Coldstone Creamery: Scoop It Up

Apparently if you’re too lazy to get a job but still want the thrill of scooping ice cream then mashing things into it, there’s hope for you yet. Wii makes a game called Coldstone Creamery: Scoop It Up.

 

Seriously?

So yeah, you can pay $20 to have this game and make virtual ice cream concoctions. Or you could get a job a Coldstone, work 3 hours, and have similar satisfaction plus $20 in your pocket.

I just don’t get it.

Lesson Learned

Ok so those super cute shoes I bought on Tuesday. The ones that were a half size too small but didn’t feel that tight. Yeah those. Those are going to be sold or given away.

I made the mistake of wearing these babies yesterday. It’s usually never fun breaking in a new pair of shoes, but add a busy day to that equation and you’re in for a mess. I worked 12 hours yesterday – recipe for a disaster. (more…)

A Little Consideration??

This post is going to be part invitation for discussion/opinions, and part rant. Here it goes:

Stress and Whatnot

Why is it that when I have to deal with something tedious and out of the ordinary, it’s never just one problem at a time? I’m going to go on a long rant here!

On 1/4, the first business day of 2010, I found several problems that needed to be tackled:

Better

OK this week is better. I’m not sure where I got this “second wind” but I’m not going to question it.

I’m more settled into this new job of mine, and I’m more caught up on things related to my unpaid gig. And the first job, well that’s smooth sailing as always. I love that job.

I truly hope this isn’t a fleeting thing that will go away next week, because this week is really good. I think I can manage if things stay this way. Who cares about long hours right now? I’m about to get my first “grownup” paycheck, I’ve found time to go to the gym, and I’ve even worked out a way to continue eating well (or at least eating less junk). Maybe the issue is recharging on the weekends. I can get on board with that :)

Employment!

Some of you already know I started my new job this week. But for those of you who don’t, yeah I recently went from being under-employed to over-employed.

I have 3 jobs.

We’ll call my original paid job “Job A”. My unpaid internship will be “Job B” and my new job will be “Job C”

I’m not sure what I was thinking, but I think I’m losing my mind. It’s been a week and I’m exhausted. I don’t want to go out. I just want to sleep. I work 11 hours 3 days a week, 12 hours 1 day, and a straight 8 the other. It’s long. I get home, eat dinner, and have time for maybe one TV show before getting ready for bed so I can do it all over again the next day. I haven’t been to the gym at all this week and I hate it. It’s especially bad because there’s so much candy at Job C.

I think the flaw with this plan is that 2 days a week I go from Job C to Job A to Job B. The other 3 days a week I only have to go into 2 places.

I’m not sure which is worse – under-employment and having no money, or over-employment and having no time or energy to do anything.

Maybe this week is an anomaly. After all, I was dealing with getting settled into the new job, dealing with all kinds of bullshit related to insurance companies and getting my car fixed post-accident, and figuring out loan repayments. And we all know how well I do with change LOL.

Hopefully next week is better. I worry I’m going to lose my mind. And that’s one thing I don’t care to lose.
