Valentines Day.
Valentines Day usually starts to show right after all the Christmas decorations deminish. By January 1st there are at least two or three shelves devoted to V-day candy and goods in any store you go into. I ignore these movements. I didnt even really acknowledge "The Day Of Love" until it was smack dab in my face. I made my family cards at 10:30pm-ish the day of Valentines. One hour and a half left to celebrate the holiday and im making cards. I got gifts and candy from my family, which I enjoyed fully. I just wasnt really in the holiday spirit, for this particular holiday.
No, its not because I am single. In fact, I wouldnt have it any other way. I enjoy the notion that when I wake up I dont have to please someone else. I dont have to worry about fighting or relationship problems. I just wake up, pounce about, go to work, do other activities of my choice, and go to bed. Its just as exciting as it sounds. I like it that way though.
The holiday is over. While other people are sad, because they are single and not getting over sized teddy bears on this day, I am happy, because I am not getting over sized teddy bears. So it all works out, for at least me, in the end. Gotta think of yourself first, right? RIGHT? No.
I hope you all had a lovely Vaginal Disease day, and I wish great things for all you lovers out there. Death is at the top of the list.

6 days of work.
Every week my schedule has been made up of 6 days of work. 6 days! Now I know there are women out there, and men, who work more hours then me. These men and women are usually parents. I do not own any children and I dont have any immense bills...yet. I work just as many, if more, hours then one lady at work. This lady has 4 kids and a household to run. Why should we make the same money? Why should i be working the same length of hours as a mother? Im a 19 year old girl, and sometimes it seems like when I go home 5 kids and a husband are going to magically appear. Im 19. I do not have a husband nor kids. Dont want them at the moment. I just work like I do.
One good thing I can say about working 6 days is a decent paycheck. By decent I mean over 200 dollars. I should be getting paid double that, for what I do. Ill take the 2 hundred though. I only have to pay minimal rent and no other major bills. So I do have the chance to actually save some money. Its a good thing. I just wish I made more money and could work less hours.
A rant is a rant, I guess. Just needed to let some thoughts out on here about my work. Do I feel better? Possibly not.
