Busy, but slow day today…I learned, finally, how to take the ice cream machine apart at work. It has taken 2.5 years for someone to show me. It’s really very simple…but anyway. Gail, a new lady, called in sick today with a headache. Steve, my boss wasn’t too happy about that, and for any informed employee (which she is not, at the moment) it is gorunds for automatic termination. Reason being is that she probably didn’t know she has to call in 4 hours before her shift if she is not going to come. It was no biggie thought, we had enough people to cover it.
I got some disturbing decisions on my car tonight. I have been given 3 choices, none of them resulting in a driver’s license any time soon.
- take out a loan to pay my stepdad for the remainder of the car. (which is not possible, since I have no credit)
- sell the car and note to my brother and get refunded, with no car
- double my payments, stay on a learner’s permit, pay it off in 1.5 years, and move out (depending on whether or not I get the Manager’s position)
Either way I am out by August 1, 2004. I’ll be 21, and I should be moved out, but it is a shocker of being on my own, and not for school. At least I will be able to use my computer when I want, but my life will have to revolve around a schedule…a strict schedule, and a budget.
I feel I am getting better at budgets, and starting to warm up to doing things right away, instead of waiting until the last minute.
Hmm…I saw Amanda today. I didn’t say much to her, neither did she to me. That doesn’t really mean anything. I just lost my train of thought when I turned my radio on just now.
I really wish the plans for my future would quit changing so much and so rapidly. I left ETBU telling everyone that I would be at TSTC in the fall, and online, and in 2 years living in Longview in an apartment with Jay. Now, I will be a Manager of Hubbard Dairy Queen (Lord willing) living around Hubbard, without Jay, and going to TSTC at nights a year or two later. Hmm.. I guess all that matters is that I will be moved out. Jay can come ive with me if he wants, but it would probably not be financially sound for him.
Anyway I’d really like to talk to Benji and Amy. I haven’t spoken to anyone since I have been here, but Amy (for about 2 minutes) and Cracky (for about 5 minutes)_. I miss them (all my friends) but it seems that no one misses me. We’ll see how things go when they all go back to school.
Well…church is in the morning, and that is bound to be boring, so I need my sleep. Laterz.
Song in my head: Hard to say – GreenDay?
Cravings: Homemade Bread
Mood: Tired/Bored
Thought: “We had a fast paced game of Uno tonight…ahh the memories of Cracky, Drew, Mike, Loven, and Chilly (myself) playing the card-shooting Uno in Linebery. Our next game night e’re going to Farkle!”
