We're about halfway through March now, and nothing new is really going on, but I figured I'd update as I'm sure you all would love to read me babble about my life.
First things first, I've got a March 2014 Jammin' playlist! Have a listen:
- Last week was spring "break." I worked 43 hours (in the calendar week; not the pay period) so it wasn't really much of a break for me, but I had the entire apartment to myself and luckily, as I'm sure I've said billions of times before, I love my job.
- Speaking of my job, it's going really really well. Aside from the fact that I still have an "in training" name tag from when mine fell into the toilet.................in January. I have a hunch that the woman in charge of ordering name tags just really doesn't like me (first impression of her was the day that I forgot to take out my lip ring, it was the holidays, I had a line of customers, and she loudly pointed out that I was breaking all the rules and I needed to take ALL of my piercings out and I probably had a tongue ring so I should take that out too............) because when my manager was in charge of ordering our name tags, it only took two weeks to get mine. But it's all good! Because it's just a name tag (though to me it was a symbol of my success and overcoming the terrible 2013 I was trying to conquer)! All is well. I cleaned up the booth last Wednesday and a couple of days ago I sent my manager my final "booth wishlist/project plan" for cleaning up and reorganizing our guest services booth. This year, our company is putting a lot of focus and emphasis on serving the customer, which I think is awesome - so it's just perfect timing that my manager is letting me take charge of cleaning up the booth! I feel really appreciated and respected by my manager and coworkers, and I think that has a lot to do with my love of the job. That, and the fact that I just really love customer service. This job has literally got me questioning my direction in life, considering the fact that I could see myself working at this mall for a long time and making a career out of it.............but that's thinking way too far into the future, so I'm just enjoying the fact that I'm loving the work that I do and the pay is good.
- School is another story. I have less prepaid credits left than I do remaining credits for my degree. I hate college. I have hated it since I started. I would just drop out and forget about it but unfortunately the working world will generally deem you worthless without a degree and I don't want to be stuck working part-time college kid jobs for the rest of my life... well, being realistic, I want to be a badass housewife one day. But unfortunately, that's an unrealistic and unacceptable-according-to-society aspiration these days soooooooo I'll just keep saying that I'm a psychology major and one day I want to be a counselor. I do really enjoy psychology. I also really enjoy sociology, and I've gotten to take a lot of really interesting classes under both majors. I just wish I could've figured out what I wanted to do with my life earlier in college so I wouldn't be stuck stressing about not being able to pay for college after three years of not having to worry about it.
- See? College sucks. We need more options. I deserve more options. Half the reason I'm running out of credits is because I would bite off more than I could chew and then find myself in such a deep depressive state that I'd just panic and give up and drop classes on the withdrawal deadline. I'm healthy now and I wouldn't do that now... but, damn, I deserve some flexibility. And thanks to all of the mental battles I faced in college, my GPA is not even close to good enough for a scholarship. It's depression. Oh well.
- On a happier note, lots of rattie socializing has been going on in the Lair of the Goddess, and that's been much appreciated.
- I don't think I have much more to talk about, and I need to get ready for work, so enjoy the pictures from the last couple of weeks below!
Have a lovely Thursday!
