Christmas Break thus far
Well, I went out to and saw a movie. No I did not take anyone with me (no one wanted to go with me). I saw The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe. I liked it, but unlike most people that I know from LETU I am easy to please. I have not read the book in about 6 years or more, so the book is a little fuzzy. I thought that the movie was real close to what I remembered from the book. I have not really read what others think about it. I will have to re-read the book before I make any judgments.
I have been working nights. It is all sorts of fun. We are currently weeding out the people that do not want to work, ie the people whom don't show up, show up on time, or show up without sleep. Hmm, only one person fits that discribtion and he was fired/quit on tuesday of last week. They were real happy to hear that Wedsday was my last day of finals, so Thursday night I started working full time hours again. Friday nights at 12am are the end of the week and I clocked out Monday morning with almost 30 hours. Wonderful weekend. We were only short one night because someone called in sick, but he was really sick. What happened to the work ethics that people once had? Have we become that scared to fire someone when they don't want to show up, or is it that it is too expensive to fire them to get rid of them? I wonder. I know how to order, I know how to stock, I know how to make out the schedule. I know almost as much as the assistant manager does about how the store works, but yet I still will not move up even if I wanted to. All I need to do is to gain the speed that the current manager has in order to be worth something. Maybe I will be worth something and get a raise.
I still have not decided on what I want to do next semester. I would like to go back to LETU, but the money is not there. I DO NOT want to go back to UT Tyler. I have found out that in order for me to pass at a University of any type, I can not work any during the week. Then again, I hate being broke. I like to be able to go buy a Dr Pepper when I want or to be able to just drive and let loose some horses or jsut cruse. I thought about taking the semester off and driving a truck. I have a friend that said that he can get me on Swift for pretty good pay, about double what I am doing for Brookshire's. This would be good, but probably not the best option. What I really want right now is to be completely out of school. I have been in college for over 4.5 years. I have only had debt the last 2.5 years. The first 2 years at TJC I paid for in cash. When I went to LETU, I spent more money that first semester than I had made in 2 years. Then, because I had not worked in 2 years, I had to borrow money to go to UT Tyler. I need to get a real job and quit borrowing. I see all these things of the flesh that I want, but they will not help me any. I don't want out of college nessicarily for the money as much as the fact that I don't want to owe more than what a house costs. I think the main problem is that I really do not know what I want to do any more other than out of college. I think that I am going to start ignoring my mom. She did not want me to go to LETU, she wanted me to go to UT TYler form the get go. Now she says that my grades are not good enough for even there. If it was up to me, I would have started out at LETU a long time ago, back when I was still driving the Geo Tracker. Prayer and reading are ahead of me to try to find guidance, so I am going to get some sleep in. Later.
