I am officially unemployed.
Yesterday was my last day at Big 5, thank goodness. I have an interview with an insurance company on Wednesday and I putting in a lot of resumes and applications right now. I really want to work as a receptionist, which is what I'm good at. I have gotten some calls for other places, like T-Mobile's call center. I just really want out of retail. Big 5 became unbearable when the managers started taking everything out on the part-timers. I understand that they are stressed because the district manager started coming in every week because of the holidays, but I am working my ass off every day for them and getting nothing but minimum wage and frustration in return.
I am particularly proud of the fact that I have a new years resolution. I've never set any before, simply because I never kept them and always set a really high, unrealistic goal. But mine is to simply have less stress in my life. It starts with the job. But I've got to keep stress down at home and with friends too. Home-wise, it's already better and started when I got back from vacation. I was in relax mode (besides the foot) and I got home and didn't have to work for 3 days. So I took that time to unpack and clean the apartment. And now I feel really bad for all the shit David and I was back and forth for cleaning. Because I cleaned this apartment from top to bottom, on my own, willingly. My problem before was that I didn't want to be told when to do it. Now I can do it when ever I want. And there was nothing wrong with David wanting it to be done, I just couldn't handle being told what to do.
The one thing that isn't helping my stress is Brian. Even before I got back from Florida he was hounding me. When are you getting back??? When are you going to come over and hang out? I've only been back in Bellingham since the 27th, but he has been bothering me to come over ever since. When I don't he guilt trips me, which is something I don't need. And I can't help thinking that he doesn't want to see me, he just wants to see me naked. I guess I have misconceptions about him. But it's frustrating because I am not his girlfriend, nor do I want to be. So why is he pressing for me to come over so much and then being a pill when I don't come over?
The end of Florida was good, despite being on crutches. We went to Universal Studios, Inslands of Adventure, and then the Magic Kingdom. On Christmas Eve we drove the hour or so out to Cocoa Beach. The boys went out into the water for a while and Mardy and I stayed on the beach. We went out to lunch and then drove back to Orlando to back and be ready for the flight home. We got back into SeaTac airport at 3:30ish on Christmas day and then once we got back to Woodinville, Aaron and I started for Vancouver. We got to my mom's right when the food was being taken out of the oven, so we got food right away and then opened presents. I got a lot of clothing, which I always love.
