Ginny, by Cliff's Notes
~Job~
So yesterday, I did twice what I normally did in sales. How much did I make tipwise? o% How many times can you say you are terribly unhappy? I mean, seriously, why pour yourself into your work if no one's going to acknowledge it?
I love my servers, I like my managers, the money could be better, but the customers are going to see what they were taking for granted when I leave. I hate feeling that way, but there it is.

~Home~
My mom is really upsetting me. When I got home, she showed up shortly after me. She then proceeds to gripe that Jamal's coming over; when I tell her about my tip problem, she tells me to basically get over myself because I'm just a ToGo person; when I let slip that I forgot to pick my check up, she totally chews on my butt.
Dad stood up for me, for which I'm eternally grateful. He told her that, even if I am just a ToGo person, people should leave something on a $2oo order; I tossed in that I can just as easily pick my check up today as I could yesterday because I'm not hurting for money, so what's the big deal?
And at that point, the same "tired-of-fighting-you-every-single-freakin'-day" feeling came back, so I just went upstairs.
What really sucks is that Mom and I used to be so close, but now...I'm just not comfortable around her anymore.

My determination to find a full time job and move out has grown again, thank goodness.

Meanwhile, we have secured a copy of a Naruto fighting game. My original intent was to train on random, and become good at every character. I've managed to become decent at Sharingan Kakashi, though that isn't going to stop me from learning everyone. My brother's got a strange attraction for Sakura, though he switches around as well; Jamal picked up on Haku, which is only annoying because S.Kakashi can't copy his special. Blurg. Why am I not surprised? ^_^

My previous weakness in fighting games was not being able to defend. I'm getting a better handle on that, but now I need to get my brain to wrap around the combo concept. It wasn't terribly prevelent in SSM that I can see, so it's a new skill to learn. Since I have the easiest time pulling off combos with S.Kakashi, that makes him my favorite currently (though regular Kakashi with "1ooo Years of Pain" would have been fun too, mwee hee). But I'm still a button masher right now. Which means I need to practice more. Ah well.

~Today~
Work. Whee. Birthday's on Thursday, and once I breeze past that, I'm ready to go all out on the full time job concept. I'll have free time to give, and it's time to show certain people that I can take care of myself, I can think for myself, and dammit, if you don't like that I'm no longer being your spineless doormat anymore, then PFFFT.
(Oh, that was mature. Heh.)

Rant over. Anger (hopefully) released. More talking to God needed--my practice with patience has sorta splurted uselessly. >>
