Yes…oh poo. Pier 1 had a management position open a few months ago that went to a girl I went to college with. It was fine because she was there before I was and was going to transfer down south soon, which is why she got the job. She leaves in a week, so the manager was interviewing for the job last week. I went for it, and so did a woman who has been working there half as long as I have. She is about 9 years older and I helped train her. I found out yesterday that she got the job, which in my opinion, is complete bullshit. I was crying and completely livid at the same time (in the privacy of the restroom, of course) So, instead of working beneath someone who’s million questions I had been answering for the past 6 months, I am leaving. I have begun the hunt for a new job and I am hoping that I can find something with more hours and the possibility of moving up. I refuse to stay at a place where the only possibility of moving up is when I’m the only one that wants the job, because aparently, that’s the way it’s going to be. My manager gave me a “consolation” package of getting more responsibilities as well as visual and a bigger role in employee training. Yeah…I really want to train more people to take future jobs from me. Sounds fantastic. She told me I could take off for the day or I could stay in the back of the store and move furniture groups. I chose to stay, but today I went job hunting. I’ve found a place I really hope I get hired at and I think I’ve got a pretty good shot. So, more on that when I blog again.

This will be a short blog as I have a terrible headache and really don’t want to stare at this screen. Hope you all are having a great spring season.

It seems like everytime I write I am apologizing for my lack of posting. But again, I’m sorry. We finally got our computer back, but I haven’t been home much. You know how it goes when you meet someone new…you spend oodles of time when them. I’m trying to back off a little for right now because I’ve got finals and test coming up that I haven’t studied for, so tonight I’ll have a lot to do, but I will be graduating May 10, so I’m pretty excited! I’ll still have a class in the summer to take, but it doesn’t start until July. I’m just excited to be able to only have work to worry about soon. School, work, and a social life are really hard to balance!

Work is getting dramatic. Way too dramatic. It’s ridiculous. People are saying things happened that never did or saying something wasn’t said when it was. It’s so stupid. And now since one of the women is sick, as soon as school ends I’ll be working 6 day weeks again. It’s bull. I am taking the weekend of my cousin’s wedding off though and my man is coming! He’s taking the weekend off also. I’m excited!

I don’t have much to write about so I’ll leave it at that. When school is done and my work schedule gets more normal I’ll be able to write more. Until then…

J and I are done. I know this is totally sudden but it’s not really. I’ve been unhappy for a long time and it took me a while to realize that I was waiting for him to change. People don’t change and they shouldn’t have to change to be happy. I don’t want to go into it right now or ever really but I’m having a bad day. I don’t know what I’m going to do now but I do know that this is for the best.

Our computer is going to crap again. Something is killing the memory. We can’t find any viruses, so I’m guessing it’s a hardware problem. Either way, it runs smoothly for about 30 seconds and then freezes for 2 minutes, then works for 30 seconds…etc. It’s annoying and because I haven’t had time at school to comment on sites like I should be (and trying it at home takes 4 hours) I have marked my site inactive. I apologize if I didn’t comment on your site. I’ve tried 3 times and it just doesn’t work. And for whatever reason Despair isn’t working today so I have no idea who I was supposed to comment on (the emails go to my computer at home). That said, I will not be posting as frequently as I’d like to (obviously) until our computer gets better.

Happy note: J is finally coming in for good! He told his boss the next time they go in he won’t be coming out again. He’s QUITTING! I’m so proud of him. It’s a crap job and it’s not helping him so I’m really happy he’ll be done. I have no idea when they’ll come in, but hopefully he’ll have enough money to pay for his Jeep and get a job here.

My grades are improving in Accounting and Store Management, which is great. I was really worried for a while, but I’ve buckled down and now I’m getting stuff done. It’s fun doing homework when I get it.

Nothing too interesting has been happening. I went bowling last night with friends, which was a lot of fun. The friend I’ve been hangin’ with lately is out of town until Friday night, and she might be busy then. So until Saturday I should be getting some good nights of sleep. I went home at 2am Saturday morning, 6am Sunday morning (pulled an all-nighter), 2am Tuesday morning, and 2am this morning . It’s been a tiring (but fun!) week/end. I’m due for some good R&R now. heh.

I just got out of Accounting and I am fairly certain I did a fantastic job at bombing the entire thing. I was completely lost with all of the multiple choice questions and don’t even get me started on the forms at the end. Ugh.

Due to an overload of homework this week, I haven’t been able to get a layout up yet. I will have time to work on it tonight for an hour or so, but it probably won’t be up until Friday or Saturday.

On another totally unrelated note, I am currently working my way back down to my skinny jeans. Ha. I’m not fat or anything and quite frankly I could stand to gain a few, but I don’t want to buy a new wardrobe, so I’m just going to cut back a bit and eat a little better and in about a week I should be back to where I want to be. It’s only about 4 pounds or so and they usually go fast . It’s keeping them off that is the hard part . With our new insurance company I can get back on my Adderall, which has been known to cause me a little drop in weight (appetite suppressant). I would love to just go on it and lose a few pounds without worrying about it, but if I leave the weight drop up to the pill, the doctors could pull me off of it. It has been known to cause health issues in younger women because they love the weight loss and lose too much. So my plan is to lose the weight before I get back on it and then make sure I keep steady with my eating 3 times a day. It’s easier to keep weight up than down . I just don’t want them to freak out about 5 pounds when I have been wanting to lose them anyway. You see the problem? Okay…enough of that. Sorry to bore you with my ridiculousness.

Side rant: To those of you who have a tendency to tailgate, STOP. I am so frickin’ sick of those people. It’s one thing to tail someone because they’re going slow and could move over, but if there’s a car in front of them and they can’t move or go faster, BACK OFF. I swear, one of these days I’m going to tap my breaks and teach someone a very hard lesson. Grrr.
