my new favorite drawer!

so i have to admit that the last couple of weeks have been pretty rocky. i knew what i was in for when i came home. i was home for the grand total of 40 hours and then i decided it was time to leave. that's when i headed for wichita to see my sister and her baby boy. it was the first time that i had ever seen the baby, and it was the first time that i had seen my sister in a year. while it was great to see them, my anxiety over finding a job had reached a breaking point. i knew that i had to come back to iowa to get a job.
there are two jobs here that i hate, but i know that i have to do them. i just have to have a goal in mind. i do these jobs because i have to pay for school, and because school and friends are important to me, and to accomplish school and to see my friends i have to work these two crappy jobs.
so i've been working in the factory for one month and one week. it's been kind of stressful because tom, the manager is really cranky sometimes, and it's always so hard to tell if he's in a good mood or not. i usually just shut up and do the work, but with him breathing down my neck i feel that i can never do the work fast enough to make him happy. so to make him happy i talk about three things: music(more specifically 80's music), politics, and morals. yeah, that's about all that i can do to help tom. when we talk about morals mostly he complains about us complaining about life. so now i'm pretty sure that i could blackmail anyone at the factory, only i decide just to listen.
my other job hasn't started yet, and due to the floods of this year, i don't really know when it will. i work in the cornfields, and i'm personally hoping that it starts the last two week in july. yesterday was the last day that farmers could plant their crops and not have a total loss. they really should be able to plant, but insurance companies are being the real idiots here. they could probably plant all this week, but the insurance companies say no, so it's thanks to them that we're gonna be short this year. like i said i haven't started yet, but i have been in an intense game of phone tag with my boss. we've both called each other twice, but neither of us has talked to the other. Yay! great fun! hopefully i can talk chad up a couple more dollars. that would be nice.
so i'm sure that you are wondering about the title of this blog and it's coming right now. my grandpa is visiting right now, and we hid all these treats in a drawer in the kitchen. i didn't think that he would actually make it out here because he could probably die at any time. he has prostate cancer, and the treatments stopped working. he used to have to go to chemo every week, but when it stopped working, we took him off. one of the last things that he wanted to do was to come out here and see my family. i've never been so happy so see him. it really means a lot to me that he want to come. anyways . . . the drawer. i happened to stumble upon this drawer early today. when i say today i mean yesterday around noon. i wish that you could have seen my face as i looked into this drawer. it's full of little chocolate bars and reeses peanut butter cups. i was pleasantly pleased to see this, and made two chocolate bars part of my breakfast. today was a hard day at work, and when i came home i opened up that drawer, and saw that it was full of chocolate still, i was happy yet again. point one for the home front. SWANK!
yeah, i'm really mixed up on my days. my days start around 11 am and go to 5 am. i sleep from 5 to 11, and i take a nap around 2. so when you read this, think of my time and maybe it will be less confusing. if not oh well, better luck next time. peace out kids! it's 4:30 am!
