Honestly, it has been quite a while since I've had a real update. By the way, Dara, I might actually have a chance at an ivy league diploma. I will explain further on down.
First, let me just say that I am royally fucked as of, well, about two weeks ago. Because of this recent bout of depression (which I'm still fighting by the way) I have had several severe lapses in judgement which resulted in the non payment of important bills such as vehicle insurance and cell phone, both of which I am currently without. LoL. Anyway, I am in such dire financial straights that it may actually take two months of my pay to get everything worked out. And remember kids, I make around 1100 a month after taxes and allotments. Hm, perhaps it will take three months' pay. At any rate, like I mentioned before, I'm fucked. But, I did it to myself. So I must undo it myself. Somehow.
Okay, so, now comes the true reason for this entry, which my turn out to be rather long winded and excessively lengthy due to the fact that I feel like using real words, and I'm rather wide awake for ten after one in the morning. So basically, I hate work. Well, no, I hate working ALL THE TIME. And I can't take a vaction either. Not until after October. And i realy need one. Cuz I am losing MY FUCKING MIND. Honestly, I am not a fan of repetition. What the fuck was I thinking? Tower, my printer won't work. Tower, I can't access my email. Tower, is my computer back from maintainence yet? Tower, drive here to pick up this to bring it there and give it to a person who may or may not be there. And if they aren't there, wait around for them to show up. And if they don't show up by lunch time, go to lunch. I need a break. And not just a weekend, or a four day. I need like a whole week or two to veg around and rejuvenate, and bore myself into wanting to work. Honestly, I thought being torn out of my mother's house when I was a kid was stressful, but shit, this job is fucking getting to me. Grr.
So, I started looking at things I could do to make it better. And there's this program called Green to Gold. Basically, the Army wil let me out of active duty service for four years. And pay for my education. As in, a full ride scholarship to a bacclaurette. Can anyone say "Word?" Any college that will accept me and also has an ROTC program, and my tuiton is covered. I would also receive a small stipend for spending I guess, not real sure on that, I need to do more research. But the gist of it is, I'd be a civilian for four years, my education would be paid for, and once I complete the program I'd be an officer in the Army for a minimum of four years. And officers make an assload more than enlisted. The lowest ranking officer makes almost 2000 a month, which, okay, not TONS more than I make right now, but it goes up quick. Plus, hello, free four year degree in whatever I want? Dara, do you think Cornell would accept me? Haha. The whole process I guess is a lot of paper work, but I think if I got on it right now I'd be able to start in the spring. But I'm not sure.
Cuz there's also another option. The army needs pilots. I could learn how to fly. Like, airplanes. And when I get out, I could get hired at freakin Jet Blue or some shit, ya heard? And pilots make assloads of cash. So that's also an option. Would you guys feel safe in a plane if you knew I was flying it? Hmm.
Okay, it is now two in the morning. I think sleep is becoming a less likely occurence tonight by the minute. Tomorrow is going to suck. Like, a lot. Way more than a lot even. Power point presentation all day. And I can't fall asleep. There is not enough caffiene in the world to keep me awake during tht shit. Which means I'll have to find a way to get out of it somehow. Grrr.
