I think this is the best i have felt in a LOOOOONNNNGGGG time. It feels incredible waking up in the mornings and decide if you want to sleep in or not or even deciding on what to do through out your day. I'm not used to this freedom that i begin to feel as though i have to eventually go back to work. This morning i woke up thinking i have to take my bro to school but then i realized it was sunday so i tried to go back to sleep.
I'm really excited about this coming friday because there is going to be a fashion show at my old high school and my ex-art teacher invited me to check it out. I'm so excited to see what kids come up with this year and it better be good lol.
Yesterday, my cousin, my sister and i went to a job interview at Cerritos mall for Forever21. They are hiring for everything so i went for a management position. When i was being interviewed, the lady didn't even bother to look at my application and turned down my application. She said i was not qualified because they need a year or more of management experience when i have 2! So i went ahead and summarized everything for her and made her feel stupid. She then told me "by the looks of things you don't have experience at the register" and again i told her it was on my application in which i have nearly 3 years of experience as a cashier. UGH! she really pissed me off.
In a way i didn't want to go for it because my unemployment check would be higher than working the minimum wage job they had to offer. But i have ALWAYS wanted to work at forever21 and i was kind of bummed out at the fact that i was stuck in a situation in which i had to turn it down. I don't care if the lady didn't want to hire me, but how can she insult me by saying i'm not experienced enough? if anything i'm OVER experienced. Whatever though.
I came home and started posting some stuff on ebay to sell because well... i have to sell the things i have because we can't afford our place anymore. I will have to move back with my mom or rent out a room somewhere. Guess i will go back to square one. But that will give me the chance to focus on my career instead of trying to land a job that won't get me anywhere.
I'm 24 and by the time i'm 27 i want to have something rolling, i want to be married and have atleast one kid. At that point, then i will know i'm on the right track.
So on my last day at work when i dropped off the key, bitch ass doctor made me sign a paper stating that she paid me the OT that she took out of my payroll without my consent. To my surprise, two days later, she stops the payment of the check forcing my back to bill me for the amount she wrote out to me plus a $10 fee. Close to $50 that i had to pay the bank. $50 that i need for bills and especially now that i have no income! That shit pissed me off, so i called a lawyer and explained my situation, till this day i havent heard anything from him and it has already been 4 days. So i will report her ass to DIR (Department of Industrial Relations) and they will ask her to pay me the money she owes me.
She will not just have to pay me the $50 i had to pay the bank but also and extra hour of work for everyday i didn't have a lunch at my regular pay rate. So i'm looking at $3,000 or more. Now this is the confusing part as well... i also didn't take a 10 min at any point of my day so she also has to pay me an extra hour of work at my regular wage for that. If i understood right, that is a total of 2 hours per day making that a total of $6,000 or more.
If she refuses to pay, we will then go to court and present evidence and witnesses. I have my paycheck stubs, i have a couple witnesses, and she broke the law by removing pay from my check without my consent, and not providing a written statement with both of us agreeing that she will not give me a lunch but she will pay me the extra hour not worked making it up for my non brakes no lunch days.
So she's really stupid for digging a deeper hole for herself. Hopefully it all works out for me and things go well.
Love you guys! Thanx for the support!

I'm sending lots of good vibes you way and hope your sitch starts getting better. I know the money issue is stressful, but try and enjy every moment of free time you have. You deserve it.
I hope you have a lot of fun at the fashion show.
What in the hell, did you tell the lady off? If not you should have, you should have been, well I have more experience then anyone working here, can you not even read, if you could you would have seen it on my application.
Well it doesnt sound like you are wanting to focus on your career, sounds like you are wanting to focus on getting a family, you didnt say that you wanting to be doing what ever kind of work by the time your 27, which if fine, as long as that is what makes you happy.
Go you, get that bitch, she cant do that to you, she will learn to not fuck with peoples life like this.
