I'm back home, my little trip was good though. I'm a little bummed out about it because there were a decent amount of people who were feeling a bit under the weather and the boy needed some space to think and work things out for himself, which is understandable. So needless to say all the things I was really hoping to happen didn't get to happen, we weren't a big active bunch. It was still good though we did get a few hours of frisbee in yesterday and a few people joined me out to the bars last night for dancing. Otherwise it was really chill and laid back.
Sadly today I'm feeling a little down, which is my own fault cause only you can make yourself happy it just depends on how you look at the world and the situations at hand. So for me right now I just realized I'm only able to get 24hrs of work a week at my job, I live in a very seasonal town and right now we are heading into the low/off season. Well 24 hours a week at min wag does not equal acceptable for me, especially since I'm working 5 days a week and only getting that much so it's not like I'm only working 2 or 3 and just need to add on another day, it's just that the hours at this place are shit and it's only going to get worse.
My boss from the Mt. last winter told me to apply for supervisor positions for this winter, and I did some time ago but haven't heard anything about them since, so I'm not sure if they are just running slow on deciding or if I'm just out of luck. In any case most of those jobs wont start until late October or November.
Today in hopes of fixing my lack of hours thing and wanting a more steady job I checked in to see what the plans were for this autistic guy I take care of, because at the moment I could take over all the days that they need someone to help out and I'd be doing slightly more hours with better pay, that and they prefer me helping out since he is very comfortable with me and we get along well. Right now they are trying to get him to add another day at this opportunity connections kind of place where they try to pare him up with odd jobs and bits to do, but they don't know for sure when that is going to happen. When it does happen I wouldn't have enough hours anymore which just taking care of him. So sadly that wont work out for me right now. :/ So I get to try and juggle the two for the time being.
Then there is the whole I'm still living here, which I do love this town and I love being here, it has most of the the outdoor activities that I like to do, but the crowed at this town are 35 and older, and I'm still in the young 20 year old crowed. So I really miss having social opportunists with people around my age.
So needless to say I'm not looking at all this in the best light so I'm feeling kind of down today. I've been trying to think of things that would help bring my attitude back up because I don't like feeling this way, but not much is exciting me right now.
Maybe tomorrow I'll feel a little better.
