Antiwork

So I got paid this morning and paid my bills for the rest of the month. For the second time a payment to T-Mobile was duplicated. Instead of paying $100 I paid $200. Here's the thing I just shrugged my shoulder and said that was weird. I didn't freak out. I'm not in danger of an overdraft. I'm fine. On a side note I no longer work at Starbucks which is the reason I'm financially ok at the moment. I actually make enough money to live off without dealing with constant financial stress and juggling getting enough hours to pay my bills, while not getting too close to overtime so that my hours aren't cut by 2hrs to keep me from going 17 minutes into overtime. Yes that has happened to me at Starbucks. I also don't have to take home old sandwiches because I have to choose between gas…

Well, if any of you saw my previous post about returning to the office and said, “ha! there goes a fool!” I have wonderful splendid news for you…… After many a toiling day and fretless nights, with the possible response weighing heavy on my mind. I received word. It came in the middle of the night, via the company email. From the owners son…. His response was much more tempered and open ended than anticipated.(though I did not anticipate him responding) Gone were set dates and an open offer to negotiate were on the table for my return to the office. So no…… while the battle is not won and I'm sure there is much more aplenty discussion to be had. The tone has been plead to be mutually respectful. Which is a far cry from the settings of the opening salvo. Know that if you make your employer money…

As title says. I turn 23 next Tuesday and wanted that day and the day after off work (I'm a high school teacher, and yes I almost hate every second of it.) I told my boss that I would be visiting extended family and I'm waiting to hear back from him if I can take the days off. I hate that I, an adult, need someone else's permission to spend MY time in MY life how I want. I hate that somehow my job is supposed to come first and everything else comes second. But I'm also a very anxious person and I'm about to cry just waiting for an email back.
