A blessing in disguise?

I got fired a little over a week ago. It was for a very silly reason. I got into an argument with a server on the floor. It was because he was talking shit about Dawn to her face. I asked him to leave, he refused and it escalated from there. It sucks not having a job right now. I really need money to pay bills and eat real food, but I am happy to be away from the evil management of The Seafood Restaurant! I'm in the midst of the job hunt right now and will (hopefully!) know more by the end of the day tomorrow. I'm not looking for my dream job (whatever that is). I just need something that pays me enough that I can pay my bills and I don't have to spend every waking hour there! One good thing is that I have time to read the paper every day, I'm getting caught up on all the TV I've missed and the dog is very happy to have me at home with him! I even gave the dog a bath today! He finally doesn't smell terrible! I'm bored and lonely and trying not to be a burden on my roommate (who is awesome!). I'm more relaxed than I've been in years. I want to be like this all the time! I haven't told my parents that I got fired, yet. My mom called me today and I didn't answer. I'm more embarrassed than anything. Tomorrow is another day!

Being a grownup sucks

I'm alive! I say this because I haven't posted anything in a long time. Nothing new and exciting is happening. Work is still work and it still sucks. My co-workers are great and my managers still suck-great-big-donkey-balls! I would like to find a new job, but it is almost impossible in this economy to do that. I still have a good schedule and make great money, but I get weary of putting up with all the corporate policies and the whimsical nature of my managers thought process. Today is a day off and I need to do some day off things, i.e., errands, laundry, catch up on reading, see a movie, stop and talk to some people at other restaurants. I already have spoken with my parents this week. My roommate is very busy with school, work and his gf. As of today, I am five months into my one year suspension on my driver's license. That makes life harder, especially with spotty public transportation, but I am getting through it well. Not being able to drive is another reason for not quitting my current job. I'm trying to get hired on at one of the other bars in the mall where I work, but it is taking a long time. I know the regional manager very well, so its just a matter of waiting for something to open up. Oh well, back to reading. I'll post more later.
