getting to where i want to be

My life so far. So last Tuesday I received a letter informing me that my bank account has been seized and that $490ish but not just out of my bank account (because I didn’t have that much) so Mum’s account had $400 taken out of it. So to say the least I was quite thrown off by it and over all upset not just because I had plans to go to California for my birthday but with no money it is quite difficult. But over all I was upset because my mum had money taken from her account. So I did call the collection agency and I set up another payment plan.

Well here I am in Yuba City (well pretty close) CA Today X (Kristina) and I took the bus to Walmart becus she had to work and I needed to buy some groceries and when she went to go clock on I left and took the bus back to the apartment. I felt like it was a pre-test to me potentially moving to Hong Kong, I know that that is a main method of travel and packing back three bags of groceries was helpful. I have been walking every where it seems yesterday we walked back from the mall (about 2 miles). This city reminds me a lot of Asia, and I thought that as I got out of the airport and I was greeted with smog and a slight hint of Humidity (more than I am use to in Montana). I am sitting watching Zoolander, I have only seen it once when I was younger so I am watching it again.

The past three weeks I have been working out and Tuesday night I got my first months results. I went from %45.6 body fat to %45.4, total inches has been 9.5 lost, I lost 2 in my chest, 3 in my abs, 3.5 in my hips, 1/4^th in my thighs 3/4^th in my calf, and I gained 1 inch in my bicep.

New, Old, Good, Bad

New: I have started working out and it is great it only is about an four hours a week and that is pretty cool and it works well for me. I have lost 5lbs in five days.'

Old: I have collections after me and now they have started a garnishment of my wages an estimated 25% of my take home so that is depressing. but luckily for me they have to find where i am working! so it most likely won't be on this pay period i called the office and they said they haven't gotten anything.

Bad: I am concerned about money right now. I have bills that I need to pay, plus rent plus the gym I hope this Garnishment won't drown me I really do. I just need to make sure i keep my other collection payments. So half of my pay check doesn't go to collections (if the second place does garnish my checks it would only take about 5 paychecks to pay it off it is just a lot of money that is all

Good: Well I guess I will find out if there is any good news tomorrow when i get my check and see how much i have left. I need to talk to Sharbono's about possibly paying my rent on the 11th of Nov. When i get back

Money SUCKS

So this week I got my first FULL pay check ($787)[82hrs], the only problem is I was in over time so I didn't get as much as I should have because our government sucks ass. So what did I spend my money on you ask? well let me tell you

The days here are getting colder and I have no winter clothes so I went out and I bought a fleece Jacket from Old Navy (plus two shirts, two skirts and a pair of Pj bottoms) =$57
I then made my way over to Billings Athletic Club to sign up for the boot camp class and get a member ship = $177
I places $70 in my dads account and $30 in my mums. $459 into my checking (after the over draft payment) , $150 into savings, -$50 on my line of credit (still owing $250.63)

Then I made my way to Brenda's to retrieve my mail. In my mail I found I owed $125 to the city of billings for a past ticket that i didn't pay, it was turned over to collections so I called and paid that for $170 (ish) i then called and paid an $18 hospital visite for stiches on my leg to ST.V's i called MSUB to set up payments of $50 on the 25th of every month to pay off 3,100 (ish) bill. I have and unknown bill to a Missoula collection and i owe $620.48 to CBB collections and 338 to Riverstone clinic for an appointment i had about 9 months or so ago . So to mom and Miranda the only two who read this wana add it all up for me? that would be great!

life

Today I learned the lesson of not keeping my alarm in my bed with me. It was to convent to just shut it off it went off at 4:50, 5, and 5:15 all three times I disabled it. I have to clock in at 6a and I finally woke up at 5:34 bolted out of my bed and was out of the house dressed with teeth brushed in about 8 min and clocked on at 5:59a I was proud of myself but I was quite afraid of hitting some animal on my way to work because I take the back roads.

So I like my job I have been working there for about 20 days now and I have filtered through everything it seems. I have had to deal with irrational family, co-workers, sick, and today death. But in this job this is a common thing and like everything else I will just have to get use to it.

Today is my Friday and I need it. I spent my time today selling plasma, watching t.v. (with no sound) and over loading on Coffee and soon the group I hang out with and myself are going to go out on the patio and smoke some hookah so that should be a new. I have had the opportunity to just never done it.

I plan on spending my weekend not getting up at 5am and I am going to make a Cake tomorrow with a friend then bring it to the coffee shop for some ones birthday

well thats all that happened to me this Friday/Wednesday

First week of work

Well I got a job. Today I officially completed my full first week of work. So far I like this job once I get over being tired and my annoyance with the Noc shift and there lack of work on there shift.

