About Me

9/13/08Let's see... I am working full time and going to school full time so I have absolutely no social life. I LOVE my job!!! I'm a preschool teacher & have nothing to complain about other than the commute... and there is always the money, because everyone always wants more. But, as for the job itself, I couldn't be happier. I am still at Chabot, 6 years later, and I won't be done til next May. *sigh* I'm addicted to NPR (National Public Radio) even though I find them them to be bias at times. I have a love/hate relationship with my sister, and even though I've moved out, I still talk to my parents at least once a week. I live with my boyfriend DJ and I love him to death!!! I love summer weather when I can go to the beach, otherwise I can't stand the heat, so I am happy that it's Fall now & I can't wait til Halloween. I love camping and skiing but I haven't done either in years. I barely watch any TV & I love to read. I drink at least 6 bottles of water a day & I ALWAYS have to pee.

The Hell That is My Work.

My eyes ache, my head throbs in pain, and I strain to concentrate at this I call a job.  My boss is in front of me, yet I hear not a spoken word.  I am on autopilot.  My mind ceases to ...
