I'm doing 41 things
i procrastinate entirely too much. seriously. i haven’t recieved mail at my house since decemberish because i didn’t retrieve my mail from my mailbox for so long they deemed it vacant. that’s kind of pathetic. and really, i’ve had every opportunity on my days off to deal with it, they’ve even left a sheet with their number on it to call them. it seems as though i can place phone calls to fake sick to work, but i can’t do the same so i can actually recieve important mail? that’s just crazy. i put off paying my energy bill to the point that i owed them $500 and had to go on budget billing to pay them back. i blatantly forgot to pay them this past month [started another job, things were chaotic until i figured out a workable schedule] so now i have a $300 bill to pay them [$175 a month on budget, with back fees included.] i have a cell phone that i haven’t been able to pay for since january, that is now completely disconnected, thank god my job requires a seperate business line at $10 a month, deducted from your paycheck. so i have a phone at least. i guess i just need to grow up and take responsibility more than anything. that definitely means putting a halt on saying ‘i don’t feel like it, i’ll do it tomorrow.’

when you’re semi-passionate about so many things, how do you find your one true passion? there has to be something that somehow ties everything together. music is my number one, i just can’t figure out how to make it happen.
i’ve had so many jobs, and so many of them start out with me loving them, then hating them which turns into quitting them, which turns into starting a new job in which the same cycle continues, but i always find that i miss a former job eventually.
i’ve been in sales since i was out of high school, and although i enjoy a commission-based payscale, it gets old to make minimum wage when sales are down [especially the way the economy is sliding.] i recently acquired a waitressing job [worked there for about a month now] and i enjoy it, but i still feel as though there is something else out there for me.
i always look, daily. so i guess i’ll find it eventually, i just don’t feel as though i’ve found my proverbial ‘calling’ yet.
