Music: Dad's music
So I came to the decision over last couple of days that Monday when I'm back in Spearfish, I'm going to start looking for a waitressing job. I just don't think I can handle straightening the same stuff day in and day out for the next year and a half. Or making $6.25 an hour for the next year and a half. Maybe $6.57 by the end of my time here in Spearfish. No thanks. I might shoot someone. This is about how I feel:
Peter: The thing is, Bob, it’s not that I’m lazy. It’s just that I just don’t care.
Bob Porter; Don’t, don’t care?
Peter: It’s a problem of motivation, all right? Now, if I work my ass off and Initech ships a few extra units, I don’t see another dime. So where’s the motivation? And here’s another thing, Bob. I have eight different bosses right now!
Bob Slydell: I beg your pardon?
Peter: Eight bosses.
Bob Slydell: Eight?
Peter: Eight, bob. So that means when I make a mistake, I have eight different people coming by to tell me about it. That’s my real motivation - is not to be hassled. That and the fear of losing my job, but y’know, Bob, it will only make someone work hard enough not to get fired.
So yeah.
Today I drove home to see the parents and the cats for the weekend. I get to spend the night, eat a good dinner with them, and all that good stuff. And do it all over again tomorrow. And I don't have to pay anything to do my laundry. It's fantastic. Although I must say I don't miss the cat fur up my nose at all times. I even accomplished some homework tonight while watching a movie with Mom. We started making fun of some television show during the movie, and about that point, Dad walked in and gave us both really weird looks. Mom just said she missed watching movies with me lol.
And I noticed that for the first 2 hours I was home, all I did was talk, non-stop, about everything. Work, school, teachers, Amy, Wes, ANYTHING. I'm glad Mom sat and listened, and she said she was glad that my conversations actually were about something and not just rambling, and that most of them just required her to smile and nod :) Works for me. But I got it all out of my sstem, now I'm just a lil' tired. Yay for sleepin on the couch :)

ha, u mean u get more for waitressing? And um, ur pay is in US dollars right? Okay, u might go duh but i juz wanted to confirm. Sometimes, i'm juz spouting rubbish so hope u dun mind hee... Make some allowance for younger pple hehe... Cos it's like the usual rate for waitressing job in Singapore is maybe 5 to 6 sing dollars which is like 3 or 4 dollars in the states... so it's abt half the amt u get per hour. But i guess it's diff cos u haf higher standards of living right. Okay, i sometimes think i'm askin the obvious again but i juz can't help it hee. Pardon me...
Looks like my Office Space post has inspired a few people to use it on there blogs as well. That is cool. Anyway, I love having talks with my mom as well. She is the greatest mom in the whole wide world. I know you are saying, "Nope, that is my mom." Well, we could duke it out to find out. LOL Anyway, my song for the day is John Mayer's Comfortable.
