I had high hopes that today would be a good day and I don’t know why I get my hopes up because inevitably they get dashed. This afternoon I had an interview for a weekend administrative assistant position that I was excited about because I thought it would be a good exit strategy from my present work as a security guard. While the interview itself went reasonably well, I’m a betting man and I don’t think the odds are in my favor on this one. There are going to be concerns about my qualifications on this one. Either way, I’m going to hear back in a week.
I’m really feeling salty about my current job situation. My boss wanted me to work at Wilmington Housing Authority tomorrow and I’m just not doing it. I flat out told him no thanks. I know he wasn’t happy but I’m not working at that shit hole. I don’t want to set a precedent that I’m willing to bend over backwards. I was really angry over how my boss tried to short my pay by a dollar an hour. I had to catch it and argue it. At first he wasn’t going to do anything. It took an explicit threat for me to go to the Department of Labor for him to quickly make the correction. I hate crooks.
I’m sure the heat isn’t helping any but I’m trying to look on the bright side of things. The bright side being grad school starting in only 30 days. Patience has never really been my strong suit. The Department of Vocational Rehabilitation ordered a brand new Dell laptop for me to use for school. This really made me happy as I would have been perfectly okay with a used one. I would’ve been grateful for anything given to me.
This weekend is going to be really too hot to do anything except stay in the air conditioning. I don’t even want to spend any time in my office because the A/C doesn’t reach that room. I’m just watching the local news and generally wasting time. I’m fine with this.
I’m thinking I’d really like to have an early to bed night. I worked 4 straight days of second shift and clearly I’m not used to this. My biorhythms are somewhat thrown off. No doubt that has contributed to my overall agitation. Hopefully my therapy session this afternoon will relax me some.
