So, last week I forgot to mention that I got a burger from Jack in the Box, which is a HUGE deal for me. It was around 3:30am, and they were the only place open, and we were hungry for fast food. I have never, ever eaten there before, and I was planning on it never happening. In 3rd grade one of my best friends, Eric, was in the hospital for a week because of the huge ecoli scare. Yes, I realize that as a result Jack in the Box is now probably the safest place to eat, but I've always just been spiteful. And the thing is, the burger wasn't even that great... I sold my beliefs for .99 cents. BUT I WAS HUNGRY!
Work is going really, really well. Having tons of fun, and I'm starting to find my mix of being a buddy, but also making sure they fall in line to my iron fist. Also finding the mix of setting and enforcing rules, and being a power hungry fiend who sets needless rules and worries too much. And it's all tons of fun! Next week I'm scheduled to work in the Pre-K room, which is definitely not what I'm used to. I'm a little nervous, but it's gonna be fun!
Work isn't without its Work Drama of Doom, though. So here's the deal... I have a friend who works there who I've known for over 5 years, Jennifer. She's the one who kind of directed me towards the job. She has dated Ryan, another teacher at KinderCare, for 6 months. Ryan is my co-teacher, we run the same class. It makes for this whole awkward triangle. I talk to Jennifer a lot because we're friends, and she's the only one there I really know well yet. It's all extremely innocent, but Jennifer says that Ryan has been acting really weird and jealous the last couple days, and she assumes it's because I started working there. So, I kind of feel bad, because I want everyone to get along... she's my friend, and he's my other teacher... but at the same time I don't feel bad because I haven't done anything wrong. Things are just going to be really awkward if they break up, though. Gah!
I'm so broke right now, it's not even funny. Really, it's not the humorous kind of poor. I had to bum $20 of my mom because I spent my last $3--in quarters--to pay for gas today. How sad is that? With the sky-rocketing gas prices, that's hardly anything. Must... last... to... paycheck.
I have to get up at 7am tomorrow and get ready for CPR and first-aid training. Hooray!!! I also have to get a TB test by Friday, which take several days. And get glasses/contacts... my eyesight is pathetic. Gah again!
Sleep.... now!
