Finally Over!!!

I have officially finished summer classes! Hooray! Now I can go home and sleep! Finally! The torture that is Chemistry 102 is now over! I can now take a short break and not worry until August 24th, which is when I start back for fall semester. Hopefully I can get through it. I seriously don't think I'll be doing another summer course, especially not at my school. I'm still looking into transferring, but I have till April to send in my applications, that's enough time to decide. I'm hoping this week and a half is enough time for me to catch back up on sleep, who knows if I'll get any during the fall. This break also means that I probably won't be posting that much, not that I do that now. It mainly means I probably won't be posting that much on my other blog, the one I review books on. Well anyways this was just suppose to be a short rant about finally being done with summer classes. I am never going through that again!(Hopefully)

Oh and before I forget, I remember that last year I had posted about working at the post office. Well I thought I would still be working there, but they got bought out. I was going to reapply and work for the new company(they really seemed to want me), but I had applied for a couple of other jobs just in case I wasn't guaranteed a job at the post office, which I wasn't. So I had an interview with Special Collections, a branch of the library, and they were willing to hire me that day. So I went to talk to the new boss at the post office, and he told me he would love to have me but there was no guarantee and actually told me to take the job at the library. I wasn't going to argue. I kind of wanted a change. I loved working at the post office, but I have always loved the library and am hoping that this job goes ok. I also liked that they basically guaranteed me a job as long as I informed them of my plans by today. I had talked to the post office on Monday, and then called them that same day. It's the same hours, same pay. It's just a change of scenery. I won't see people as much, but I'm an introvert, I never really liked dealing with arrogant college students anyways. The only reason I say this is because a bunch of them thought they had a right to tell me how to do my job, when they had no idea what they were talking about. One girl even told me to tell whoever puts stuff in the mailboxes to make sure not to cause the boxes to open because hers was open. After talking to one of my supervisors, I was told there was no way we could of caused her box to come open from putting mail in there. She had left it open. I wasn't mad that she told me this, I was mad at the way she said, all high and mighty. No, I'm not going to miss it. I am going to miss being able to tell my friends when their package has gotten there, or being there when mine got there, and being able to get as soon as I processed it. I loved that part. I also really liked my co workers, but only a few of them are going to still be there. I'm really looking forward to my new job. I will most likely start as soon as fall semester starts, which is another plus since the post office couldn't tell me when I would be able to start back if I did get the job.

Now this is really the end of this post.

I Just Love Getting Stuff in The Mail!

It does seem like that every time I get an email from my post office here at school that I have a package waiting for me to pick up, I get really excited. I know what it is most of the time, but I still get excited about going and getting it. I know others do too. How do I know this? Well it's not because I see people walking around with a box from the post office in their hands smiling all the time. No, it's because I work at my post office. Yep that's the job I got. I started a couple of weeks ago, but I only work 2 days a week, Tuesday and Thursday. So I haven't been working long. I'm a clerk. I basically give people their packages, bringing smiles to their faces, and I sell postage and mail things off. It's actually been kind of interesting. I have made some mistakes, which is to be expected since I just started. Today was interesting. I have a time card that I have to put in this machine to clock in and out. Well, I went to clock out for my lunch break, and the machine ate it. Really it ate it! Actually it just got stuck, but that thing seriously hates me! It takes forever for it to actually stamp my card. I have to stick it in there multiple times, and last week it hadn't clocked me out for the week before, so it had me working for 3 days straight! But one of the directors fixed it for me. Well about my time card being stuck, it's still stuck! Yea the main director tried to get it out. When I told her about it, she said that it had never happened before, so of course it had to happen to me first. Again, I tell you this thing hates me! Well when she tried to get it out, she stuck another time card down in there. Why, I don't know, maybe to see if it could still work with mine in there. Well that just jammed mine further in there. Before u could see the top of it, and if you had extremely skinny fingers, you could of probably gotten it out. Well now you can't even tell it's in there. Another weird thing is that they don't have a key for it. You know a key to to open it up and possibly get my time card out. So for now it's stuck and everyone is having to write their time down. I hate that they have to do that, but it's not my fault. I didn't tell the stupid machine to eat my time card! So today was just another exciting day at the post office. I did actually get something in the mail, and I got to get it myself. Yep, I'm special. I hope Thursday is just as interesting. Really, I hope that my time card is back in its spot where I usually put it. So this ends my rant about my wonderful, never boring, job at the post office.

