The semester is done and I've left it with less to no regret. I studied hard everday, clocked into work with what seemed to be long hours of deafening blenders and restless legs syndrome from standing for hours, and back to studying when I could still crunch in an hour or two of stuffing my face in the books. Unfortunate to say, my last final was a kick in the ass. My professor snuck in an early semester material type of question that I had blanked out on so I skipped it and saved it for last. I figured out how to do it with about 5-7 minutes left on the clock and left it half done. eh, Life's a bitch and sometimes you have to walk it and pick up the shit. Last kicker was that my work was downsizing and dissolving positions as economy was to blame. What slapped me in the face was a guy who knew nothing of the job was about to fill my place, along with other of my colleagues that have racked up about a year or two of experience. It's the management's decision and I'm in no place to tell them to pay me if they feel like they can get away with paying a lesser employee to fill my shoes. The store will get ugly and it's because their main assetts were offered a position with lesser pay - in other words, a demotion. It's more funny than insulting, but it still is an insult - an insult I'll never take up the ass. I'll take it more as a sign to move forward and get away from "comfortable". It's not a job worth raising my blood pressure to.
On a brighter turn of page, it's about that time to get a little tan, put on some fat-framed shades, and crack open a can of feet-up-on-a-table-and sip summer away. Hope to shoot out some sampler tees and tanks over the summer to tickle some interest. It'll be dope and it's all for fun. Now to find a job or intern to help fund UglyHero...
P.S. thanks Maureen, for always supporting me and providing me motivations to look forward AND to move forward.
