Shoplifting and Alergies in Lexington

This is the first official week in Lexington. E and I moved our furniture down here last Thursday, but had to wait until a few days ago to actually move down here ourselves. Things have been going alright so far. Our new apartment is great; I never realized just how much it would mean to have quiet neighbors and our own washer and dryer. Incidentally, said washer came in quite handy after Adin, for some reason, was unable to hold her bladder during the measly 1.5 hour drive between the old and new apartment...

E had his first day of work yesterday. He's working as a camera operator at a retail store. You know who I'm talking about, the guys who are usually in their mid twenties to early thirties who wish they could get a job in law enforcement but are too much of an ass (which is saying a lot) to get along with other officers. So instead, they sit in a small room by themselves for ten hours a day praying that a twelve year old will steal a pair of panties so they can show them who's the boss. Yep, that's my fiance. To be fair, as far as I know he's not like that on the job. He's also not quite in his mid twenties yet, and he just needed a job that would work with his school schedule. Anyway, the job seems to be going alright. My only concern is his probationary period. Apparently if he doesn't get enough stops during his first few months on the job they may let him go. This has led to me pondering which scenario would be worse: E loosing his job, or me being arrested for shoplifting. It's not like I'm having any luck finding a job anyway...

One down side to Lexington that I have noticed, what's with the air here? I swear, I've never had allergy problems in my entire life, but now that we've moved it seems I'm sneezing, wheezing, and coughing all the time! During an interview today I had to put more effort into holding in a sneeze than I did answering my interviewer's questions. At the end of the interview when she asked me if I had any questions for her I had to fight off the urge to ask whether or not the air here is physically doused with pollen by some supernatural being or if it just seems like it.

All complaints aside, Lexington is turning out to be a vast improvement over Cincinnati. Of course, it would really take effort to rival the atrocity that is Cincinnati's west side.
