Complain Mode

It's not a week after I started working at RK, and I'm unemployed again. I suppose there's no need to flaunt it, but I was fired. On my fourth day. Here's my expert opinion. If you're training someone to do a job, do not criticize him or her for not doing a job before you a) explain how to do it and b) tell him or her to do it. But, I digress. I mean to complain of other things.

Like Little Lambs and my perpetual uncertainty with them. I applied in May, got my fingerprints taken, had a pre-interview, and then I waited; for about a month. I don't remember exactly how long I waited for a call back. I eventually gave up. It was then that they called me and asked if I wanted to come in for an interview. I, of course, was more than willing and a lot excited. Again, I don't remember the time span or how everything went down, but they (Charity and Lynn, the head people) asked for three references, a physical, and five lesson plans. I went to work asking for references from people who've seen me work with kids. The first two were compliant, the third took a bit longer, but she sent it. I've no room to complain. The last-ish thing to do was the physical, which I had a time getting. I got lost to the Health Dept. twice only to find out that they don't do physicals. There's a family walk-in clinic that does physicals, but it was closed after 11 the day I went (Tuesday) so I came back Wednesday, paid 60.00 and waited. My next task was to write five lesson plans for them. Charity strongly recommended that I obtain a library card. I did so, but it cost 20.00 because I had no proof that I now live in Union City. No matter, they're school resources are awesome. So I checked out my books (which now reminds me of how long I've had them. *squeek* Over due!) and wrote my lesson plans. I turned in the physical and showed the head hanchos my work. They expressed that they were impressed. I even had a working interview, which was stressful for lack structure in the classroom and a lack of instruction. The kids were sweet, but no one told me what to do, where to put things... Frustration aboundeth.

So then, I waited again. I was told that I would be called soon because Lynn was writing up a schedule. This was two weeks ago. I got a call last week (2nd day at RK) and the very difficult to hear message to call back ASAP. I called back Monday. Wait. Tuesday. I don't remember. At any rate. Okay, I've definitely confused all the dates. So yeah. After many phone calls, most of those unanswered. (I want mashed potatoes and gravy) I'm told to come to LL and then they say to come back in the morning and watch a class. They tell me where I'll be, what I'll be doing-- an enormous improvement to the last time I wast there.It's exciting. And at the end of the day... they said they'd call me. Today. Which is what I'm currently waiting for. Really, I need to chower.

Thank you. End rant.

Good night!

Today I worked my first day at Rural King. It's nice. Employment, I mean. Yay five! I'm so glad to have a job. The work day started at 8, my day started at 7 when I was awakened by Drew. Yea, verily. I woke up to him standing in my door way. My first thought was "Murrhmmmrr" with a general sense of "Huh?". I had fallen asleep on top of my phone and accidentally turned it off. Alarm clock fail, boyfriend win.

It was my intention to go to sleep early tonight because tomorrow I go in at 7. I started laundry a bit later than I should have. At any rate, I'm waiting for the washer to finish so's I can transfer clothes to the dryer.

I have a job. I HAVE A JOB! This is fun. AND there's a very relaxed dress code. w00t. Oh, oh, and since it's in Martin, I can hang out at the B after work. ^_^ Did I mention? I'm employed.

This is what blessed feels like.

I have a problem with time perception.

Methinks an update would be in order. I graduated. Hooray! I now have a BFA, emphasis in studio art, which is everything that isn't profitable. I specialize in THAT kind of art. This summer has been my slowest one ever. I spent all of it looking for a job, and a good part of it looking for a roommate. The room mate dilemma passed, but only after I was invited into the Campbell house where I am currently living for 200$ a month, including utilities. (They're good to me :] )

At the beginning of the summer, I was on the edge of being interviewed for a daycare. It seemed that the offer had expired, but lo, and behold! Just when all hope of finding a job had faded, I got a call back! It's true, they wanted an interview, and then a working interview, and then a physical and three references!

Folks, today the last reference was turned in (via email... finally) and all the paperwork is completed! Thank you. Your applause is appreciated. I most ardently hope I get this job. Oh, snap. I forgot to say-- I wrote 5 lesson plans for them, which they loved! And in the emails, I'm continually praised as being creative. That makes my heart smile.

To be honest, I'm looking forward to labeling things in that room. And updating the schedules to reflect current habits and what not. Or updating the habits to reflect changes in the shedule.

The theme song for my life should be "Dirty Laundry." I will never be without dirty laundry. What a stunningly boring chore. :p *Kudos to anyone who caught that Dr. Horrible reference* I don't stink on account of I took a chower, but even if I did stink, I couldn't smell it. My nose has been mostly stopped up for a while. Bummer. I helped combat the cracked skin with red tea and fig lotion. Yum!

I might have a job next week. YAY

I like living with two kitties. They're both so lovable. ^_^

Some thoughts.

Isn't it interesting how similar single and half double are? :P I should do laundry, if not just to wash Sara's socks. I am determined to finish this blanket before school starts next week! New Moon has taken me by surprise. Edward captivated me in Twilight, but Jacob... Well, he's just taking my breath away! I smell like feet. Where did I put those fingernail clippers? Housing, Housing, Housing Gosh, I'm tired. This will not do well when classes start. I need to establish better habits. Though, it might also be good to start on my medicine. Yes, I'll be sure to get everything done. I need to go by the studio and talk to Instructor Ray. Ms. Stephanie, too. If I could retake judo, that would make everything better. I really need to find out when my REAL senior art show is. Hopefully it falls later in the semester.

I -am- tired.

What is it that I need to do? I can't be hungry. I've eaten plenty for today. Though... To be honest, I don't remember when it was that I ate. If it was really important that I clean and check my mail (that one I tried already, but couldn't. Now I need to contact Steph, but probably won't seeing as she deserves some privacy or time without worry. I'd want that if I'd just gotten married. So I suppose I should just go to housing and ask about the key. I waited too long to ask about it. To bother thinking about it. This could be bad. I'm fairly certain all the important notifications come through that mail box. I need a job and a room-mate, neither of which am I actively searching for. If I was speaking Spanish, I could have used 'buscar' because it means 'to search for'. w00t Spanish.) but I left the apartment a mess and chose to crochet instead. Yes. I am hungry. I'm also bored. The boredom is putting me to sleep. Wait, what if I bore myself?! What a sad story! Gosh, I hope that's not the case.

I complain a lot.

Ugh. Stupid people.
Eeeh, football.
