Good News For People Who Love Bad News

If there is one thing about living in a small town when studying that I can't stand is the lack of work there is to get when there is a holiday...just like this one. Summer holidays are the worst for students in small towns. Espesially students who can't just up and leave during the summer months, like me. I've got a small child, so I can't go to one of the bigger cities to work for a couple of months so to speak. Unless I go see Little F's dad, but we tried that last summer and it didn't go so well, but that's another story...

This is why I've only managed to get extra work in a coffee shop at our local airport. Sounds fun to some, except the fact that in order to keep that job I had to get a car (cheap, of course through B, the guy that unfortunately fancies me, who I don't fancy back) and my daughter has to go to 2 different nurserys, one during the day and another during the night. It's very common to some people, but those people should also know that that sucks for our children even though it is necessary for us to make our living. I'm not complaining about the nurserys, the nursery teachers are brilliant!!! I just think it sucks that's all, that my child is the one that suffers because there aren't any jobs available for single parents...

I do like working in coffee shops and such because I like the social bit, even tough I tend to h*te customers...weird huh? But at airport cafés I've found that people don't have the time to whine about this that and the other, they just want their coffee before their plane leaves, so it doesn't suck too bad... =D

My boss still confuses me though. After a week of him moaning and sighing at the sight of me, he's now started to compliment me?!?! Now, how weird is that? I'm still not sure if he's being sarcastic. I don't think so, but one can't be too sure.... hmmmm......

Back to the bit about the car. So, it leaks gas, big time. There was a big lake under the car this morning when I was going to use it, so I had to call B, who I haven't spoken to properly since that night. A tiny tad unfomfortable.... I still don't know what's wrong with it, but we'll see. Hopefully I can drive it to work soon.... It's a bit of a trek really...
