I've officially been with Kmart for six months and with the recent news headlines I may be forced to look for another job much earlier than I had intended.  Budget cuts forcing the stores to close and the lack of people after the holidays make it very hard for the store to stay in business.  Though almost everyday I gripe and complain about my job and how much the customers annoy me, I do love my coworkers, and I love the feeling of having a purpose for my day instead of lazing around with nothing to do and nowhere to go without a car.  Though my manager is crazy about getting rewards cards and half of my fellow cashiers don't stay on their registers long enough during the day to help more than five people, I can't say that I would give up my job.  I think that it's good for me and hopefully if I can stay with the company long enough I will be able to have a more secure resume for future job opportunities.  

I am completely done with all the religious zealots that the holidays bring out by the dozen.  I don't care about your religion if you stay quiet about it but the second you start rubbing it in my face that you think you have something special with a deity that may or may not exist is a sign that you had better start running.  I even had someone come in at work and when I was asked about my beliefs I tried to politely tell the guy that it was none of his business and that at work it is not ethical to share your beliefs with anyone.  Finally he bugged me enough to get me to answer him and he immediately went on a tangent about how it's "a sin" to believe in the Wiccan Goddess and how I should be ashamed for thinking such things.  Had I not been on the clock and forced to remain polite I would have informed him of all the terrible things that his own religion has caused and how it is by no choice of his that I believe what I do.

On a lighter note I think until my temperament improves I'm going to go into study for interior design instead of going to veterinary school.  I don't think at this point in time I'm ready for something so all consuming and I know it would take far more time than I have for the internship that you have to go through with the training.  I thought briefly about photography but I don't think I can fall back on that if my future course of vet work doesn't work out for me.  

My weight loss is fluctuating at present.  I've been doing all right but it's a fair amount of weight to lose and with it being so cold out and the fact that work takes up eighty percent of my waking hours I find it hard to exercise or to make meals that, although are more healthy, are often more time intensive.  I know it would greatly affect my energy levels and make me more lively if I can lose more than one or two pounds at a time and I am just going to have to make the time even if my day doesn't really allow for it.  

I think I'm going to go to bed and stop ranting before I give myself even more of a headache.
