I Will Do This

It's official. I'm going back to school.

It's been a month, and I haven't gotten any calls for any permanent positions, even though I've applied to over 50 jobs. I don't know what else to do. I've been talking about doing nursing for a long time, and I think that this is as good a time as any. I've applied and been accepted to Georgia Highlands College. I'll be applying to the nursing program in the next week or so, so wish me luck. I don't think I'll have a lot of trouble, but I absolutely must get in this deadline for this fall, or it will take me an entire year longer because of the way the classes fall. Ugh. It's nerve wracking.

Anyway, I will, by the grace of God and every single thing working out, be an RN in two years.

The next time you see me, I will be wearing scrubs. Or at least, I better be.

Confession: Semi-Good News

I have an interview today for a supply teacher (long-term substitute) position at a local high school teaching Physical Science. I am probably going to be super depressed when I don't get this position because a) I need good news, b) I need a reason to get up and get dressed everyday, and c) I'm the biggest math and science nerd EVER, and I happen to love the material taught in this class.

The position is temporary, immediately to April 13th, so it isn't very long. However, the Assistant Principal said there is a possibility of it extending to the end of the school year.

I really want this, so please wish me luck and say a prayer for me, if you do that sort of thing. Thanks.

Joann Fabric Store

I am normally used to people acting like complete assholes in retail. It doesn't get to me. I went into the Joann here on Friday and got a bunch of fabric, and the guy who helped me was awesome. I was so impressed! I went back today to get more stuff--we're talking lots of stuff (I've dropped $200 there already). I was completely disappointed and disgusted.

"Christine", or so her name tag says, was a complete bitch. She made sure she didn't give me a millimeter extra of fabric (most places give you a little over the yard), and she just had a complete attitude. I asked her to cut a piece of fabric into two two-yard sections so it would be easier for me (I can't cut straight, and they have those little slots on their counters, which is so awesome). She copped a total attitude, and she was like "I'm not supposed to do that". Um, do what? Make an extra cut? That took you all of what? Two seconds?

Bitch.

Total worthless, waste of air bitch.

It really pissed me off.

And, THEN, that woman had the audacity to ask me if I had scissors. No, bitch, I don't have any scissors. I cut the fabric with my teeth. Would you like me to demonstrate on you?

Seriously.

I started to ask for a manager, and I thought, no, I should probably cool down. I'm still not cool. I just can't believe people like that can get a job, and I can't. I mean, I would never say something like that to a customer. It's insane.

Ugh. Completely and utterly disgusted...

Word Verification

Am I the only one who is having trouble getting the word verification to load on blogger? I'm getting pretty sick of it. I can't leave anyone comments. If you use it, please consider taking it off. If you have your comments moderated, you don't need it anyway. Thanks.

Appreciating the Smaller Things

We were having withdrawals of pretty much everything fun yesterday. So, we went to the local indoor pool in the morning to play in our scuba gear. It's a cheap (free because the instructors were there doing a class) and easy way to get our scuba fix when it's freezing outside and we have no money. Then, in the afternoon, we decided to go to a friend's pasture to shoot some guns. Mine kept jamming. I swear I cleaned it the last time I shot the damn thing, but it just wouldn't feed right. And, don't say it was me because Travis has the same gun and I shot his perfectly with the same ammo. So, there. While we were there, we walked around the creek some. I sunk about a half a foot into the swampy stuff and soaked my boots--but my socks stayed dry. That always makes you happy! It was really beautiful out there, that's about all I can say. Anyway, I looked up into the country sky, which was amazing by the way, and I saw this

I know. It was the coolest thing to see. It reminds me to appreciate the simple and smaller things in life. Yesterday was a good day. A very, very good day.
