Ok, this is me venting, so if you're in a good mood, I wouldn't reccommend reading it. I've just not had a very good day and want to talk about it. So my work schedule for next month is as follows: every Friday, every Monday, and every Sunday. Yeah, including Sam's 18th bday, CHRISTMAS DAY!, and New Year's Day. I realize that someone has to work those days, but I'm also working Thanksgiving Day, so I feel it's a little unfair to make me work all three holidays in a row. I talked to Amy today about coming in at 4:30 vs 1:30 so I can at least go see family for an hour or two, but she didn't really give me a for sure answer. Allissa said she maybe would, since they're just staying home for X-mas, but I feel bad making someone else do it, I'll just go and then go home and my family can come home whenever they feel like it. Not like I can go to a party or anything, it's fucking Christmas and everyone's with family, except me. Yeah, I'm feeling a little sorry for myself, but hey, I have to spend the afternoon cleaning and doing dishes and then go home to my empty house and microwave some Ramen or something for dinner. Great. I'm also pissed that I can't go to ski practice for the rest of the week, and I couln'dt go today. Today Nancy called me to the office and told me that I needed to go to the Brook at 3:30 for a mandtory staff meeting (that ended up being about what the CENA's do mostly), I have to work tomorrow, and Wednesday I have to go work on my sleigh because I can't on Thanksgiving and then my grandpa is going to my uncle's downstate to hunt for the weekend. I'll just do Tae-Bo tomorrow lol, or run with Macy...I'll just have to wear a lot of clothes. Maybe I'll sweat a lot and lose some weight. I hope it gets really cold and snowy like they're forcasting, because I really want to go skiing. Alex said something about going to Crystal Mountain, because they have been making snow and stuff, and I hope they're open, or Boyne Mountain, whichever lol, as long as I get to go! I need to check out my skis vs my dad's and decide which would be better for me to race in, since they said I couldn't get new ones. His are taller, and even though we got ours the same year, he hasn't used his in about 3 years, since he hurt his back, which makes his have about 2 years of use and mine have 5. We'll see, I'll measure them and stuff and ask Matt, he would know. I guess that's it, I have a Chem 2 lab to do and a Chem and Spanish test to study for. Hasta! ::EDIT:: Ok, so it got better lol, I was talking to Jake and Alex was there, they were using Jake's recording software to record themselves and send it to me lol, it was freaking hilarious! And Alex promised to call when he got back from Jazz Band, which is good lol, since I was thinking earlier that I really wanted to talk to him tonihgt. And I found this online and it cheered me up....hope it does the same for someone else: You may not realize it, but it's 100% true. 1. At least 2 people in this world love you so much they would die for you. 2. At least 15 people in this world love you in some way. 3. The only reason anyone would ever hate you is because they want to be just like you. 4. A smile from you can bring happiness to anyone, even if they don't like you. 5. Every night, SOMEONE thinks about you before they go to sleep. 6. You mean the world to someone. 7. If not for you, someone may not be living. 8. You are special and unique. 9. Someone that you don't even know exists, loves you. 10. When you make the biggest mistake ever, something good comes from it. 11. When you think the world has turned its back on you, take a look: you most likely turned your back on the world. 12. When you think you have no chance of getting what you want, you probably won't get it, but if you believe in yourself, probably, sooner or later, you will get it. 13. Always remember the compliments you received. Forget about the rude remarks. 14. Always tell someone how you feel about them; you will feel much better when they know. 15. If you have a great friend, take the time to let them know that they are great. Sometimes you kiss someone & you know right then & there that's who you want to kiss for the rest of your life - I hope you find that. That's all for now, HASTA AGAIN!
