So, I haven't made a public announcement, but I got a job T H R E E weeks ago. I've been gainfully employed for just over 3 weeks ago. I love working. I love having a job. I love being able to buy the stupid things like toothpaste and shampoo, because really? Since I can buy the stupid silly things that people need to function, means that I can start saving, pay tithing, go grocery shopping. Also, since I work for a certain Church funded company, I also get to go to school. For free. Then, after I'm done doing the program that I've been interested in, since forever, I get to go to Weber and finish my bachelor's degree the debt free way. Awesome, right? It is. It's also a lot of work because since the Church is all about self-reliance and what not, I have to do the work all myself which means that I have to find the motivation to go to 2 night classes a week to get to the point where I can finish my bachelor's without going into more debt.
But you know what? A debt free education sounds A LOT more awesome than having to endure just a few months of discomfort. Discomfort = no more 9 hours of sleep, not a lot of internet playing (which has already been cut back considerably), a little less time with my kid brother. The lack of sleep is going to really kick me in the caboose because, let's face be honest here, I like - nay, LOVE - to sleep. But, unfortunately or fortunately (however way you look at it), it is what it is. I like that saying nowadays. It is what it is. You can change it or not. Whatever way you look it, it's just going to be.
Anyway, in the 3 weeks I've been working, there has been SO much drama. I swear, I knew about people's problems and family situations in the first week I was there. I try to steer clear of any and all gossip and drama. In a sense, keep my nose clean. It's just easier that way. If I do hear gossip, it pretty much ends at me. Life is about a thousand times easier to keep out of the gossip and drama at the workplace. Even in regular life. Do I need to know who likes who or who hates who? Nope. I don't care. Plain and simple.
Well, life is good. No major complaints here. Still doing my personal lent. I have less than 10 days left and let me tell you, major blessings have occurred. Really.
