Well well well.. Work's been going good. I've been there for a full week now. There's a lot of new faces.. some oldies still there though. Everyone seemed to of missed me though. I guess!! I think I was getting a lot of the negative speakings from this manager, Jen. And yes, I was a bitch to her. But not without my reasons. She was a bitch to me, and everyone around her. And I'm sorry, but I don't care who you are.. boss, or no boss, or if you're rude and degrading to me and the people around me, I'm not about to be nice to you just because you're above me. I don't care, no job is worth my self respect. Especially a waitressing job. I haven't really ran into her much though since I've been back, so it's working out pretty well I guess!! The main reason I wanted to go back to work is because I have some fines coming up to be released off of my 2 probation cases. I have to pay $500 by the end of January, and $2,000 by the end of August, in 2008 of course. My mom would pay them, but I just don't feel right asking her for all of that money when she's going to be helping me get all new baby things. Anywho, since I started working last Monday, I've made a $200 payment on my probation fine, and then today I ordered some baby stuff. A swing, a diaper bag, some blankets, and one more pack of NB onesies. I'm defanitly set for clothing items until she's 3 months. It just feels good to be doing this stuff myself. Hopefully I'll do good at work tomorrow and Wednesday, and can make atleast another $100 payment on those fines before I go back to see my PO. I finally had to decide on the graco pattern to use for Jaycie's things since I purchased something today. I like the 'jonelle' pattern thats sold at walmart, it's also the cheapest, but it has a lot of little flowers on the main pattern material that I'm not too crazy for, but the only other pink graco pattern is the cherry blossom and it's about $150 more for everything I'd need to buy, and I don't like the way the bassinet/playard is. It has a little hood cover I guess, and thats where the toys are attatched. If you pull this out though, you can't see in because of the diaper changing station on the other side. So I wouldn't feel comfortable with that. Anywho, I decided on the Jonelle. It's best to save the money, it's only cheaper because it's an older pattern, and doesn't have maybe 1 or 2 things I think the baby and I can live without. And I like the little mobile on the jonelle swing anyways!! Anywho, hope everyone is doing well! luv u guys
