So What Wednesday

I'm trying to post late again! It's still Wednesday here though so I am gonna get this post done.

This week I am saying So What if:

• I put in my two weeks at work on Sunday. They were stressing me out and I will be perfectly fine without them.
• I ate half of a chicken alfredo pizza from work tonight. I was hungry and it was delicious.
• My sleep schedule has been up and down all week. I have no idea what my normal sleep time is but I'll be catching up on sleep this weekend hopefully.
• I have 4 days off and 3 of them are devoted to helping with stuff involving a friend's wedding. That's what friends are for!
• I still have nothing to wear to said friend's wedding on Saturday. Maybe I'll talk the hubby into letting me spend a few bucks.
• My house is a mess and we're having people over tomorrow. I'll get it clean before then.

That's really all I feel like saying So What to this week. What are yours?

(Link up over here!)

*Edit* Also, I just wanted to add that I think people we're having a rough work week this time around and we're celebrating their hump day for sure. I have never sold so much wine at work. Yay Wednesdays?

Monday Madness

So I finally feel more free since I put in my two weeks. I have no idea where I am headed but I know it has got to be better than where I am now. I am so not stressed about going to work. It's freeing.

Things were really easy when I let the GM know that I was leaving. She didn't even react really bad. Tried to convince me to stay and was real nice. I almost fell for it before I realized that this was the exception, not the rule. If she was always this way I wouldn't be leaving in the first place.

I'm gonna have to go on the job hunt hardcore but I am prepared to do that. In fact, I finished up my hw for this week already so now it's just about getting things done. Wish me luck!

Crappy Sundays?

I have completely swapped moods since my last post. I was in such a great mood Thursday. I was still in a good mood Friday morning when I had to get up to go to work. All that changed when I got to work. I have never felt worse after a day of work, seriously. I was working a "double" which was in reality a straight-thru. That is not why I was upset since I had asked when I came in if I could just be switched because their scheduling was unusual. It was everything else about the day that upset me. I was yelled at by too many members of the staff than I could handle, for things I didn't do. Even the things that I did do couldn't REALLY be helped because I was getting yelled at for all the other things. I don't think I am a perfect person, but I think it was unreasonable to be treated so unfairly. This may sound childish in summary, but if I went into details I am sure more people would be on my side. The thing that topped the cake was having my GM mock me in front of others and imply that I can't do my job because one of the staff that was yelling earlier decide to complain about me to her. I almost walked out Friday, but I decided to be more adult about things. So here's me being an adult, I'm submitting my two weeks today. I have to work in less than an hour, as the opener, and I will be the only server on for a short while. I am not looking forward to doing this because I am sure it will be my GM in today and, as you might have picked up earlier, she hates me. I am not even sure if they will let me finish out my two weeks. It doesn't help that I called in yesterday, to which I was given a very snotty remark. If I wasn't sure before that I wanted to leave, calling in yesterday did the trick for me.
I know some people are going to think I am stupid for quitting right now. I'm finally in a good place financially and now I might be doing something to mess it all up, but I can't go on working in a place that treats their employees like crap. Maybe they don't do it to everyone, but I have never been treated this way in any job I have ever had and I won't let it start now. I am not second rate. I am usually a valued employee at my jobs and I don't want to sound cocky, but I work my ASS off and I AM good at my job. My customers like me, I don't go around messing everything up all the time, and I (usually) work well with all my coworkers. Maybe this is just me, but if that is the case then maybe I just don't belong at this job.
Well, I should probably finish getting ready. I am sure I will be posting later to inform everyone how things went. Part of me wishes I just walked out Friday. Damn responsibility. Get ready world, cause this girl is ready to rock you.

P.S. I never work Sunday mornings, but I switched shifts with a girl to do a favor for her. It really is an awkward day to quit but I'm not going to talk myself out of it. I can't wait to get back home and get some sleep though!

Thursdays are always my favorite days.

Today I took my first official step towards becoming a mommy at some point in the future here. I went to the OB/GYN for my yearly visit and also talked to my doctor about what things I should start doing and what things I should stop. Thankfully she says I am pretty healthy and that I should really just work on what I'm eating etc. If we're going to approach this I want to make all the right stops along the way and I think making a doctors visit was the best place to go.

