Hey all! This past week's been super busy. I was hoping that after school, I'd get a rest, but this is my 1st 40 hour week since this summer, and I'm so not used to it yet. >.<

Brag: I havn't had fast food all week. I've packed my lunch evey day, which has been a problem for me lately. And I get to go grocery shopping tonight, so more healthy foods to enjoy tomorrow. :)

Desire: To find more presents. I think I'm almost done with my mom, but I've hardly gotten anything for my sister or dad and havn't found a thing for my boyfriend. I love this season, but thinking up gifts for people is hard work!

Gratitude: Even when I have a tough, busy week, you gals are here to come to and celebrate the good things in life, even when things can get a bit hectic. :D

Dear Santa,

My best friend (ex best friend now, I guess) hates me because of my mom's decision, 90% of my friends are unemployed and unhappy about it, and my sister has to work on Christmas, 20 hours away. I hate my job and am wondering if it's because the environment or the career field itself. I'm stressed because I don't think my grades will be good enough to get LH and am sorry I told my dad it was a possibility, because I'm afraid of disappointing him. I've spent way too much on Christmas and am no where near done.

I hope I can count on the liquor of your choice Christmas morning?

Thanks,

Foffles.

:/

Dear Foffles,

I'll see what I can do.

You're Welcome,

Santa

 Dear Santa,

Thanks. Your usual glass of milk and 'special' assortment of cookies will be by the door.

Foffles.

Finally, the perfect occation to wear my tattered, torn to shreds, covered in dirt prom dress! >.<

Dear Santa,

I am applying for employment in your establishment. I believe I would be well suited to make toys, care for reindeer, or any other holiday chores you may require. I would be willing to work for minimum wage. Although it would be a pay cut, the annoying little buggers in your workshop have got to be better that the high pitch whispers of the woman in the cube next door. Concidering the lack of people who would be willing to move to the freezing North Pole and the lack of job market where I live, I believe this would be a possitive buisiness venture for us both.

Thank you for your concideration,
Jen

P.S. If I can't get a job, could my coworker atleast lose her voice?

Dear Foffles:

Unfortunately, like most businesses today, mine has been severely impacted by the economic recession.  Therefore, my factory is not currently hiring.  I will keep your application on file for one year, however, for future consideration.

However, I would suggest you pursue other endeavors as the outlook here is not optimistic. 

Yours truly,

Santa

P.S. In the future, please proofread your query letters.

Dear Santa,

I understand that everyone is struggling in the current job market. However, you produce all of your goods in house and the size of your customer base has not seen a significant drop. In fact, I have heard that many children will be getting less from you this year, so I have to wonder if you are actually profiting from the economic decline?

Either way, if I don't get to enjoy this holiday season without the high pitch squeak of my coworker, I will be forced to give up my position on the nice list in order to achieve my desired holiday wish.

Thanks again,
Jen

P.S. I assumed you would be fine - and possibly more comfortable - with the questionable grammar of a sleep deprived college student considering your average correspondent is 12 years of age. :P

-Was updating my journal with my winter schedule. >.>

I listen to pretty much anything. Not big on genres without lyrics (clasical, jazz, annoying rap >.>), but anything else.

My favorite band is Doug and the Slugs, but most havn't hear of them.

Lately, I've been fond of Ingred Michalson, Mandy Moore, Reba, Katy Perry, Ace of Base, Kate Bush, Jessica Andrews, Shania Twain, Kings of Leon, Lady Antibelum, M2M, Bo Burnam, Kiesha Cole, Avril Lavigne, Skye Sweetnam, The Decemberists, Tegan and Sara, Laura Marling, Sixpense None the Richer ... or whatever's on the radio.

Nancy: I live in the Dayton area (Xenia) so not too far. We moved here in 2000. :) And awesome job on the 1000 calories burned!

hth: Thanks. :) And I hope you enjoy your 5 day vacation! I know I'm defiantely looking forward to my 4 days off. ^_^

Brag: My sister requested off for my graduation. So I'll see her in June at the latest. ^_^ Hopefully, we'll see her sometime sooner, maybe the week before school starts.

Desire: To stay focussed.Part of me wants to leave early today, but I know I shouldn't. Just a few more hours...

Gratitude: That I have a job in which I can choose my hours. That I have a job at all with how much people are strugling right now.

I agree with most people here. Age only matter if you make it matter (assuming you're both legal, of course). My boyfriend is a year and a half older than me, which is really not much of a difference... I think it makes more of a difference now (21/23) that it will when we're older. One of us being legaly able to drink and the other not wasn't a problem.

It does get a bit annoying when he says 'That was before your time' on the rare condition... it may be toublesome to someone who actually in a situation where that is valid.

I think it helps that I'm a little more 'settled down' than him. I'm ready to get an apartment and think about kids and a house. He's more into getting an appartment and hanging out with friends. Part of that could be because I'm getting ready to graduate and he's still got 2-4 years of college to go (on financial hiatus until Spring or Fall).

Nope. Probably around $30. >.<

TPBM has done some Christmas/holiday shopping.
