These past few weeks starting from Valentine's weekend have been rough, and not just because I'm still single. Walgreens has put me up full time at night now, so between both jobs, I've only been getting four hours of sleep every day. Problems at Walgreens have been interrupting my work pace, but they're not the sort of things that can't be helped ( Read more... )

Ok, so it looks as though things are finally falling into place the way they need to. I got pulled aside by Walgreens the other night, and they told me that I'm finally being hired. I'll be working full time, making $11.65 an hour. That was just what I needed to hear. Because Walgreens is committing to me now, I can afford to leave my other job ( Read more... )

Well, maybe not, but it sure feels like it! Thanksgiving is proving to be a recurring theme this year. I've gone to the Thanksgiving party for the cleaning company employees, got leftovers from the 1st shift party at the warehouse, got invited to the second shift party at the warehouse, and we have yet to have Thanksgiving at home! I don't know if ( Read more... )

It's been a while. Several factors have conspired to keep me busy, not the least of which are my two new jobs. I'm about two weeks in now, and about as adjusted as I will ever get with them. The factory clean-up job is not hard, although I find myself doing the same things over and over again throughout the workday. Since the machines used to ( Read more... )

So far so good. Just completed the first day working two jobs. Surprising thing is that I don't really feel tired. We'll see how that goes as the week wears on! Not much to talk about today, as we're still going through orientation. I switched to second shift at my cleaning job, and I'll be working part-time there now, since training at the ( Read more... )

Yeah, it's been about a week now since I started working cleaning up transmission fluid at this warehouse. It's not a bad job at all, though maybe I am just more tolerant of it than some people; I got a lot of sympathy comments from the coworkers my mom introduced me to. Speaking of which, working at the same place as one's parents is...interesting ( Read more... )

Well, there's some interesting stuff happening in the Journey world these days. There are only 10 shows left in the Revelation Tour, after which the boys plan to take a break and set aside some dedicated time to work on their next album. They have a DVD of the Manila concert coming out this month. Also, I heard a rumor that Gregg Rollie, their ( Read more... )

Well, it took a while, but it has finally happened. I've run out of options. Today was the last day I had to work at the Vocational Rehab Workshop. They did everything they could to help me this time around, but they were unable to find me any work, so now I'm on my own. I applied to my last resort (temp agency) about a week ago, and haven't heard ( Read more... )

Not much to write about today, other than the fact that I saw the movie this weekend. It was good. And more surprisingly, it was accurate (to a degree). Hugh Jackman has never looked better as Wolverine, and with this film, he puts himself up there with Christopher Reeve as "most appearances in film as a single character". I think they're both tied ( Read more... )

This is not my week, I guess.

On Monday, I was unable to go to work because the van never came to get me. Apparently, the person at the Vocational Rehab that had been overseeing my job training at Walgreens neglected to inform the driver that I was finished with the program, and Monday is usually a Walgreens day for me. No matter, I've gotten that ( Read more... )
