Body Betrayal

Well....again, work is going well. Work is going very well, in fact. I think I'm going to like it here.

This week we're actually getting practice at helping customers, though for now we're working in groups. I feel like I'm having to direct the people I'm working with, though, so I'm starting to feel like I might be a natural at this job. We'll have to see, though. I won't go into specifics, because...well, really, I can't at the risk of losing the job. :P

The only trouble I've been having lately is that today I woke up at 7:56am. That's one of those panicked, rushed mornings. Luckily, my ride is cool and she didn't leave without me. She woke up at 7:20 herself, and so she was at my place at 7:30am. I so thought she ditched me, but she's one of those rare good people that wouldn't do that or else feel so very guilty. So I was only mildly late to work as a result, though I skipped a real breakfast, and brushing my teeth, and I took a 5-minute shower. >.<

Let me tell you, it's not easy to have to argue with your mother that you can afford to take their 10-year-old car for yourself. I've got a job now...I'm in training still, but I've got the job. I have my schedule, and I'm going to be making $360 a week. That's about $1400 a month...sometimes 1800, for those months that have 5 paydays instead of four. After rent and food, that leaves plenty of money left over to pay insurance, gas, everything else. After all, the car is over 10 years old and completely paid for. I also still have money left over to pay the interest on those federal loans, because I KNOW my parents want to push that onto me, though I don't understand why they think it's so important.

I'll just have to deal for now, because other than the fact I don't have a personal means of transportation, this job is absolutely perfect for me. And...well, that's a problem because I have horrible sleeping habits. Hence me being awake right now. So...I'll post more later, I suppose.
