*Update*

I got a job at the local coffee house and am very excited! If you're here in T-town, stop by...I'm at the Gypsy Coffee House and Cyber Cafe! I'll be working there just on the weekends of course until the summer, but I really enjoy it!

In other news...
Because of said "second job" I haven't been on much. I also had a recent death in the family, and have been just trying to de-stress and deal with that. However, I'm going to start resuming a permanent workout plan...

Here's the plan:
Sunday: Rest Day
Monday: workout in evening(only cardio)
Tuesday: workout in morning(only cardio)
Wednesday: workout in evening (cardio+20 min. weightlifting)
Thursday: workout in morning(only cardio)
Friday: Rest Day
Saturday: workout in morning(cardio+20min. weightlifting)

I've GOT  to stick to this...that's it.

Suicide Girl Tryouts...and other ponderings...

Obviously, last night was preeetttyyy crappy. If you read me other blog, and it's cool if you didn't. I go to me therapist tomorrow and am v. relieved.

I had an interview Thursday at HotTopic, and am hoping against hope that I get a call back for a second interview. Like the dork that I am, I forgot to bring my application with me, so I had to bring it back after the interview was over. I think it went well, but I underestimate myself all the freaking time, so maybe it did go well. That would be one hell of a job to get...I'm so stoked, but they said they wouldn't be able to schedule me in for a second interview not next week, but the week after next. Whatever, I really hope I get the job. I actually did just get a job at Starbucks, but I'm not too thrilled with working at a coffehouse chain. That's not me...I don't want to serve a bunch of yuppies or whatever...I'm just not too happy about it. But, I do have an interview tomorrow at 3pm at a local coffeehouse, that would be ten times better, and am super-stoked about it as well. Starbucks is supposed to call me back tonight to schedule a time for orientation, but it seems the manager couldn't remember what my availability was? I told him I am a teacher and work full-time, but it was like even with my resume and references he didn't believe me. :whatever:
I am so stressed out about the stupid politics as a teacher, too. I don't think I'm right for it, but I love working with the kids, I just don't agree with some of the policies that are in place, because they seem to allow for people to take advantage of the system, and I have a parent in my class that does whenever, and however, she can. She had, for the past three months, consistently picked up her child late at least once a week. She has been late anywhere between 5 minutes to 45 minutes. One of my Site Directors said that my main focus shouldn't be on how many times this parent is late, but how are we teaching these parents any skills if there's no repercussions set in place? I can't prepare my classroom for the next day, if I'm looking after a child whose parent can never pick up on time. I told the Site Director that I didn't have time to deal with said parent, and she really has avoided me ever since. It was probably cold-hearted, but I am sick to death of helping people who only take advantage of the system and never help themselves. Stop being a parasite and feeding off of other's hard work!!!!! Get off of your lazy ass and make an effort to help yourself. Bleh....

Whatever...
I need to get back into shape and stop eating so much fast food. I just can't stop eating, and I have trouble sleeping when I'm stressed out, which makes me gain weight...it's a never-ending cycle really. Here's a crazy thought...yep, betcha thought that was never coming...I'm considering trying out to be a Suicide Girl...note that I said *considering.* I'd need to get in shape first, because what's the point of rewarding myself with more tattoos, if I can't get in shape? Here are some designs I've been wanting, and with our tax returns, I'm going to get a quarter-sleeve size tatt on my right arm! (Provided I can get me weight down to 125...)

 Well, I'm going to go work out, come home, and watch a movie/read, and prepare for me interview tomorrow!

Meh

....Yep, my intake lately has been really shitty...oh well! I just need to start exercising again, and things should go away, like my lovely ability to be socially retarded.

I'm sorry, Kristy, for not coming to the V-Monologues last night...I was really tired, and completely forgot to call you until I noticed the clock said 6:30...so I suck hardcore. I will call you this evening...or can shoot me in the face.

Oh, and this boy's hot...yep, I'm too damn old to be saying silly things like this...plus the inevitable eye-rolling from R.:

Plus, THIS guy is old enough to be my father, and for some crazy reason...I don't give a damn...
