jianantonicInteresting day yesterday.
We had a very odd discussion in my contemporary philosophy class. It started off with a tangent about the pledge of allegiance. I made a comment to the effect of "Why are we worried about two little words so much, while Joe McCarthy's been dead over thirty years and five year olds are being put in time out for not faithfully chanting this oath?" To which a lot of people gasped and one person said, "It's not about brainwashing, it's about respect." Hmm. I have lots to say about this but I don't have a lot of time, so use your imaginations. You know how I feel.
I had a job interview for the Massanutten Front Desk yesterday. Basically I applied when I thought I would quit ADF (I still think I will...eventually...), but when I found out I could work just one Sunday shift each week, it still appealed to me so I went in. The manager greeted me, looked over my application, made a few comments (not questions, mind you) and said to me that I'd definitely be a great addition to the team and she'd like to hire me immediately. So that's good. For now it's just going to be about another $50 a week to pay some bills, but if I end up quitting ADF...who knows...it'll be my fallback. Sigh.
I still want to quit ADF, but I also really don't...it's hard. I just don't feel like anyone there likes me, except Matt, Jay, Randy, and Cheri...basically the sales staff are the people I'm having trouble with, and Colleen...Colleen left our wedding early because she said she had a really bad migraine. I've never had one, but isn't that something that develops gradually and that you can definitely feel setting in? That's what others have told me. I think she just didn't want to be there. Oh well, I'm kinda glad she wasn't, you know? Anyhow, I'm just not happy there. But would I be happy NOT working there? Eh. We'll see. If I ever get up the guts to walk out...bleh. It will be very difficult for me to quit. I need to trust that Jeremy can provide for me if I'm out of work. Or I need Quixtar to pick me up...which means I need to work more on that. We'll see. Anyhow, I've got to go to work.
Peace.
