Day 8 : Just another day? I think NOT!

Well today was pretty good. I find it interesting that I do not want to say my day is good, mainly because I was at work today. Like saying I had a good day even though I was at work is somehow backtracking. But even though I may not be ecstatic about my job I should allow myself the concept of having a good workday. So yes. I had a good day, at work and at home. Went in, somehow against all rational all of last week's work was accepted as up to standard. All I can think was that someone was asleep on the job, and it might have been me. But any who, I didn't stress much, and it was an OK day. Will be a busy week, always is, but started off pleasantly enough.

One thing I did today that was my progress success was I spent a decent amount of time on my old school's website downloading all the teaching information from my old class. I think I would like to go back and download some other stuff from other classes to really flush out the material I can use to become, well, an expert. Because that is what I must become to teach, and EXPERT in something. I think I would like to be an expert in writing for scripts and media. I feel though I should have a backup expertness, so am debating that. Perhaps editing, because I do enjoy film editing, and it is something I like to think I am moderately good at. You can even see a few clips at www.jesseboguefilms.com Not all the links work cause I stopped work on it when I got this job, but I will go back and finish it up now that I am back on track. Yet another thing to add to my to do list.

Today was also largely filled with LOANS. That's right, calling up and haggling about student LOANS. And there ...ARE....SO...MANY. I mean, I am glad VERY glad to be trying to make something of my life and move towards a teaching position that utilizes my Graduate degree, especially because I would hate to think that that 80k went to nothing. That's right. EXPENSIVE. Word to the wise, if you can get it for free, DO, even if it means a hit somewhere else like location or prestige. Money is the root of all our problems and my tap root goes DEEP. What I did with my loans, and I offer this as my daily advice, was I consolidated them into multiple consolidations. Now follow me on this one. I had say 5 loans at variable rate interest, which means as the economy declined, my loans got cheaper, so I then had 5 that were at 3.2% interest rate. Now I also had 5 loans at a fixed rate at 6.8% So what I did was consolidated the first 5, separate of the second 5. Now the intention with this is that should I ever have spare money to pay off my loans, I can pay down the 6.8% consolidation with that extra money until it is payed off, thus saving myself more money in the long run, than if I had consolidated all 10 loans at the average of the two rates. This is a bit of a hassle over all, but I hope it pays off in the long run. But like I said. HEADACHE. And soon my pocket book will be much more empty because my deferment period ends this month. POOR. Like taking a 15k pay cut. Boo that crap. But we reap what we sow. So don't sow loans!

Any who, the workout today was ... well.. wow. It was apparently "friend day" or some crap like that over at Meg's gym across the street, and I got to go for free today, so Meg took me to a boot camp class, and like I said... wow.

Basically the trainer set up 13 "stations" where you do crazy shit like throw a medicine ball in the air or jump rope, or drag a punching bag across the room for about 45-60 seconds before switching and it is non stop. Kicked my butt. But good times, and I felt I could have gone longer. Really makes me want to join Meg's gym in addition to my own, but I don't want to pay for it. But one idea I had was to make sure I work the over time each month to cover the gym membership, but I don't know if that is necessarily the smart option, but I would like it.

Oh yea, other annoying thing, because the people at work refuse to hire competent people, the reprogramming of our systems has been pushed back by another 2 weeks which means my work will remain a pain in the ass for that much longer till they can update us to the new work "counting" system. *Angry fist shake*

But yea, that was my day in a nut shell. Mmm nuts shells. Well, not nutshells, but you get the idea. Also, Almond Butter, pretty good. Not Nuttella though, that crap made me sick when I tried to make the most delicious sandwich in the world last summer. This sandwich had the potential for greatness. I was slowly experimenting and working my way up, starting with a peanut butter and banana sandwich, and it capped out at a peanut butter and banana sandwich with Jelly and Marshmallow Fluff. It was DELICIOUS. But then I got over confident, and power hungry. I thought I could take it farther, make it better still. I was a fool! I added Nutella to this combination (for those who don't know Nutella is basically foreign milk chocolate spread). And the result .... was me going into a low grade diabetic shock. I basically went home sick and slept for about a day. So the super delicious sandwich, big fail.

And I'm out.

Things I've learned today. How to spell Sandwich and Marshmallow. Funny, no one says MarshmAllow. The more you know *insert crazy tune and comet flying across the screen here*
