Monica: August 2004 Archives

OK, so I guess maybe I was a little confused as to what this blog page thing was all about. Everyone is writing about all these prolific things and revelations that they have had, and here I am writing about all the stupid shit I have done today. Maybe I don't have a lot to say about what is going on with me, or maybe I just feel uncomfortable saying it all out loud where anybody surfing around on the ol' superweb could come along and find me out.

Well, here goes nothin.............

I have started my old job again, and I guess I never realized how much I enjoy working with people. I got so frustrated at the other job, waiting on people who can very well help themselves, and who choose to be slobs and choose to be rude to the person standing behind the counter. Every day John comes home and tells me what a horrible day he has had, and it rarely has to do with his boss, the actual work or his co-workers. It is always about how rude someone has been to him, how people have no respect for their fellow person. I never truly understood what he was talking about until I also worked retail. Then... then I understood how un-person-like(excuse the wierd sound of that) people can be. How hard is it to smile to at the person who is walking down the sidewalk towards you? How tough can it be to say thank you to the person who just took your money at the grocery store, or at the gas station? Can't you please put down your cell phone when you walk up to the counter, and say hello to the real  person who is standing behind it? Can't you see that person for who they are, an actual person, a soul, a human being not so different from yourself?  How can so many people over look this simple fact??

 

Well, I finally got all of my internship project done. I turned it in and now I just have to wait for a grade, (hope its a good one). I am also finishing up my employment with the clothing store in Midland. I liked the job, but it was such a far drive everyday. Plus, I was offered my old job back with the group home. I know, I know, why am I goiing back to that job? Well, they wanted me back, actually called me and wanted me to apply for it. Plus they are going to pay me more than the clothing store did, and give me 40 hours a week instead of 30. ANd its only a 10 minute drive opposed to a 45 minute drive.

So school starts up at the end of the month, cant wait to get done with all of that. I cant wait to be out of school.

Also, I recently decided that I am going to Amsterdam in March. I will be done with school (God willing) and so I am going to take a trip. THere is also a band that I am nuts about right now playing, along with somoe others, and that was a big deciding factor on where I was going. Any ways, john and i along with two other couples will be making the trip. should be a great time. BUt right now, I am just enjoying whats left of the summer......
