I am feeling very unmotivated these days. Maybe you would call it lazy?
School seems to be dragging on and getting boring. I feel like I have been going for forever, but not really going anywhere fast.
At work things have started to change because one of the General Managers was caught stealing money. Apparently she was not ringing stuff in for what was bought for skate, but was giving the people wristbands and pocketing the money. She admitted to $10,000. The guy in charge of the building thinks it's closer to $35-40,000 she took over the course of about 2 years. The funny thing is that she was studying to be a lawyer. Her doing this is what was making our department have very bad numbers.
This has been making the boss-man rather...paranoid. Now he's always looking over everyone's shoulders and thinking everyone is stealing from him, or thinking about it.
Boyfriend and Mom have been telling me I need to go hunt down Carma and get my certificate for assisting. Then I can stop working where I have been for the past 2+ years, where it seems I end up doing everything... More than the other managers seem to do most days. I seem to get in trouble for stupid stuff the most, too. It gets very irritating.
Now I'm only working 2 days a week and she still wants me to do all the stuff I usually did on Fridays. She just expects me to shove it all in on Saturday, when there are tons of parties and throngs of little kids roaming the rink. When it's like that, I don't really have much time to do anything but keep the crowd entertained (ex. play games), listen to annoying people that complain about anything and everything, make sure my people are doing what they are supposed to be doing, and make sure the music doesn't pop up with anything "bad."
Doesn't that sound like a full plate already??
(I also "get" to go in at 8am --3 hours early-- to do the scoreboard for hockey... So I am uber tired on saturdays. I hate mornings...)
I also have school. This means homework.
Some days it's still fun. But on the other hand I'm always wondering what they're going to do next. What they will accuse me (or anyone else) with. With them "stepping" things up, even people that are innocent may end up taking a fall because of how fire-happy things seem to be pointing these days...
About 3 people in skate in the last few weeks. And I haven't a clue at how many in the other departments... Sounds like quite a few.
An assisting job would pay more AND be much less stressful. The downside is that I have to get used to waking up eArLy o_O ugh...
I don't think I could work at a new job unless they would let me get off before noon, when my first class starts. Maybe.
Then there is trying to find a good place. At least I could start out at like $12/hr... That would be awesome.
AND NOW FOR SOME QUOTES!!!

I'm sorry your bluebird of happiness does not look very happy. I love you so much and want you to be happy. What can I do to make things better for you? I had some interesting jobs when I was young--I worked, of course you know, as a secretary at the AEC, then I was a secretary at Zions Bank and 1st security Bank. I worked at a dairy and at a doctor's office as a secretary. I haven't worked outside since Holly was born. Have you thought you might like to work at a bank or go to beauty school. Just thinking of things you might like to do. You are very smart and wonderful. Let me know what I can do to help, my lovely Meagan.
I like your paranoid quotes. They made me laf. :)
Too bad about work. Sorry it's getting not fun. Hope you find a better job soon-ish. I was going to say you could do dental assisting only on Fridays and Saturdays, but most dentists are closed those days, aren't they?
If working before noon doesn't work out, maybe you can start dental assisting after this semester's over? Then you could plan fall semester's classes around your job...
And maybe you could afford a car?
yeah. that's what i was thinking... trying to get one in summer and that way i won't have to try to work around my current classes.
and yes. most dental offices are only monday to either thursday or friday (most are thursday) and only til like 5.
