so much for being a rolly polly.

uggggggggggggggggggggggghscribbledee.

so starts another week of work. i actually like my job, but i found out that we're going to six day work weeks. that would be greeeat if i was hourly, but since i'm salaried it just plain sucks. when do i get to have a life? i should have noticed that all the managers are single, super stressed, and over 35. do i want to be bridget jones when i'm 35? NO.

i have plans in my life that don't center around a career. they're called "husband" and "family." this is not optional. so, i'm happy with my job for now, but i refuse to let my "career" ruin my personal life.

in other news...that's actually about it.

OH.MY.GOD.

i finally have about five minutes to update my blog. yay!

so, work is going good. that was...until i had to work open to close on my day off. which i wouldn't mind if (1) i wasn't salaried and was getting paid extra for those hours and (2) there was a reason for me to be there (like the meeting i was supposed to have with the boss that never quite occurred). oh well...such is life.

i'd update you on my awesomely amazing life, but since all i do is work and sleep, i have NO LIFE. looks like i'll be able to save a lot of that hard earned dough. we got new coach purses in and i really want this certain one, but what's the use? it would probably just sit in my car for the next, well...forever.

ugh.

i get this weekend off though, so things are temporarily looking up.

i get my first paycheck on thursday! SCORE.

checking the perimeter.

so i'll be working at the handbag and accessory department at the BIGGEST dillard's in the state of TEXAS.

my sister and i went to the mall yesterday and just happened to stop by dillard's. i wanted to see what types of people i would be working with. well, we soon found out the answer to my question. there were two women working the handbag area. they were both about 55-60 years old. say what? yep.

little ol' me is supposed to be telling these women what to do. it just makes me nervous because nobody over the age of 35 takes me seriously. i look about 17. and that's on an "old" day. we'll see how this goes.

i've also got my eye on a sweet ride. i'll keep it under wraps until it's legally mine, but i think you guys will like it ;)

holy shnit (for lack of a better word)

I GOT A JOB!

go me, go me, go me, go me!

i start monday!

yippy skippy

well, i didn't get the texas tech job. which is a little surprising because the guy talked to me for over an hour. uuuuuuuusfjnsgoing;forngvoins;gonisnjgo;iggggggghhhhh.

one down, one to go.

...one step closer to joining the army.

yep.

so this is the week where i find out if i have a job here in el paso or if i get to join the army.

what a great way to start a completely non-stressful week!

in other news, i opened my email this morning to find i received an email i've been waiting on for months, and lo and behold, the message ended up being blank...NO NO NO NO NO!

oh, how i heart monday.

heart heart heart.

that's right. i am.

so i took the asvab today. talk about a joke.

it's supposed to take 2-3 hours. i finished in an hour. this made me a little nervous because whenever i finish a test early i wonder if i just think i know what i'm doing when in actuality i have no clue. not to mention that when i was waiting to check in the guy sitting next to me asked me what i did to study...WHAT? WE WERE SUPPOSED TO STUDY? haha. i did absolutely nothing to prepare. he bought a study guide and was taking it very seriously.

so i finish and walk up to the proctor and she looks a little confused that i finished so early. this adds to my trepidation. she prints off my scores, staples them shut and hands it to me. apparently she can tell i'm feeling unsure of myself because she says "you did excellent".

phew! big ol' sigh of relief.

so basically all that happened was i proved i am a GENIUS.

did i mention that i was the ONLY girl there? i mean there were only like ten of us, but come on.

i also ventured to the gym again. i am amazed at how quickly my body has learned to love exercise, and how much better i feel afterward. i am not amazed with how much i weigh. more like disgusted. so from now on i will not eat any junk. i will not drink any soda. that's right: soda diet is back. and i'll do some other healthy stuff which i will figure out later ;) i've started (okay, i'm GOING TO start) an exercise journal so i can keep track of my progress.

i ran tonight and i am going to circuit training in the morning. my trainer (dad) says i should go once in the morning and once in the evening. UGH/YAY!

sunshine

i am so glad/thankful i live in a place that is going to be 78 degrees when everyone else seems to be getting cold and snow.

i think i'm beginning to figure out what i need to do with my life right now. that's a nice feeling to have.

i'm taking the asvab tomorrow. the first step in my newest quest. wish me luck.
