My new job

Today was my third day at TJ Maxx. I am so back and forth about whether I like it or not. I don't like it because it's retail and it's stressful and the hours suck and the pay pretty much sucks. BUT the hours are the same I would get in any retail job, the pay, too. It's stressful in possibly a good way. How? Well, it keep s me active. Extremely active. I think stress like this can actually be good for me. It's a responsibility. It keeps me thinking. Of course I have someone to answer to, but if it doesn't go right or if it doesn't get finished, I'm not going to be upset or get a bad grade or anything. The people I work with all seem really nice. I was scheduled to work this Friday (Halloween) from 5 to 10. I was upset because I wanted to take my kids out trick or treating. I asked this one girl if she would want to trade shifts so I could have that evening off. She agreed to do it right away.
They have contests with how many credit card applications you get. I won a can of diet Pepsi and a popcorn ball for talking with someone about a credit card when they brought it up to me. I wasn't pushing it or anything.
So, I hate it, but I like it. We'll see in the next few weeks as it gets more into the holiday season and people piss me off more.

Winter Semester!!

I currently have 69 credits, so I get to preregister for classes on Monday!! I only have 4 classes left that I'm required to take, but those 4 only equal 11 credits. To keep my financial aid, I have to take 1 more credit. So, I'm registering for 5 classes. The optional class I'm taking is Outlook. Seriously. It's a 1 credit class to learn about Outlook and email and calendar options of Outlook. Okay. Could I get an easier class? I don't think so!!

Too long

yeah. It's been entirely too long. I haven't had internet at home in over a month! Insanity. It has been corrected, though. I re-ordered DSL with AT+T over a week ago; close to two weeks. Every day they tell me that my DSL will be reconnected the next day. Every day, the same thing. So, I called Charter and had cable installed today that is FIVE TIMES FASTER for $10 less every month. I also got a wireless router so I can go anywhere in the house on my laptop while Todd uses the desktop in the bedroom or games online with the 360 or PS3 (or PSP, even). I am so happy I can't even describe. This whole time we've been without internet at home, I've spent hours of most days at the public library or at Todd's parents house with my laptop doing homework. It sucks because most of my work is actually online and inaccessible without an internet connection, so I was very limited in what I could get done at home. The one class that took up the most time, was an Economics class. It ended last weekend. It took up so much time because it was a condensed class; 14 week course completed in 7 weeks. I am SO glad it's over!
In other news, I got a job!! A sucky job, but a job nonetheless!! I start on Monday at TJ Maxx. I had basically swore I'd never do retail again, but I have bills to pay and kids to feed, so until something better comes along, it is what it is.
Luc has been acting up in school. His teacher has basically said he's not ready for kindergarten, but I can't put him back in preschool (by law) since he already turned 5.

More later...
