Well to put it plainly, I am quite a bit stressed out.
Work: I am glad that the holidays are over. So much tension between everyone. Even the managers were threatening to quit. It is a pain in the ass to work with kids who don't take their job seriously enough to even show up at their scheduled time, if at all. In order to combat this we had to enforce some rules which have been lax from the beginning, and that pissed people off. There's too many double-standards, man.
I used to ride people to and from work EVERY single day and not once did anyone offer me a penny. And I went WAY the fuck out of my way. So finally I started asking for money. And even then they didn't give me anything. Tired of being used and abused, expected to fucking cart people around. Finally I told everyone find your own way, don't even bother asking me. Work reimbursed me for a full tank of gas, but that doesn't even begin to cover it.
I am making only enough money at this job to pay my bills, and very little spending money, if any. I am going to ask for a 2 dollar raise, and if they can't give it to me, I will be moving on. Sorry guys.
Car: Having a lot of fucking problems with my car. Got one major one fixed, the exhaust, costing like 700 and some odd bucks. Fucking tire went flat and the bead is broken so I can't refill it, gotta get a new one. That's $130, plus an alignment, another $80. While it's in the shop I need to have the ball joints replaced 'cause Dodge fucking sucks, and my car is 10 years old this year. Another $600. Luckily I kept the insurance money that was given to me in order to fix the body damage, so none of this has to come out of my own pocket, really. Still, a huge pain in the ass. I am currently driving my sister's old car.
Love: Haha.
Sex: Haha!!
Anime/Manga: Got tired of Dattebayo's bullshit. Started reading Naruto and Bleach manga. Almost caught up on Naruto which is LIGHTYEARS ahead of the anime. And g'damn is the story amazing!
Fat: Rejoined Gold's for a sweet $25 a month (hell yeah!). My sister and her boyfriend also joined, so I have company. Brandon is using one of my week-passes, so hopefully he will like it enough to join, too. Unfortunately his rates will be the standard $40 a month, if so. Now just gotta choose which diet I want to do, officially. Originally wanted to do Atkin's 'cause I like the idea of losing weight fast. But due to the money situation sticking to the diet would be harder than planned. I think I might do my DDR-diet -- tomato soup, strawberries, bananas, chicken noodle soup, water water water, carrots, and like one real meal a day at dinner, meaning a piece of meat, a small salad, and a side of like noodles or bread or something.
Friends: Man you guys fucking suck. Only been hanging out with a few special people lately. But you know, quality over quantity. AHH SHIT.
Butts: This word is put into retirement.
Family: Tension is high as mom is being laid off from her job of 30 years inna month or two. Mom was out for several weeks due to getting her gall bladder removed (which didn't even fix the problem). They fucked up her money something terrible so we're having huge issues paying the bills right now. They are finally charging me rent, too. I don't mind paying it, even though the small amount they asked for doesn't really help. Dad hates his job, he works like 70 hours a week. The people treat him like shit. He comes home bitching every day and takes out his frustrations by talking to us like shit. It pisses me off, but I do the same thing when I am angry at the world. So I don't take it personally. It makes me sad to see him push people away like this, though. He is miserable and there is nothing I can do to help him.... aside from growing up and doing what I should be doing. And I'm working on that. For real.
School: Waiting for them to send my transcripts to my school of choice. Will update you from there.
And now, off to the gym!
