Another Day in Paradise

So here's the update, for those who may have missed it. I'll make it as short as possible.

Back in November, I told the manager where I work that if they needed me, and if they gave me notice, I would stay for my reading week and work. I thought, at the time, that it wouldn't bother me. I stayed last year, and I was fine. Well, this year, I"m totally stressed (as shown in the last post), and I NEED to go home for the week. Of course, I go to work to check the schedual, and I'm schedualed next week, on a Tuesday, for a THREE HOUR SHIFT, and then nothing until Saturday next. No notice, no nothing. The just assumed that what I said in November stood, without asking me. So, after much discussion with the parents, we've decided screw them, I"m going home until Friday night. I'll just call in sick. They don't really need me there, they just want someone there incase it gets busy. grr. I hate doing that. I have this guilt thing, where I feel like I"m doing something compleatly wrong and unacceptable by missing work even though I'm not deadly ill, which is something lots of people do all the time. So, this is eating at me, not to mention all of the other little things... I think, if I don't go home, I"m going to be very sick from stress, but I think not going in will make me feel worse.

Anyways, out of all this, the good points got a bit forgotten. I got a 73% on an essay in English, which made me very happy, and I think I did pretty well on a test in the same class, even after pulling a true all-nighterto study. That made me very happy, even though the happiness was killed by the work issue. I got a forensic psych test back too... 54.5%. Not so great, but that was my fault. Anyways, other good stuff has happened... Good company, fun stuff... I just can't think of it right now. I don't know... I hate how one bloody wretched event can blow a perfectly good week.

Anyways, here's another list; my To Do list for reading week:

- Work on Battle for Azurah as my Magnum Opus, part of it is due Monday.
- Study for Forensic Psych test on Tuesday back
- Study for JavaScripting Midterm on Wednseday back
- Re-write bits of Shakespeare Essay, due Thursday back
- Dr.'s appointment on Tuesday at home
- Read some of the books that Sarah left me with
- Visit with Nan and Grandad
- Valentines... might send out some emails or something
- Write some short stories
- Read King Lear (again), Timone of Athens and the other Shakespeare play for class

And that's before I catch the late bus back Friday night in time for my shift on Saturday. Grrr...

Anyways, I'm "sharing" some music with random people online (wink), and I'm looking for recommendations still... Bands, songs, music videos, or Flash Animations that I should have would ROCK. Leave them in the "Comments" section. I"m going to try and sleep tonight, I think. We'll see how things go.
