Light at the end of the tunnel....

I haven't blogged in a while. Its been on purpose. I've only had negative things to say for a couple weeks and now I'm starting to see a light at the end of my tunnel!!

I quit Friendly's as announced. This past Sunday was my last day I feel so liberated. I got a new job at a dress shop up the street from my house. I started there two Sundays ago. If you do the math, that equals one week, two jobs. I was a little worn out. At first I really liked the new job but the honeymoon phase is over and I like it no longer. It would be totally doable if I were given the 15-20 hours I was promised. Unfortunately, this week I was given 29 hours. That is 9 hours too many, which makes a big difference in my life. When I brought this to the attention of the owner, she seemed to have no recollection of saying anything about 15-20 hours and pretty much told me that that was not a possibility. The woman terrifies me so I was unable to stand up for myself yesterday when I was talking to her. I've looked over my finances and budgeted out the loan refund money I have and have decided that I am just going to be unemployed for a while. Its not a good move financially, but lets be honest, NOTHING is a good move financially these days. Not working will allow me to get involved in a lot of things around here that I simply didn't have time for up until now. ALSO, I'll be able to make it to Oneontaaaa!!!! Waahooooo!!! I won't be able to spend any money while I'm there, but I think I know enough people who love me to work it out.

After arriving home from my dreadful encounter with the scary lady at work, I decided to go ahead and cut my finger right open on an aluminum can. It hurt quite a bit and I am currently typing with only nine digits. Oh welllll. Today was significantly better because after arriving home from class this evening, I received an email asking me for an interview for the two student affairs graduate assistantships that I applied to, one with the rape center and one with the LGBT center on campus. Allow me to elaborate on the various perks of either of these wonderful positions:
1) Paid tuition
2) A stipend that will allow me to survive without having to work some stupid job
3) Instant involvement on campus
4) Both are centers that i care a lot about and would LOVE to work in
5) Weekends off.. always.
6) School vacation off.. always.
7) Excellent resume builders
8) A feeling of deep personal satisfaction
There are many more but you get the gist.

I am also celebrating the fact that by quitting my job tomorrow, I will get a real live spring break!!! Granted, I have more than enough work to keep me busy but its still a vacation!!! I will see my fam, I will see my girl, and I will see my Oneonta! This is the happiest day I have had in quite a while and I reallyreallyreallyreally hope everything works out the way it seems to be headed!

Perhaps now that I'm out of my gloomy phase, I'll post more often, you never know!
