I hope you guys haven't all deserted me. I havent had much to say lately. I've been so busy with work and taking care of my son that I'm usually too tired to do much else. My son has been having some trouble adjusting to my new schedule so pretty much all my extra time has been devoted to him. That and I found out the hard way that mandation is a bitch. I got mandated Friday night and couldnt find anyone to split with me so I had to work a double shift. I also have a total case of writers block, and when I try to write blocked it just sucks. Give me another day or two to recover and hopefully I'll have something written that will be worth reading.

no doubt, chem. people tell me all the time 'you should go work there, you'll make good money and retirement'. what do they know? i tell them-
1) i don't want to work for 20 at a job i hate, one reason i'm in school for what i am. 2) why don't they get a job renting out and cleaning porta-potties, they will make lots of money.
i think i might just start telling them to fuck off.
rose, i don't know what to say about writer's block. i would suggest you do like e.a. poe, except that opium might be hard to come by around here.

Since I have no interest to go to school to do what you two do, I figure I may as well get paid well to do what Im doing

hey, don't give her a hard time, maybe she likes it there. But yes, mandation would suck, it's one thing if you volunteer for it, but quite another if you are expected to at the last minute.

I get ordered at my work too and it really sucks when it happens. But I make the most of it. I talked to someone about it when we got ordered like everyday for 4 months and all time off was suspended. People told me to quit and work somewhere else, but I realized that I really liked what I did. I accepted that it came with the territory and I just tried to enjoy my time off even more.

papaogun has a good point. if i could i would try to feel that way but i figure that if i can't make a living in 40 hrs and they (corporation, company, boss man, whatever) can't hire enough help to cover whatever responsibilities they have taken on, there is no need for me to work at whatever sorry ass job i find myself at. plus i sometimes find myself acting out, um, inappropriately? toward my bosses/supervisors, which is only exacerbated the more time i spend with them against my will. i was not put on earth to work my life away. some call me lazy or unmotivated but my true motivation is to get the work done and LEAVE. besides, rose, our real job in life is to raise our children to be decent human beings. that's why i am in and will stay in school until i can write my own schedule (more or less) and send my own bills to people. rose, you don't have to do what me and chem are, and you should go where the money is but don't discount schooling. i wish i had done this years ago. and we won't abandon you just cause you don't write everyday.

I agree Tut. For the most part I accept the annoying things about my workplace. But there is a point where I won't put up with the BS and leave.

i agree, rose, and am not trying to rush you. i was 30 before i had enough of a feeling of what i wanted to do with myself to go do it. it's never too late till you're dead. i'm still a little sorry i never gave bullfighting a try though.