Adios,

Just When It Starts to Get Better, It Gets Worse

So I was having to get up before six and be to work by seven. Now I won't have to be at work till nine thirty. This seems like something good, but that is wrong. It's bad because I'm being cut three hours. I won't be making nearly as much as I would of been. Totally sucks. I feel like I should just quit and have really nothing to do all summer. I need something to do. I have never really liked summer. It's too hot, and I'm always bored. I've always liked winter more. At least I've made friends with a couple of my co-workers. The only ones close to mine and my sister's age. These guys are I think at least twenty-one. I wish I was twenty-one. Being eighteen is not what it's cracked up to be. I have yet to buy a lottery ticket or go to a club. I feel like I've been jipped out of being eighteen. It's been all my choice though. So it's my fault if I haven't been living it up being eighteen. I need to get out, and do something. Now since I only work from nine thirty to one thirty, I might have some time to do something actually exciting over the summer. Now what will I choose to do? So many choices in a small town like mine. I think I would rather go on a road trip and just get away from everything. Maybe I will. I just need people to go with, because a solo road trip is no fun. I can't count on my sis going with me, she can be a total bore, and never wants to do anything fun. I somethings wonder how we're related, then I remember she looks almost exactly like me. So I know we have to be related, or Mom managed to find my doppelganger and adopt her. So I'm going to go think about what I should do to have fun in what is the most boring town in the world. Maybe they'll be something to post about later, probably not.

Does it Get Any Better? The Answer is...

NO! What I am referring to is my job. It's just awful. It's too hot to be sitting outside all day waiting for people, and I have much better things I should be doing instead of preparing and serving(not actually) to people. Most of the time no one shows up. Today we didn't even go to one place, because they decided to stop serving there. So my sis and I had 30 minutes to waste before we had to be at the next destination. We just went ahead and drove to the next destination because it's all the way on the other side of town from where we were, so it takes forever to get there anyways. Yesterday we were late to every destination, not that any one was there or that anyone noticed. Today we were early to every place. I wonder if we'll ever be exactly on time. Tomorrow is the last day I have to go through this torture for this week. Next year, I plan on finding a different job. It's money, but I'd at least want to like my job, but still it's money, and I need that, right? Right. I'll just keep telling myself everyday when I have to get up before six during the summer, and have no time really for anything else. Yea telling myself that will definitely work. No, it's never going to work. I have to deal with it anyways. This really sucks. Blah, blah, blah. Something, hopefully, will brighten my spirits soon, or not.

Work Is Such a Bore

As I am writing this I'm sitting on concrete waiting for people to come get food. It seems utterly pointless to be doing this. I thought someone would of shown up by now but no. All I get is someone in a Lexus who just parked here, and not doing anything. Also some old man keeps driving by. Wow! My job is fun. What my job is is this summer feeding program, where me and some other people including my twin sis, fix lunch and hand it out to kids in different communities in my town. It's something my mom's boss decided to try out this year. So at the places I went to, because right now I'm actually off work, no one showed up. Maybe it was because it's a holiday or because my sis and I looked like we didn't really want to be there, so no one wanted to approach us. No one even bothered to come up to us, so maybe it wasn't us. Who knows.

I was so bored earlier, I decided to try out my mobile posting. It worked pretty good. I just have no idea how to add a title and all that. So I will try it again some other day. Right now, I'm typing this on my laptop. So much easier than trying to do it on my tiny keyboard on my Palm.

Oh, my job gives me so much joy! Yea, I'm never going to say that again.  I just hope it gets better. Maybe someone will actually show up tomorrow. I hope so, or I'm really going to regret that I that I told my mom I'll work this. Wish me luck that it turns out better tomorrow.