Last night when I was using my phone I relized how bad and rickety it has been getting. I took a look at the AT&T sight to look up plans. I talked to a spokes person and i can get an iphone sent to me shipping included in the cost of purchase and it will only be about $305 then only about $90/month I am stoked. I plan on buying the plan at the begining of October after my first full pay check!!!!

It seems that things are looking up for me I have a job that pays good that i get full time work with. By the way this is the first time that I have had this in over a year and a half.

New Job

Well This week was good. I got a new job still in health care, not the direction I was hoping to go. It is nice to get up early for two days in a row.

Tomorrow I am going to go to Lewistown for the Choke Cherry Festival, I am excited but I don't have my camera because i loaned it Brad

Long week

I was officially released from my job last Tuesday so I have officially been unemployed for a week and a half and I am oddly not concerned I have an almost peace about it all which i think is good.

Today I went to bed at 4a I spent my evening doing laundry and watching Stardust and Anastasia which lead me to the conclusion that my personal collection of movies need some lightening up. Most of my movies are Dark Dramas like I can't sit and laugh at them with out thinking and I think that I need that mindless humor.

When I finally arose from my bed I didn't do much of anything. I did start reading a new online comic series from the beginning http://questionablecontent.net/index.php. I like it then I took a break from that and cleaned my bathroom shower, sink, floor (did the toilet yesterday) and the floors in my room along with rearrange the furniture some.

So today i am content not Happy nor sad just content!

Oh and yesterday I made veggie Lasigna for dad and me and today i went to walmart and bought Judah a pair of cute orange boardies!

Promising outlook

I made an appointment last week to meet with Job Services to assist in finding me a job. I had the appointment today. I went and I got some good feed back one how to write my resume and cover letter and I will do that and make another appointment next week for him to go over my resume and cover letter. All the while I am making attempts at getting a job.

After my appointment I broke down and got a coffee with my biolife money. I then sat in line at the court house for an hour to get my plate registration.

and that was my day

August 28th 2009

Not much has happened today. I started off my town day with selling my plasma that hurt. Then I traveled to my dads house to take him "shopping". Over all through all the running around I did I was just tired i came home about 5 with every intention of going to bed. See how well that worked out its 745p and I am still up, I did go do some laps then about 6 teen girls showed up so I elected to come in and watch cash cab (not intentionally it was just what was on).

Oh I found a new websight that is fun its http://dailybooth.com and I think you all should check it out and join! Oh and FAN ME

airaM

My day

So I was finaly abel to sit down and talk to my mum like a REAL talk after about a month nothing to deep. Over all I did not get to sleep till about 330 so i did not get up till about 1130. When I got up i took a shower and then made my way into town to pick up my last pay check and when and got my refund for the Slipknot concert. Then i made my way up to the rims about 7 tonight and took pictures

End of a Long drawn out day

So with being recently dismissed from my place of work I have basically spent the past 15 hours looking for another job. I have had some success with having a job interview. No place so far has seemed impressed or willing to risk hiring me because over the past year and a half ever job I have had I have been Fired from. I know that it is not something to be proud of and I am not proud that I have been fired I am just facing facts that is all.
I feel that it might have something to do with the fact that I just should not be here I am referring to Montana that i can't keep a job because I don't belong here. I don't know what do you think?

End of the DRAMA.... and my job

I was called to come into work today about 1130 and i told her i could be there by 130 so i was and by 145 I was officially un-employed. So I went home and applied for Bi-life, Walgreens, Billings Health and Rehab, Evergreen retirement. and had an interview with Evergreen so. Back to the grind stone, I think tomorrow i am going to go stay up in Roundup with my aunt and look for a job up there maybe just start over back to the begining I guess.

I also looked into EMT classes and they start in abour 2 weeks and they cost $500 and runs through December.

I guess I am going to go to job services tomarow and sit down with some one to help me form a Resume and maybe get some jobs linned up.

Good day 8/21/09

So I had yesterday off and I was so bored i wanted some one ANY one to hang out with so I texted just about every person I knew and only got a hand full of responses. All the responses were "oh that's nice" or "Oh I would but i have to work" and lastly and my favorite " let me give you a call back" (with no call back). I spent about 2 hrs doing these texts and over all had lost hope that I would be doing anything intresting with my evening because the morning was wasted already. Then at about 3p one of my friends who I texted just calles me instead of texting me back. So I end up giving her directions to my house and she arives at about 315. We hung out from 315-315. We went to District 9, ice cream, and we went for Dinner at about 1030 at old Chicago I was over all pleased and felt like i had a pretty good day.

