Do you believe in something beautiful?

I'm frustrated.

I'm working at Dairy Queen and they have pretty much trained me to be a manager. Which is awesome, I mean for once a fast food place has held true on a promise. However, I know this cycle. You begin to get ahead in a fast food place and you get sucked in. There isn't nearly enough compensation for the bull shit you have to put up with. 7.75$ isn't nearly enough for opening the store, counting the drawers, scrubbing the base boards, counting truck, dealing with bitchy customers, handling the latest crisis, closing the store, and serving rancid milkshakes.

I'm searching and searching for a job elsewhere, but I'm not having any luck. I'd kill for a job like Marissa's. She hates it half the time, but the money is good, and she meets spiffy people. We have the construction guys that come into DQ, and I love talking to them. They're funny and know how to take a joke and how to interpret my sarcasm. I would love to work with people like that.

I'm tired of scams. Scams for jobs, scams for cars, scams for everything. What the hell happened to our world? Everyone is trying to scam everyone! It's ridiculous! There have been the crap scams that are obviously scams, saying you've own a million dollars, just give them your ssn. Now that I'm job hunting I'm seeing so many job offers that are fake. Why? What's the point? It's annoying.

On a positive note, we're getting a second vehicle on Tuesday. It'll be nice not having to depend on Alex to get me places, or for him to be home so I can get myself places.

School started again, and I love my Arabic class... Or I love the content and I love the way my instructor presents the information. I hate actually being in the class. I sit in my own little corner, in my own little chair, and practically hide the entire two and a half hours. Was it always this bad? Was I always this shy? As much as I enjoy the class, I am so relieved once we're dismissed.

So, as you can see, I need to work on some things.
