Work is going well, even if it's hard to be up early.
The biggest downside is that one of the other people I work with is absolutely unbearable. She thinks she's in charge of everything she touches, even though she is just an associate. I don't mind at all when my bosses tell me what to do, that's what they're there for. But when this uppity bitch tells me what to do it really pisses me off. I know my job, I did it for 9 months before she even graduated from high school. Having her tell me I'm doing something wrong when I know I'm not really sucks.
I haven't been there all that long, so I don't feel comfortable telling her off, although I would REALLY love to.
On the positive side, I am apparently doing really well at work. Apparently the store I worked at before was a perfect balance of people so that we all did our jobs to the letter and it was easy enough for us that it was always expected. Because things I do automatically (like putting away extra shirts when I'm unpacking AS I GO instead of making a huge pile to deal with later) are getting me accolades.
I'm not really doing much in the way of trying to get into law school, so I might as well keep up with this job and see how high I can climb before I decide where I want to go.

I sleep now
Oct. 7th, 2009 08:26 pmI'm so tired. I've been working at 6am every day, and I work at 6am tomorrow. The job is going okay, it's nothing I haven't done before. But I don't know if I really want to get used to opening boxes with a pair of scissors for 4 straight hours. So far I've gotten a lot of praise for what I've done, I think their standards are a bit low... but hey, it works for me.
I just have been getting up at 5am and I'm still... I'm so sleepy.

My face hurts...
Sep. 22nd, 2009 04:23 pmSo today I finally got my last filling taken care of. I'd been putting it off because I'm broke and jobless. I'm still broke and jobless, but my parents agreed to help me pay for the filling before it turned into a root canal. I'm really happy to have it done, but too sore to eat anything right now. Strangely, I'm not hungry either.
My grandmother is still blind in one eye and I've been driving her here and there because there is no way she can drive herself, no matter how much she threatens to. Seriously, a 90 year old woman who is blind in one eye should under no circumstances be driving.
Still looking for a job. Still not having luck. I need to start lowering my standards.

Sep. 14th, 2009 12:22 pmSaturday was insane. My grandmother woke up blind in one eye and called us about 4 minutes after my mother left to meet a friend for lunch and shopping. So my father was freaking out, and I was trying to get him to calm down and deal with it while I tried to get ready for the dinner party we were supposed to be having that night. My father and I were supposed to go shopping for all the things we needed to finish the party preparations, but he ended up taking my grandmother to the emergency room and I did everything else myself.
None of this would have been so bad except that out of 6 family members that live in Colorado, my dad and I were the only ones who knew about my grandmother. We called everyone else, no one was around or had their phones on. Including my mother, who, like my father, has a cell phone that she just never turns on. I've had the "what's the point of having it if you never turn it on?" conversation with them before, but I think this time I finally got through. At least I hope I did.
Still haven't found a job, I'm putting in more applications every day. I really need to get some kind of income because I'm looking at a lot of dental work soon, and I have no insurance to cover it. My parents told me they will pay for it, or rather lend me the money to pay for it and I can pay them back whenever I get a job.
I think as far as moving to Seattle goes, I will be making plans to move around January so I have time to get things together... considering the rest of my boxes haven't come yet. the one that did come I have to make a claim on, and the woman I talked to sounded less than optimistic that they would let my claim go through. In fact she all but said I was screwed. Fan-tastic.
