Morning, everyone!
I'm about to leave for work.. Last three days working in that hell hole! Yeeeeeehaw!
I go for orientation at my new job in the Curriculum Materials Library (for Education majors and children alike) next Thursday. I'm so excited! I get the rest of next week to get some things straightened out. My sister would be furious if she knew that I wasn't working up to the very last minute until I had to start my new job. She thinks I'm lazy but she makes everything difficult for herself. She refuses to go to school because she "wouldn't have time" while she's working at the restaurant.
She indulges in the most expensive entertainment and services, which leaves her barely getting by every month (she makes over $100 in tips alone every day!). She would rather have all these "luxuries" (expensive cable, expensive internet, expensive phone line, etc. etc.) than go to school and have a higher-paying job with less stress, less hours, and a sense of accomplishment. I want to go to school so that I can find a job that will enable me to see the world and learn some unknowable things. She does't care about that sort of thing any more, since she started working there.
It makes me sad but I can't feel sorry for her, knowing that she chooses to be where she's at. I got out, she can too. She has the ability to save hundreds of dollars a month that she could live on while she was going to school (not to mention schools loans/financial aid she could receive from the government). She won't ever get out of there because she can't see past comfort and contentment. I am not content with my situation. I'm not content with the world I live in. Therefore, I have no other choice but to change my circumstances.
I didn't intend on writing this long post, but there it is.. And here is what I looked like before I started thinking about it.

I'm glad that you found a new job so quickly! It'll be more rewarding, working at the library. You won't have to deal with as much b.s. either.
You look adorable in the pic, too.
