So we have a house cycle of chores to be done, and I've been doing my best to get them done. Unfortunately this week my performance wasn't up to house standards. I walked out to find that I was written down as not performing on our little chart keeping track of who skips out on chores(mind you, "SKIPS OUT"). When you're written down that means that 5 dollars are deducted off of everyone else's chores, and 15 is added on to yours. I'm livid. I shouldn't be this angry, but it's just as if someone slipped it in trying to keep me from noticing. It's like someone said, "Oh, I know you did a bad job, even though you tried, but I'm not going to tell you you did a bad job and just charge you." I sent an e-mail to everyone telling them I'm sorry, but there was a misunderstanding on duties, and if they want me to make up my chores, then I would be more than willing and we'll call this a no good do over. I mean we're all friends in this house, right? Apparently not. I feel like a price has been put on my friendship, and that price is 15 dollars. I guess I'll just pay it and forget about it. This comes at a time that I'm bogged down with 4 days of work at 6 in the morning, 3 huge projects that make up a third of the grades of my three classes, and on top of that my girlfriend and I split up leaving me slightly unstable. I think I'm entitled to be a bit emotional right now.
