Time to change, hopefully for the better

YES! I got a new job. It's not really that great compared to my previous job but the pay and hours are slightly better.

A switch from 2nd shift to 1st shift might irk me at first but eventually, I'll get used to it.

Unrelated note: This is my 100th post! According to blogger, I've been here since Feb. 2008
Haha, 3 years and finally made it to 100.

The Dirty Note(s)

About a week ago, I gave an envelope to Alex at work and told him that it was a really dirty note and to not let anyone read it. I was joking, what was really inside the envelope was four dollars that I owed him. Later on that day, he came up to me and jokingly told me that he was disappointed that it didn't turn out to be a dirty note. As he was walking away, I explained loudly (idiot) that it technically was a note...and that it was dirty. Turned my head and noticed that another co-worker was looking at me but I didn't think anything of it because in my head, this was all innocent. It is innocent! I was joking. But she had no idea what I was talking about. She actually thought I wrote a dirty note.

See? It is a note. And I highly doubt there's a clean dollar bill out there. Well, except for those newly printed ones.

Eventually word got out to another co-worker of mine.
Months ago, he told me that he liked me and was wondering if I wanted to be his girl. I told him that I only wanted to be friends. At first I thought he was genuine. But as time passed on, I realized that he's only lusting over me. I'm upset over this dying friendship but I digress.

Couple of days later, Melvin came up to me and loudly stated, "I heard something about you! When I heard, I started to laugh and thought no way."

Me: Pshh, yeah right. (I'm invisible at work, no one notices me so I seriously thought he was lying.)

Melvin: No for real.

Me: Ok, tell me what you heard.

Melvin: Is it true? (His eyes shifted to the side.)

Me: Is what true? What are you talking about?

Melvin: (whispering) Follow my eyes. (eyes shifted to the side again.)

So I slowly turned my head and saw Alex. Realizing what he was talking about, I started to laugh and shook my head no.

Me: I think I know who told you.

Melvin: Who?

Me: You tell me.

Melvin: Call me later.


Heh, over this crap? No thanks, not worth the phone call. Besides, it's obvious to me who talked. I was just wondering if anyone else knew about it.

Later on that day, Melvin sent me a text. He asked if Alex and I are an item. I replied that we are really good friends. After all of this, seems like Melvin acts differently towards me now. Jealous maybe? I don't know.

Gosh, can I pass "dirty notes" in peace? >.>

You're not your job

If this statement is how most people feel, then why do they feel the need to impress people they don't even know? For example, most folks love to show off at school reunions. Someone could "casually" mention their status to dates. Or even use their success as revenge to enemies or those that have hurt them in the past.

"Too many people spend money they haven't earned, to buy things they don't want, to impress people they don't like."

-Will Smith

It's all nonsense to me.

Job Hunting

Yeah, I can't really stay where I work at the moment, any longer. I work at a fast food restaurant and they give me no hours and the pay is of course crap. I always ask for more hours but most of the time they just give me an extra two hours, for the week. And every week it's different amount of hours, never consistent. One week it's 20 then the next it's 17, then the next it's 10, then 15, etc. I can't seem to save any money whatsoever. Everything that I earn goes to my bills and gas for my car. I don't go out, I stay in and watch tv and go online all the time. I'd like to go out once in a while but I just can't. I can handle staying in....what I'm truly worried about is if I am able to pay for my last class that I need to graduate next semester. I was supposed to graduate last semester but could only afford one class. I do not what that to happen again because my shitty ass job prevented that from happening. So I'm looking for a new place to work. It's going to be hard because I know that this job that I'm applying for, I probably won't get. Why? Maybe because I won't leave my current job and most employers look down on that because they don't want there employee's to be worn out by working two jobs and not working at their full potential. Honestly, I'm a little scared about having two jobs at the same time. I would just try to find one job that pays well and gives me enough hours that will make me happy but it's hard to find that in this city.
