Live and let Live.... first words to pop into my head this Saturday morning. What a great day it is, I have half the day off from work.. I have been working non stop at my fast food and retail clothing jobs. Putting in 80 hour weeks all in the name of trying to catch up with my debts. To me it is the slave labor of the recession.. all the precussions of earlier years when I was just making it. Now I am barely keeping up with some sort of survival. What I really miss is spending time with my daughter. All I can think is to work, work, until I get a vehicle and take care of more problems haunting me from the past. One of the things, besides my daughter of course that keeps me going is I am accomplishing little goals. One by one the pieces are being put back together and my jig saw puzzle life is seeing head way. I can not wait to see the ending result. That's where I am able to go to school, do well, and make a secure career out of the deal. I can imagine the outcome... the beautiful picture that lies ahead. As for today, I am going to ride my bike clear across town to get my purse I left at closing last night. Hectic night it was at work. Closing by myself with customers non stop. The people I work for want you out of their at a certain time and if your not they write you up. So I do the same thing everyone else does... clock out 15 minutes after closing and work up to two hours for free to get everything done right and a good job so I do not get written up. However I am still happy to have a break today until I go back to work this evening. That is the best feeling to have some time off. If I keep my employers from not shorting my hours on pay day, it will be much easier to get ahead and I am happy to have a job. Times are different then they used to be. Good luck to all and I hope your pictures of what you desire in life comes true for you and your rewarded for all the hard work. On this note, we can do our best and that will have to be sufficient.
