I've been busy at work and can't check email from there anymore. I've got a big vacation coming up on the 14th for 2 weeks so I will be away for awhile. Stephanie, I hope you get that job you want. My ex husband delivered newspapers for many years and it was 365 brutal with no breaks. I hope you get outta there quickly. I understand why you signed up, but it really is like slavery.
JessicaB, it sounds like mediation helped. You'll have to tough it out for how long? The end of the year? That's better than 12 mos, right?
Love you all.
Take care.
I also can't talk on the phone in here for over 10 min. I think its kinda BS seeing as im paying over 5k for this semesters room and board. My roommate played the high and mighty card at the meeting (and lied a LOT, brought out the tears), like shes too good for this and blah blah. then again, she and the suite mates planned it! so if anything you;d expect them to be all for it. Whatever, living with girls is just drama; I totally prefer online college. I'm just still positive cause I get to see grant friday!!! Hopefully my room transfer will get approved. sometime. I hope.
Good luck steph :D
Kinda shitty that you cant even sit in the comfort of your own room to skype. not like your calls we private anyway cuz they were always jumping in. uggh, see thats why i couldnt live in a dorm, you have more patience and tolerance than i do. after all the crap youve told me about them doing, i would decked at least one of em in the face already. i have no tolerance for stupid anymore. my tolerance level for stupid was reached and exceeded in high school. good luck hope things get better now.
I have to be in Ocala tomorrow at the call center for testing. I guess to see if im "qualified" for the job and if i can perform it because as part of the testing they put you thru a simulation. But from what i can understand of the job description, you basically have to be able to tolerate people calling and yelling at you and being able to multitask on a computer with different programs and multiple windows inside the programs all at once. multitasking, no problem, and if im gettin paid to have people aggravate, well i can deal with it :) ill have an update tomorrow hopefully. pray for this, cuz its a heck of a lot better than a paper route
good luck tomorrow steph!!!! I hope you will do awesome(:
As an update on the room situation, we had a mediation session with our RA today, actually helped a lot. laid out a TON of ground rules. I'm not allowed to skype in my room anymore... (gotta go to the social lounge) BUT she cant do homework in here after midnight. or have the lights on. So we're making progress.
PS: seeing my sailor on Friday! YAYYYYYYYY! :D
4mrsdivine: What is your PIR date???? The highest Division number we had in this graduation group was 933 or 218. You need to find your PIR date group. Good luck!
