Mondays suck...

its back to work .. oh what fun. i am starting to believe that if you start scanning the classifieds only 5 minutes after clocking in, it might be time not just look for a new job but actually get a new job. My job is easy ... it pays decently and i only work monday through friday. its very hard to find a job that will offer that type of schedule to you. Which leads me to the cylce of non-educated workers (non educated?? no, i am educated, just without a degree). This really drives me crazy ...
for the last two years i have struggled to find the time and the money to go to school. In order to find a better job i need to become better educated and get a degree. I get a little more than min. wage which means i (as a single female with no kids) make too much money to get financial help. I have been told however that if i quit my job i could gt the money to pay for school. (that is not an option... who will pay my rent and bills?) option two ... children .. if i had a child i would qualify for finacial help which would pay for my school and lead to a degree. I am not dumb enough to think that i can afford a child with what i make now .. that is why i want to go to school and get a degree in order to find a better job and make more money to support a family ...
vicious cycle.................... and as i said struggling for the last two years ... when i do have the money to go to school, i then have to fight my boss to get the time off in order to make it to class. Scheduling class around my lunch break really takes a toll. The last semester i went to school, i also had a lab which required 350 hours of kitchen time. since i dont currently work in a kitchen i then had to find a second job to juggle in with my current schedule. which looked something like this .... my day started at 3:00 am........
3:00 am to 9:00 am worked in a bakery ... (time to make the donuts)
9:30 to 1:30 class between two campuses which meant driving around town
2:30 to 11:00 work ... woohoo ... oh and a one hour class at 530 to 630 that i had to take during my lunch break... rush off to school and back in the middle of all the traffic and not be late to either class or my job.
then start all over at 3:00
and of coarse had to find the time to go out with friends and party .. which was between midnight and 2
Then because i worked at a place that had rotating schedules i could only work my second job for 4 weeks .. cause then it was time to go to graveyards at my 1st job.
so now .. i have a job that doesnt rotate .. unfortunately all the classes i need to complete my degree are only offered in the mornings and every other semester .. so i am stuck till next spring to figure out what classes i might be able to take ..
i need a new job .. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
anyhow .. so this weekend was pretty calm. no real partying and not too many visitors. I was still getting over my allergies and was resting most of the days. R was still recovering from his surgery so he didnt make it down to visit. A went camping and didnt call me till he was completely drunk off his ass. Drunk people arent that much fun to hang with when your still sober so i told him to call me back Monday. P is still in AL working his ass off .. he apparently is having a terrible time and misses texas. L has decided to prove once again that he is an asshole .. we already knew that .. why must he keep proving it .. oh well ..
someone finally moved in to the apt above mine... i think that they must be on a bowling team .. at least from what i can tell ... there is always a loud thump and what sounds like a ball rolling across the floor... oh and a child .. and a dog ..
now that is fun .. waking up to the sounds of crying and barking ...
i believe that is the reason that man invented drugs .. haha .. a couple of tokes just to calm the nerves ..
