Stuff and Things in Current Events

I have the metacognitive skills to recognize when my mindset is shifting to the one I am trying to restructure. I know that I can be weak when it comes to my vices but I’ve let go of more vices than most so I know that I can win. I am catching myself trying to self-sabotage whenever I see a thirst trap, however. So far, so good.

My roommate came home yesterday from her six weeks of house-sitting. I missed her and the feeling was mutual. It’s nice to have her back. She is going to take me to that thermal spa as my birthday gift.

Alex, Bruce and I are going to her boxing gym for a class that my roommate is leading. I’m finally going to her boxing gym, she’s very excited about it. I am too.

My Hearthbook came in today. I’m so excited about it.

I had my first class after winter break today. I was feeling a little nervous because I wasn’t able to hand in all of the assignments and labs. I needed her help, which she helped me with. We picked up where we left off and even finished our final unit, organic chemistry. It’s far easier than stoichometry. We have our test for it next Tuesday and then our exam the following Tuesday.

Ever just notice how permanently clenched your ass is? lol ugh, out of nowhere I became conscious of it and now I’m consciously trying to relax. I’m uptight, shocking not shocking. When I really focus on the area, it hurts from the constant tension.

Tomorrow I have to bring in my resume because my boss needs me to apply for the permanent part-time position formally. They better not try to pull a fast one and cut me down to part-time prematurely. My term is up next month. I don’t know what my hours will look like and I hate that. Staffing her team has been a constant problem for her. People quit because of her or transfer to the store. After me, she’s only managed to get one hire to stick. Now he’s abruptly going to India for half a year. (We know that’s a flight risk, I said what I said). Somebody she hired didn’t even last two training shifts last week. We have a new guy that started yesterday, he might last. I think I will get sufficient hours. It’s more than the 4 hours a week that was waiting for me at the other location.

I was called into a meeting today. The ASM is cross training me in something to groom me for her role. I’m just going with it. People from my original location were at this meeting. We got to gossip. They want to transfer to my location. It’s more relaxed.

Anyway, off to bed now I suppose.
