Another Week...

... has gone by.

I don't remember much about this week. I was out from work for one day, Thursday. I was running late and called to let them know that, and they told me that a lot of extra people coming in today and that if I came in that late, I would just be sent back. So I turned around and went to the bank to deposit my little check. This Monday I'm not getting one at all because of my missed week.

Oh... Besides yesterday, which I'm going to get to next, Wednesday was an interesting night. I fingered that it was time I paid on my/our cell bill. First I did a check to see how much I owed and I didn't believe it. Total amount owed was $260 something, and $156 was due that day. What? How? I called up and asked how come I called them up last month, paid $20 and that cleared the bill and even put $4 on credit. So where did all this come from? The cell phones are on a plan. I shouldn't be paying more than $80 a month.

Well it seems like my sister all by herself, spent over 760 minutes on the phone. Our plan covered only 700 minutes. I was looking at something like 40 mins just for me if that much. I have to call them up for an extension, then use my whole next pay check to pay off most of that first month that is owed. Oh, Jhodie doesn't have a job yet.
Now, as for Saturday, that began Friday afternoon. Someone called Jhodie and left a voice message saying that they had a job for her. She was told it was office work and came to give me the information. When she called back they said that she could come tomorrow at 9am or Monday sometime. I believe that it was after 5pm. So I called back to say that I wanted to come on Saturday and confirmed the address.

I went to bed early, I got there 20 minutes early, I sat in an iron chair for over 3 hours to find out that they lied, and that they recruit people to get them certified in something that you only get a 3 day course for. For that it's $99 and then to pay for the certificate that’s $49. Ya.

I was even less impressed when I stuck around for the meeting with other offices via phone to see what else was going on. I then talked with the person who called us up in the first place to find out that he didn't really talk to my brother like he told Jhodie and when I asked about getting a job like the one I my sister was told about over the phone, he no longer had any time to speak with me.

Talking about it now, makes it seems even more wrong than it did then.

I then ranted to myself and my sister over the phone of how I wasted my time and that she wasn't going to go come Monday. Because I was ranting with her and took a while to decide that I was going to take the bus instead of the train home and I missed the bus by 30 seconds. So I walked pass to the next bus stop and waited in the shade for the next bus. I was a very hot day.

I then transferred to another bus so it would take by the food coop market. You have to join to shop there and you only pay 20% than what the market did to get it. Also, by joining you have to work there for a total of 2 and 3/4 hours with in 4 weeks time. It's not bad. I went in to look around and get all the information that I just gave you, along with a general tour of the place. I will have to go on Wednesday to sign up.

Jhodie and I will go on Wednesday and then mom will go on day that she can and then one of use if not all of us will have to share Phillys' hours. It seems that all adults in the household have to work there for anyone to join. They figure that everyone will be eating the food, so everyone should help earn it.

Then as I start to walk out of the "store" the bus I was betting on catching drove past. Great. I have to wait 30 mins for the next one. I came out and hoped that the red light and passengers stopped it for me. Well new people did get on the bus, and a red light did stop it, but not long enough for me to reach it. I wore those brown healed shoes and my feet were already hurting me.

So I walked up to the stop and sat down. I looked down street and there is another one? Lucky!

*go easy on me. I've been reading a bunch of manga lately and even trying to write a fanfic of Inuyasha. That is where the rest of my week went. :)*

So I got on and the lady said that I was lucky. She was suppose to be ahead of the other bus, not behind. We chatted until it was time for me to get off. We passed the farmer's market up at Prospect Park. I told her about some stuff that she didn't know. She said that she was going to try and go there in two weeks or so when she had some time off. We even saw someone selling fish.

Today at work I got a full day of work in. Lucky me. I was able to score 3 surveys. I almost didn't think that it was going to be that good of a day. I left the house a bit later than I wanted, and I had to walk in a storm to and from the train stations. I was starving for most of the day, but like I said, I got a full day of work in and I dropped off Jhodie's resume at Dunkin Donuts and they seemed happy to get it.

I even had an interesting conversation with the monitors and some of the people who were left to pull in the last survey for the week. We would have been let out earlier if the system was working better. Everyone expected to have been finished since 8:30 but we didn't leave until minutes to 10.

Tonight I didn't fell like taking the bus home, so I took the subway all the way instead. I got home to some dinner. Mom had fried some fish and had some peas and rice as well as some corn on the cob to go with it.

Jhodie and Phillys were AWAL when I got home and mom was not happy about it. She had to take care of Nika. Not that she is hard to take of anymore. Just that she had to keep her awake so she could go to bed at a good time and not be up until 5am and then sleep most of the daylight hours away.

They just got home and mom is up again and getting ready for work.
And that catches you up.

I'll try not to take so long to write my next blog. See ya. :)
