Working, working, working!

 Lol, no I'm not really going insane, but sometimes I feel like I am as I have been working non-stop at Burger King.   Things have been slightly crazy at work, enough to make me go nuts.  On Monday night, one of my co-workers got into trouble when he fixed the Burger King marquee, took a picture of it, and then posted it on Facebook.  I will not tell you what he put on the marquee as it is something I cannot repeat (yes, it was that bad).  The manager found out and boy did he get in trouble.  He was put on suspension with the possibility that he might get fired.....he ended up quitting. 

Another night, a customer wanted to add something to their order after they'd already paid for their meal.  They wanted to add a chocolate pie, however, we are not allowed to add onto a person's order once they've paid for one order already.  If we did this it would hold up the drive-thru and keep other customers waiting.  So, I told him that we cannot do add-ons, he would have to either park and come inside or go back thru the drive-thru again and order the chocolate pie.  Would you believe this guy started cussing me out over this , cussing over a chocolate pie.  He went on to the next window to pick up his order....the manager told him the same thing....we don't do add-ons, so go thru the drive-thru or come inside to get the chocolate pie.  Sigh, he drove on in a huff. Oh.....and did I mention the drive-thru customer who took two minutes to finally order something....he ordered an Icee, yes, he took two minutes to order one little item.  Ugh, why can't people use some common courtesy and know what they want BEFORE they get into line at the drive-thru?

Well enough of that, lol, I will be working most every night this week as well except for Wednesday.  It's crazy/busy but it will definitely make for a big paycheck for me.   My two online classes are going fine and I am making good grades.  Thankfully I only have one assignment due on Tuesday for the Paralegal class.  I also have some assignments for Expository Writing but they sound easy and are not due til later next week.  I will be having to write a comparison/contrast essay, I will be comparing/contrasting my two older sisters, lol,  they are different as night and day.  This assignment will be easy since I had to already do similiar essays when doing my high school work.  My mom has always been one to make us do the composition assignments in our schoolwork, even though I balked at doing it since it was not an easy process for me to put my thoughts on paper.  She always stressed the importance of needing to know how to write papers because in college they will want you to do papers.  I guess I can say I am glad she made me  stick with it because I eventually got better at it.  So now it's easy to do! 

Before I sign off, I want to congratulate my sister Catlover(15) and my youngest sister Puppyprincess(10)....they both placed in a blueberry contest today in the youth category.  Puppyprincess placed 2nd place for her Blueberry Upside Down Cake.  And Catlover place 3rd for her Hidden Blueberry Cake.  They each won a ribbon and a cash prize.  Way to go sisters!

Hello world!

 Hello world, here I am on Blogger!  I used to be on Homeschoolblogger, but now that I have graduated homeschool things are changing.  I am a homeschool graduate who is ready to take on the world, lol....hence the title of my blog, "Taking on the World". 

Now that I have graduated, I am continuing with my job at Burger King and with my studies at community college.  Right now, I am taking two online classes for the summer.....Expository Writing and Intro. to Paralegal Study.  The Expository Writing is one of the English credits I need.  And, while I don't really need the paralegal class for my major, it sounded interesting to me, so I am taking the class.  While I was still in hgh school, I took many dual-enrollment classes at the community college, so I only have about a year's worth of classes left to take.  I will be graduating with an associate's degree in Business Administration.  When I'm done there, I plan on going to Bible college to earn a Bible certificate.  After that, who knows where the Lord may lead me.  I have various interests such as basketball, history, reading, government, and politics.  Right now, I think I might want to get a degree in restaurant management and start my own restaurant.  Lol, this is no surprise to my family seeing that I LOVE to eat all the time.

Along with work and college classes, I am hoping to go to summer day camp one last time.  Having played basketball with a recreational team for the past 4 years, I had attended basketball day camp last summer.  This summer, they have both basketball and golf day camp during the same week.  Hard choice there since I like both, however, I have not actually played golf....so I will be attending golf day camp this time.  My dad has a set of golf clubs he used to use but now I will get to use them.  I also will be going to attend overnight camp in August.  I have not ever been to an overnight camp before because we could never afford it before now.  I am really looking forward to this as there seems to be a lot of fun things to do there.  It will be kind of like having one final "hooray" before I start back to attending Fall on-campus classes at community college.

That's it for now, I have to work all this weekend plus I have some college assignments to do too.  Have a great weekend!
