jobs & stuff

I got an interview at Allen's Camera at 11 a.m. tomorrow...I turned in my application yesterday. I'm hoping that's a good sign. :D

I told my boss today that I might be getting another part-time job and she asked why I would work there and not at UPS. I told her because it was at a photography store and since that's what I'm going into it can't hurt. I told her the hours would be 1-7 three days a week and asked if she would be able to work with me on that. At first she said no because they don't have an open to 1 shift. Which I know they do. I've worked it. And since we usually have a open-slow, 10-close & 1-close that I could work til 1 & there would just be two people there for the rest of the day. She said they'd probably be able to make that work. Which I'm gonna be pissed if they won't work with me on it. I have been a loyal employee to them for two years now. I've called in twice in those two years one was a legit reason, the other was just because I felt like it. Nonetheless. I've put up with a lot from them. I haven't received a raise since I started and that is beyond ridiculous to me. They keep saying that they have too many people at the store. If they have too many people why did they hire two new people after four left?! Why didn't they just hire one or none if they "couldn't afford" it?! I don't understand their logic.

This job at Allen's doesn't pay as much as UPS does but I still think I can make it work. I may have to give up having my Tuesdays off but if I'm gonna make it work, somethings gotta give. It sucks though. I don't want to give up my Tuesdays. I like having them off. I'm used to having them off. :( But I've gotta look out for me. I've got to start being more focused on taking care of my future, cause God knows I don't want to work at the UPS Store for the rest of my life. I don't even want to work there now.

I got a couple of birthday cards in the mail today. I got money, which is typical, but the first thought that went through my mind was "I should probably use this to pay bills". Lame huh?!?! I instantly think about using my birthday money for bills. Sad part is I really should...I just really really don't want to. I want to just go buy something. Splurge on myself ya know?! But we'll see.



Yup...that's all I've got for now.
Peace.
