taking time
Well, I'm waiting on James to finish writing something so I can proof it for him so I figured I'd write in here since i'm through playing on facebook. So much for that last bit about $3.01 for gasoline, I've paid $3.15 now, and who knows what it'll be in another couple of days. Ugh. It's hard to believe gasoline has gone up so much in about 10 years or less. Anyway. Not much I can do but complain. Ha.
In other news, I got my mini diploma from TLU today, which was exciting just b/c it looks cool, even if I don't really ever use it for much else. I also was told today that I will start working all the time in customer service from 8-5 I think she said M-F, so I can only hope, I guess, that that is the case, although I might miss working other places, but it will be nice to have a regular schedule that also kind of matches the schedules of most of the other people I have regular non-work contact with. I also borrowed a copy of Dr. R-J's book and have read it the past couple of days over lunch, and one more day ought to pretty much finish it out, and I'm glad I went ahead and started reading it. I haven't yet decided where I want to purchase it, whether I should patron TLU bookstore, or go through Amazon where it's cheaper and if I go to it through a link on the website for the group my therapist works for they get a percentage of sales. But I shall buy it, someday, somewhere. In the meantime, though, I am glad I have started reading it. Some of the things I can totally hear him saying, and some of the stories I have already heard, but it's a good read, albeit short. I am still working on reconciling some of my thoughts and questions about God, but maybe that will come in time.
I am not quite sure what to do with Lowe's either (and I am often amazed at how many people can't spell it when they write checks). I don't want to work there the rest of my life, but I need income and insurance, and it provides both, and it was looking like it wasn't going to be working out so well, I was only scheduled for 29 hours this week, but then today Donna mentioned the 8-5 customer service thing, and I wonder if that has something to do with her wanting me to become a head cashier in a few months, which I would hope would mean a pay raise. Part of me wishes it weren't going to work that way b/c I don't want it, but then part of me thinks maybe this is a good thing, and it will provide some stability and more chances to get involved at church and see where else i want to go with my life and school and such. (plus I get a little tired of ppl in my checkout lines acting like I'm a failure at life for having a college degree and being at Lowe's and they don't even know me) But I guess I'll just keep at it and wait for some better job to fall out of the sky on me, since the normal way of finding one doesn't seem to be working.
But now I have to proofread and I want a pickle, so I'll leave here.
