So I have decided to take this lay off in stride, keep my nose clean for the next 2 months, get my severance and go back to school in the fall. But for what? This hot mamma suggested that I go to nursing school, that is a great idea, if I was good at math. I really suck at math, this is really embarassing but I can’t even count change with out a calculator. It’s sad I know. I like to work with people but I don’t want to be yelled, I am tired of the call center life and would really like a change. When I look at the certificate programs that the local community college offers, nothing jumps out at me, nothing sparks my interest. I have interest but they are most like a hobby, and not a lot of money making. I love kids, but I am not sure if I could deal with screaming ones all day long. The area I live in is mostly factory work and I am not a factory kinda of worker. So what do I wanna be when I grow up? I have no fucking clue!
No what am I suppose to do May 17, 2007
I found out on Friday, that my department is being closed and moved. I will be unemployed as of August 10th! My best friend says this is a blessing, I see it as a huge road block on my plans. They have offered a severance package, and a rather good one, I have only been there 7 months. My husband and his family are pushing the going back to school thing, cause the “call centers around here are drying up”
It will be nice to not have to worry about work for the rest of August, but I wanted to start looking for a house at the end of this year, and I am really going to new a new car. This is really frustrating…
It’s finally MINE May 8, 2007
Ladies and Gents, I am not the proud owner of the Nintendo Wii!!!!!!!!!! I am not sure how I can tell you how super excited I am! I can’t even remember the last time I complained of Nintendo thumb, til the other day. I can download a good portion of the old school games.. You know it is amazing how much you remember of game that you have not played in 20 years. The last time I looked at Super Mario Brothers I was 7… There is also my new favorite game is Tiger Woods 07. I am horrible at golf, real golf. This is something that I actually feel like when I am done playing that I could go to the best course in the world and play with the best of them. There is also a game that actually makes you bowl. You have to stand like you would for real and do the whole motion, the only thing to remember is not to let go of the controller… If you all get a chance check out

It wasn’t working when I did the post so I could not link it..
Just a quick leave May 5, 2007
So I disappeared for a bit… I was dealing with the home life. It takes a lot out of me. Things have seemed to get back in to order, and working with the schedule we have now.
I am looking forward to the vacation we have planned in July, the only thing I am not looking forward to, is the 15 hours to North Carolina in the same vehicle as my husband’s mother. I am really working on my husband to decide to take our own vehicle. A couple of weekends ago we did a short day trip with the in-laws. We went to Maine. The Monster seemed to handle herself fairly well, she did get very bored towards the end and got a little cranky, but I am sure that was cause she really didn’t sleep in the car, maybe 45 min. It was a 2 hours drive to Maine, and the entire time, my crazy MIL seemed like she needed to discuss all the plans she has for Monster’s education. Wait a fucking minute here.. who is the parent? Me or you? “Well you, you hate school, you didn’t even consider college after high school.” Ummmm that is just what you assume, I did not grow up with money and the privileges that my husband had. So no I didn’t go to college, not cause I didn’t want to, because I could not afford it. “Well you didn’t try hard enough and look at you now, a blue collar worker.” Fuck YOU!!! Your son works in a factory, He has a job with his name on his shirt and he has a college degree. I suggest that we drop this subject really quick or it’s going to get really ugly.
ARGH!! She really knows how to make me feel worthless…
I’ve got nothing April 15, 2007
Nothing really exciting going on. Dealing with some family shit right now, be back asap…
