Paid Off A Credit Card and Other Updates

I'm really excited because I paid off one of my credit cards. I have a $1000 in my savings for an emergency. This will allow me to pull money from my savings in case I have a medical or car related emergency. I also expect that I might have something come up with my 12 year old cat so I'm considering getting pet insurance.

So things aren't going too well at my job. I'm in college right now and I'm working full-time at a retailer. I'm paid on commission and I'm only averaging about $10 to $11 per hour. My job is paying slightly more than a management job I had this time last year with the boss from hell. That company ended up going under in January so it worked out that I quit. Where I'm working now is fun because of my coworkers but the customers are irritating. I've just reached the point where I'm sick of retail, I guess. I feel obligated to stay because my boyfriend's best friend hired me. It will be one year in August so my plan is to consider doing something else and trying to work out a part-time position there. Things will also depend on where I'm living by this summer. My lease is up in July.
