The universe seems to have a very unhealthy obsession with fucking over my life, and my friends, let me tell you, it’s amazingly good at it. Listen to this screwed up situation. I want to go to college in the fall, get a degree and certified in a few things so I can move on, make more money and have a really good job. Now, for the problem…
The morning classes at the school I’m going to last until 2pm, which is when I have to be at work now (2–11pm). So, there is really no way I can go to school on my current schedule, which sucks because I actually like it. Today, I was officially offered an overnight position back, which would allow me to go to school with no problems and still have time to sleep. The fucked up thing is the overnight schedule I’m offered would have me working weekend midnights and having Tuesday and Wednesday off every week. Now, aside from the fact that that schedule completely fucking sucks and I’d have to be insane to take it…I have a girlfriend, someone I love more than anything in the world, and that schedule, would mean I would almost never see her again. I mean, we could work out the occasional night or afternoon out to spend some time together, but that’s it. My schedule now is perfect, but makes school impossible. So, the last 2 days, I’ve been left with a decision…what’s more important to me, school and a better future, or my relationship? I know it should be school, a job and my future, that would be the intelligent, responsible answer. Now, you all know that’s not me, lol. My girlfriend is number one in my life, I love her and I won’t abandon my love for something like this. I’m going to talk to my new supervisor tomorrow and see if there is any way to modify my current schedule maybe an hour later on some days to work around whatever my school schedule may be. What I want is to be able to stay on this shift, pull off school and still keep my relationship. In a perfect world that is possible and would probably happen, but ya know, my world is far from perfect. Don’t know what’s gonna happen and I have no idea what decision I’ll end up making…need to sit down with everyone and talk this out, I have a few days to make that decision. I’ve said for years that my personal and professional lives can never seem to both be good at the same time. One of them always has to suck and they seem to keep switching out. Someday…I’d like a complete life instead of half of one. Too much to ask? I hope not…
