its been a long time since i have actually done multiple entries in the same day. probably since the first week or two i started this. but, i forgot something. and i have to add somethings. so, here goes.
this morning on the radio, a girl called in and was complaining about her life. she was off at college and her parents paid for her car and her apartment and her tuition. she was complaining because they only gave her $50 a week to live on. $50 a week. i wish i had $50 a week to blow. i dont want to sound like i am trying to make myself sound all great, but give me a break. i work.....full time. and go to school.....full time. and i pay my own way. and yeah, i still live at home, but at a price. i have been paying rent since i was 16 years old. ever since i got my first paycheck. i had to put 50% in the bank and pay my dad 25% for rent. i had 25% of my little $4.45/hr. check to spend. it taught me a lot. it taught me how to save. it taught me how to pay bills. it taught me how to pay myself first, and it taught me how to appreciate a dollar. i hated it when it was going on, but looking back now, it was probably the best thing to ever happen to me. at the very least it was the best thing to ever happen to me financially. i have that to thank for the reason that i am so financially secure now.
anyway, i dont think that i have it bad. i think that i am very lucky. many people would love to be going to school or working. i just wish that people like that girl would realize exactly how lucky they really are.
i talked to sherry today to see if i could get off on monday and tuesday. she told me that she would prefer me to take them right before i transfer back to customer service. she said that we were probably going to be extremely busy because of the holiday. plus, susan starts on monday.
great.
my source was correct. i *am* being sold out. i love my job...
give michele credit. she did actually call me this time. i was in the restroom. she told vance that she would call me back. i finally called her at about 9:00 on her cell phone. this was the conversation:
me: hey
interesting, huh? i thought so. 50 minutes have gone by. no return phone call, and i dont really expect one either. she's probably in bed by now.
her: hey
me: what are you doing?
her: nothing, what are you doing?
me: nothing
her: can i call you back?
me: sure
her: okay
me: bye
her: bye
its such an emotional roller coaster with her. one minute my heart is racing as i make that slow climb to the top of the first big hill. every inch closer we get to the top, the harder and louder and faster my heart pounds away in my chest. then i finally reach the top and i start to scream. then, in just a nanosecond the high is over and i am on the very bottom again. but, before i have a chance to get comfortable with being on the bottom again, i am on my way back up the next hill. and im screaming as i go through the triple corkscrew. and before i can realize what just happened, its another drop. and then.....
i just wonder when the ride is going to be over. okay, that sounded a little lame. well, maybe a lot lame......sue me.....its late.
