Now, I know that we're "all in a state of constant debt" since we have to pay other people money for things that we have already used like electricity, but my debt could be someone's yearly salary.
I owe "the man" $41438.35.
It could be worse.
I rearranged some pictures yesterday, and I'm not sure I like it. There's a huge empty space beneath the bottom row...I may have to do some shopping. I need two that fit with the "landscape" theme.
I need to contact Murray State about the Masters in Education program and see why I should enroll in their program versus another. I already have an idea of what I want to do. Now I just need to see if it's what I *want* to do.
Have to start getting ready for work soon here. Work. I was told there was a deli position at Krogers. I think it might be worth looking into. As much as I like the people I work with, and the work itself doesn't bother me and is at times enjoyable, the constant need for feeling like it's the end of the world doesn't do it for me. I can't be in end of the world mode if my equipment doesn't work and we have crappy produce and people don't order the things I need to make the most basic of things. That's right. We have a tomato slicer that has a broken/bent blade that chipped when I tried to run a tomato through (I stopped when I saw little silver flecks and decided they were parts of the blade), we have soft tomatoes with nasty parts on them, I had to work with a box about 1/3 full of decomposing lemons, the industrial slicer needs to be sharpened never mind cleaned properly (the part to do which seems to be stuck in the main part of the machine), and I had no romaine lettuce for the salad mix. And I'm supposed to move "with a sense of urgency". How am I supposed to do that when I have to slice soft tomatoes on a dull slicer with urgency? Tomato juice anyone?
Anyway. I'm tired of being told that I'm too slow. Other people might be able to do it, but with me you're going to have to decide between slow and quality, or fast and crappy. And though cracker barrel claims to be all about quality, they're really all about fast and crappy.
I need a new job with better pay and better hours. I think I'm going to go to Lowes and Kroger. I really just want to sub, but school's out.
Well, gotta go.
