Productive but Bored

Starting week two of my new job and so far I am ahead of the game. There are things I have to do but I don’t have the program or password to do them. This means I will be reading about Real Property today.

I don’t really want any ECAs to come through since it means that some children are in danger but it would be nice to have something to do. Hopefully they will have my passwords soon and add the programs to my computer.

I really enjoy the people that I work with and am having an easy time learning my job. I hope this continues and I can stay ahead and be a super-star like I am accustomed to. I am such a suck up.

I really want to start my career. I hope this is a good start.

Finally Some Good News

I finally heard back about the county job, and I got it! I am so excited to start something new and to, hopefully, not hate my job every day. I have high hopes since the position is brand new and I will be able to make it my own instead of trying to fill someone else’s shoes. This is a huge opportunity for me and I hope that I live up to the expectations.

The honeymoon was wonderful. I loved having a whole week off with Josh to enjoy talking, reading, and roaming around new places. It reminds me of how much I like to travel. Josh and I should take more short trips to random towns because there are some cool things going on in these towns.

This weekend we get to set up a new bank account with my new name and enjoy Pittsburgh fireworks. Pittsburgh is obsessed with fireworks and I think that the show will be quite enjoyable. Plus, we will get to spend time with Greg on his roof and that is always fun.

If I can get some Chipotle and visit Barnes before leaving Ohio my wedding and visit home will be complete! It really is the simple things in life and I am very lucky to have so many of these things in my daily life.

The Day Comes Closer

Only four more days until our wedding. It is one of the most exciting days of my life! I love that we are doing something unique and that my dress can’t be compared to anyone elses. The whole idea that I will get to be with Josh for the rest of my life and no one can take him away is incredible and wonderful.

I wish that the news in the job market was as good as my personal life. It is so frustrating to still have heard nothing from the county about the clerk position. Hopefully I hear something before Thursday or they are going to have to wait on me. It would be so nice to come back from vacation to a new job and begin to get my shit back together.

It makes the wreck I was in even more annoying because before that wreck I didn’t have debt. If I wouldn’t have had the wreck I could have kept two jobs and been able to help Josh get out of debt. By the time we moved we would have been in an amazing position instead of a crappy one.

I really hope something happens with Lois and the disciplinary board. That lady needs to be removed from the law field for the protection of all the desperate souls in Pennsylvania.

I have high hopes for the future but currently my mood is kind of depressing when I think about it. O can’t wait for things to change forthe better.

Do You Think Super Heros Should Have to Register Their Powers?

Well, the second interview went rather well I think. My only concern is that since I am a law student and don’t know that I want to stay in family law they won’t pick me. They should though, I am a great candidate for the position. I would love to spend the next three years, at least, forming the position into something incredible that can make a true difference to children in the courts. It is the perfect position to teach me the importance of detail and how the writings should be completed.

Josh is currently reading some of the Civil War graphic novels. I am not a big fan of the heros with years and years of back story, there is just too much I don’t know for me to just read and enjoy the comics. However, I love discussing ideas that stem from these comics.

In the Civil War storyline the question is do you require mutants and heros to register themselves and such powers as they have?

I have decided that I don’t think they should have to register unless they are going to use those powers in public. I think that even if they are using the powers in a casual manner in public they should be required to register.

However, I don’t think the registry should be one that includes the persons mundane identity. I suggested using something like the tagging devices that so many animals now have. Asstutely Josh pointed out that this would give the government a way to find out the mundane identities of these people. If the government doesn’t already have a list somewhere because they follow people and spy on them I would be shocked. At least a list created in secret may have fewer people who can view it and more protections around it. A list is inevitable but I don’t like it and I don’t want to encourage it.

There was so much more to our discussion. It makes me want to start carrying around a tape recorder so that I can transcribe them later.

More randomness to come I am sure.

A Change is Coming

Tomorrow I finally go for my second interview with the county. I really hope it goes well. Even though I don’t think I want to get into family law I know that working in that area is highly technical and will teach me not only how to work with the county but will teach me how to handle high stress situations.

