A new space

Tomorrow is my birthday!  I have off of work tomorrow which is great, and then Thursday is my last day.  That’s just crazy.  I’ve been working there for almost six years.
The past two months have been pretty boring for me.  I’ve slept in late mostly every day.  I’ve worked less than 8 hours a day [...]

Maker or Breaker

The anxiety of the move is starting to come. Most of the time, I am very excited about my move to Des Moines to be with Zach and to work and live. There is a dream job there for me right now that I think I have a really good chance of getting. [...]

Batty

I did something terrible today. Not so terrible in some people’s eyes, but I sure feel like a bad person.

Whew! I feel better. . .

I’ve worked at the same place since I was 16. I was a cashier for three years and have been working in customer service for the past two years. It’s worn me down. It’s really not a hard job, but I just don’t want to do it anymore.
I’m tired of dealing with untrustworthy, manipulative customers. [...]

Good news on the job front

The photo editor at the Des Moines Register HASN’T been ignoring me!! Yay!!
In case you don’t know: it all started when I got back from Poynter in July. Meltdown major. I didn’t have a job and I didn’t even know how to find a job that I wanted. So I wrote a huge e-mail to [...]

Lion’s eyes

Today I had off work so I decided to go the mall. I haven’t been shopping or to the mall in more than two months because I’ve been broke. And although I am still broke, I needed more face wash. I use Clinique. If you don’t know, it’s a line of make up and face [...]
