At the Bends

Sunday, January 29th, 2006

Brittnee recently has begun a search for a new job, which seems like a really good idea to me. No one should have to work at Albertsons forever. I myself, might be switching jobs soon as well which sort of depends on what happens to Brittnee. I really want to be back in school right now, more than anything.

As for distractions, Animal crossing is a really good one! Brenda got it for me yesterday as sort of an early cheer up / valentines day gift. I love running errands for the towns folk who then abuse my good nature and reward me with only garbage from thier household! Hopefully I’ll get some time in for WoW later as well.

I missed out on this Imogen Heap concert yesterday that I really wanted to go to and it bumbed me out alot more than it probably should have. I’m a little dissapointed but I’ll survive I guess. I’m also a little dissapointed that my weekend sort of flew by and I only managed to get in about 2 hrs of gaming, which is more than the rest of the week, the night is still young though, I’m sure I’ll manage to get a little more in before it’s over.
Webwork will have to wait untill morning though, I’m too tired to actually do anything productive tonight.

Swingin’

Friday, January 27th, 2006

It’s the end of the night, I’m tired, and I really don’t think this weekend is going to be what I want at all. I have the notion that everything I want, will most likely fail. I really want to go to this Imogen Heap concert on Saturday, but it’s sold out. I’m going to try to get tickets at the door, but I’m pretty damn sure that’s not going to go well.

I might be switching jobs somewhat soon, to a waiter at Shari’s. I’ve been warned against it several times, but my base pay rate would be higher than it is now, and I would be making tips as well. Plus I’d be working five eight hour days instead of four ten hour days, which may or may not be a better thing, but I think it is, plus I would be much more likely to get all of my work days.

Being a “flex” employee is cool and all, except the weeks they decide not to give me work. I mean, I appreciate the time off, but right now I really, really, really desperately need money. It’s making me nervous over nothing not having it. Still havn’t been able to pay off that school thing and that’s tearing me apart. It’s entirely unreasonable for me to worry about it too, because if I can’t do anything about it, then why worry over it?

My friend from work Randy was supposed to get a “Senior” or full time position at work, but he was told today the position would be given to someone else. Now this other person is a good worker and has been there longer, but I honostly believe that Randy needed the position more, and that he is a more qualified person based on ability. It’s not my call though, and some of the other employees might have felt that seniority mattered more in that situation. To top that off, his girlfriend has been randomly and unfairly accusing him of cheating on her. She assumes that he’s been taking his laptop to work to chat with “his little bitch” and that every time he comes home late it’s because he’s with her.

In light of all that, I decided to do something after work tonight to cheer him up. So Randy, Cody, Anne, and my self went to Shari’s and the waitress we had there managed to cheer him up, which I was extremely glad for, and it further encouraged me to become a waiter despite the warnings.

Over use of commas brought to you by *Tired* always there when you need it most!

Oh so Wet, and Cold

Wednesday, January 25th, 2006

So I’m working in the cold / wet chamber this week, and I’m on my third day in there. It’s really cold 10c or so, it’s pretty rediculous. While I’m sitting in there I’m just thinking about a) my appendages freezing and falling off b) school, and the fact I’m not in it yet and c) how desperately hungry I am right now. I’m fighting my bodies urge to go out to eat right now, and devising a scheme to get school money. As for my appendages … I can’t think of a way to keep them warm.

As you can all clearly see (I hope) the main page is pretty much finished. I still need to work on every other page for my site, but that blog part shouldn’t take long. Brenda might be creating a comic strip for milkrock, she might not be, up to her I guess.

I can’t help but feel desperately behind on my schooling, with some of my friends finishing their bachelors and others finishing thier masters. I still havn’t talked to my parents about letting me borrow that money for school, mainly because with me out of the house and working it just feels like I should try harder not to depend on them for that sort of thing. I don’t know what else to do though, and I’m already depending on them for food.

I don’t want to be one of those kids who keeps leaving home and only coming back when they want money, but it certainly seems like I’ve been doing that alot lately. At least, to me. If I could find some better paying work, or at least work with more stable hours, I could probably pay off that small bit of my schooling.

I’ll just keep taking things one step at a time for now, especialy since there is no sense in worrying about.

Whack!

Wednesday, January 25th, 2006

Well, I went through about three or four million ideas the past month before finaly settling on this one. The new layout is about halfway implented now, but I’m way too tired to really work on it any more tonight so the rest will have to come tommorow, all of you new visitors will have to pardon the mess.

Things have been somewhat uneventfull recently, though there are some things that I will make note of here later if I can get permission to do so by those involved. Work has been more steady than I could have hoped for and financialy I should be back on track really soon! But I should probably looks for another job anyways because I’m really not making enough and the 10 hr work days are really starting to get to me.

School, oh how I wish I could attend right now. I have 931 dollars that I need to pay before I can return to my classes and I honostly don’t know how I’m going to do that. Most likely I’ll have to get another credit card to pay for it which, I know sounds like a horrible idea, and I guess it really is, but for the sake of my education … well … it seems worth it. The second I get back in school I’m going to start looking for more scholarships too.

Wish me luck everyone, I’ll probably need it.
