Red Sox Game 2
Loss 10-4 to Texas Rangers
(1-1)
Well surprising to see two comments on my journal in only my first night back. Today's update is a mixed bag. I absolutely frickin' hate my job. No, not teaching, as at least I have a little autonomy there, and can make some decisions and use my own ideas. Walmart. Ugh. How I hate thee. What's the point of being a boss, when you don't have enough peopl under you to get anything done? On top of that, some of my coworkers are lazy shits/have shitty attitude. On top of all of that, they keep giving us more and more tasks to complete, without any recognition or compensation to account for it. Now i'm a team player, but maybe the high stress nature of my job is finally getting to me. Perhaps I'm just too much of a free thinker to be a cog in the Walmart machine. Either way, I'm only there for three reasons, all of which combined keep me there, unfortunately. One, I get paid well, not super, but I make damn near 9 dollars an hour during the week and 10 dollars an hour on Sundays, when I work 12 hours. Two, they do actually let me get 36 hours in AND keep ALL of my teaching availability open...that's pretty sweet as another job would for sure cramp some of that time out of the schedule. Three, the medical benefits...I haven't really used them, but what if something does happen to me? Together...they keep me sniveling...and dying daily. I work about 60 hours everyweek...and let me tell you, my body feels it. I might be getting my fifth cold in only 65 days...that's run down. At least Spring Break is finally on the horizon...starting this friday at 3!

Now the good. Don't look now...but Cody might have a little 'date' this Friday with a certain someone he met online. I don't wanna jump to conclusions, but it should be a good time if her personality is as good as it sounds. We don't have much in common, but learning each others interests can be a pretty big connection in itself. More on that later.

There is a job fair at Northern tomorrow (I will be sleeping in FINALLY), but no jobs at any of the schools that interest me. If I feel bored...I might go anyway.

Damn Rangers.

Night all!
