Ethics
My fears were not unfounded. In Ethics, I am sucking major ass. We finally got out midterms back and she went over a few questions. She threw out 6. Even after she threw those out we had:
90-100 4 people
80-89 6 People
70-79 3 people
60-69 5 people
Guess where I fell? Yep, I got a 65. What REALLY frustrates me is that I had 2 quizzes the same day (READ: Right before the midterm) and I got an 80 and a 90 on those. The quizzes covered about a 1/3 of the material that was on the test... It does make me feel better that 4 other people fell in my range and 3 more people are still in the low end of grades.
The plus side. This midterm is 20% of the grade. Not 30, 40, or 50... So it could be worse. Something like 30% of our grade is participation which includes attendance and I haven't missed a class yet. Ugh. I don't know. I still feel shitty about it.
Moving on. I have an account number for my electric bill and now I have to pay a deposit tomorrow. Thursday Mack and I are signing the lease. Friday we get the keys. Between now and then, this apartment needs to be packed up and maybe even cleaned up.
There's so much crap in this apartment. What is kind of scary is that if we had more living room furniture or kitchen table and chairs there would be even more...
I'm still excited about moving. Not really stressed yet. I have some homework to do for my Thursday night class... I really need to have it done by Thursday... I just feel I have NO motivation.
I applied at Starbucks exactly 2 weeks ago. They haven't called me. I'm thinking I should call them tomorrow. And I need to continue turning in applications.
I have decided for my next job I want to work somewhere that:
1) I will feel appreciated- people will actually be glad to see me and if I go the extra mile I will be recognized for it rather than them trying to get me to do more, more, more and not even getting a Thank you.
2) Has similar values to me. Thrifty Liquor is sexist. They have only 1 female manager. They do not offer health insurance at all. They have life insurance instead. They do not offer things like direct deposit. I can get a slight discount, but that's not really worth all the bullshit and constantly being understaffed, and working more hours than I told them I could because I know if I don't the other employees will suffer. I'm not worried about the customers.
3) Has the opportunity for advancement/pay raises.
There is basically no ladder at Thrifty, unless you want to kill yourself and work 80 hours a week. (No, Thank You!) And I'm a woman... so that ladder basically does not exist.
I want somewhere that I could be a run of the mill entry level employee and then maybe work my way up to lower management or even middle management. I think I could direct people. I have skills. No one seems to care about my skills, but I have them!
Any job openings/corporation suggestions?
I'm considering not taking classes this summer, but if I do that, I need to be working somewhere that wouldn't be a total waste of time and that I could be making real money and then cut back my hours when I start back at school in the fall.
Of course with our possible looming recession... I'm not sure about any of this, but there has to be something that is better than Thrifty.
