying it hasn’t received anything. I’ve been wondering if it’s something to do with the holiday weekend here in New Zealand?
I’ve been trying to listen to new music lately. I tried listening to some albums that are considered the best of the 2010’s. I got bored so quick. I know that there’s new music out there that I’d like. I just have to dig for it. Most of the recent albums that are critically acclaimed seem to bore me.
So I’m doing the same thing but for the 60’s. I seem to prefer 60’s and 70’s stuff. I’ve already listened to a lot of those albums, but not everything.
I listened to In The Court of the Crimson King yesterday. It was cool. It was jazzy. I’ve heard it before, but not since I was like 17. Today I’m listening to Let It Bleed.
I recently listened to Odyssey and Oracle by The Zombies. There were a few songs on there I really liked. There was also a lot that I didn’t enjoy.
That album is pretty consistently near the top of album lists. I’m not sure I’d agree with that.
I also listened to Pet Sounds on the way home today. I’ve heard that one quite a few times. It’s been a while since I listened all the way through.