I am afraid that the other canidates will be more qualified than me, especially because of the economy. I still have high hopes!

Second Interview

I am going to go carzy before Thursday. Then I will probably go crazy after Thursday until I know if I hot the job. If only it could be as easy as getting hired at Barnes or the Glanby Firm. That would be pretty amazing!

Monday I get to go and try and win a car. It is a fun prospect even if it is very unlikely to happen. It would be great to get a new used car and to pay off half our debt. Then, with a new job I can get it done! It would be nice to have that stress off our backs.

Next weekend is the backelorette party and bridal shower. I am getting so excited for the wedding! If I can loose 10 lbs I would feel even better. I don’t think that is too much to ask in a month.

After the wedding and before school starts I want to loose another 15. After that I will try to be more confident and hate my body less.

How I miss high school and my first years of undergrad when I didn’t even have to think about my weight. Oh the wonders of dancing every weekend!

I am excited that I am being productive this summer. I hope I made it through to the next year of law school, I think it will be a much less stressful year. Hopefully, I will be better prepared and not as stressed about work and money. I have some very serious goals for myself.

I want it all!

Still Crossing

So I had a couple of calls about people interested but they have not called back. I am a little flamuxed. I have never had this kind of problem finding a job.

Meanwhile, back at the farm, we are getting some paychecks in. However, mine are all for 12.50 instead of 15 and that is rediculous. There is no reason for my pay to be lowered and I hate that she thinks she can just do it and I have to put up with it. Worse, right now I do have to put up with it because I can’t find a new job. Seriously, what am I doing wrong?

I am stressed out here and want out. I want to find a firm that I can really become a part of and not just float around hoping something better comes along.

At least finals will be over in a week and then I can read for fun and knit again!

A New Week, the Same Crap

Back from a very busy weekend at home. Planning a wedding from hundreds of miles away is exhausting. For weeks I will feel like I have things together and then I go home and I realize nothing is done.

Coming back to work was hard. It is tempting to stay home and get fired because at least that way we have some monies coming in. It is so frustrating and I know Josh is freaking out about the whole credit thing.

Mostly I hate that I am working so hard but it isn’t getting me anywhere. It makes me wonder if all of this is worth it. Sometimes living your dream feels like an impossible goal.

Crossing of Fingers and Toes

Some calls have been made and hopefully some more will be made soon. Things are moving I just don’t know if it is more crab walk back and forth or if something is actually happening. I am not going to speculate as getting excited has always ended up making things fall apart.

This office is falling apart. Lois hasn’t paid rent in almost a year and the building us threatening to evict her. I am surprised they waited this long. Bob is trying to save the office but I don’t know why. He should take initiative and get with some collegues or just start his own office. He won’t, but that is his problem not mine.

I am terrified for finals but very excited to be done with my first year of law school. Here’s hoping that I do better on finals than on mid terms.

I need to find time to make a new web page. It would be nice if I could get in an infrastructure for Josh set up so that he can start being creative. I can tell that he misses projects.

I hope that girl’s friend calls him about filming and creating comercials and editing. That would be sweet.

Too much to do and always less time to do it in.

Anger and Frustration

Lois has reduced my pay on outrageous presumptions that I am not doing my job. She is rediculous and making me very angry. I do my job quickly and I do it well. Her problem is that I want paid. I hate her more and more daily.

I have been putting out my resume like crazy and it is getting me no where. I am stressing out. There are so many things that I can do now and I want to use my skills for something worthwhile. I want to be involved with a company that appreciates me and gives me a reason to stay.

Josh is stressed out because I talk about going on unemployment because I have not been paid and she is stressing me out more than I can stand. Some days I just want to walk out, curl into a ball, and work on dissapearing. She is a terrible person and I don’t know how much more I can stand. This economy is frustrating and I do hope that I find a new possition soon. I deserve better than this.
