Yes, here I am again embarking on yet another short length of blogging time. Well, hopefully not short. I was writing over in my deadjournal for awhile but, the blandness of the layout sort of spurred me into coming back. With a fancy new autumn layout too. So, I suppose I'll give the usual update on what's been going on since the last post.
I actually quit that job. Amazing, I know. Years and years of busting my butt for those crazy Italians had me ready to snap in two so I left. Not that I don't love them all to death (well, most of them) but I had to draw a line. Right after that I went on vacation with Andy for a week to camp in North Carolina. We traveled to a few places within the state to go gem hunting, because for some reason we both enjoy things like that. Found a lot of great things: sapphire, garnet, emerald, ruby, amethyst, aventurine, smoky citrine (my favorite of my batch), smoky quartz (I always say it looks like a coca-cola ice cube lol), and lots of prism-like quartz crystals. Plus a ton of other things, but those are most noteworthy. We got muddy as hell every day, ran around in the creek digging under rocks for gems, and had such a blast I still to this day can't believe it was that fun. Of course the one drawback HAD to be the campground's showers...I was staring at 600 spiders everytime I showered...reminds me of home. Damn pervish spiders. That top one is where we lived for a week...lol. It was great because it poured every night but never during the day. Well almost every night. The middle picture is me and Andy with our surprise bucket that we were about to sluice, out of which came the two pendants that we had cut. And at the bottom is me...cuddling the hot dogs we bought. That's all we ate all week...hot dogs on the george forman grill with no buns. Talk about a low budget vacation. The last day we cracked and ate at Arby's tho, not to mention a fabulous pancake meal at IHOP during the drive down xD
Moving on, we came back and I started my new job at Target. I worked at 4 AM, and it sucked. I worked there for about a month before, just recently, I decided it wasn't for me. So I'm currently unemployed and semi-enjoying the free time. Besides the fact that I have classes now...the first day was on my 20th birthday. Go figure, since I had class all day, then a 5 hour biology lecture/lab at night. At least we got out of bio a little early and I got to eat some cake with Andy though, or it would've been extra crappy. Currently I'm going to be attempting to get a job at the airport. It's the kind of environment that I thrive on. Incase I never mentioned this, I'm obsessed with travel. Not like a normal person would be obsessed with travel, I really have a problem. I get urges, and...well nevermind that for now. If I got into my travel issues in this post you people would be here for years. So continuing, I'm attempting to go to the airport. Work around the people who get to do what I can only dream of doing. Hear about where they go and what they do. I'm excited, really. There's a job fair at the airmall Tuesday morning, I even get to miss my morning classes to go to it. Too bad I'm missing creative writing, the only class I never want to miss. I suppose that's about all that's been going on. I should be updating more frequently, at least I hope so. I'm busy, but I can always find time to sit on my butt in front of the computer and do nothing xD
I really need to go somewhere. This working 7 days a week REALLY isn't cutting it. Now I know the last thing you want to read is some crazy chick complaining...but just give me a little paragraph, ok? I actually, I'm not kidding, can NOT feel my feet that's how bad it is. I'm going on 14 days without a day off. Are you SERIOUS? Come on now, hire some more damn people because you can NOT do this to your employees. And of course it's mother's day weekend, everyone's coming out to the restaurant, and tomorrow's the icing on the cake. I work from 11 am to like 9 pm and I'm probably going to kill myself OR somebody else by the end of the night. If I even wake up, because I'm so dead tired that I may just pass out and never awaken.
Ok, I'm done. In other news, I obviously have no life, I mean not that I ever really did. All my friends are people I work with. Well, mostly. I mean I love them and all...but I'm goin crazy. And I don't even have time to go to the gym like I planned, although my legs would ache so much that I probably wouldn't stay long anyway. Alright I know I said I was done complaining, so I'm done. I swear this time.
I need to go somewhere though. See some sights, go somewhere peaceful and relax and enjoy myself. People I know who are my age and don't have to work, I cannot believe how lucky they don't even realize they are. I mean, maybe it's good that I'm working and getting experience and crap but come ON. I wanna enjoy the last years that I can do whatever and run around like crazy. I don't even have the drive to do anything anymore. It's really not fair, but I'm bitching again and obviously I can't stop myself, so I'm gonna go do whatever. Gah.
Yes, I just so happen to be the laziest person alive. And I'm just generally not having a good time with myself, but I'll get to that later. I have a presentation due in 4 days that I only have 3 slides for, and two research papers due in two weeks. I haven't started either of those. I'm gonna do awful someday...I'll never succeed lol and the sad part is that I know that. I may as long as I can set my own deadlines or something. But I mean, the stuff I need to do gets done in time, but I procrastinate WAY too much, stress myself out like crazy along the way, and all of that's my fault. I could EASILY do things earlier, I just really don't want to. Somehow I'm happier putting it off and stressing myself out. Like, right now, I'm so stressed I can't even think. I backed into my garage door the other day because I have so much shit on my mind, and the darn people are coming at 8 AM to wake me up and replace it. Darn them.
I'm just getting sick of stuff. Sick of this place maybe. Sick of school, work, winter, cold, driving on route 60, almost everything lol. I just like the people, but even sometimes you need to get out of town and go somewhere where nobody knows you. Or maybe just one person knows you, or something like that. I just need to go somewhere. But I barely make enough money to do things I enjoy with it let alone pay bills. Seriously, screw bills. And I can't WAIT to get out of that damn restaurant and get a nice little office job where I get $9 per hour to sit there and use a computer. My god, that'll be just fabulous. I told you I was lazy. I already sit on my ass at the computer at any chance I get, why not at my job too? But I guess I'm off to bed so I can daydream about the traveling I wanna do til I fall asleep...
Well I'm here on another blog-ish website. I'm rather fond of this one though. I also happen to be on the verge of purchasing another domain, so that should be appearing somewhat soon.
In other news, Sidney Crosby got his 200th point last night. He did it in under two seasons...and faster than Wayne back in the day. Hmm...do I hear "The Greater One?" I think so. Even though the Pens lost, which wasn't so great, but as long as they stay where they are or go up in the playoff standings...
I know I'm kind of jumping all over the place, but that's only because I have to go to work in about three hours, and anybody who knows anything about how much I hate my job will know that my brain is scrambled at the moment as my hatred for that place grows. It's a little family owned Italian restaurant. Sounds fine enough right? Well I've been there for three years, they're doing all these new rules that are RIDICULOUS, and those people are just insane. But I don't feel like talking about it much, I'll be there living my nightmares soon enough.
I suppose that's all for now. I just remembered that I need to get my car inspected...don't even ask me why I just thought of it now. But spring break for college is all next week, and for some reason work didn't schedule me til Friday and Saturday. But anyway, I guess I'll add more stuff when I figure some other things out.