So Many Bills!!

Lesson to every one, Don't have any surgery or any thing you will need to spend a large amounts of money on when you can't pay within a year.

So I received a letter today stating that i owe collections OH about $2700. So that was a nice start to my ONE day off this week. So i need to find a way to make money, I thought i had made my decision on moving but i guess now i will need to re-think that decision, no matter what i do i will need to be able to pay my bills here in Montana and the bills where ever I move.

The end of drama

So i went into work early today to talk to my Boss about all the drama that is going on between all the employees and basically i don't want any part in it. Sh told me that the one lead staff was just being mean, no grounds just mean.

my music

To much Drama

I will just get into this:

On Monday August 10th I was written up at work. I was written up for two things
ONE: give false information to a residents family "I wasn't aware we did her oral care" that was my false information and
TWO: At the facility I work at we have an aviary which is basically a big cage with annoying messy birds in it. Well every night some one from the evening shift needs to "cover" the birds well the cover for the cage has little screw sticking out under its "roof" that the cloth goes around and hooks to well the thing that hooks on the cage are brackets that you would see on a tarp. well the shift that takes this cover off found that it is had to remove so they facility bough almost curtain clips which is a ring that has a clip attached to it that they places on this cover... well i found it looked very poor and i took them off and told the community manager who told me that we will wait and see. Well i got written up for that because i "changed something that it was not my place to change".

Now why have i gone through all this well if you would just sit back and listen i will tell you. So i was written up and at the facility they had planned a NOC (the over night staff) meeting. So the evening staff that i am a part of we were expecting to have our bosses in towards the end of our shift, so we needed to make sure all residents were in there beds, trashes were out and so on.

WELL here is where it gets intresting on August 7th i cut my leg and had to get stiches and this is my second day back at work since thoes stiches so i am moving a bit slower and i am in pain seeing as how my job requires quite a bit of walking and bending and my stiches are located on my leg near my knee. My lead who is basicly the person who passes medications to the residents (they don't do much more) well she noticed that i was slower than usual and instead of ask me what was wrong or tell me to get on the ball she knowing the bosses are comming in calls one of the bosses and has her come in early to chew me out. When she wasn't even the aid that was getting shorted my hall partner was getting shorted because i wasn't able to move as quickly.
So my boss came in a chewed me out again that is two times in one day and it was over me being slow... THE ONE DAY I DIDN'T PUT ALMOST ALL THE RESIDNETS TO BED. and because the lead thought that i was giving her an attitude when all i was doing was asking a question. Instead of her taking her athority as the lead and asking me or telling me she just called in her boss to to do it.

Well i told you that long days story to get to this that hall partner that i shorted that day well she knew i had hurt myself and the next day when the "boss" came into work she asked her if she had complained about me to the lead that day and she said "no" that she knew i was in pain and was going to be working slow so she picked up the slack. she didn't say anything to the lead. and what her and i think is that the "boss" talked to her and that made her mad because when i worked with her on August 14th she gave me the cold shoulder and didn't comunicate with me at all the whole shift while the "hall partner" from 10th came and helped me when i needed it. Over all the shift on the 14 was tence and she was just angry the whole time. So the "10th Hall partner" went to work today (Aug.15 2009) and she was given a sheet the same she she had last night working only this sheet had last nights date on it but also a whole set of "revisons" that she "didn't" do last night this girl last night when i worked with here she was upset because the list she had was directed that she was to stay in the front area (the HUB) the whole night and she was not to do DIRECT cares to any of the residents unless it was an Emergency (over all this list for her is just to make sure she has something to do but it has turned into something compleatly petty). She then approached the lead and asked her if she did something wrong? and said that she was hurt by the "late revisions" .The Lead then sent her home she told her she wasn't going to fight with her or deal with her (i don't know the exact wording i wasn't there)
So the "10th hall partner" gets home and is steamed and calls me. She thinks that the lead is targeting her because she stood up for me with reguards to the 10th. She also thinks that the Lead and another care giver are after me getting fired or written up to the point where i am dismissed. So that is the Drama and i don't want any part of it but it seems i am in the center of this attack

i-to-i

so the past 6 months have been tough with the i-to-i tutor, i am just having problems passing, to the point where Miranda has helped me, and this last one she wrote the assignment and still no passing.... UGH i am just over whelmed. So today i got on the phone and called them, and e-mailed them, and called them again, and made another call over all i am just waiting thats all i can do. wait

Bored

I am tired and bored and i can't seem to leave
