Journal Entry: 05/14/09

So. Today started as any old day. I woke up at three AM after going to bed at two AM. Insomnia kills me. Officially woke up around nine, went downstairs and ate a salad with a light dressing of ranch for breakfast.

Then it was off to work which I, like every other cash strapped college kid, love oh so much. I'm not going to tell you where I work yet, but I do work part time. My boss is the best ever and there is no office politics because we mutually agree on the disliking of drama. Our department operates like a family and we treat eachother as such. Today was basically putting out stock and selling merchandise. It's fun to get merchandise that the buyer over-ordered and you don't really have room for and squeezing it out onto the salesfloor for the customers to buy.

Human Resources called me today on the salesfloor and I was nervous, because the only time I had seen human resources call someone was to terminate their employment. I haven't done anything wrong, but I was still worried. I nervously picked up the awaiting phone that my associate had left on the table for me and said, trying so hard to try my nervousness, "Goid Afternoon, Men's Department, this is Will." The HR lady I talked to had a soothing tone in her voice. I instantly knew I wasn't in trouble. Turns out I just became elegible for Health Insurance, which I waived because I'm already covered by my parents insurance. I then went back to putting out stock and refolding shirts for the billionth time, only to turn around and have customers make a mess in user three seconds. Needless to say, my shift end came very fast and I happily drove home in my car that has balding tires and half a tank of gas because I'm strapped for cash. I'm currently looking for a second job. Hopefully either somewhere close, or work at home. But no scams. All I find are scams. I want something real that makes money. I don't expect to do nothing but I do expect decent compensation for the work I do do because I would dedicate basically all my free time to it, but I digress.

Then I came home and wrote randomly in my journal until dinner. Then I went back to writing until I had to go to bed.
