laborous day?

it seems wrong to celebrate a day honoring the working man, when i can barely get myself up and out to go to work everyday. but if you are one of those hard workers - happy labor day!

my job shouldn't even count as work since i don't really do anything. which makes you wonder why i don't go everyday, right? because it seems like a waste of time! and as we all know, i am so frustrated with things there, i'm about to snap.

so, i guess in honor of the holiday, and the current state of things, i'm probably going to quit my job tomorrow, if not today. i'm still weighing the option of working today and getting that overtime pay which wouldn't hurt.

that's pretty much all i've been thinking about all weekend. i've sent out about 40 resumes/applications over the past week, to places all across the country. i don't know if i really want to move, but at this point i should go where ever the work takes me.

what do you guys know about these credit consolidation companies? i did a bit of research a couple of weeks ago and it sounds like it would help, but then i found some negative things and i'm not exactly sure i want to trust someone else with paying my bills on time. what happens is that you mail your credit card statements to this company and they combine all of the balances into one payment for you and then they pay off your cards. kinda like they are loaning you money or something. the problem i see is that if you do this, then you can't use those credit cards any more. i guess that's the whole idea of paying them off, eh? i need at least one card to buy gas and to pay for some of my autobills (cell phone, netflix). the rest of them i wish to pay off and then close the account. i just can't figure out how to do it. my idea is to ask my parents for a loan (asking for 9k is a lot, right?) and then paying them back on a monthly basis as if they were the credit consolidation company. i'm scared to ask and i'm not sure if they just have 9k lying around to donate to my cause.

it sucks having adult issues on my mind. i want to go back to being a kid and worrying about what shoes to wear to school or what kind of sandwich to pack in my lunch.

dad is probably going to florida to help in hurricane recovery. mom is going to san diego at the end of the month with my aunts and one of my uncles to help move my cousin back to arkansas. i'm kinda jealous. i want to go to SD! i love SD!

michigan tore up miami, ohio, saturday in some football. i am SO happy it's football season again. oh and arkansas won by a lot too i think. we bought some football tickets friday to catch the little rock razorback games. and my brother is getting me a couple of tickets to the ark/georgia game up in fayetteville. michigan is my team, but they really don't play anyone around here so i'll take my hog games to get my fill of live college football for the year. michigan defense looks vicious and braylon edwards is awesome again this year. i just hope our new QBs can survive the pressure of the big 10. as long as we beat the buckeyes, though....i'm good :)

mike's birthday is tomorrow. i'm probably going to run and get him a pie (he doesn't like cake) but that's it for the gift department. we're going to see Van Halen in a couple of weeks, that can count as his birthday present. he spent the weekend hanging out with the guys, so i didn't see him except for friday. that's fine though. i'm trying to prove that my world does not revolve around him and if we aren't together, then i know how to entertain myself. he called me at like midnight last night to see what i was up to since i didn't call him yesterday. so neener!

i just don't feel like rambling on about him today. nothing new or exciting is happening. we're just...married or something. hah. he is staying longer than october now, which is good. he's excited about going to the LSU/UA game and that's not until the day after thanksgiving. so yay!

i guess that's all for now. i thought i was in a writing mood, but i'm really not. just worried about my working thing and my bills thing. blaah.
