When ordering from a drive-through I always tell them I want the food to go.

For anyone who's interested -- the place I've been working at for the past two weeks, I quit from my job there today, giving a two week's resignation time. It's been hard work. 13-hour long days on standard, and to top that off, at some times the boss has been a real bitch; told us we can't do stuff right, and been otherwise ridiculous -- I've been

Whoa, 13-hour long days??? that is crazy. how do you have time for this journal, watching TV, and that job? i'm having a hard time with school and a 16-hour-a-WEEK job... and the only TV i watch is Grey's Anatomy, which is only one hour a week.

Haha, that's the problem -- I don't have time for a life! Usually, it's getting up at 6am to get ready for work, arriving at 7, then pulling a day that doesn't end until 8-9pm... so some days, it's 14hours. (i'm a type that is very reluctant to complain, so i'm sorry if it comes off as complaining, it's not my intention at all!) Then you get home, eat and shower... and then you're so damned beat, so all your energy to do something else is slaked. It SUCKS!
But at my coming job, it'll be a bit more "normal" -- on average, 11 hour days, which may not sound like much of a difference, but it will be. So yay for that :D

And hey, school IS like a job. That's the good thing about work -- you don't get any homework, lol. So school plus a 16h/week job is actually pretty dandy of you IMO! What do you work with, when you're not in school? :)

Btw, I love your icon ;) If it said "music is my soul" instead, I so would've snatched it, lol!

Yea 11 hours is crazy. Tonight I'm working about 10 hours, and I'm already pretty dazed by the sound of it. I work overnight at Walmart, lol, which is actually one of the better paying, more flexible jobs around here (for students, like me).

And don't worry, it didn't sound like you were complaining at all. You must really love horses to be able to dedicate such a large portion of your life to them.

Hey, I've got nothing against working at Walmart. Are the people you work with nice, do you get along and so? That usually helps TONS if you're in a job which you might otherwise find a bit... perfunctory.

I do love horses, they've been a part of my life, well, haha, all of it actually. It's the love that keep me going!

The people I work with are the reasons why it's so hard for me to eave. I was going to change jobs by next semester, but I already really love the atmosphere I'm in... if only it wasn't over night.

[iloveyoursoul]

Oh, that's so hard when you work with people you really like, like that. You've got to be selfish about it though, and reason with what's going to work out best for YOU and you alone. Do you think you'll be changing jobs or not?
