I wish my mind would keep still sometimes
I got a ticket/warning yesterday for not wearing my seatbelt. I should have known better, because I had already been warned that on Pennsylvania Ave in Westminster, a mob of cops had been randomly hanging by those digital speedometer signs to catch people when they slow down that don’t have their seatbelt on. But I had -just- pulled out of the work parking lot, so didn’t think to put it on yet.
Figures. Granted it’s only $25, but heck that’s a week worth of gas these days.
When I came home, it was so beautiful out, I decided to take My Son outside and sit with me on the tree swing in front of the house. But as soon as I opened the door, he bolted after a chipmunk and almost ripped my arm off with him. Now I have a nice red ring around my wrist. Him and his nice chipmunk obsession and pittbull strength.
3 more days and then no more Terminix. Today is actually my last full day, and then I work two half days tomorrow and Saturday. My co-worker is giving me a sick day next week, and then I’ll be using up 2 vacation days to finish out the payperiod for a full paycheck.
I’m extremely nervous about the new job, so much that I haven’t slept well in the last 4 days. Worrying about whether I’ll be good enough, whether they’ll like my work, etc. Everyone is assuring me that if they didn’t like my work, they wouldn’t hire me, and that what I don’t know, I can easily learn. But it still hangs on the back of my mind.
I know I’ll work hard for them and practically do whatever they want me to, but I still can’t help but worry about being unemployed and trying to take care of my father. I suppose I always have Terminix to fall back on, but I don’t want to go back there again.
I don’t have any plans this weekend. As far as I know, none of my friends are having a cookout this year, unlike last year. So I will probably spend the time at home, catching up on projects. Sounds kinda sad, but I should really use the time for something productive and conserve the money.
