Hehe.

I just don't think I could be doing that kind of work for a living without it spilling into my personal life.

Be a nice change for me, currently it is my personal life so it would be nice to have it spill in to work

oh and it snowed massively here today, I am offically ready for it to be time to go on my cruise

I considered going into social work...I think it would be incredibly rewarding.

I just don't think I could be doing that kind of work for a living without it spilling into my personal life. :-\


On another note, I think my mom is dragging me to the boat today. Sarah's going off with her friends...again...so I'm stuck keeping my mom company while she goes to the boat.

Nevermind the fact that I have a women and politics exam (that will likely be 50% of my final grade) tomorrow that I need to study for...

But do you enjoy it, and do you have the temperament to do it as a job?

yeah I've been shown to be good at it (hell all my friends and even people I barely know come to little ole'me for advice, help and venting)
and I really do enjoy helping people

But do you enjoy it, and do you have the temperament to do it as a job? It'll pretty much be thinking about it nonstop.

So my mom is encouraging me to get a degree in social work and I think I agree with her, I'm really good at counseling and the like (as my personal life has shown me, repeatedly) but I really want to teach history too...

hmmm... double major perhaps?

Good for you Meg! I hear Disney is supposedly to be a brilliant company to work for. Plus, its Disney. I mean Disney is pretty amazing. I've been considering doing a summer internship at the parks in Florida. I hear its a great thing, my best friend's sister did it last year.

My fingers are crossed too.

I have a job interview for next Saturday morning.

The Disney Store called me about my application. At first I told them I already had another job this holiday. After I was off the phone with them, my mom was like "you should have taken the interview, haven't you been saying how much you want to quit your job at Bath and Body Works?" So then I called them back and I talked to the store manager about their store a little bit, and how they conducted their on-calls...she thought it was terrible how I was on call 5 days next week, and of course she would love to still give me an interview. She was doing group interviews, all three sessions of which interfered with either school or my ONE shift for BBW next week, and she said she had no problem setting up a one-on-one interview with me around my BBW schedule.

*fingers crossed*

SO, where them to work. Its Halloween. Just take them off if you are asked to. And You have the time you're not working. Or even do a pre or post Halloween costume party.

Yeah... I stock shelves and wings would get in the way. I'm also not one for parties. Never liked socializing. Will do pumpkins, though. I have to find a design.

Tonight I went to my friend's volleyball game. She goes to school in New York, but was playing at a nearby University. It was nice to see her, but it was also a pretty scary night. Her nephew, Ben, is the little boy I babysat last Saturday night; he's a year old. I found out today that he had a seizure Tuesday morning (likely as a result of a case of pneumonia he had...apparently, it's relatively common among infants) and when they took him to see a doctor, they found something wrong with his heart. They transfered him to the University of Michigan Children's hospital today and an MRI concluded that he has a tumor on his heart. He's still so small, and it just breaks my heart.

If you are the praying kind, please keep him and his family in your prayers.

I was going to buy wings for halloween, but then I learned that I worked that night so it wasn't really worth it. But yes, wings... Ahem.

So long story short: My laptop hinges busted, so now that I'm at home for a few days, it's being sent in. My PC is acting up because it's a twice hand me down, so I'm currently on my parent's PC. Depending on how fast the newly boughten family laptop gets set up (My brother, also in college, is having computer issues as well), I may or may not be on frequently for a couple days, and not on AIM.

That is all.

It rained here for the first time in something like 6 weeks.... I miss the rain

I like that one with wings.

I think I'm going to do a few more like that, however I'm limited because the wings I have only work in a standing postion...

be cool to make it look like I was flying though

Ha, sweet. I like that one with wings. (I'm a sucker for wings, can you tell?)

It was raining last night. In gusts. I love this season.

So can I kill Christmas yet?

I love Christmas...but with my new job, I'm liking it less and less. We started holiday hours...

So my availability for work is MWF after school and Sat and Sun all day.

My schedule for next week is on call Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday afternoon...I'm actually scheduled for five hours on Saturday morning. I'm scheduled for 5 and on call for 15...is that ridiculous or what?!
