Post 014 - Good Times, Good Times, and Other Serious Things

So on Saturday I saw Twilight. I thought that it was pretty good. I am not trying to lower myself to fangirl status, but *damn* Rob Pattinson, the actor who played Edward was freaking hawt. Geez. I just used the word "hawt." I have lowered myself to fangirl status. *sigh*

On a slightly happier note, I can get my driver's license back today!!!!! The 180 days were up on Sunday, but I finally am able to go today. Of course, it's like an hour drive and leaves me less $300... ugh.

And on a more serious note:
Don't drink and drive. Luckily, when I was stopped it was because my husband was puking his guts out the window, not because I had run over someone or crashed into something. It is an extremely expensive and humiliating experience. After all the classes, the fines, the lawyer, the night in jail, and the license reinstatement fee it's come to over $2000 and six months of having to ask people for a ride to work all the time. Plus all the guilt that I had to deal with for months for one bad decision. IT IS NOT WORTH IT.

Post 013 - Twilight Is Coming Out This Week!

(Oh no. Not another one of those.) No, I'm not one of those stupid fan girls that want to marry Edward so badly that they could pee their pants. I just think that the movie actually looks good compared to a book. And they are really good books. I just think that some people take their love of a series a bit too far. *cough cough* harry potter.

And now, for your viewing pleasure, a nice little wallpaper of the Twilight cast.

Post 012 - Pathetically Alone

I have been so annoyed with my life lately. I never got the call from CableOne. I NEEDED that job, for more reasons than one, but I never got the damn call. I did not get the job. Greg applied for a job on the same day as I did for another job, and had the interview today. Guess what? He got the freaking job. Twelve stinking dollars an hour. It's like he doesn't even have to try. I feel so useless and pathetic. He keeps saying that I need to get another job. I've been trying!!!! Maybe I've just been thinking to high of myself. And assistant management position at Cato? CableOne? Maybe I'm just kidding myself. I did't get either job. Maybe if I apply at a fast food joint as a stinking food fryer I might get that!!!! But I hate food. And that would be worse pay than I am getting now. I want to move UP in the world.

My only social interaction besides Greg and Kaleb is work and the computer. I come home and zone out in front of this stupid screen that I love and hate so much. I love it because it gives me something to do, something to get my mind off things. I hate it because it drains me and makes me realize just how pathetic I really am.

I used to play World of Warcraft all the time, but now I barely play once or twice in a two-week span. Even then, I didn't really chat or interact with other players. It is just me, myself, and I. This stupid blog is all I really have to talk to about my problems. Greg just says "Everything will get better." "Everything will work out." But I am still recovering from September when our relationship was at rock bottom, and I left him. But I came back and Greg keeps wanting everything to be perfect and wonderful and it's not. Nothing is wonderful. I feel like he doesn't understand me.

I feel so alone.

Also: it is exactly one month until I turn 22. (December 14)

Post 011 - The Weekend

This weekend was pretty uneventful. I worked. And I worked some more. Nothing big or exciting. Just impatiently waiting for my phone call from CableOne. And we played Monopoly last night. I lost.... spectacularly. Todd (my mom's fiance) and Keith (my brother), who was playing for my mom who was conked out on the couch, ended up being the last two in the game.

Post 010 - The Interview at CableOne

You've been hearing all about it the past couple of days. And it actually happened! (Which means you get to hear even more about it!) It was at 1:00 yesterday. I was dressed in casual business attire. Black pinstriped shirt, my faux pearl necklace, my black dress pants which also double as my current work pants, and some black high heels. Yeah. I looked nice. (See photo of my sexy self!) I walked in confident and left confident. Of course, I still have to wait until Monday for a call for the second interview if I qualify. Hopefully I do. I NEED this job.



The perks of this job are awesome: Free digital cable, DVR recorder, internet, phone, $9.19 per hour plus commissions which can get up to $500 a month, two weeks paid vacation right off the start and six paid sick days. Of course there's also the insurance and all that other boring stuff too. And then, if I'm employed with them for 7-8 months, I get to go on an expenses paid trip to Pheonix, AZ for a training business trip. Fabulous! Of course I have to actually get the job first. Which entails a second interview, a two hour scenario test, and a drug test. But I'm feeling really good about this.

Wish me luck everyone. I hope I get that call on Monday!

Post 009 - I Got the Interview!

I got through to the interview. I got a call at work today for me to come into an interview for the position at CableOne. It is tomorrow at 1:00. I am crossing my fingers... wish me luck!

Post 008 - A New Job? Goddess, I Hope So.

So I filled out my application to CableOne (the local cable company) for the "Customer Service and Sales Representative" position. I love my job at Staples in the Copy Center, but (1) Not enough money for the stress and (2) Not enough hours to get the money to pay bills. On the other hand, I've made friends there and I pretty much love the people I work with.

I hope that I get the new job though. I feel like it's going to open up a lot of new opportunities for me.

Post 007 - Halloween

Halloween was fun. A lot more fun than I thought it would be. I dressed up Kaleb as "Little Caesar" or a Greek complete with laurel leaf head band and adorable little toga. I was a monarch butterfly. My costume was bits and pieces of costumes I had from previous years, but Kaleb's was homemade with gold scrapbook paper and a white over sized t-shirt. Talk about genius.


The night started by Kaleb and I going to get my cousin, then my mom and brother. We went trick or treating at the mall, then back to my mom's house where we went trick or treating up and down my mom's street and the next street over. Afterwards, when Greg got off work we all went to the bowling alley for "Scream Extreme" bowling.


I also probably should have taken a photo of the haul we got. We got us some candy!
