SO TOMORROW BRINGS THE START OF ANOTHER 15 HOUR SCHOOL DAY. I TRY TO SCHEDULE SCHOOL ALL IN ONE DAY IN AN EFFORT TO BE CONSIDERATE TO MY EMPLOYER (OR IN THIS CASE, FUTURE EMPLOYER) WITH REGARDS TO SCHEDULING. UNFORTUNATELY, IT REALLY MAKES FOR AN EXTREMELY LONG DAY! I SPEND ALL DAY FROM 8AM UNTIL 11PM @ SCHOOL...AND BY THE END OF IT, I'M JUST NOT FEELING IT ANYMORE. IN ANY EVENT.... I'VE BEEN PRODUCTIVE THIS WEEKEND... LOGO DESIGN. CHECK. MAGAZINE TEMPLATE. CHECK. WEBPAGE. CHECK. ANIMAL DRAWINGS. CHECK. CHEERIOS ON THE GO ADS. CHECK. --- SERIOUSLY, DO I NEED ANYMORE HOMEWORK?
LAUREL THINKS I'M IGNORING HER... I'M INCLINED TO AGREE. ADDED TO THAT, IT'S NOW A LITTLE OVER A WEEK SINCE I'VE ALLOWED HER TO SEE MY DAD OR VISIT @ MY PARENTS' HOUSE. IT'S HARD. IT'S PERSONAL...THE REASONS WHY, BUT THE NOT ALLOWING HER TO BE IN THAT TYPE OF ENVIRONMENT IS IMPORTANT. SO I JUST NEED TO KEEP MY BACKBONE, DESPITE MY LONGING TO SEE MY DAUGHTER HAVE A GOOD RELATIONSHIP WITH HER GRANDPARENTS. THERE ARE JUST SOME INFLUENCES I CANNOT ALLOW. THAT BEING SAID, I'M NOW IN THE EVER MADDENING SEARCH FOR A GOOD NIGHT-TIME SITTER. I *THINK* I GOT THE JOB WITH HILTON, CAN'T SAY I'M POSITIVE... IT WENT SOMETHING LIKE THIS: "WELL AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED, YOU'RE IN THE HIRING PROCESS. YOU SHOULD HEAR FROM US IN ABOUT 3 WEEKS."

"DOES THAT MEAN I GOT THE JOB?"
I FEEL LIKE I'VE DONE MYSELF A DISSERVICE IN APPLYING FOR JOBS RECENTLY.. I WORK HARD OVER THE YEARS TO DO A GOOD JOB, GET RECOGNIZED FOR MY EFFORTS, STRIVING TO SUCCEED AND BE SUCCESSFUL AT WHATEVER TASKS I TAKE ON...AND NOW, I'M DUMBING DOWN MY RESUME. IT NO LONGER SAYS SUPERVISOR...JUST CASHIER OR SERVER. I TOOK MY SCHOOLING OFF. I STOPPED LISTING MY PROFICIENCIES... IT SEEMS LIKE MY SKILLS ARE NOW COUNTING AGAINST ME, SO I AM GOING TO CONTINUE TO PUT MYSELF OUT THERE AS UNEDUCATED AND UNSKILLED AND SEE IF IT GETS ME ANYWHERE. SINCE DOING THIS I'VE ALREADY HAD 4 INTERVIEWS, WHERE MY LAST RESUME GATHERED NONE...FIGURE THAT OUT.
ENOUGH RANTING AND WHINING FOR THE DAY. I FEEL ACCOMPLISHED! I'M GOING TO WATCH A MOVIE WITH MY LITTLE LAUREL AND THEN ON WEDNESDAY, I'LL HEAD ON OVER TO THE FOX AND HOUND AND THROW A LITTLE DARTS! WOOT! MAYBE I'LL THROW BETTER THIS WEEK THAN LAST. BTW, IF YOU DIDN'T KNOW, THE FOX AND HOUND IS WHERE IT'S AT! GREAT PEOPLE, COLD BEERS, EXCELLENT FRIES :D ... AND DID I MENTION THE GREAT PEOPLE?!
