New job

So I recently started a job at a place that I really enjoy shopping at. They told me that there is a credit card. I have to ask the customer until they sign up. They call it the 3 no's. So basically I have to ask them to sign up for the credit card until they absolutely hate me. Awesome. I was getting pretty regular hours (10hrs) until like last week. I got ONE Sunday shift for 5hrs. They highlighted my hours in pink and said that it was due to my IC performance (Instant Credit applications). To date I have only gotten one credit card because I don't feel comfortable asking. So since then I have continually gotten just one shift per week on Sundays. Cool.

Is it just me or do you hate shopping at places when you know that the girl at the register is just going to sell you a credit card until you finally say no three times.. I don't understand why companies insist on associates selling their credit card! I think it should be about customer service. Does the associate relate to customers well? Not, does the associate convince people to give us all their information so we can charge 24% interest.

So of course, I have like umpteen bills coming up and like zero money saved up. Example, my car insurance is due on Oct. 10th and its $850!! I got a darn speeding ticket and thats $175 due on Oct. 16th. I have 240$ I spend my money on gas to drive to Columbus for school. I drive there once a week but thats about 26$ / week. Not including all the materials I need for school. I cannot wait to get a real job.

Which brings me to this point, I am so nervous about finding a job. Like OHMIGAWD. I can't even find a good retail job! I also feel like it's because when I get a design job I can show how much I am worth in work that I have done for a company. In retail it's their way of doing operations.

Transformation

On a complete whim this past Monday, I decided to start p90x. Literally, I just popped in the Chest and Back DVD then from there decided to actually go through with the program.

For those of you who don't know what p90x is, Beachbody.com is the first place to look. This is a link that is directly to p90x. Its an extreme home fitness program. They aren't kidding when they say extreme. I have just completed my first week. Unfortunately due to my extreme soreness I wasn't able to do Day 6's workout (I had it such that I was going to do the legs and back workout but because I work a retail job my legs were already shot from my 5hr shift.)

My schedule is such that my Tuesday is my off day. (because I have class from 9a.m.-8:50p.m.) Broken down here is my Tuesday

Drive downtown at 8a.m.
Graphic design III 9a.m.-11:50a.m.
Drive to Columbus, IN  (it's about an hour-ish drive)
Digital Production 1p.m.-4:50p.m.
Drive downtown (Dinner? In the car while driving)
Portfolio Prep 6p.m.-8:50p.m.

Obviously I am exhausted by the end of the day and there is no way in hell I am doing a work out.

So I have my next 96days mapped out in this little pink notebook, by the end of it I will be in the best shape of my life (due to p90x) and I will have my degree in Graphic Design. YAY.

All roads that lead to success are uphill.
