Over a month

Well one month has gone by since my last post. Not much has changed. Every step forward is followed by two steps backwards. I am dissatisfied with my current state and every attempt to change such state is met with great resistance. My supervisor at my current job broke his leg. So now on top of picking up his hours between two other people, I also get to make schedules and do all the office paperwork that he used to do and my other coworker is unable to comprehend.
I don't understand. I am a smart person, I love to do hard work, and yet I am working a barely over minimum wage job. I guess I always figured good things happen to good people, but I seem to be disappointingly proven wrong at every aspect. Good news is that working 60 hours a week will actually allow me to work with a budget that is somewhat closer to actually living.
If you have never tried to live on a budget let me tell you it is one of the hardest things. It is easy to stay under budget when you only have that much money... because you cant over spend. The hard part is determining what are the priorities and where the small amount of funds you have should go.

If you havent heard of it you should check it out. Dr. Horrible's sing along blog. I know what you are thinking... "not a chance" but it is really funny and has some pretty famous people in it. I laughed in great quantity.

Good things don't just happen, even to good people. You have to make things happen yourself.