I'm so excited we're getting our tax return this weekend. It is going to make so many things easier. It will help me with the whole eating better thing because I'll be better able to plan some good meals etc. I also can pay back my parents the money we borrowed last year (that never got paid back due to paying for wedding stuff) and feel like an official adult. It's really hard for me to feel grown up when I'm still depending on my parents to help me out financially. Sam is getting another promotion at work which will make things drastically easier. He'll be getting a raise and working more hours.

I'm still working at my job, picked up a few hours this week unwillingly. It's spring break so those of us who stayed in town had to pick up the slack for those who didn't. I hate working mornings and I am definitely looking forward to going back to my all nights schedule. I've never been so off on sleep and so tired as I have this week. It's nuts, but we do what we have to.

Anyway, I was just really excited to post that I'm making progress in my life and that we're no longer just talking about things. The doctor told me she hopes to see me back in 6 months.

Happy Thursday!

So What Wednesday!

So this is a little late (it's officially Thursday now) but I still want to post. I was cleaning and working all day instead of posting so I think that's acceptable. ;)

So What If:

• I got really irritated at work and threw a fit. They know it's not my usual and will forgive me for it. 
• I am really bad about cleaning out my fridge. I did so this week and found some gross stuff. Still, it's not just MY fridge so I can't be the only one to blame.
• I really am addicted to caffeine. I cut back the energy drinks now, but I'm still working on cutting back the soda. 
• I ate at work multiple times this week. It was delicious, easy, and FREE on one day.
• I really like making lists (and also checking things off those lists!). I made a checklist for cleaning today and instead of just writing to clean the kitchen, I wrote out the individual tasks. That way I got to check off things more often and felt like I was accomplishing something!
• I am really in Spring Cleaning mode. I am washing the cabinets, the windows, the curtains, and everything else you can think of. I am halfway done but I have tomorrow off so it will be a busy day.

You can't tell I'm thinking about cleaning can you?

Not so happy st. patty's.

I'm not even sure how to approach this, but I really need to just write something down about it. I lost two cousins this week, one from each of my parents' sides. Both were way too young to die and took everyone off guard.

The first, as bad as it may sound, was not as hard for me. I didn't know the cousin. He was more distant in the family; I believe he was my dad's cousin's son. Still, he was close to my age and died unexpectedly. It's both sad and scary for me.

The second was a more immediate family member. She was a first cousin and, while a bit older than me, still very young. She had an immune disorder and something flared up. Her heart stopped. I actually knew her, spent time with her, and met her daughter. It's really strange to know that she's gone.

I found out about both these deaths in approximately a 24hour period. I felt bad for a few hours because I just couldn't process it and I didn't cry. I felt I should have been crying and it was eating me up inside. As much as it sucks, I am glad that I finally did cry. There was definitely some grief that needed to be expressed and still needs to.

I'm debating making the trip up for the funeral of the second cousin. The wake for the first was yesterday and since I didn't know him as well I did not find out about the death until the day of. This is going to be a difficult couple of days while my family sorts everything out.

Everyone please be safe and don't take anyone for granted because you never know when they won't be there. Happy St. Patricks Day! So sorry to bog you down with such depressing news.

So What Wednesday

This week for SWW I am excited to include the icon created by fellow blogger Mrs. Dew.

Anyway...
This week I am saying So What if:

• I have never completely finished a video game I started playing. I am making an attempt with Dragon Age right now, but I have a good deal of time to go on it! (I bought Dragon Age 2 so I really have to finish the first one eventually.)
• I have no groceries in my fridge. It's not like I don't go to Walmart every night, but I never get around to actually planning a weekly meal list. 
• I'm having a huge issue with trying to cut back my caffeine. I am addicted to energy drinks so I've started drinking Ice Tea instead. I know it has caffeine but it's not the same at all.
• I've been sleeping a lot lately. I feel like I deserve it. I've had a lot of migraines and work has been crazy busy so sleep is the only relief!
• We got a beta fish and named it Sushi. It was the hubs idea but it makes me giggle.
• I really don't enjoy working Wednesdays. I have no idea why but they are not my favorite days. Thankfully I get Thursdays and Fridays off after it!

Those are my So What's for this week. What are yours?

Tired but not?

I'm currently HUGELY exhausted but for some reason can't fall asleep. I'm sure it's because I missed my window of tiredness and also that I slept for 10ish hours last night. I'm not sure why I am so tired but it seems to be the regular thing as of late. I cannot for the life of me get to where I feel rested enough. I am groggy when I wake up from sleeping and by the time that wears off I am back to being tired again. I'm honestly hoping that by writing this blog I will make myself sleepy and be able to crash again.

