Sometimes I get so tired of people that complain about every single thing that is wrong in the world. I had a friend who posted on Myspace today who is all upset because people are doing the "No Gay Day" today. He's upset because supposedly people are too wrapped up in that and yet not wrapped up enough in other social issues. Yes, it makes me sad that things such as Gay Rights are not as big a deal as maybe they should be. But sometimes I feel like people in the gay community assume that they are the only ones in the fight for equal rights. I would LOVE for gay marriage to be legal. I don't understand why it is that gay marriage isn't equal, it makes no sense to me. Two people that love each other should be able to get married no matter what their sexuality. However, I do have a problem with people thinking that because I am straight that I can possibly support something like that. And because I'm not going to put gas in my car today that means I am paying less attention to other issues. I didn't realize that my focus could only be on one issue and one issue only.

Anyway.

We have this meeting at work today which should be fairly comical. I had to go into work on my day off on Sunday to help Martha because the store was so crazy. I don't understand why it's so hard to schedule one extra person for a few hours so that Sunday can go more smoothly. And when I talk to anyone other than Martha about it they act as if I have no right, that because I'm a closer I'm not allowed to be mad. I get the whole, "oh it's slower at nights, you can get everything done." Um... then why isn't that stuff on the CLOSING LIST and not on the AFTERNOON LIST. I am tired of getting pushed around and treated like I don't deserve the same rights as everyone else. I plan on asking Chris to get my transfer underway so that I can get to my new store a.s.a.p. Hopefully my new store will be better run and I won't get treated like I don't matter.

I truly can't wait to get back to school. I can't wait till Caribou isn't such a big part of my life. Two years ago when I applied to Caribou and had the idea that I wanted to be a store manager I didn't realize how much a job like Caribou can drain you. I am drained. I don't like going to work. My body hurts from the work that I do. It just isn't fun anymore. I never wanted that for myself. I want to get my degree and I want to work in a job that, yes, may be hard work but is also rewarding. I don't want to be someone that is stuck in some hell hole job because I didn't go to school and that's all I can get. I'm not trying to be rude to people that aren't going to school and to people that are okay settling for those kind of jobs but I want MORE than that.

Anyway, speaking of my job I should go get ready for yet another night.

More soon.
