Air Conditioner Boxes

Tomorrow I am going home to help my mom put on air conditioner boxes where she works. She is responsible to put them on in the fall and take them off in the spring. She lets my brother and I come home and help so we can make some of the money. I am just going home this time so I can make more.

Busy

The last four days I have been doing school,sleeping and working. I finally have three days off and am exhausted. It's tough working an 8 hour shift plus school full time and trying to have a life. I will try my best to enjoy the next three days that I have off.

Mowed

I mowed my parents yard today for the first time since I graduated from high school which has been about 7 years ago. I forgot how much time it takes and how much work it is. My dad wanted me to bag it and the grass was extra long so it was a good work out. I know for sure that I don't miss doing that.

Casinos

Casinos are quite exciting places. I am in college but I work at a Casino for money to pay my rent, food and gas. It sometimes is long hours which can make me really tired. However, I am taking my classes online so I can set my own schedule. That is very helpful. I will be happy when I finish and graduate and can get a full-time job in the field I have chosen.

Back to Class

It was really hard getting back into life after being on vacation for almost 2 weeks. I was kind of in a bad mood my first night back to work. It only lasted about half the night then I got over it. Then on Tuesday I started my next class and of course I dreaded that. But I think I'm back into the swing of things. Now if I can just get rid of this lousy cold.

Work

I work in a casino and I am in security. I work third shift and am part time. Since I have been there I have gotten a fair amount of hours and has really worked out well. But for the last few months my hours have been cut way back. It's hard to make a living on only a few hours a week. They say they over hired and I am hoping that a couple of people quit so that my hours pick up again. I do like it there and want to continue working there.

Cosmetology School in Indiana

Are you someone who lives in the Midwest and are interested in pursuing a cosmetology career? You are not quite sure where you should attend school so that you can get the best education and training. Regency Beauty Institute is a cosmetology school in Indianathat is not your typical beauty school. It is modern, professional and salon-like. The educators are very talented and when you graduate they can help you find a job with their national job placement network. How nice is that? It would be great if all schools would provide help like that. So if you are considering this type of career then consider one of the Regency Beauty schools and get the best education and training available.

Sony LCD Television

I recently found a great deal on a Sony LCD television that I couldn't resist. It has a 40 inch screen and is full HD. I love it! I have hooked it up to my computer so you can about imagine how it must look as a monitor. :) The picture quality is phenomenal! I've been putting extra hours in at work and am rewarding myself with this television.

Sick

Yesterday I started feeling like I was coming down with something. I went to bed and this morning I woke up and I ached all over. I went back to sleep telling myself that I was not sick but then I woke up again feeling just as bad if not worse. I got up and took my temperature and it was over 102 degrees. I called my boss and told him what was going on and asked him to let me come in for only a half of a night. He was pretty cool about it and said if I didn't get any better by later tonight to let him know because he didn't want me going in at all. Hopefully I will feel a lot better by then.

Best Security Officer

I am a security officer at a casino where I live and the other night as I was working my boss saw me across the room and waved and the next thing he did was to yell out that I was his number one security officer. That made my night because I wasn't feeling that way for awhile. I was hoping I was doing a good job so that just confirmed it for me and I was happy.

Pay Raise

I was recently told that I am getting a pay raise. I will also get one in December as long as I am still working there and I should be. It is so great because I can use the extra money. It also makes it easier to go to work knowing that I am making more per hour. What a blessing.

Meeting

I had to drive to where I work today for a meeting. It's not exactly what I would choose to do on my afternoon off. It's a gorgeous day outside and I have to be inside listening to stuff I don't care about. The only good thing about it is that I get paid to be there.

Weight Loss

Every since I started my job at the casino I have been losing weight. I usually walk about 2 miles every night that I work. I eat less and I'm guessing I have dropped more then 50 pounds. I feel better and hopefully look better. I am still trying to lose more and hopefully will get it done. I'm glad I got this job.

Back to Work

Well after having about two weeks off from work I went back last night. It was hard to do that because I have enjoyed my time off. I guess that's the way it goes though. Life does go on and we can't be on vacation all the time. I'm just thankful that I have a job to go to.

Online Degree

I am taking online classes to eventually achieve my online degree. It is nice because with my work schedule I would not be able to attend a regular college. I work odd hours and so when I get time, day or night I can do my school work.
Capella University is an accredited university. Capella offers graduate degree programs in business, information technology, education, human services, psychology, public health, and public safety, and bachelor’s degree programs in business, information technology, and public safety. This university is there for the working adult. What a great way to get the degree you desire and still be able to hold down a job or be a stay at home mom.

Sick

Well, I had a great weekend at home with my parents, brother and hanging out with friends. On Sunday night I started coughing a lot and it continued on through Monday. I thought maybe I was having an allergic reaction to something but then this morning I woke up with a 102 temperature and feel lousy. I sure hope this is only a 24 hour bug.

Work

I've been getting a lot more hours at work and it has been a lot with dealing with that and doing my school work. It sure was nice though when I got my last check. I actually had some money left over after paying my bills so I guess it is worth it all.

Back

The other night I was at work and was working with another security guard and we were pulling a large cart through the casino that was very heavy. He was pushing and I was pulling and I tried to pull with one arm and felt a sudden tightening in my back muscle and it has been sore ever since. I think it will be ok but will make sure I am more careful next time.

Sore Knee

Well, they didn't find anything on the xrays about my knee. So, I don't know why it hurts so much. Luckily the other night I was sent home a couple of hours early because my knee hurt so bad. I think I will have to go see a specialist and maybe they can give me a cortisone shot in it.

Classes Started

Classes got started for me this past week and it is going pretty well. I sure am glad that I chose to do my classes online. It works so much better for me and with me having a late night job I would have a hard time getting to school and working at the same time. I've even done better in my grades and that's worth a lot.
