Finally a full-time job.

I work at the Homestead Assisted living center in Rexburg, Idaho. I work the graveyard shift alone in building 2. That's safe. Don't worry about a thing. I don't get a differential and I make minimum wage. I will be staying for at least 6 months at which time I'll receive a raise. I don't wipe many bums. I mainly cook and clean for ten hours straight. When I do have human contact it's usually one of the residents insulting me. One said, "You are heavy." Another said, "Walking a mile every day will do you good." Yes! Even the people who's tushes I have to wipe insult me.

Obviously I got enough beef that I didn't go to hair school. (Easier to blame everyone else than admit I never really wanted to go in the first place because it was Riley's dream and not my own.) Too much debt and I'd rather just move out. I NEED to move out. It's almost an emergency.

I need more electronics to make me happy. Let's face it, when people say money can't buy happiness, they're lying. Ask anyone with a really expensive phone and computer. They're so happy, it's not fair.

On another note, I have an addiction to craigslist. Not buying or selling things, but reading and responding to personal ads. I may or may not be done with posting ads... but there's something mysterious about responding to the unknown (knappy) craigslist man. Anyway, the usual.

Paul Mitchell Hair Academy: A partner school

Ladies and gentlemen I am starting hair school. Obviously, I hated college. Oh and p.s. I withdrew from one class and got an "f" in the other class. Right now it's just not my thing. So, I'm going to Paul Mitchell in Rexburg on February 17th. The question everyone is now asking me is: Are you passionate about doing hair? I have no idea. But I'm going into 14,000 dollars worth of debt so in some way, yes, I'm "passionate". I need 500 bucks by the first day. No loans or anything. How am I going to do that? No idea. So tight. Anyway, I'm going to be in school getting other people's hair caught in my mouth for 18 months. I sincerely hope my severe debt is worth this risk. Anyway, my life is still, The Usual.
