Ok, so I was reading someones blog yesterday and they said that they had decided to delete all their old blog posts (after saving them of corse) because it’s a new year so there should be a fresh start. (If this was you let me know and I will link to you.) Anyways..I was thinking of doing the same thing. Only also adding a new layout and organizing my pages and such.
I’m also going to start trying to write blog posts that are a decent length. Most of mine are fairly short and usually annoy me. I was thinking about making myself get to a certain word count…but maybe not. I don’t know yet. We shall see.
Yesterday was a crappy day. Well, school was ok (first day back)..but work was crap. After a day like that at work I’ve decided that I hate working there. I’ve never liked working ‘normal’ jobs. WalMart is definatly a ‘normal’/deadend job. They tell you that it isn’t a deadend job, they tell you that anyone can work their way up the ladder in the WalMart corporation. But the way I see it…it’s a deadend job. I don’t think there are many people that aspire to be a WalMart employee.
Not only is it a deadend job, but they treat you like crap. Let me explain:
Sense I started back in August I have been sick/unable to work quite a bit. (Not as much as January of last year, but that’s another story.) WalMart has a point system. You get a point when you miss a day of work, half a point when you are late, 1/3 of a point if you leave early but only after you have been there for at least half of your shift. Well, I had a dentist appt. in September and another in October, both of which I couldn’t get them to let me have time off for. So I got points for that. I almost passed out at work 3 times and decided to leave early in November. I got in a wreck in November and was late. I had the misscariage the beginning of December and was late because of going to the doctor. I had a cyst before Christmas and left early one day because I was in so much pain. And I think that’s it. So all of those times I have had an actual reason for not being there. I’m not like the teenagers who call in on Friday because of a party, or the ones that call in on Saturday because they are hugover because of a party. That’s not me. I get a job because I need it. I work hard for the people I’m employed by..but aparently that’s not enough. Now they have told me that sense I haven’t been there for more than 6 months if I miss another day I will be fired. Well f**k them, I don’t give a s**t.
Ok, please excuse me for that last sentence. I don’t normaly talk like that. WalMart is just not one of those places that I can stand to work at for a long period of time. I keep saying that I will be quitting at the end of this semester…but it may be before that. Of corse, I won’t quit if I know we still need the money. That’s the only reason I’m there now.
Anyways…. How’s this for a decent length post? haha.
I walked to the post office the other day. It was a bit chilly…but it was nice to get out of the house. It’s not that far from my house (I live in a very small town, the post office is the only thing here execpt for the beer store by the highway). That day was a very un-eventful day. I also swept and swiffered the floors. I could have done more to clean the house…but I just didn’t feel like it. :/ I’m allowed a lazy day.
School starts back up next week. I went and got my books today. I have four classes (12 hours) and I’m going every day but Friday this semester. Adobe Flash, Adobe InDesign, 3D Animation, and Digital Media Projects are my classes. All computer classes.
I’m excited about this semester, but I will also be happy when it’s over. I’ll be graduating this semester. Once I graduate I am going to start putting up flyers for my webdesign and then go out on the road with Cory. I think I will spend two weeks out with him then two weeks home. I would probably stay out full time execpt that I will need to come home every now and then to collect money from clients. O and I will get to quit my “day job”. lol.
Right now I feel like I could possibly go crazy. Actually, I fee like everything I do is mostly pointless right now. I feel like I’m not getting anything done and I also just don’t feel like doing much.
I need to get a job. But I also feel like I should promote my web design business more. If I did get a job then I wouldn’t have time to do the web design and my school work. But I have to do my school work, I’ve come too far to quit now.
If I got a job and didn’t do web design (which really isn’t a choice sense I’m in the middle of two projects right now) I don’t know that I would really have time for school work. Atleast not at the place Cory is working at. I would really like working with Cory. I feel like we don’t get enough time together any more. I’m sure he dosen’t know this, but I really enjoyed just riding around town for an hour today. Just to spend that time with him.
I guess I just feel kind of lost right now. I know what I want to do and I know what I need to do. And those just don’t match up right now.
Alrighty, at some point I will actually have a little something about me in here, untill then, this is all ya get. :P Sorry. O and there will be a picture too. For now I'm going to work on this layout. It's almost done. :)
