Another Episode of The Good, The Bad and THE GIFF!
Welcome viewers, to another exciting episode of The Good, The Bad, and THE GIFF! It has been a little over 2 weeks since we last heard from our hero... Lets see whats been happening.
*~*THE GOOD*~*
There has been a lot of good stuff going on lately... and I stand by my origional statement that 2006 is going to be so much better than 2005 was, and the good stuff has already started.
I think one of the biggest things for me right now is my job. I think that I am going to do very well in this job. I realy feel as though Wells Fargo could be a place that I can retire from. I dont think that I will be looking for other employment for quite some time. Also, I think that I am doing pretty well. It does get a bit discouraging because I am not in a permanent store yet, and I have had 5 interviews and was shot down for all of them. But I did get the same feedback from most of them... That is that no matter where I get placed, that I will do well. But that does make me wonder... Is that the response that they give everyone? Am I saying or doing something in my interview that says to them "Jen sucks... Lets just give her the standard text book answer and move on with our lives..." I certainly hope that is not the case. I really want to find a permanent position soon because there is no room for me where I am now. I am in a store that only needs 3 bankers, but has 4. So there isnt much for me to do... And I really wish that there was. I guess I shouldnt stress so much because they wouldnt have hired me if there wasnt a spot for me at some point. So I guess I just have to be patient, and take in all of the information that I am learning... And just keep learning and making myself better in the world of the bank. I do need to be more optimistic... And I will look at it this way... I have the opprotunity to make sure that I am learning all that I can, and I am in my rookie quarter... So I shouldnt worry as much about sales, as much as I should worry about gaining the knowlege.
The next good thing-- I am going to be getting an apartment in April. John and I are going to be getting a place together... This has not been welcomed with any approval from the people that I care about, but it is a decision that John and I made a long time ago. And I am confident that it is going to work out and all will be good. John and I already bought some living room furniture... Its really nice. It needs to be cleaned a little, but thats about it. Its a light tan, leather love seat, chair and ottoman. They are very comfortable. And you simply cannot beat the price!We went thrift store hopping and we found ourselves in the Goodwill on 1st Ave... And the furniture was $135 for the whole set. That was one hell of a deal. So we bought it, and then John and his father picked that up Saturday. We went to Wal-Mart yesterday and we put some stuff on lay away. We picked up the bathroom decor, an entertainment center, 2 lamps, some glasses and some silverware. As I understand, John's parents are going to give us (or lend us) a dining room table and chairs. So it looks like we have almost everything that we need! I know that we are going to need a coffee table, end tables, a dresser, and some dishes... But that will come soon enough! I am very excited about all of this. =)
Believe it or not, I do understand my friend's concerns. I really do. What if I get annoyed with John? What if it adds stress to the relationship? What happens if we break up? Well... Here are my answers. If I get annoyed with John, I will do the same thing that I do in the even that I get annoyed with Chris or Jeff. I will get out of the house for a while... Take some time to cool off... and John will do the same in that event. And the stress on the relationship? I dont see that as a problem. The past year has been nothing but stress on the relationship. I asked myself so many times if it was worth waiting for him... if it was even worth being in a relationship with him because it was so rare that I was able to see him. And there were times that I was unable to talk to him for weeks at a time because of his situation. But the bottom line here is that I love John. And I realized a long time ago that he was worth waiting for... and that I knew that he made me happy. And now that he is here, I just want to be with him. If we break up... Well... That is something that cant really be stopped. If its going to happen, its going to happen. Its not something I am going to worry about because there is no point in worrying about something that I cannot predict. My view on relationships is as follows... If it is meant to be, its meant to be. If not, then it wont happen. I am living for now... I love John and I think this is right. So it shall be done.
I got to see Pavla last night. I introduced John to her and we all had a jolly good dinner at 5 and Diner. I dont see Pavla nearly enough and I always look forward to seeing her. She and I grew apart in High School... But I never forgot about her. And I am just glad that she and I arestill friends after all these years... I can still talk to her... and she can still confide in me. I dont think that will ever change. She has an interview for dental school in Boston. I hope she does well in that. I think she would really benefit from a fresh start. She has been through a lot in the past couple of years. Yet somehow, she has managed to stay positive. And I really admire her for that. I do hope she gets into that dental school... I want the best for my friend.
>The Bad<
There isnt much bad right now... And I am very happy about that. The only bad is the same that it always is... My parents. But even this turns out to be good for them. My dad had court the other day because he violated a restraining order. He didnt go to jail, but he is going to be on probation for a long time... and he is going to have to go to anger management classes. But hes not in jail... So he cant really complain.
My mom and dad are going to be filing for divorce... and all I have to say at this point, is its about fucking time! I have been telling them for years that they shouldnt be married anymore. But at the same time, it wasnt my place to say so. I had to voice my opinion on that because they did ask me from time to time. They said that they stayed together because it was cheaper to be married than it would be to be separated... and that they were staying together for Sarah. Well... Both of those reasons are bullshit. You know what I think is funny? My dad doesnt want to get divorced. If I were married, and my spouse had me arrested on false chages and basically set me up to be arrested, I would have said goodbye a long time ago! But my dad is stubborn... And somehow he thinks my mom will change from the heartless woman that she has become to the sweet lady that he married... And that is something that will just not happen any time soon. Ah well. Not my problem.
*THE GIFF*
So that brings us to the final segment of todays episode... I am happy. Thats it! I am happy. I like my job... I have great friends, a boyfriend whom I love... I have all that i want out of my life right now. HOORAY!
