This job is so much more to me than money....I'm not even making much or working more than 20hrs....this job gives me motivation for the other things in life like school, house work and completing little tasks.
Everything I do makes me feel more useful than before. Lame, but true. I feel like I count again. It's not like I've always felt useless, only when I thought about the jobless part of my life. Of course, I never thought about the reasons behind it, you know, there was a whole purpose. I've definitely changed the way I think about things. I really must say this stress class is just amazing. I am so looking forward to starting the bachelors of psychology....just think how I'll look at things then!! =>
On a different note, I really hope Mom gets better soon. I think she should go see someone. Maybe it will just go away, one way or another.....be careful =>
Love you Mom....had fun today. =>

Went in, took the test, got partially set up, then started making calls. I was only on the phone for 2.5 hrs....made about 85 calls and 2 sales. Not too bad actually. The average goal is a sale an hour, so I'm doing okay => I want to kick it up a notch....we'll see what I can do tomorrow =>

School work can be such a drag to an uplifted day.....BUT when it's done on time after all that other good stuff happening that day, it can make you feel 100X better => I'm aiming for that feeling tonight!!

Busy the last few days....
BUT WOW....on the 2nd I was having yet another break down over the same thing that has bothered me the past year. This thing is being jobless.

The reason why I didn't have a job was that school was more important and I needed to really focus and keep up good grades. When I work, it slowly, but surely becomes my priority. That just simply is not allowed. I need to lock school in as my top priority.

BUT regardless of not having a job making all the sense in the world I still was bothered by the fact that I didn't have one, that I wasn't bringing in more money than grants and such from school. It made me feel useless. Horrible way to think about it, from the stress point-of-view I'm now acquiring from my class....but true. I've always been such an independent person, this just brought that factor down soooo much I was going crazy. Now that school was completely online for this semester and that I've got a great idea on the flow of the work load, a job wouldn't hurt too much. PART TIME!! I have to restrain myself or I'll work 50hrs a week.

Weird thing is, I must have applied to over hundreds of jobs in the past year when I had a break down....had maybe a call or two and two interviews over that whole time frame, but that's a crazy ratio.
It was weird that I applied that night like any other time throughout the year and suddenly the morning after I received a phone call to set up an interview with Synergy. Then another call from another company that I wasn't all too excited for(housekeeping), but it was a job so I took the interview after Synergy's appointment time.

The housekeeping job was actually applied for over six months ago!! hehe....kind of funny.

The only thing bugging me was having them set up on that day(the 3rd) because I had plans with Daniel and plans to head down to Mesquite to run a few places and attend the Lia Sophia jewelry party at Michelle's.

OH WELL!! hehe....things went great, though my feet hurt like hell after I got home from the interviews....stupid shoes.

Lia Sophia party was fun, too.....I'm not much of a jewelry person and have about 4 pieces of jewelry, most can't be found and aren't great for everyday or matching most clothes....I never was able to find stuff that would actually work with me because everything I have has been given to me, and I'm rough and have fear of breaking stuff. SO....I went a little crazy at the party and bought a few things. => can't wait....I'll post photos when they get here....also, Mom wanted this little cute ring they had, but didn't cave in and just bought some cute earrings called "lacey" which go really well with her hair color and are really light weight. => Tell you about mine when they get here....

In short, today er...yesterday?? the 4th....was pretty busy as well. Jayk was here and I went in for training at the new job, it lasted several hours longer than expected, but it's pretty simple. I get to start officially tomorrow after I pass a quick test on some common stuff....pretty excited!!

Then it was Mandarin buffet with a nice visit from Mom and Dad....they were supposed to pick Jayk up, but with me being gone longer than normal Jayk was kind of all alone at my house without too much to do, so Jayk is still here.... we can actually hang out now that I know the time frame of work hehe.....=>
Lots to do....lots to do..... =>

Reading the textbook for my stress class makes me think a lot about life. We cause our own stress. It's crazy. Just by how you think/self-talk about a situation or problem determines the amount of stress related to the issue. There are big differences in things we thought to be so similar like concerns vs. worries. I know it's lame to say how much I'm learning from this class, but I'm learning LOTS!! hehe => It's nice to have a class you can take information from and actually want to apply it to daily life. This class is definitely an eye-opener and life-changer!!

Today was such a FANTASTIC day....!! hehe....maybe because I was in such a GREAT mood!!
It was all Daniel and I =>
We just relaxed in the morning, watched a few things and played a little. Then we went off to run some errands. It always feels good to get stuff done. After that we found Resident Evil 5 in Target for $20 which was cool. Our original reason for Target was to pick up a little basketball pump. We almost bought some roller blades, hehe....Okiedokie....We picked up some sushi from Harmon's then we were off to the park. My idea => I really enjoy going to parks....and I made the decision that we needed to be a little more active in life, like we used to be.....
The park was great....sushi was yummy, like always....then we played around with Daniel's little xmod RC and I played around with the little Nikon S70....just goofing around, really. Then we got out the basketball, pumped it up and had a great time pretending we knew how to shoot hoops.... hehe. We really suck, but we'll get better eventually.... maybe. We played H-O-R-S-E as well, we probably threw about 200 missed shots before Daniel finally won, barely. hehe we were tied at H-O-R-S for a long time hehe....all in all, really a great time.... =>
Then it was home for that new Resident Evil 5 game....we played the demo a long time ago. Daniel was just excited that it was a game the two of us would play together hehe....
Not too much after that other than burning my tongue with broccoli.... hehe
I know this was a real boring journal entry thing, but I just had a great day....and that's what I wanted to write about....not like anyone really reads this crap anyway.... hehe

Here's Daniel's little xmod RC we played with. =>


Hehe....Daniel and I laughed at this, well, what does it look like to you?? =>


here is the set on Flickr with the rest of the photos from the park, not many.... =>


Well, Daniel fell asleep on the couch while I was writing this, so I guess that means it's sleep time =>

Goodnight....
