Long Delayed Update
I am getting so bad about writing on a regular basis. I was so sure that once I had internet access from home, that I would start writing again more consistently. Boy was I wrong. And the sad thing is that I still log on to OD everyday. I just don’t ever write. There has been so much going on that I don’t even know where to begin.
Jacob doesn’t have a new job yet. He has been looking (sort of) for a new job, but has also sort of been slacking off. I’m not trying to ride his ass too much about the situation, but it is coming close to that time where he is going to need to get whatever job he can, otherwise we are screwed. I’ve noticed that now that he isn’t working, he is turning into quite the night owl, and will stay in bed extremely late into the day. I’m really not too happy about that, but at the same time, I don’t want to bitch about it due to the fact that I’m tired of arguing. BUT… I’m not going to put up with it for much longer either.
He did have an interview at Walgreens yesterday, so I guess we can keep are fingers crossed for that. But I’m not going to hold my breath do to the fact that they are doing a background check on him. Now he only has a misdemeanor on his record, however he has lost two other jobs because of it. I just don’t know. This whole situation is just very frustrating.
On a good note though… I did get my raise!!! It was actually only a partial raise due to the fact that I had kind of started slacking off on part of my job when it came to communicating with some of the clients at one of the two companies that I support. No doubt it was something that could have totally been avoided on my part. I let my procrastination instincts come through, and get myself into a bit of a pickle 2 or 3 times. I now have everything back under control now though, and my boss has told me that as long as I don’t have anymore avoidable issues on my part for the next 2 months, then he will give me ANOTHER raise at that time. NO PROBLEM!!!! I’m so on top of everything now that there will be no more communication errors on my part.
So now I’m up to $17.50/hour and am hoping to be up to about $19+/hour by the time that I get the second raise. Once I get that second raise, I am going to buy my plane tickets to go home and visit my family and friends this summer. I’ve been a bit homesick as of late. Mainly because I haven’t been around my family for so long, and right now as I type this my cousin who is ALREADY a junior in high school is playing basketball in the STATE TOURNAMENT back home!!!! I was so happy for him when I found out that they made it to state!!!!
My school hasn’t been to state basketball since I was in 4th grade. Sad thing is that I was actually around the last time that we went. Not really sad… just the fact that it makes me feel so old!!! 15 years ago… OMG!!! I’m getting old!!! I used to babysit my cousin that is in this tournament. He is going to be a SENIOR next year. Makes me sad in a way. Mainly because I have seperated myself from my family so much. But it’s my own fault. I’m the one that decided not to live in Nebraska and stay close with everyone. I’m not saying that I’m not happy where I am now. I love my job. I love California. I just miss family. Life really does go on. I see the proof of that now.
So I know that there is so much more that I am missing in this entry, but I just wanted to write SOMETHING. ANYTHING to keep my diary going. I need to quit being such a slacker when it comes to my diary. The only thing that I can think of is… AT LEAST I HAVEN’T LET IT GO COMPLETELY!!!
I guess I better get back to work. I played hookie yesterday, and have a bit of catching up to do now. Gotta stay on top of things!!! I have another raise to get!!!! LOL
