This was my second weekend working a 2nd job. A friend of mine who runs a gas station needed someone to open on weekends, and I needed to try and make more money, so we came to an agreement. It's an interesting job. Not completely like Clerks, but still fun when I'm working with the right people. I see a pretty wide variety of people, and find ( Read more... )

We were without power for about 4 days this week. Evidently, our electric bill was $300 last month, and even though we made a payment on last months balance, it was still a grand total of $750 left. I don't know how we're going to get through all of this in the long term, but right now, we're using short term payday loans. Yes, they're raping us ( Read more... )

Done. With 34 minutes till class. I love living on the edge!

I should be writing a 5+ page paper right now for my DB class. That's why I scheduled today off, to give me time to touch it up. Of course, I haven't started on it at all. I've wasted the last hour checking news, playing FreeCell, and listening to Iron and Wine via YouTube. I am really, really, really digging Iron and Wine. I got hooked on " ( Read more... )

My review was yesterday. A week after I had been counseled on my attitude. I'll be straightforward here. I've been a negative employee. I've been unhappy in my role, and letting it fester. I didn't think that it was incredibly obvious, but evidently it was. I was given the opportunity (which I took) in last weeks meeting to say "No, I don't ( Read more... )

We got paperwork via FedEx yesterday. They want almost a checks worth of Good Faith money in a week. I'm over half a check in the whole. I have to call them today, to see if we can get another month to get the money together. If not, I guess we start packing up. I'll have to call them from the dining room public phone, when it's not busy. I ( Read more... )

Finished my final tonight. I think I managed to pull a C from the class. I'd hope for a B, but I'm not as confident as I'd like to be on some of my final answers ( Read more... )

"Who had sex with my Bible?"

She lied to me again today, less than 2 weeks after I confronted her about the last lie. The crazy thing is, they've been lies over pizza. Specifically, over the things that she's ordered with pizza. She's been getting around the "No spending money on pizza" caveat lately by saying that she's built up points with Dominoes Pizza, and that these ( Read more... )

I'm trying to find a way to look at things positively right now. None of my family is dead. We're currently not homeless, with utilities. My son held my hand when I walked him in to school this morning, and gave me a hug. He also just brought me a drink, grabbed me by the face, and rubbed noses with me. My littlest girl is now saying "Dabbie, ( Read more... )
