grumble grumble!

Today I arrive just 6 measly minutes late. Despite all the odds, I think that is pretty damned awesome. But no, I not only get an ugly note stuck to my monitor, but a lecture also.

Well surprisingly I woke up just 10 minutes later than I should have because the power went off in the middle of the night and reset my alarm clock. Then my connecting bus just never showed up so I started walking. I am still sick. Breathing cold air while busting my ass walking down the hill to work isn’t pleasant. Six minutes is nothing in my book, NOTHING! And being reprimanded over being 6 minutes late is a little too meticulous for me. So today I made the decision that I will only stay here at this job until November 15th. That is not that far away. Which means I need to find a better job and soon. I do not want to work 2 jobs I want one job that pays me the same as both of my jobs now. I want a nice benefits package and weekends off. I want a job that isn’t too challenging but not too boring either. Just a nice medium.

Of course if I don’t find a job in the next 4 weeks I have to scrap that plan and just continue chugging along with this shit. I can no longer live below the means I have today. I can’t do it, and I won’t. I’d rather suffer. Yes, I’m just stubborn like that.

I got my hair cut and colored again. I love it. It’s me. It’s the me I’ve been for the last 4 years. I feel at home in pseudo-gothic hairstyles. I also broke down and bought a $55 flat iron for my hair. With some things you get what you pay for and in this instance I can highly agree. Not only did it get my curly locks straight as an arrow but it did it in record time. I’m in LOVE with it.

I also got all the bits and pieces I need for my Halloween costume this year AND I convinced one of my roommates to dress up as the same thing as me, just with a different top. We’re going as can-can girls. You know, 19 century French sluts!

Yay, half the day is over!
