Work Day Job @ MindSay 
busy work day
So I gave sickness a few days took some meds and went to work. Its been in the 60's, 70's all week and it doesnt help when you work in a small store. Its about 15 degrees hotter inside than out. I finally have a day off today thinking about sleeping for a little bit before my workout. I am working on getting a second job but there really arent to many jobs out there for me. either I am over qualifed or under qualifed either way I dont get the job. I got paid friday but gave my check to my mother to put in my account well she ended up putting it in my account alright for about two hours before she had it transfered to her account. I really needed the money to get my truck out of the impound lot but its all gone now and all she can say is you told me you would help me with my rent. well I told her that I said she could use 250 of the money and but the rest in my account turns out she doesnt listen to well. now im back at square one. Im not to sure what to do now hmmm.

The March employment numbers, out this morning, are bleak: 8.5 percent of Americans officially unemployed, 663,000 more jobs lost. But if you include people who are out of work and have given up trying to find a job, the real unemployment rate is 9 percent. And if you include people working part time who'd rather be working full time, it's now up to 15.6 percent. One in every six workers in America is now either unemployed or underemployed.
Every lost job has a multiplier effect throughout the economy. For every person who no longer has a job and can't find another, or is trying to enter the job market and can't find one, there are at least three job holders who become more anxious that they may lose their job. Almost every American right now is within two degrees of separation of someone who is out of work. This broader anxiety expresses itself as less willingness to spend money on anything other than necessities. And this reluctance to spend further contracts the economy, leading to more job losses.
Capital markets may or may not unfreeze under the combined heat of the Treasury and the Fed, but what happens to Wall Street is becoming less and less relevant to Main Street. Anxious Americans will not borrow even if credit is available to them. And ever fewer Americans are good credit risks anyway.
All this means that the real economy will need a larger stimulus than the $787 billion already enacted. To be sure, only a small fraction of the $787 billion has been turned into new jobs so far. The money is still moving out the door. But today's bleak jobs report shows that the economy is so far below its productive capacity that much more money will be needed.
This is still not the Great Depression of the 1930s, but it is a Depression. And the only way out is government spending on a very large scale. We should stop worrying about Wall Street. Worry about American workers. Use money to build up Main Street, and the future capacities of our workforce.
Energy independence and a non-carbon economy should be the equivalent of a war mobilization. Hire Americans to weatherize and insulate homes across the land. Don't encourage General Motors or any other auto company to shrink. Use the auto makers' spare capacity to make busses, new wind turbines, and electric cars (why let the Chinese best us on this?). Enlarge public transit systems.
Meanwhile, extend our educational infrastructure. So many young people are out of work that they should be using this time to improve their skills and capacities. Expand community colleges. Enlarge Pell Grants. Extend job-training opportunities to the unemployed, so they can learn new skills while they're collecting unemployment benefits.
Finally, accelerate universal health care.
Still so hot here it feels like a sauna. I'm not doing much except house work and my part time job, which i love.
Still looking for a gf, Sam isn't going to work out she is just from a different generation, delicious in bed i have to admit, but we enjoy doing different things. She will remain a friend, maybe a fb if hubby is ok with it (he is ok with lori why not another ..lol).
My son is coming home next month YAY!!!!!!!!
I need a change in scenery or something to make me squeal .... something to excite me.
I've read 4 books in the last 3 weeks.
i think i need to see lori .... i really need another gf ....i said that already.
nothing new otherwise .... i am so boring!!!
hugs everyone!
So to update all of you readers... I am engaged and pregnant.
yay right?
actually I'm very happy about my news, but at the same time very saddened.
There are way too many things that have come up and not very many have been good ones.
the big question is "when are we getting married"
we both agreed on 2010. its best that way so at least our child by then will be old enough to be left alone (as in with a baby sitter) while we take an appropriate honeymoon.
but!!! now the question is what date. i've asked about 3 times. and finally had my mouth shut when he said he's not ready to set a date.
and that is not important to him to set a date right now.
i say this to all men out there. if you're not ready to set a date. then why get engaged? do you not know that a wedding and pregnancy are 2 of the most important things in a woman's life? i mean i have waited my whole life to get married and enaged. to only have it feel like a half assed commitment.
some words that hurt about this day were the words "i dont want to be a statistic." the others were "its not important to ME to set a date right now"
ok
so there goes that. i will not mention the infamous wedding anymore. i will tak about the pregnancy and how much i need you there with me right now.
another major reason why we are both working on getting him a new job. something that wont require him to work nights or weekends. like he does now. so i wont be home alone anymore like i have been for a year and half. and even more so now that i will be showing soon, and things are going to start to get a little harder for me to do from now on. but yet... he wants to take on a second job... club promoting. (which is not a family man's job) he says the money will be good it will help us out. and its "one night a week" (yeah for now). and he'll be out all NIGHT LONG AT A CLUB while his preggers fiancee is at home waiting on him.
is it me? or is that wrong? how fair and decent does that sound to you. i mean really. i'm blowing up like a balloon by the second and you want to be out at a club all night "promoting" b/c you think its good money?
why not work harder to get a BETTER DAY JOB so you can be there when i need you most?
is that irrational?
is that selfish?
he says he wants to be there for me and the baby. so how is making a few extra cash a night going to help IF YOU'RE NOT GOING TO BE THERE WHEN IT MATTERS MOST? the whole point of getting a new job for him and finding one, is b/c we want "normal" hours. he wants normal hours.
and now he wants to work at a club?
i've done club promoting for a long long time. and i know very well how the business works. and nothing good will come out of this, his pockets will be a little more full, as well as his schedule, which means less time at home, and less time to be there like he says he WANTS TO BE.
i'm tired. i'm frustrated. i'm recovering from bronchitis. and i'm down right out of patience. i'm running on the pure adrenaline of love... which this baby is giving me. daddy puts ideas in his head that make sense to him, and b/c mommy doesnt agree and opens her mouth to say so. its going to be a fight. and then mommy is the bitch for saying something and then it never fails for him to say "its always your way"
um hello?!
am i the only one seeing that this is not about me and this is about us? about our future? and the fact that yes i do need him there but wouldnt you want to be there especially at night if something happens or needs to be done for the baby? or for the person carrying the child that will need assistance? its enough that i will be back in school and working and to add to my ball of stress i will be living under his parents roof for the next 6 months for him. and for us to "save money for our home." and meanwhile. the one making the sacrifice hear is the one who needs to be comfortable but wont be.. BC ITS NOT MY HOME. how hard is it for people to understand that. ITS NOT MY HOME. NO ES MI CASA. its not my comfort zone. and i hate it. i hate the idea. i've hated it since day one. and again. i support his decision. and again i'm making the sacrifice for him. ugh.
someone throw me some ice cream or something to mellow me out. my eyes are full of tears and i think its best i just stop talking and just go on with it day by day till it falls to shambles b/c i can't say anything w/o it me being "negative" or "controlling." i want what is best for us ... and after a year and half what is best for us is to together and there with each other. not apart and lonely waiting up till the wee hrs of the night for the other to come home buzzed or drunk after a night out in a club.
oo its so fun looking for a job, not. Then theres writing a CV thats a load of bullshit well mines just practicly lies. I filled in a form to work in Build a Bear Workshop at meadowhall, haha it will be the best ever -.-.
i have to get a job because i do 3 days of college a week, so my parents think thats a perfect oppertunity to get a job, when its not. Its not like im doing all that good a college anyway :| so more work wont make it any better really.
