Stressing Out!

So, I lost my current living arrangements, employment, and vehicle all at the same time!  Can you say WHAT!? So now I'm in a frantic hurry to get a job, find an affordable apartment somewhere and get my old car fixed up enough that it will run.  All that to get accomplished and I only have until the end of May.  On top of that, the semester is ending next week and I have finals to take!  ARRRRGGGGHH!  My stress levels are through the roof and I am irritated easily by anyone and everyone, plus I can't concentrate, which only is making things worse!!!  Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? I can't wait until this is all over and I can look back and laugh at the whole thing.  that will be the day.

Attack Gate

The big gate across the driveway has chosen to become an attack gate recently.  Every time I reach through the gate to undo the latch, it bites me!  I don't know what I ever did to the gate, but it doesn't like me.  My cousins and aunt and uncle are all fine.  The gate leaves them alone, but with me, it attacks!  What's up with that?  We'll see how it feels after I take some wire clippers to it!  Ha ha ha! So much for you attack gate!

On the Hunt

The hunt is frustrating at times.  You spend all your energy and time looking and searching for this thing with minimal luck, and when you do find it, it's usually taken by someone else before you can move in on it.  Everyone needs one and it just doesn't seem like there is enough to go around for everyone.  Of course this thing I'm hunting for it a job.  What a terrible time to be looking for one of those.  No wonder they call it a job hunt.

Working with/for Family

My only suggestion here is don't do it... ever!  You think that because they are family that things will be good and maybe even a bit easier just because you already know who they are.  This could not be farther from the truth.  When looking for job opportunities, never take a job working with/for family as your first choice.  It might be okay as your backup plan, but things just never work out properly because it becomes an awkward situation.  You feel somewhat entitled because you are family, and they are in the predicament of having to try to not play favorites with you.  It all becomes one big mess that is better if it is just avoided at all costs!
