Ok I Lied...
I know I made a promise to keep my blog up-to-date but as soon as school started life went to shit and I neglected this. I'm writing now because I've got alot on my mind, I'm here alone with no one but my computer to talk to and this is what a blog is right?, a place to get your thoughts out. So here we go, the last 2 months in a nutshell....
School: well as you know I'm a graduate student at York, a Masters in Environmental Studies will be mine by 2008. More specifically the piece of paper will say Planning, Design, and Green Business. York University SUCKS ASS! I have grown very irritated with their disorganization. I've been there for a month a half and already I want out. I wish I could go into detail about what's going on but I said this is 2 months in a nutshell, and well I can't think of a nut that's large enough, except a coconut.
Work: yeah that's right I got a job. Nothing to get excited about really, I applied all over for a part time job in retail just to pay off my credit card due to my uncontrollable spending habits, and instead ended up with a full-time assistant management position at Stokes in the Heartland Centre. Considering I need the money and this was the best offer in front of me I took it. Little did I know I was walking into the lion's pit. Make no mistake I am very qualified to manage a store, I have done it before with way more responsibility a stress than this place. But, this store has 5 people on staff, all of which have been there for at least a year, and in I come as assistant manager. Which means they're not happy about it. What's more stupid is none of them wanted the position. Meanwhile one of the other 3rd key girls gave her notice before I got there, and that's just adding to all of their discontent which makes me the punching bag. So I've been put in a really bad situation. If you happen to know me (like actually know me), please call me and help me decide... Do I stay because I need the money, or do I leave because I don't need that kind of stress?
Home Life: My mom's cool, my dad is still invading my personal space and neglecting my privacy. He's reading my mail that I leave lying on the floor but yet can't acknowledge my large calendar on my wall that has my schedule on it, including my days off from work and school. So the excuse for waking me up at 7:30am on my only day off just to ask if I'm going to school is just plain retarded.
My Car broke down... again, my friends are sad with their lives, and well I'm hoping for my mid-life crisis to be less painful than my quarter life crisis. Mark your calendars y'all I'll be 25 on Jan 24th.
Peace
