Dear Journal,

This have been going pretty well considering I am starting to balance 2 jobs its doing ok. Crack of early mornings are no fun when everyone else is just going home from clubbing. I tried to ask someone the time. That was a mistake. I don't know if he was drunk or trying to pick me up and drunk. He was a bit too talkative. Its like talking to my family. My Dad will still be talking after I walk away. I can still hear him up the stares so if he does ask me to get him something it will be fine. I guess that's why they say don't talk to strangers. People don't follow it cause they like yelling hello out the windows to strangers. Even the Martins bread man does it. I find it funny. The first time it happened I laughed.

I do better when I'm busy some reason. I can get more done. I get better grades when I have more credits then less. I guess its the pressure of knowing I can't sit on my laptop and watch a full movie. It's kind of nice to pick what we eat for dinner instead of eating the same old crappy leftovers from the week before. I guess its a part of being ADD and keeping myself busy.

I guess its mean maybe not but I saw some hot guy at my new job and he was supper tall like my friend. I wanted to go up to him and be like what do you weight. Then call my guy friend up and be like you should aim for this weight. But he was really tall . I'm above average and he made me look short sad (no s**t right).

I think my friend would be willing to go on a date with me someday. Whenever we get around to meeting. He's kind of weird with his reasoning for things. For example he wants to work two jobs. Ok, I get that cause I do to. But he works one full time plus over time and one part time . Now here's the fun or confusing part. The full time job with overtime owes him over 100 hours in over time. If there not paying it now what makes you think the full time job is going to pay it later or when you sue them 6 months later? Its not like the company is broke (they are) and will pay him when the company gets the money. Of what he describes the boss it doesn't sound like he's that kind of person. Why let the company take advantage of you? If you know they just screw you over and over again why allow them? You have a right to say no. No one is forcing you? What are they going to do they can't fire him because who will work nights then? Just say no. He's doing all the hours to save up for when he has his internship. He's going to have money coming in from unemployment that pays most of the bills not school bills though. Still I think he would have enough not working overtime he's not getting or might never get paid for . Why go through the trouble?

Here's bonus note . He had extra food that was going to waste in his fridge so I was like why not drop it off in your break room? His reasoning was those who take keep taking and those who keep giving keep giving so there was no point in giving it to the greedy bastards or whatever he called them. Yet he's nice to his evil boss. So that's a contradiction. And he insists he's not a hypocrite. That kind of thing confuses me about him. I've been meaning to ask him about this. Maybe he'll end up reading this.

PS. I don't see how allowing your boss take advantage of you has anything to do with living on your own and how I wouldn't understand it because I never moved out yet. SO you let your boss take advantage of you for money you'll never get because .....? I asked someone who has and It makes me believe its just a judgment call. Weighing negative and positive issues and finding whats best for me always works for me. Its beyond me why he doesn't. For all I know is his reason will be because I said so or he'll use some other s**t I can't argue that have nothing to do with the topic again . All I can do is ask him.
