While I have updated in blurbs and blips, I feel like I haven’t really sat down and put my thoughts on the screen in a while, and since I have some down time, it seems like as good a time as any to go for it. I feel like I have several topics to discuss, so I am just going to go with bullet points (number 5 with a bullet, anyone) so that I can at least touch on everything. Or some things, as now that I am sitting down to write I can’t remember what in the world I wanted to talk about.
~I did finally quit Babies R Us after I came back from Christmas. I ended up just stopping showing up, because since I had tried to quit twice before that and basically was told that I couldn’t quit, I figured this was the only way out. I felt bad because my manager did try very hard to accommodate my needs, but in the end, the place was just too miserable to continue showing up every week.
~I had a bunch of downtime during the day after Christmas, since the restaurant was only open at night, so I set out looking for a second job. One of the servers helped me out and got me hired at the gas station where she works, but the timing is awful. I started on a thursday. the Saturday following was the day we went back to our regular schedule, and since we are down a retail person, I am working a lot there. I am going to try to make it work because the extra cash is necessary, but I’m worried about how difficult this is going to be.
~I feel like I have made some actual friends here, so that is good. And I have ridiculous drama, so while I am not a fan of the drama (who are we kidding here, I live on that shit) I am glad that I have people in my life that I feel comfortable enough to dish the dirty details to. And it is really, really nice to be included in the after-work drinks and such. My coworkers are the only people I see, so it’s nice to be included.
~My brother is getting married over Memorial Day weekend, so I booked a flight earlier this week and will be home for a few days. I have a lot planned already, but if you want to see me, let me know, and we will try to work something out. (So much for not telling anyone when I was coming home again.)
~I think the weirdest thing about moving and the subsequent changes has been the shift in my priorities. A song popped on in my car the other night as I was driving home from work, and it really got me thinking. The lyrics used to resonate so much inside me, and now those same words barely registered with me. The situation that I was in when I first heard those words is basically just an afterthought at this point, and I never thought I would see that happen. It surprises me every day how much change comes with a change in scenery.
~I am considering a break from facebook. Looking at it does more harm than good and I am honestly way too addicted to it for my own good. Over the past week I have come across some posts that have hurt my feelings or pissed me off and it’s really not worth getting that upset over bs. The only reason I haven’t taken a break just yet is because I know how much some people rely on it to keep in touch with me. I remember how productive I was when I was off of facebook last summer, and I feel like I could really use some time like that again. Don’t be surprised if you notice I’m gone. And if you are relying on fb to keep in touch and would like alternate means in case I do go away, I will gladly give you my cell phone number. Just ask.
Well, my computer battery is almost dead and I can’t think of anything else that I need to share right now, so I am going to end here for now. There will likely be more at some point, but who can say, really?
