Irritated!

I would just like to say that while we may not talk often you would think something like a work schedule that is the same just about every week would be EASY to figure out.  For the most part I work the same thing every week.  During school I work half days on Thursday's and yes occassionally I have the random Friday off and during the summer Saturday's are half days.  This week is an odd week as I work half a day Thursday (not in school right now) and have the random Friday off and have the half day Saturday.  Tuesday's and Wednesday's NEVER change.  So why do I get a call asking if I want something from Max & Erma's and told that my schedule is so confusing?  I WORK THE SAME THING EVERY WEEK FOR THE MOST PART!!!!

Also, when you see a large pile of work that needs done and see your co-worker is clearly busy why don't you get off your ass and do it instead of sitting there reading?  I am so glad said co-worker is gone for a month and then I leave a week after she gets back.  I don't quite get the point of her working here twice a week if she isn't willing to help with the weekly jobs besides putting away books, making unnecessary signs and cleaning the kids room (inefficiently).

Sorry, I just had to get that off my chest it has been a very bad day so far and I have to go home and work my second job.  I still have an hour and a half here and then home to eat, fold laundry and get to work at the second job (gotta start saving for the rest of my tuition and books for school now that vacation is paid for).  Glad I have half a day tomorrow, am off Friday and half a day on Saturday!  Gives me more time to work the second job that pays $4 more than the full time job...lol.

WTF

What in the heck is going on with me lately?  I just don't know.  I can't seem to go after what I want myself but I can write an almost pornographic scene about it for a story.  Maybe I am wondering is it what I really want?  I don't know if it is or not.  I care about somebody and I hate to see them hurting the way that they currently are but do they care about me the same way I care about them or do they just want sex.  I think it is a very fine line for them and I don't know how I feel about that.  This doesn't even really make sense to me but I needed to rant so there it is.

Last night...

So I woke up yesterday feeling really good and my day just got worse as the morning went on.  Both my breakfast and lunch were long gone when I went to put them in my lunchbox, there were several areas of construction on my way to work and I had the worst ADD attack ever.  But I knew at some point I would get to see my friend and I really needed to see him.  He walked in a few hours later and with one hug I was able to relax and the ADD slightly subsided.  We made plans for later that night and talked a bit before I had to get back to work.  I expected the text that came after he left though...it is always inevitable.

Anyways, my ADD subsided and I listened to my music to make it completely disappear and the day absolutely flew by.  We sit down in the theater and then he tells me he already saw the movie...I wanted to kill him but didn't because he had been nice enough to go with me again.  After the movie since I hadn't eaten yet that day and it was almost 10:30 we drove over to Eat'n'Park and ate and just talked.  It was a fun night and by the time we got back to my car I didn't want to get out but since I had to work again today I had to.  Part of me almost turned around and went back...lol, but I forced myself to keep going.

Oh well it was still a great night with a friend I almost never get to see so it all added up to a good night in my book.  In today's news I made a really good paycheck with one job and an okay paycheck submitted for the other job.  There was no construction and I only work until 3 which means I can take my Kindle and read at the park in the sun and hopefully finish my beta book!!!

It's been a while...

So I know it's been a while since I last posted but I've been just a little bit crazy.  A lot has happened however since I last posted.  I am about 2 weeks away from completing my first semester of school.  I am still going back and forth on doing a couple classes this summer but I think I will wait for fall when I know I have financial aid available.  Needless to say it looks like I will have straight A's my first semester, if the website I need goes back up and I can fix something on one of my assignments in the next couple of days.  I had to hold off on the indexing the last few weeks because I just didn't have time.  I look forward to the next few months when I can do a ton of indexing and then have a TON of money saved up for school.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In other news May is going to be completely awesome.  My best friend Ben will be home most of the month.  There are a couple great movies coming out.  I finish school on Mother's Day.  Memorial Day means camping.  But most of all I get to relax and read again.  I have been on a reading kick since March and don't want to stop any time soon.  I look forward to hanging out with friends and camping and warm weather and oh so much more that comes with summer.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Oh another note I paid off my Dell account all $1,200+ of it in one big sweep.  That means all I have is the car payment and I am free and clear until I have to start paying off student loans.  I am no longer going to Germany so that I can save for school, which is okay with me.  I started a blog where I will review all of the books I read as well.  Anyways, I have to go do some reading for school but I will try to post more often.

It's Gonna Be A Good Year!!!

