I feel as though I need to do this.
I know, I know bitching and venting aren't things people want to read but it feels like this is the only place I can turn to.
To begin, I think my job at BLD might be in danger. A few months ago I was written up for my inventory in the snack bar being off. In other words, they accused me of stealing Rockstars and Orange Juices. I was written up and put on probation which I only recently came off of, or so it seemed. Getting one day a week is kind of an insult otherwise.
I'm beginning to feel like one of my managers is trying to set me up again. Wait, wait wait, let me rephrase. If this happens to be the same person who set me up as it was last time, I will NOT stand for it. I'm calling HR all the way. Getting fired from a job is a bad thing, but its an absurd thing if its for something you didn't do. So that's one thing that's stressing me out.
The next is school. I'm about five hours into my third quarter and I'm already tired, that might be because all I've been drinking these last two days is water and black coffee, sometimes with ice, sometimes without. Needless to say, I didn't sleep much last night but whatever I don't like sleeping all that much, which all of you reading this should know. But the stressful thing is, my time management is going to be tested weekly this quarter; for my Art History class (remember this class JUST let out and its the only one I've been to thus far) our entire quarter follows our text book to a T, but the problem with that is -- don't read, can't do homework, fail tests, retake class, waste two grand.
"So just man-up and buy the book" you might say to me. Ha! I thought of that, and during our first break I did just that. Went to my favorite website, amazon.com and found an eight dollar copy, paid a total of twelve bucks. I was feeling great. But then my instructor says something along the lines of, "You can't use any other edition than the one right here." and shows me an edition I didn't buy. So I think to myself, fuck it, I'll contact the seller and just get the correct edition. Wrong, well not entirely.
I do the first part, contact the seller, still waiting for them to reply. But I searched the correct edition and the cheapest copy was over 180 bucks. Fuck that noise, not happening.
To make matters worse, I guess, there are only two copies in the school library and our homework needs to be read (about sixty pages a week) and typed up (on word). FML, I don't own a computer.
So basically, i calmed my white ass down and concluded: just show up Fridays and Wednesday mornings, when you don't have school and even stay a few hours after school (catching the last shuttle back to Riverside) in order to use the book AND the computer.
That computer issue also bleeds over into my Image Manipulation class. That's just a fancy way of saying "Photoshop class". So I'll be in the library A LOT this quarter, but I'm going to do it, wanna know why? Because I'd rather be stressing about things my last issue relates to than stressing about jobs like BLD and Music Mike's, not to imply that I dislike these classes but you all should know by now my dream is to do something artistic. So if busting my ass for four years riding buses and shuttles to and from school and work, riding bikes to these places, staying for longer than the classes are to stay caught up, to not eating as much, means I get to reach my goals of writing, making comic, making movies, making cartoons, making music then I'll gladly do these. But vent every once in a while.
So the last thing I'm stressing about, and honestly I'm stressing very little about this, is my comic. I've decided to start with Trapped in a Room, because at this point I'm still not as confident with my drawing abilities as I am with my writing abilities, and even those can be added to. I'm stuck on the fact that the antagonist of the story are the rooms, which means I won't let myself draw shitty looking rooms. I'm thinking of doing a style kind of like a manga called Biomega, but we'll see.
Oh, and one more thing. It had to be this way, Lights' new CD Siberia just came out today and I know I shouldn't buy it, but you all should know that I want to. ARGH! The stress!
Anyway, my friends. Wish me luck.
Love,
