I just can't say how excited I am that school actually started again. I was deathly sick of working in the sun at the Insurance Auto Auction. I honestly thought that I was going to get brain damage standing in the sun for that long burning my head.
I'm not going to say that it is the hardest job in the world, because it by far isn't. There isn't much stress involved or much thinking. It was good for my Physical appearance, not that I needed any help, but it was like working in a Sauna everyday sweating off the pounds.
I can say that I am glad to not be cutting up my hands, arms, or elbows from the glad and the razor blade scrappers. I sometimes think its a bad idea to give me a scrapper or a knife because I always end up cutting myself. It seems that I just don't know knife safety or something. No matter how many times I cut myself I still do it again and again. I am careful, but I just an KLUTZY.
So since school started today, I had my first class Fluid Mechanics. Interesting? I'm not sure, it seems something I can learn from but we have a long ways to go before I actually see if this is something that I like.
Do I have enough money to buy books or anything at this point. NOPE. I actually requested a Short Term Advance from my loans today so that I could buy books and pay my rent at the end of the month. Now, normally this wouldn't be an issue except that my loan money is going to be delayed up to a month due to something called a professional judgment form. I would explain it but my fingers are telling me to call it a day.

Monday - Back in Orlando
Well I'm back in Orlando, I can't tell you what a relief it is to be back. Even with Heri talking down to me everyday I just was happy to be back.
To get into that, Heri is the guy that I initially had to report to for the Temp Sevice on the Auction Days. Since I was asked to Stay for the Summer and work Everyday and not just durring the auctions Heri is no longer my boss, Jeff is.
I haven't yet determined it but I think it is possible that Heri has BiPolar disorder. The reason I say this is because one minute he is in a good mood and the next his is just yelling at people. I try to stear out of the way when he gets like this. Anyway, sometimes for no reason at all he gets snappy at me. I don't really care that much as I know he isn't my boss and I just shrug it off. Monday Heri started telling me I was some sort of bad driver by saying that I needed to drive really slow and be really careful. He said that he has had some sort of complaints about my driving the auction bus. Know I know he must of mixed me up with someone else because I drove the bus only one time and it was over a month ago. No one had said anything about it before and I know that if I had driven improperly I would have been told back then.
Either way I just said ok and when on with my Job. It just always remind me of the time when he did something and blamed me for what had been done. He says that I impropperly wrapped some vehicles and I needed to do it again. I said OK. I went out to do the vehicles and these were all vehicles that I have never touched but I didn't say anything.
The same thing happeneds later when he asked me to do something because I should have done it before... according to him anyway, when it was actually his job to do it. I just let him blame me for his mistakes and fixed what ever it was he was talking about.
Well for monday it was pretty overcast all day and rained a little. The weather was a cool cloudy overcast 92 degrees and felt almost like AC compared to the other days I had last week in the Blaring Sun. I spend most of the day just helping others do stuff so the day went by fairly quickly.

So Hot I almost Passed out
So hot today as I almost passed out in the sun. I was using a heat shrink gun to wrap up the cars that needed some tightening in the yard when I started to get a serious headache. At this point I was sweating profusely from my back and head, so I decided to take a few minutes break from the heat.
Every time I think about all the things I could have done to avoid this type of thing start to seem like the things I should have done. This summer I could have lied my way to full-time employment by telling everyone that I was looking for a regular job not just a temporary job.
I have never had any problem finding work before this summer because I have never told people I was only looking for temporary employment. This summer I have something to do that really sucks but I can be honest about my needs to go back to school on August 23ish.
Why is it that telling the truth has caused me more grief then telling a lie and then just quiting later burning the bridges? If I would have lied I would have ad a job months ago indoors, doing collections work or something. Now that I have explained that I'm planning on going back to school and really don't want a permanent job, I get to almost pass out in the heat on a daily basis.
