Well that’s a pretty odd time to begin writing, but I guess it’s gotta be pretty lucky. Time has moved relatively swiftly today. It feels like it isn’t even time to go to lunch, but it’s really almost time to head out of here. I spent most of my morning working on the paper for my Intro. To Chicano Studies course. Sadly enough, I am falling into my usual slacker routine and am just now working on everything the day before it is due. For my mid-term I had to create a map of what the US would look like had it not been explored by someone who’s intent was for conquest, and then write a paper about it. Another good thing that happened today, besides the fact that it has gone by quickly, is that I finally received a security pass. YAY! That means no more waiting for someone to open the door for me; it means no more people looking at me strangely and asking questions when they don’t know who I am. Most people know what I look like because I was always the girl without a pass, but there were a few here and there that didn’t know me.

In other news, Rory got let go from Direct TV and spent all of last week training for a new position through Wackenhut. The crappy part about all of this is that last week he was only paid minimum wage for the training; this was for training that he should never have even taken really. He had already done the training before and has been working for Wackenhut for the past few years, but they decided that they would teach a class instead of having people learn out of a book, and because they changed that procedure, they made him re-train. The other crappy part is that the site he is at now is paying him $2.00/hr less than what he was making before. At least his hours aren’t too horrible. He is working 2pm-10pm M-F; these hours aren’t as good as what he had before, but they could be worse. He had the option of going to another site that paid just as much as he was making before, but the hours were crappy. Plus, he felt that I would be uncomfortable with the fact that it was a site where a chick whom, he fucked once, works. I would have dealt with it even though it would have been a bit comfortable, but I really like the fact that he was so considerate about the whole situation. All in all I think that, even though it sucks that he lost his job at Direct TV, somewhere underneath it all it was a blessing in disguise.

I also feel bad because Rory’s car is having problems again. At least we were able to get it into the shop yesterday. Hopefully they will have it done by tonight; I have my parent’s van for the day, but I think my mom will need it back by Wednesday. I told me dad that he sold his VW bug a few days to soon because I could have driven it for a few days instead of leaving my mom without a car all day; especially with the way she has been feeling. This weekend I found out that my mom goes in for testing on July 1st; they think she might have uterine cancer. It’s not for sure, but they suspect it’s a possibility. I was a little pissed at my mom for not telling me about it herself, and for not telling me sooner. It was my dad who leaked everything out. I really hope it’s not cancerous, and even if it is, I hope it’s in the beginning stages and that she will be ok.

There has been a whole lot more going on, but I’m not really in the mood to type anymore. Maybe more will follow later. I don’t know. I haven’t been one much for writing lately. Especially with being sick and all. Blah, Dan Akroyd sucks, I caught his damned cold!
