dms26 3 Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Had a little freak out at work today. Not in front of the kids. I've been really busy and not getting anything done due to some bs at work with new programs we're implementing that is causing me to have to cover a lot of classes for the teacher so she can get a lot of other, non library stuff done. The library is a mess and I'm working full days, all the while raising the money to pay myself for all but three of the 15 hours a week that I actually get paid to be there for. So I'm teaching, many days, more than half of the classes and getting paid less than 35 dollars a week that I don't have to raise myself. I'm a chump and I guess I'm tired of being a chump. I'm not going to abandon my boss or the school, but I think some changes are going to have to come if I hope to keep my sanity. Plus two of my classes today were horribly behaved, which did not help my mood. I shouldn't have to deal with the toughest classes when I make nothing.I know I'm ranting and that I'm in control of my own destiny. I can quit any time I want. I don't want to quit. I guess that means I'm going to be a chump for the foreseeable future.I'm feeling sorry for myself is all. I'll get over it.I don't blame you at all for being a little pissed. It seems like they are taking advantage of the situation. Link to post Share on other sites

Nikki_N 17 Posted December 7, 2011 Author Share Posted December 7, 2011 Sorry you've hit a rough patch at work Nik. You're not a chump, you're probably just a little too nice.And like me, I'm sure your dealing with some jealousy issues over Chicken's recent surge into super-stardom.Miss you. It isn't fair that Chicken gets to be so famous. And what the heck were you doing up at 4am?Finishing a presentation for Spanish class. I took the morning off to do it, but decided to finish it last night and sleep in a bit. I don't blame you at all for being a little pissed. It seems like they are taking advantage of the situation.Yeah, they are and some things are going to have to change. I'm not sure what, but something is going to happen.Your heart is too big for your own good sometimes Kristen. Hang in there!Thanks!I love you guys! Link to post Share on other sites

dna4ever 2 Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 A little thing called the pacific ocean.yeah, but I imagine that's pretty cold nearly year round and not something you can just jump into when ya want.I can't find one reason outside of the financial to leave an established job at a city I love, kids go to school, few hours from family, established poker biz, etc.west coast is probably falling into the ocean soon anyways and that would suck to be there when that happened.

I once had a great job offer (more than double) in the bay area but the cost of housing would have actually made it a pay cut. Link to post Share on other sites

Nikki_N 17 Posted December 12, 2011 Author Share Posted December 12, 2011 It was a fun birthday weekend. Lunch at Canal Bistro was awesome. I learned that I like their baba ganoush, despite the fact that I normally hate eggplant. I also learned about Oberon beer. YUM! There was a great crowd at the restaurant to celebrate with me that included Mr. Scott Miller. Then there was cake and Agricola at our friends, the Souths', house. To wrap it up, Raist, Conner and I hit the Starfleet convention that was happening on the east side to see Five Year Mission premier their Year Two CD. Good times.Today, my inlaws came all the way to Indy to take Raist back so I didn't have to drive. Dave's mom brought me a double chocolate cake and a lovely card with money in it. The boys and I played some Magic.Dave and I played more Agricola late in the evening and I procrastinated on my last essay for my translation class which is not due yet. Tomorrow are my last classes of the semester-THANK DOG.All in all, I call my birthday weekend a success. I expect my actual birthday tomorrow will be a let down, really.Now it's time for bed.
