5 am update
It's been a while since I've had a complete day off that wasn't due to unemployment...
It feels nice.
I hung out with Carlos, Gema, Lisette and Micheal today. We played Scattergories and I kicked ass (as usual). Well, technically speaking, Micheal beat me by 10 points but I refuse to count that because his answers were always pulled out of his ass anyway, and with him, you just never knew when he was being serious. Susan and Jason didn't go. Neither did Jessica. We were hoping to have everyone over and have a big 'ol game like we used to but it just didn't work out that way.
I read over my last few entries and it makes me kinda sad to read the ones about my job at CPI. I really did love that job but when I think about being let go, I know it happened for a reason. I wasn't doing well in school and being let go was like a slap in the face. I remember driving home that day thinking "Imagine this happening 20 years from now, with nothing else to fall back on." I'm kind of glad things happened the way they did, and as depressing as my summer was being unemployed and all, it was a wake up call. I was looking for all these 9-5 jobs that I can move up in and have a future in when the fact of the matter is, I've got a long way to go before I can be in a serious career type job. Right now my main priority needs to be school. As much as I hated the thought of working at Best Buy, it's exactly what I need right now.
Speaking of, Best buy isn't as horrible as I was convinced it would be. Despite the crap pay, the hours are ok, and the people are cool. I had almost forgotten what it was like to stand for a good chunk of hours and memories of McDonald's came rushing back as soon as I had a customer yelling at one of my managers.
Oh, how wonderful it is to be back in the world of dealing with the public.
I'm also glad I got Jessica the job there cause at least thats one person I know and can talk to out of the 384748973289472 freakin' other people that work there. I'm so used to working with no more then like 10 people, and to be shoved into a work place with like 180 - 200 people is kind of insane.
And all I keep hearing is how horrible Black Fridays gonna be. I can hardly wait.
In other news, I need to learn how to budget. How to budget and pay off insanely overdue bills thanks to unemployment. If there's one thing I miss the most from not working, its my phone! I'm so cut off from the universe without it. And I think t-mobile canceled my shit completely which probably means I'm gonna need a new phone number when I can finally pay it off. That mixed in with what I owe school, the concerts coming up, and Christmas gifts, (and of course your birthday Melissa!) means I need to win the lottery, like, tomorrow. Someone needs to make that happen for me quick, thanks.
Time for bed. I feel like I should write more often...
