It is a new month, and therefore I am going to try something different. I am only going to post about the positive things in my life, and then maybe I'll feel more cheerful re-reading it. So recently I got two new jobs, one working as a tutor at a primary school, and another working at Jimmy John's. My tutoring job has so far gone pretty well, especially considering I have had no previous experience with small children, and was intimidated by them. There are still times when I want to find a corner, but I feel that I've grown quite a bit as a person.
As much as I dislike working at a drive-thru window at Jimmy John's, I managed to pick it up pretty quickly. I feel like the only thing I'm still not qualified to do is make the sandwiches, because I don't know them. But I got a little study guide so I can pursue my lifelong dream of working at Jimmy John's. Kidding.
I'm hoping that I'll start getting paychecks pretty soon. My car worries me sometimes, and I like knowing that I can avert a crisis when it happens. Lumie actually got jealous and bitchy with me on Friday afternoon. I had been checking out this Mitsubishi 3000GT before I went to work, and in all the pictures she is sitting jealously in the background. It was after that that I nearly got into two car accidents because of her brakes and her tranny starting shifting like I was getting rear-ended each time. And she shook. So I made her a facebook to appease her, and now she's being good for me again. WTF car. But I love her, she's my pretty lady. I just want her to stay with me as long as she can.
I have survived doing 18 hours a week and working 6 hours a week. Now I will survive that and additional hours on the weekend. While I feel somewhat like a badass I know I'm putting myself in a dangerous spot, but I think the payoff will be well worth it. Two paychecks coming in? And both places are less than 3 minutes away? I think yes :). Money to fuel my driving habits and to back me up in the future. I'm hoping to have enough money by the time she dies to get an even nicer, more fuel efficient car. I would absolutely hate to be without one now that I have one. My car is very important to me, and having to drive something that I don't like will make me unhappy, like a fucking Dodge Grand Mini-Caravan. Speaking of which, I almost parked between two of those at the Primary school today. Soooo glad that I didn't, they would have fucked Lumie, up that poor girl. Fucking Caravans are fucking crazy. And the people that drive them. Nuts, every one. My mom drives one, and I learned in one. I know what I'm talking about... So luckily I caught myself and pulled up to the side of them, and avoided injury.
Is it sad that almost everything good in my life is my car? It's something that I can depend on, and that can get me the fuck out of here if I want to be. It's always there when no one else is, and that makes it something to depend on. I'm not gonna vent on here, it's not worth it. Better to hold it in and speak it to only those that care to ask, than blurt it out on a public site. I tried to make it as positive as possible, so... yeah.
