I don't know why I even still do this
Seems like have a pretty strong opinion on a lot of things. I just don't really have the time, or make the time to get on here and talk about it. Working 50-55 hours a week in a restaurant eats up most of my time and when I am off I am pretty physically tired. I am no wimp but working on a concrete floor just messes with a person. And dealing with people who just don't care, or are just out for something free wears on you as well. And I don't like the job as well as I thought I would, I can do it just fine, but it really doesn't make me happy. I don't see how people work for years and years in a job they don't like. So, it seems like the logical solution is to look for something else. I never really wanted to stay in the restaurant business anyway, nothing else came along when I really needed it. Believe me when I say that I am very grateful to have a job at all, and in general it is just fine, I just don't want to keep doing it until I retire.
Next topic. Alan and I bought the girls a "new" car. It is a 1999 Subaru Forester with (gasp!!) 199,900 miles on it when we bought it. It has now rolled on over to 200,110!!! It is a nice little car that drives like a dream. I know a new engine is coming, but we got it cheap just for that reason. And Subaru's are pretty safe and that is one of the main reasons we bought this one. I spoke to the lady who owned it before us and she really hated to let it go, but she drives an hour to work and she didn't want to get stuck on the road. I figure that even if we have to replace the engine "soon" it will end up being worth it. Everything inside it works and the brakes and tires are good. The back window wiper doesn't work, but that too can be fixed. The pressure it relieves by not having to drive everybody everywhere everyday makes it well worth having it. Oh, and the girls are excited too. Not their dream car but it is a car.
