So Mike and Gary (Mike's boss) went to talk to Mary about me working for their department and while Mike had told me earlier the morning that their department doesn't pay overtime, apparently Gary approved it for me, so I was like, "Okay!" Twadde's going to do a couple days for them too, so Mike came and brought us a jackets, fleeces and snowpants, and I'm kind of stoked about that because I strong-armed Jeremy into giving me a green jacket, and now I have a yellow one too. Everyone is telling me I'm insane but the only difficult thing about the job is standing around outside when it's cold. Mike says he won't make me lift all the really heavy things because Mary will kill him if I break my little fingers. Mary seemed happy enough about my working for them, now she can cut someone on Monday, I get 40 hours, Parker gets to keep his hours. I think they're probably allowing overtime for me because they know I'm honest with money (if you can't trust me with cash, you probably can't trust anyone at Canyon) and don't get drunk and go drive around and assault people.

We had a change order come in today, Parker ordered 6 boxes in pennies, 2 in nickels, 3 in dimes, and 8 in quarters, but the elevator is broken so Tim carried all of that crap up two flights of stairs. It took like 4 trips. There was also 9 bundles of bills but those aren't quite as heavy. Heather told me that Tim got drunk at the golf course once during the summer and ripped the arm off a golf cart, so I wasn't surprised he hefted all those coins to the office in the speed that he did, but it was still attractive.

Mary gave me a gift card and mammoth bucks for Christmas, so I used them to buy Jina some Mammoth paraphernalia from the sports shop for her Christmas gift. Trying not to use real money, I'm a cheapo. But the retail store does have some neat things, if overpriced, even with employee discount.
