so its been a while. not a whole lot has happened in the past month. i got a new car finally! after my car broke down the last time the mechanic told me that my car was going to keep breaking down and when i told my mom that she said it was time to get serious about a new car. i dont remember if i told yall about my mom and me going up to a new car dealership about an hour north of us but things went downhill with that. she didnt feel right and they were acting really shady so we decided to do business in town instead. a little over 2 weeks ago we went to talk prices with the sales man. well they pretty much tried to rip us off and make us pay about $20,000 for the car and on top of that they only wanted to give me $500 for my car as a trade in. well my mom and i told them they were crazy and that we were only going to pay $17,600 for the car and if they couldnt give us at least $1,500 for my car then we were going to sell it for way more than that. they told me to bring in my car the next day so they could look at it and see if they could give us what we wanted for it. i brought it in, they looked at it and test drove it and they said they could give me $1,500 for it and that they would give us the car for $17,700. so i told them my mom and i would think about it and left. the funny thing was when i was leaving the dealership after they checked out my car my glove compartment broke. i just laughed and thought it couldnt have happened at a better time because the car wasnt mine anymore. well 2 weeks ago on friday we signed the papers for my new car. we put $2,000 down which all of it was my money but $400. all my mom did was get a loan from the bank, put $400 down, and signed for it because im not 18 yet. the rest was all me. i earned that car and it feels so good. im so proud of myself.
the only other thing that has happened in the past month is that im beginning to realize how much i hate my job. i hated it before but now we have a new GM and hes trying to change everything. i understand that we need to change things because we arent exactly rolling in the business but its too much at one time. for instance i now have to stand outside and be a hostess. they try to tell me its less stress but honestly im more stressed because i have no idea what is going on inside. im completely cut off from the restaurant. i honestly dont even feel like a hostess anymore, what i really am is a bathroom director because the stupid people in the mall cant look in front of them to see the sign that the bathrooms are around the corner. i dont even have to think about it anymore when im asked it just comes out. its so ridiculous and im thinking about applying for other jobs because my job is driving me crazy. all i know is i need to have a job either way because i have a car payment that needs to be paid. i hope i can get a new job im really unhappy at the one i have now.
