OMGZ! Is it alive?!
Okay so it has been forever and a half since I last updated. It's extremely odd that I never can find the time to update this, yet alone get online. I really don't understand how people can work all the time and still find time to have a life. Because, I honestly can not find the time. I'm lucky to be able to get sleep and work.
Speaking of work. As everyone, (or some) knew I worked at The Garden Center at Wal-Mart. Well it was a seasonal job, and our manager Patty told us only a few of us would get to stay. Well, I ended up not being one, even I wanted to more then a lot of us. One had to stay because he transfered in, even tho he hates the department and Patty really didn't want to have to keep him. Another basically said they would leave if they didn't get to stay. And since they had been with Wal-Mart along time they got to stay. Another there was no doubt in my mind they would get to stay. Afterall, Patty always was 'surprised' at everything he could do. Mainly because unlike any of the others of us, she taught him everything.
Patty told me right after saying she couldn't keep me that they wanted to send me up front to be a cashier or a people greeter. She then told me she needed to know which I wanted to do right then. I said people greeter because I HATE running a register up front. Well, after she left I thought about it.. and decided I didn't want to be a people greeter for my hours and pay would be cut. So I wrote her a note saying how funny I found it that they offered me the two jobs in the store they know I HATE.. And how giving me about 5 seconds to decide between them was like a spat in the face. I then told her of all the shit I had to put up with, and how I worked my ass off and it never seemed like she noticed or cared. I told her she could fire me, but that I could no longer keep it all inside me. Since I had been forever for fear of not getting to stay back there.
Well needless to say, I didn't get fired. For Patty understood I was just upset. Patty then talked to higher up managers to find somewhere else for me to go that I would enjoy more. She told the General Side Co-Manager that I was about to be a college student and needed more money. He then went to the Grocery Co-Manager and worked his tail off to try getting me over there. So the asst Manager Jason bugged me nonstop for a few weeks about going to Deli. Said I'd make more money and get the same amount of hours.
So I headed to Deli and went up only 50 cents... which sucks because everyone in Deli makes more then me. =( But still it's more money. However, what pisses me off is, I was told before I decided to come over here that if I did I'd be full time still. I was even told in my job offer I would be full-time. They have me down as part time. I wasn't going to say anything, for I figured I'd keep getting 3 days off a week and it would be nice to be able to do school work. However, now they are screwing me over by just cutting off an hour or two off each day. Which I know from garden center is just as crappy as working the whole day. So I'm going to say something and hopefully get bumped up to full time.
Let's see, oh yes the 27th I start classes towards my web-design major. For this semester I'm taking online classes & only 4 of them. Including PreCalc, History of Rock & Roll, Speech & Intro to Business. Then come December I am moving to a different town to attend actual classes. I already hate pre-calc for it costs more then the others due to being more credits.. not to mention the book cost more then any except my business book.
In other news, I got a new phone. It's the same kind as my other, and not new, but new to me. I kind of forgot to take my phone out of my pocket when I went to the lake.. so it drowned.
This is all for now... sorry for the lack of updates & comments to everyones site!

Let me tell you about a site called CheaperthanHotels. Basically everyone has stayed in a hotel at least once in their life. Australia is a popular place to visit, but of course if a Australia visit is in your furture you're going to need a place to stay. Which is why CheaperthanHotels is a place you should check out.
Australia is a vast country with most of the population living within sight or an hour of the sea, even though it is the driest continent on the planet. It has over 7,000 beaches - more than any other nation. So you should find a hotel near to the beach or in the case of Sydney – the Harbour !!
At Cheaperthanhotels you can search for last minute deals as well as year long deals. There's 2-star Australia hotels such as Manly Guest House which as a last minute deal you can get a room from AUD 40. There are also a wide range of 5 star hotels. Such as Rendezvous Observation City Hotel Perth which is located in Perth, Scarborough Beach Rooms start at AUD 120.
All in all Cheaperthanhotels is a great place to find hotels in Australia. You can find some great ones at cheap rates. You can also find some great information about Australia and find information on how to get car rentals!
