Anybody hiring??
First, I shall start with a few new pictures.
Now onto better things.
I have been really stressed out lately about my job. I love working at Buffalo Wild Wings, but for some reason I am not enjoying Claywell as much as I used to, and for no reason. It might be the drive, or the fact that its an every day thing and I find myself working 7 days a week. I just don't know what it is. It's not my co-workers or my boss. I am, well...was, up for a promotion in October there where I would get a $.75 raise and a few extra tasks. I called in sick the past couple of days because I just didn't feel well, so I was given a weeks vacation (not my choice) to figure out if Claywell is the right place for me. Due to these missed days, I will not get my promotion right away. I really do have the best manager ever. Granted, we didn't really get along at first, but as the months went on I was able to prove myself to her and the program, and now we have become pretty good friends and I can talk to her about any problems I have with her or the program.
So I really don't know what it is. I totally adore the kids, and if I do leave, they will be the only thing I really miss. It puts me in tears just thinking about not seeing those kids every day, knowing that they look up to me so much. It might sound weird to you, but you wouldn't understand until you were in my shoes and you had these little people admire your every move and tell you "You're my favorite counselor" and "I wanna be a counselor just like you when I grow up." It really makes you smile knowing you influence these kids so much and you hardly even do anything. I just don't know what I want to do.
I know if I leave Claywell I will regret it like I did last time, but I know if I stay I won't give 110% like I should be. I drive 35 minutes there and sometimes longer coming home, so it def. would save me money on gas. Plus I would only have to drive far to get to Buffalo Wild Wings, and that wouldn't be everyday. Ya know, it's not even the drive that gets me. Well, it is, but if I was making more than $7.00 an hour, the drive would be worth it. And sure, I could potentially get a raise, but its only 75 cents. Not that much of a difference. I can't just drop a job though. Sure, I make good money at Buffalo Wild Wings, but sometimes I don't. Sometimes I make $20.00-$30.00. It's okay now though, because I know I have a paycheck from Claywell coming at the end of the week. But suppose I had to depend entirely on that $35.00? Suppose I had to live off that? I couldn't do it. So I DEF. need a second job.
So here are my choices:
A.) Find another job and leave the SACC program entirely.
B.) Transfer to an SACC school closer to my house (In Tampa Palms) for $7.00 an hour.
C.) Stick it out at Claywell and drive an hour (there and back) each day for $7.00 an hour.
I have one week to decide. Help me. And if you know anyone who is hiring, let me know.
On a brighter note, Lost is getting SO good. Tomorrow is Thursday, which means its OC time.
Things with Eric couldn't be better. Aside from my job issues, I really am the luckiest person ever. I love him =)
