Like a Chicken Without Its Head..

I just realized it’s been a month since I last posted a blog on here-not good. But it’s not because I don’t want to, it’s because I’ve been crazy-busy running around all over the place. That, and I write a blog entry everyday on www.MyLatinitas.com.
So, let’s get to the grain, I am hating the retail job right now. After two weeks straight of working a million hours at the magazine and at the clothes store, they’ve now cut my hours at the store considerably. Yesterday, I worked for 45 minutes. 45 MINUTES! They had me do their dirty work, wiping down fixtures and then my “leader” (ha!) told me to clock out. This girl, man, she talks to me like I’m a kid, not realizing that I’m probably a good four years older and a few feet taller than her too. I was really angry that I’d woken early, driven all the way out there to be sent home 45 minutes after my arrival. Sure sales have been a little on the short-side, but 45 minutes? really? After I told her this, all this girl could say was “I know, I came out here all the way from the east side of town too,” as she shook her head with disapproval. This is crap because I was the one being forced to leave, not her. Arggghhh!
I had forgotten what it was like to be a powerless employee. We’ll see I’ll give it a few weeks to straighten up, Christmas is coming after all. The holiday I dread and despise is right around the corner.

Aside from this, I’ve been offered a free-lancing gig for a new women’s mag that’s launching this December. It’s also Latina-centric which I love. I’m waiting for my assignments so we’ll see how it goes. I’m excited to see my stuff going out to my peeps in print again.

I’ve also been working on a few PR projects for Latinitas. I created a newsletter last week, and produced a video for a contest the organization is having. I’m also working on outreach for the clubs I lead, because attendance, let’s say, has been less than satisfactory.

I’m planning on  few things for next year. Looking into a few internships and still working on taking the vicious GRE. I can’t get myself to sit still and study for that darn thing. I need to focus!

Okay hasta!
