Barrage of Sleep

Felt pretty good to hang out with the guys again! Aside from teh brat, nothing else was out of the ordinary for the worst.

All right, I have been officially terminated from CSS and I couldn't be relieved anymore. So, the deal was that I asked my "supervisor"... really the title doesn't suit any of them since they really do not do anything to help anyone, just tattle to the boss and we get a tongue lashing... really- I left that shit in Middle School... moving on, I asked him if we have Martin Luther King Day off... really, it was a justifiable question and he said he didn't know. I looked at the schedule and wanted to see if I was scheduled to work... well nothing was there meaning no updates anything. So I also mentioned to him that I have to be paid on Saturday so I could work. Seems simple enough, right?

Actually- there is more to it. I was planning to quit because the idea of working there at those early hours for little pay was bugging the hell out of me and I know the whole persona and moral fiber of working to earn a living-- yeah, if its a career... NOTHING else. This job was below me. I am not saying that because of pride but really- 9 an hour 50 cents over minimal, crazy hours, no union, protection nothing of the sort to begin with. It was just begging to be called by the LNI and IRS.

I was at the guys' place spending the night and when MLK hit... ew... that last sentence sounded bad... anyways when the holiday came around, they called my phone 6 times when my shift hit. I didn't pick up, I turned off my phone and went back to sleep. There was no way even if I had the money to get there to get home, dressed and ready for work. Besides, it was a holiday, screw going to work like that where the place we guard is closed... it seemed REALLY idiotic to me. So I went to an ATM and saw I Have about 275 bucks in there. Cool. After that, when I got home I handed my card to my mother, dazed and tired, she came back pretty quick and put my money on my bed in front of me. I wanted to show that I loved her and appreciate her patience, care and resources, so I handed her 120 out of it. Why? Its simple, I only wanted to get a job to help my parents out as well as learn to take care of myself. I do have a second paycheck coming in so I expect to have more moolah in my pocket!

Now I just have to return the uniform... to be continued.
