::News--Version 2.01::
I think I'll skip the numbered format this time. I've been making alot of changes in my life that I hope will stick.
I got a membership to a gym, and hopefully am on my way to a better me ^___^ I've started some yoga classes O_o
I never realized how tough it is...or how many positions the human body can twist into.
I've only been to three classes, but I am starting to feel better, and each time I go, I can do more.
I've also gone back to the no coke and no red meat diet. (and by diet I don't mean I'll do it for a week and then go back to old habits once I'm done--I mean changing my entire eating habits and removing those unwanted elements completely) So far, I've gone about 1 1/2 weeks. Go me!
Finally, I've commited to quitting smoking (Again...and don't roll your eyes like that dammit!! I'm going to do it this time *grrrs*)
It's been about a week and a half as well on the cigarettes, and I haven't really craved one. The few times I have, I've just gone to the gym. (good thing it's open 24 hours! ^_^)
I will try to mark my progress here for the 2 people that actually read this on occasion O_o
So other than trying to better myself, I've just been working....alot...at least it seems like alot. Home Depot seems like it takes more of my time than Old Navy, even though I only work 40 hours. I feel like I can't get away from there sometimes. I'm getting really burnt out at the service desk. I can see why there is such a turnover rate there...it's quite possibly the hardest job in the store aside from management. When you consider that the grand vast majority of those employed there couldn't work the desk for 5 minutes much less 8 hours a day... O_o Hell, most of the managers can't do what I do. It makes me feel that much better too to find out that new cashiers (part-time) are making more than I'm making after my review last month. So now I am faced with a problem...
Should I go talk to the HR or store manager and demand (request) more money? Or should I leave it alone and hope I get a promotion sometime this decade? I just don't see it happening anytime soon. *sighs*
Anyway, it's late, and I just felt like ranting. At least I have a nice 3 day weekend ahead of me. I get to sleep in tomorrow! ^_______^
