So two weeks ago I witnessed an exchange between two people that really irked me. I mean it drove me up a wall, and I thought "this is something i should definitely rant about on the blog." Then I got all busy with work and I lost the fire and I didn't post it, so you still aren't going to get anything real interesting.
I got a job at a local bookstore to make some extra money for the holidays. I can't wait until I graduate and I never have to work retail ever again. All the perks of working at a bookstore that everyone dreams about, they're true. I get a great discount, I can check out books for 14 days as long as I bring them back uninjured, and depending on which store I am in I can read on the clock. I just don't understand why managers can't get scheduling figures out. I have had to do scheduling for over 75 employees, yes it was difficult and I complained but I managed to make it work. If you hire someone that is part time and only wants 20 hours a week, why would you regularly schedule them 35 hours when other people are begging for hours. I just don't get it.
That's right I am working 35 hours a week and going to school. Yeah I know Wah!Wah!Wah! I can hear you all now, "So what Lisa, you're not the first or the last. I did it and I am a better person because of it, at least it's just for the holidays." Well, I have worked full time and gone to school full time, my fair share too. It's just now I have the munchkin. I feel like I could spend forever with her and it would never be enough. For those of you that don't have kids (and yes I know you have heard it before), until you have kids you will never know that you are capable of this kind of love, it is unbelievable.
Oh! I finally found out that I am interning with the United Way in the spring. I am hoping that even though it doesn't pay now it will later.
And for the man with the golden horse shoe, I bought my first lottery ticket this past Wednesday and I won $4.00. Yes! FOUR WHOLE DOLLARS!
