And another one comes...
So lets see if I can throw in everything that has been in the last few weeks...
My mother got a restraining order against my father, charging him with domestic abuse. My father and I appeared in court to contest it and we succeeded. A decade late, but I finally got to make a court appearance with my parents on each side of the issue! Half my stuff is still in my basement, and my mother has refused to let me in when I've asked to show up and take my stuff, so waiting until I move into my own place and then hopefully we can set a date and she'll let me in...otherwise I'll be taking her to court myself. This has completely fractured my family. My father and I on one side, my mother and brother on the other.
The RGM at another pizza hut has been fired because of a sexual harassment accusation, so my boss has taken over the store up there while being in charge of the one in Urbana. He plans on getting rid of most of the crew up there too because of poor training/mindsets/etc. Jessica at Urbana is being promoted to RGM of that store which I think is great and my current boss is taking over the other store. What this means is that I will be at max capacity of hours for the coming few months as both stores want me there. This week I'm at 45 hours and will be getting overtime pay for it all, which will help my financial situation.
My aunt convinced me to go to FCC and see how close I am to an Associates degree. So I went in and based off my HS transcript and FCC courses I'm halfway to a degree, add in a year at Winthrop (they need to re-evaluate my transcript for here) and I think I'm going to be 2 or 3 courses from a degree. My aunt has pledged to pay for the courses so it's at no cost to me and I'll finally have some degree. I am thinking about going and getting a degree in some business-related field (likely management) while continuing with a full time job as a manager at Pizza Hut (while hopefully moving up to Assistant manager and then RGM) so that I'll accomplish both getting the degree and the years of experience required to get any job in this wonderful economy. I still don't like the idea of college, since it's selling out to "the man" especially in my case where moving up through the company really teaches you more than the degree, but I guess you have to play the game until we get some form of revolution (and unfortunately it's not looking like the Ron Paul kind is happening =/) but even then it likely won't change this aspect much.
I am currently living nearly an hour outside of Frederick, so every day I'm commuting quite a bit to do anything. Amber is an hour and a half away whether she's at her friends or her parents place and work takes anywhere from 45min to 1hr 15min to get to. Luckily my car makes this still a feasible trip financially, but it does make me a bit tired. Left at 10:30am yesterday and got home just after midnight, did nothing other than work and commute. But it is nice to see that I now have a desire to work, something I did not have for a long time. I'm unsure whether if things had been different with college if I would've come to this earlier in life or not, impossible to tell really. If I am finishing out a degree though it's even more lame of me to have dropped out. Just proves how human I really am, which I did not really consider myself back then. I considered myself so superior to others, probably part of why I was a republican, lulz. I do wish I could have been emotionally/mentally together like I am now back when I had entered Winthrop. I would have stayed in school and been able to weather the breakup, which was inevitable and might have helped me quite a bit in that scenario. And so I would have had a degree, likely in a business field and not computer science but that's fine, still little to no debt, and I would've had a few years of college to look back on, because I do have some fond memories of my limited time there. Of course as a counterpoint I could likely already be an RGM if I had been a delivery driver 7 years ago.
Man wtf...my boss just called me and asked me about some situation last night about me "getting into it" with the server about someone getting fired from another pizza hut and I have no idea what he's talking about. As in, I didn't have any such conversation with the server nor do I even know anything about the person getting fired from another pizza hut. Aside from the RGM no longer there at that pizza hut I don't know anything about anyone else getting fired from other places.
