Really, Regina?

I overslept Monday and was an hour late for work. I wish the world would just be ok with the face that Regina does not always wake up to her alarm and will sometimes be outrageously late.

I work ALL of the hours the other supervisors at my job do not want to work: evenings and weekends. So in many ways I kind of feel like my occassional tardiness is nothing compared to me spending every weekend sitting at work while they get to have normal weekends.

It does not help matters that I do not get paid a living wage. What kind of an incentive is that for a timely arrival at work? I guess the incentive is implied, ie: get to work on time or stop receiving any kind of paycheck, even a crappy one.

I bought a new laptop Monday after work. My reasoning being that I cannot be expected to find a better job if I am searching on a computer that does not always work. Hopefully this will really motivate the old job search rather than just get me hooked on watching youtube videos all summer. Fingers crossed.
