It’s starting to look a lot like Christmas; and feel like it too.

Nov 19, 2009

So it seems reading the text book and using a real life example to supplement a program (my bead crafting for instance) is helping me to understand the material better. I still have some issues and still have quite a lot of reading to do, but I plan to do that this weekend. Taking notes is also helping me a lot to because it allows me to absorb the text better. I may have to start investing in purchasing books because it’s just too expensive to keep printing out the material. Hopefully I can find cheap used books to make it more cost effective, but we’ll have to see.

Tomorrow is my last day with Robby before he leaves and I’m not happy about it. Today in general was just not a good day as I was mandated to take time off because apparently e-mail no longer needed the help, yet instead of allowing me to switch back to phones they decided it best to just tell me to go home an hour after my shift. This does not bode well. Especially considering the fact that my paycheck is going to look like shit since I took some days off voluntary and then yesterday took the time off because they were mandating and I would have rather just taken the time off myself then be told to. I know it’s weird.. but even still I got 3 hours yesterday which isn’t great, but it’s better then 1 hour. I’m just so frustrated right now. It’s not my fault they overhired for the season but now I’m being punished for it. I started looking on Craigslist for more jobs because this is just not going to cut it. I hope I hear something back soon.

As a result I won’t be able to participate in the Secret Santa exchange I had planned on Ecstasy because of this. It just infuriates me and I hate thinking about it. Tomorrow I am going to work my full shift and even they try and mandate me I am going to bitch that I have taken more than enough time off during the past two weeks and they need to mandate someone else. Doubt that will work, but still, I can hope, right?