Today was a good day though. Like I mentioned before, I slept wonderfully last night. I baked cookies and Sam made stuffed peppers and Miranda came to town again. We all just hung out and had a generally good time. Nicole made an appearance and we made two separate trips to Wal-mart, so all in all a successful day. I am off again from work tomorrow so I am ecstatic! I don't even really have to do much cleaning so I am going to revel in the laziness.

This weekend is Fake St. Patty's day in town here which I am not excited about. It's going to be Mayhem! If it wasn't for the fact I have to work I probably wouldn't leave the house. People are ridiculous! Any excuse to drink to the point of alcohol poisoning!

Anyway. Time to try sleeping again. Night!

So What Wednesday

I'm a little late in posting this, but I've had a busy day with work and all. So here goes, better late than never!

SO WHAT if:

• A lot of times I don't go to bed until the rest of the people I know are waking up. I'm a night owl and I can't help it!
• I'm eating cheesecake right now even though I haven't had real food to eat for dinner. Cheesecake IS dinner.
• I'm not picking out anything to give up for lent. I honestly only really did it before because my parents and such were doing it, but since I'm not at home and I'm more agnostic than anything...it seems a little silly.
• I don't believe in dusting. I'll clean stuff off when I'm moving things or what not but there is generally dust on shelves around my house.

It's a short list this week but it's just because I've been super tired so I didn't have a whole lot to comment on from this week!

See you next Wednesday!

Just a quick update.

I've been a little absent these last few days just because we've been a little busy around here. On Thursday one of Sam's old friends came to visit and to meet me and she stayed the night etc. We all expected it to be a little interesting because she was his last girlfriend prior to me, but it actually turned out awesome. I think Sam is a little creeped out, but she and I got along really well and had a good time together. I'm honestly looking forward to the next time we can all hang out, hopefully sooner rather than later, because it was an entertaining night. (We both really enjoy picking on Sam.)

Friday night was fun too. Unfortunately, due to the festivities on Thursday, we slept most the day. Friday night though, we made enchilladas and hung out with friends. I love our weekend game night with the Petrin's (even though they still have a month til they are married, that's what they get to be called). Other people join us as well, but they are the central figures of the game nights. So far we have played Blurt, Apples to Apples, Trivial Pursuit, and Quarters together. Quarters was really more of a Mike, Sam and I thing while we waited for Melissa to get off work. It was fun though. The only weekend we didn't hang out for about the last two months was the week that I was sick. I was trying to keep from spreading my germs everywhere. (It was a seriously boring week without visitors.)

I worked today (or yesterday if you prefer since it is 7AM, despite the fact that I haven't gone to bed yet) and we had a training meeting in the morning, but it wasn't too bad of a day overall. I just failed on getting much sleep in. Practically fell asleep in the shower after I got off work (that's what I get for sitting down) and took a short nap while waiting for Sam to get off work. We did our usual trip to Walmart and continued our Scrubs marathon. We've watched the first 5 seasons now and have the rest of the seasons on our Netflix list.

Now, I'm headed off to bed. I wanted to pop in with a quick update but I do need to get a few hours of sleep before I work again tonight. Hopefully it won't be too bad since we have a lot of people staffed, very few doubles, it's a Sunday night, and I go in at 4:15PM. This makes it much less likely that I will be stuck there until close.

Until next time.

So What Wednesday

Taking after THIS fantastic blog again, I'm doing a So What Wednesday blog. (On a side note, I wish my blog design was as awesome as hers. Really need to work on that!)

Here we go, SO WHAT:

• If my house was trashed for a week and a half until I just cleaned it.
• If I worked a double and almost enjoyed it. (Seriously though, that's just sick.)
• If I'm getting my first birthday present next week even though my birthday is not until May. I WILL make my birthday spread across the whole year!
• If I LOVE taking classes on computer stuff even though I'm a business major.
• If we (the hubs and I) have already started wearing our St. Patty's Day shirts. (Mine says "Leprechauns made me do it!")
• If it's been weeks since I styled my hair really nice, but I will be doing it up nice this Thursday cause I get to meet an EX of the hubby's for the first time. I'm not jealous, but I'm gonna look my best still. Just because I can!
• If a clean kitchen can sometimes make me crazy happy. I'm a germ-a-phobe and I know it.

Those are my SO WHATs for the week. I'm sad I missed this last week but I was just not up to blogging. I'm so glad NOT to be sick anymore!!

Might blog again later!
