Major update, and did I mention that my birthday is this month?
Okay, so a LOT has happened since I last journaled. Here's the lowdown, in sections.
On the job front
~ I'm still working part-time at Old Navy. At times I love it, at other times I want to run away screaming. I felt both of those extremes in my 9-hour shift today. I blame it on 1) the fact that I still can't find a full-time job, 2) the fact that the hormones aren't exactly stable right now, and 3) the fact that my feet can't handle these long shifts too well. Even the short ones wear me down pretty quickly. I'm gonna have to go on and cough up the money to buy some expensive shoes (both sneakers and dress). Any store suggestions?
~ I'm kind of working for AFLAC, but I'm gonna put a stop to that tomorrow. After considering it all, I feel that I was rushed into the decision. And after I made that hasty decision and started setting up licensing classes and paying fees and whatnot, my dad called and said "I know insurance sales, and I know you. There's a 95% chance that you won't like it." I love my dad, and he does know me. And he also does know insurance, because he sold it once. I trust his judgement, and I also trust the doubts that I was having this morning (but chose to ignore because I'm so effing desperate to have something full-time).
~ So I'll continue my search. I'm on Monster, KnoxvilleHelpWanted, Knox News Sentinel, and even Teachers-Teachers.com. I've given up on retail, because pretty much the only full-time positions there are management (I have no management experience).
On the home front
~ Once I actually find time to sit down and call Roz, I'll be cementing the plans to move into her rental house. I'm VERY excited. I've been looking through the paper for yard sales and stuff. I cannot WAIT to furnish and decorate my new home!!! Target, here I come! O:-D
On the man front
~ Nothing here. Shocker, I know. I'm still crushing on a certain incredibly-awesome-but-totally-taken teacher.
On the health front
~ I totally ate/drank something I shouldn't have eaten/drunk. It was unintentional--I forgot that I shouldn't have it. And Ill be paying the price tonight (this morning) and tomorrow (later today). Thankfully I only have class, no work again until Friday. Ugh. I really don't feel well right now. I hate it when I make stupid mistakes that could've been easily avoided if only I had a functioning brain.
~ I'm still gaining weight. I'm the heaviest I've ever been. I'm not happy (and if anyone starts lecturing me about how I'm still skinny and I have nothing to worry about, I have four words for you: Shut the &^%$ up. I'm not healthy, and that's the bottom line). I'm also afraid to buy new clothes, because I don't know if they'll fit in the next few months. I wish Old Navy made adult clothes with the adjustable waist like they do with all the kids' pants.
Other random stuff
~ So what's with the "~" anyway? Why was it created? What is its purpose? Is it a replica of the thingy on top of the "ñ," or is it something separate? "Tilda," is that what it's called?
~ My birthday is coming up! If you wanna buy me something, check out my wishlist at Amazon.com (You can look me up by my name, or email address I think)!
Well, I was tired, got my second wind, and now I think I'm tired again. I shall go to bed before I get a third wind. Buenas noches!