So I am happy to announce that school is going really good so far.  I have done really well at keeping a week ahead in all my school work.  So far there has only been one section in Math that I couldn't understand.  I mean I understood how it worked but couldn't figure out why it was that way.  Intro to Research only has 2 weeks left which I have to admit is okay with me.  I mean it is the easiest class ever and boring beyond belief since I knew all the information already.  It was nice to learn a little bit about the library site though.  I will be interested to see how the second eight weeks go, what with having two eight week classes even if they are easy classes.

I am glad to be back to the indexing again though.  It is nice to have that supplemental income back, even if it does bring in more than my full time job at part time.  I am considering going to part time at the library and part time at the indexing.  I make more in 5 hours of indexing than I do in 8 hours at the library.  I just don't know exactly what to do yet but I do know that I'm pretty sure I can't do a full time job, a part time job and school full time.

I got my tax form for indexing, so as soon as I get my W-2 from the library and then I will work on my taxes.  I can't wait to see if I get anything back this year.  I really hope I do because that could go a long way in my debt and savings needs.  I am still going to fill out the FAFSA and see if I can get a grant and that will help me not have to save quite as much.  This is especially good since I SUCK at saving.  It is extremely good that I happen to have a paypal account that rarely ever gets used because I don't shop on e-bay anymore.  Next month I should be able to start my Money Market account and start saving for a trip or so.

Over the next month or so I will start paying off bills and I also have to get a spare tire for my car.  I also have to get my text books for my next two classes.  I am still debating on summer classes since I have a lot planned for this summer (camping trips, a trip to Utah, possibly a beach vacation and a trip to Germany).  All I know is I won't be doing anything in July but work, work, work because the new employee is taking the whole month off.  I just love that.  I have taken off for vacation once (and I only worked 1 day that week) since I started there, almost 3 years ago.  This year I put an end to that with a couple trips.

Anyways, I have some more work to do before I go to bed.  So goodnight all and I hope your year's are going as good as mine is.

Crazy weird!!!

So I just had the weirdest surprise ever when I got out of the shower.  I logged onto facebook again and found a friend request.  This wasn't just any request it was from my ex-husbands new wife.  I am a bit baffled by this and don't know what to do.  There is the odd chance that she just wants to get to know me, but then there is also the chance that she wants to bitch at me.  I really don't know what to do because well usually the new wife doesn't want to talk to the new wife.  This is just TOO crazy for me.

In other news I start classes on the 14th but can look at syllabi next Monday (the 7th).  Everybody says I am completely nuts but who cares.  Why do they say that you ask?  Well because I am completely and utterly excited to go back to school.  I love to learn and what better way to do it than to actually (finally) get my degree.

Resolutions for the year:  Pass all my classes, work hard and pay off most of my debt (Dell Financial and a good portion of the car loan), complete my EF fund ASAP, and just enjoy life.  I would love to say lose some weight and exercise but with the schedule I will have going that most likely won't happen and I'm ok with that.

I think that is all for now.  I think I'm going to go accept this friend request and see what happens.  I can always delete people.

randomness of me

So it's that time of year when nobody comes to the library because well there is just a lot going on.  I both love it and hate it.  I am completely bored right now and I can't continue reading my book because my phone is about to die and I still have a party after my 45 minutes of work.  I really want to know how my book ends though so I will probably end up finishing it tonight.  I will say it is nice to have time to read again...that won't be the case much longer as I go back to indexing and start school next month some time.  I still don't know what will be happening with the indexing job offered to me.  I hate not know what is going on and having things hanging in the balance of disarray.

I have taken to wearing my wedding ring to work again because I am sick of the old guys hitting on me.  Maybe the ring will deter that a bit more.  I doubt it but it is worth a shot at least.  Plus I do love my ring, it is a smaller version of the one that was stolen YEARS ago (almost 5 years to be exact) and it is a butterfly.  I'm a nut for anything butterfly related.

I am totally excited to start school on the 14th.  I have my Math books ordered and should get them tomorrow, I hope.  I want to get the chance to look over them before the class starts so that I have a general idea as to what is going on in the class.  This class is going to be rough what with not having anybody to explain stuff to me in person but I will make it through.  The other class doesn't have books.  When Math ends I have two more classes but the books for that can wait until I can get a book voucher and pay tuition.

Whatever money is left I think I am going to go out and buy the new iPad.  If I were smart I would put it in savings so I could start throwing extra money at bills to get them paid off.  I have just wanted an iPad for so long...that and a Kindle.  It would be nice not to have to read my books via my phone and have the battery die. But if I get the iPad I can get the Kindle app for it and have both...lol.  Even though that money should go to the savings (Paypal account).  We'll see what happens though.

I have so much more I want to rant about but don't have nearly enough time.  I will write more later.
