Yes, I know the name for my blog is gay. But I couldn't think of anything else sophistocated, smart, or clever to put, so there you have it. Besides, it is kind of fitting. This is the one place I can bitch about stuff, and no one can stop me.
Well, here I am, about to finish my last day of school to have my paralegal certificate handed over to me, and of course I can't study for my final at all. Not to mention that we had our last class on Tuesday, and he just told us then what the final was going to be on. And I had a final last night, so that didn't give me much time to study. I just don't care anymore. I just want to be done and onto something bigger and better. Which leads me to another complaint. I have been working for my boss for 14 months. 14 long months, I might add, considering he is paying me less than I am worth, and he's terribly disorganized and my work isn't challenging me at all. And a little over a month ago, he called me into his office, and told me that he realizes I'll be looking for a new job soon, and to please tell him when I start looking so he can find someone to replace me. Which is fine, cuz of course now I'm thinking, "He's okay with me leaving, so this won't be so awkward." So anyway, on Monday I'm fooling around on Yahoo HotJobs, and I find a listing for a Junior Level Bankruptcy Paralegal. Which of course I am way excited about, and so I call and get an interview set up. So I tell my boss that I am not going to be in until noon on Tuesday last night, and he's fine. Today I get a fax from Widener with some corrections on my resume, and he somehow intercepts it (blast, I SO meant to keep tabs on incoming faxes, but got caught up playing mindsweeper). And do you know what he says????? "Is there any way I can convince you to stay, short of paying you $30,000 more a year???" Um, what the hell do you say to that?? And then he tries to guilt trip me, saying that I'm leaving my mom behind if I actually get this new job, which is in Cherry Hill. Oh well, she's gotta grow up some day! What a low blow. I so need to get out of Delaware anyway. Much as I love everyone here, I need a new place to romp around, and it's not like I'll be far away!
And...never try to diet on the holidays. It's the worst idea ever. Tony is trying to help me lose like 15 lbs by January 1st, and I just don't see it happening. Yes, I totally appreciate the effort to help me babe, but seriously...just too much tempting stuff around, and you don't help! (Eggnog, popcorn) I mean for God's sake, Denise is making pumpkin spice bars and chocolate chip pumpkin bread! AHHH! How does one say no to that? And then my boss's kids have Girl Scout crap I felt obligated to buy, because they are his kids, and now I have that here to tempt me as well. I swear that after the holidays I'll totally commit myself. At least I'm still going to the gym right now, and I have lost like 4 or 5 pounds, but I just don't see the rest of it disappearing anytime soon. Anyway...tonight is my last night of school for at least a year and a half. Thank goodness!!! Wish me luck!
