LiveJournal! How I have neglected thee.... probably for a good reason...
So! Where was I...
I got demoted and transferred about a month ago. I'm at Englewood as a Kitchen Manager.
And aside from my back, I don't think I could be happier.
I realize now that being an AGM was a good experience and ... uh... good money.. sort of... Not really based on hours... but it paid the bills and such... *off topic*
Anyway, ultimately, no, it is not the career for me. Yes, yes, I know all of you are shocked by this... I mean what else did you see me doing in 5 years?
And that thought was probably what did it. The thought of dealing with all the bullshit, all the stress, all the stupid admonishments for things that were beyond my control, all the times that the good things I had done were overlooked or claimed by others, etc. etc. for FIVE MORE YEARS and I said "Ya know what? No. I don't think so."
So I got demoted. Big Fucking Deal. Did it suck? Oh yeah. That hurt. But I'll cope. I'm good at that.
Driving to Englewood I could do without, but the staff works hard, no one gives me shit, and they take instruction well. They're easily on par with Beavercreek as far as quality goes. Gold stars and smilies for all, pizza party on Friday, etc.
Sinclair, yes, classes and stuff: Fact 1: I go to them. I know, Drew and Pat are falling out of their chairs. Looking back at my UD transcript I realize I was lucky to pass AT ALL.
Fact 2: I do my homework.*all my old profs and teachers head aspolde* Because what else am I supposed to do? Manage restaurants for the rest of my rapidly shortening life?
Fact 3: I find class INTERESTING. .. well most of them anyway. Sometimes it's boring, but most of the time, "Eh, hell with it. Teach me something."
Fact 4: I think, possibly for the first time EVER, I am actually learning something I can apply. Yes, I learned to write in high school and use that all the time, but some stuff, like using Word and Excel effectively I never really bothered with. Now, however, I see how useful that stuff can be. And so I pay attention in class, do my homework, and...
Fact 5: so far I have straight As. Not real hard, but I see how some other students are in class, not turning homework, failing miserably on tests, and I wonder "Jesus, was I really like that 6 years ago?" So what's my goal now? Wrecking grading curves. Why? Those that are failing? Good. Fuck you for not learning.
I decided to increase my 'concentration' in CIS to include Software Development. Plan - Database Administrator. They say that you need a BA for that, but I've already got one! It's useless, but I've got it! We'll see. Maybe I'll go to WSU when this is all said and done. Too far down the road to think about that now. Need to do this stuff first.
Anyway, need to get to sleep, class all day tomorrow. Then, Fieldy at 9.00pm
