I got a new job, so I haven’t had much of a chance to get on here and update or anything. Though the only thing I really have to talk about is my new job, which I’m loving. I know it’s going to be a good job because I’m only a week in, and I have only had office and accounting training so far… but My bosses are already talking to me about getting more into the environmental sciences portion of the company. Great opportunities to do something more and have an impact, which is what I’ve really wanted out of a job, so it’s nice to know that the opportunity may be within reach. The fact that I’m only 7 minutes away now doesn’t hurt either.
Other than the new job, there isn’t much else to update about. I’m basically living with Chris. most of my clothes are at his apartment and I haven’t slept at my apartment in months. But even though we’re settling in together, I still wake up every morning amazed by how in love and happy I am.
At this job, you need a car. If you don’t have one, then you should find a job that is closer to where you live and closer to a bus stop. The fact that you refuse to do so does not mean that it’s racist of management to deny you the special hours you’ve requested. Management has denied all requests for special hours, for everyone in the office.
I had car troubles a little while back. Not once did I call into work because of it. I did what was needed to:
A. get to work every day on time, and
B. make sure I had a reliable car.
Does it mean I took on an extra debt on my already tight income? hell yes. Because the fact is that I needed a car to get to work, and to get anywhere else I wanted to go. It would have been my problem that I couldn’t get to work, not my boss’s, not my coworkers, not my managers, mine.
The reason you keep being written up at work isn’t because you’re Puerto Rican. It’s because you were missing work on a consistent basis.
I need the smell of summer, I need it’s noises in my ears.
The 3 days of beautiful weather was so teasing. I can feel the need for warm sunshine overtaking me every day, I want to wear my dresses and skirts and heels! Then logic takes over and I have to accept that it’s still only march, and we still have April to get through (most likely) before the beautiful weather becomes consistent. I am so excited for this summer! I can’t wait for the long days and bare skin and and the hot sun… I want to do so much, and we already have a few awesome things planned; disney, a wedding, I get to actually move in with my amazing boyfriend and stop paying for an apartment I’m almost never at!
The recent rains have been soothing. I love falling asleep to the sound of it outside, or waking up to it in the middle of the night. Even during the day it’s not so bad, because it doesn’t hurt anymore when it hits you in the face like the cold rain of winter does.
I need to get better at conserving money. I don’t really have a disposable income, but I tend to spend it that way. I’ve started staying at work for lunch (regardless of how bad the break room smells), and I bring my lunch every day now. I got gas on Saturday and drove around quite a bit, but I still have 1/4 take of gas left! normally I would have had to get gas yesterday but I have been good about not driving frivolously. I’ve also been working on paying off MCC so I can hopefully go to school in the fall… Though I completely forgot I’d sent the m $120 last week and only had $116 in my bank account when the check withdrew… whoops. I talked to my bank though, and they took off the $10 charge for OD Protection since i deposited $20 that same day. Moral of the story: I need to pay more attention to my spending. I haven’t bought shoes in months!
I’ve applied to jobs closer to Fairport, I’m keeping my fingers crossed that some of those pan out. Even though Jerry said if things keep up the way they are we could possibly get raises in June… I don’t like having to drive between 40 min and an hour (25 miles) to work every day. That’s 50 miles round trip, which means I’m driving 250 miles a week just to work and back… no me gusta. Also, my coworkers depend on me too much to clean up their messes and I’m not a fan of doing so anymore.
Other than my work situation, I’m overall pretty happy. It’s refreshing.

Iggy pop is such a bad ass. There’s an interview I watched where his manager talked about having to bail him out of jail. The manager shows up and Iggy is drunk, disorderly, and wearing a dress. His manager asked “Ig, why are you wearing a womans dress?” and Iggy replied “I beg to differ, this is a mans dress.”
^ It’s like Eddie Izzard says - ‘They’re not women’s clothes. They’re my clothes. I bought them.’

Meet Vixey.
She was rescued as a puppy from a fur farm. If she’d stayed there, like millions of other foxes, she would have been anally or vaginally electrocuted to become part of a fur coat for companies like INTERMIX.
Fur-bearing animals, like foxes, are no different from the dogs & cats we live with and love. If we don’t stop their slaughter, no one will.
On behalf of Vixey, please sign and share our INTERMIX fur-free petition.
