Okay, it is roughly 8:00 a.m. and I haven't gone to sleep yet. "Why, crazy girl?" you say. Because I just got off work at 6:00 a.m. and I'm trying to get sleepy. I started a new job (at a gas station) and I work from 10:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. Definetly not my choice of hours, or place to work 5 days a week but I do it. My grandmother raised us and social security checks never bought Nikes or Adidas. Now that Im older (20 in Jan!!) I could care less if my shoes arent name brand. In fact some of the Wal-Mart workers know me by name!! My first job was at 15 in a retirement home. This is the first one I knew right off the bat I could at least tolerate. The only thing is, THE HOURS!! I don't know if I'll get used to this. With the holidays just around the corner I am DETERMINED to help my grandmother provide my sisters with a little more this Christmas. I know, I know gas station attendents arent too high on the food chain. My grandmother used to get help (yes, you can snicker now, it was government help) but I am an adult now. I feel responsible for myself and I feel that I owe a great debt to her. I know I should be in school but we don't have the money and the way things are looking it's not gonna be easy to get help (yes, more government help) So, until the bills stop and the girls (sisters) stop needing things for school ect. I'll be at this job. Also, working over 40 hours a week and the schedule I have doesnt offer much time for school. UGHHH okay I just realized this post was one big pity party. I promise, I don't usually complain about this, I guess I just need to be reassured that I'm not the only one. I do, however, feel that this was a blessing. I was between a rock and a hard place before. The town I live in doesnt offer much. My grandmother has NEVER thought about putting me out because I dont have a job, but it doent mean I should be without one. So, I got one. ANYWAYS maybe I am getting sleepy, for I fear this post is one big run-on sentence :) Haha so what job or schedule have you guys HAD to keep that you hated? And if you worked the graveyard shift, how did you deal with your social life going down the drain. I hate feeling so adult and grown up, though it also feels so liberating... or something like that.

Halloween is Right around the corner.. .

. When I was your ages, which wasnt THAT long ago I worked alot of factory jobs. The worst one was a plastics plant, where molds of plastic came out a machine and you had to be quick with the carving of the edges and the drilling, etc. You had to do like 6 things before the machine opened up with a new piece. I stabbed myself so many times, the worst one was my stomach. My hands hurt so bad from constantly gripping a knife that by the end of the day I couldnt even move them. I worked midnights, that job was a nightmare. LOL ~frobbins~
