got a job at ez mart

so i started working at ez mart on wednesday, i left the house to go job hunting and to go to seminole state college wednesday around 9 am and i had the job by like 9:30 and started at 4 o clock. im making a lot less than what i was making but its a job and they worked with me on my schedule for school. but the night shift will take some getting used to because i didnt sleep for shit and now im exhausted. im sure i wont have any problem sleeping when i get home as long as my rowdy lil nephews will let me. but it will take a while to get used to my nights being days and my days being nights. right now im getting ready to go to work with a massive headache and im tired as hell.

e mails

so i have sent 5 e mails today that say
To whom it may concern,
My name is Joe Powers. I am a 28 year old college student going to school to be a drug or youth counselor. I am on the presidents honor role and a member of Phi Theta Kappa. My grades rate me in the top ten percent of my school, but I am having trouble finding employment in the counseling field because I am also a convicted felon and recovering addict myself. I knew my past would be an obstacle but I never imagined it to be a road block. I am sending this E-Mail in hopes that you or someone you may know will be willing to give me a chance. In prison I decided to not only change my life around, but to use my life as an example to help others do the same. If you or anyone you know thinks that they would like to give me a chance to make my dream a reality please contact me by phone or E-Mail.

Sincerely,
Joe Powers

today sucks

so mike hasn't called about work yet so i havent enrolled in school cause wherever i enroll at i have to be there for 16 weeks so i dont want to enroll until i know that mike is going to hire me. it is frustrating as hell. plus my love life sucks i think im gonna go see candy tonight we dated a while but i wasnt really feeling it, but im just gonna stop by and see whats up cause im tired of being lonely plus she makes good money and she loves her some joe. that might sound fucked up but i guess it is what it is, but the truth is I know me and i guess im just talking shit cause i cant really do that whole playing thing but i am gonna go say hi and see whats up

good morning

not that there is anything good about this morning. i am un employed and i dont do that well, plus this girl i like in south carolina met someone thats good for her i guess any ways im waiting on mickeys boss to call me about work so i can go transfer my schooling oh fun fun im really tired of life kicking my ass but it never seems to let up. its all good however

already moving again

so i just got my apartment last week and now im moving again. i found out friday when i got my check that i didnt have any work this week, but i have work in shawnee so now im back to changing jobs and schools and everything. I'm just so tired of always moving i didnt complete one level of academics at anyone school and i was hoping to accomplish that at Redlands but now that to is shot all to hell. but to be honest it is probably for the best because i hav been having a problem staying sober in el reno, but i know everyone here and shawnee is so lonely for me even though my sister and brother in law and nephews are there and so is mickey dustins brother, I dont have any female companionship. but to be honest the female companionship i have been getting here in el reno i could honestly do with out. I really kind of like this girl ive been talking to on line which i know is kind of crazy because she lives in south carolina. but i like her a lot it always makes my day a little brighter when i see her on line. but anyways what will happen i cannot say. i guess i have to take it on day at a time and try to figure it out. the changing of schools is what is scarying me the most i just got to know all of the professors there and the people in the office and now i am starting all over again but know this im gonna make it i always do, cause why cause a country boy can survive.
