trading one time waster for another

[simplyn2deep]

I have an election training today. It's going to take up about 7 hours of time. No, the training isn't 7 hours, it's 2.5 hours, but since I'll be on the bus, I need to give myself 2 hrs travel time before and it'll probably take 2 hours travel time after to get home.

Now I could save 2 hours if I can get my mom or dad to drop me off (then I can also get lunch beforehand), then I'll only have to worry about getting home. eta just asked if my dad can drop me off there. nope. it'll be cheaper to take the bus, which means I have less time to help them move stuff from the apartment to storage. Don't bitch at me when we're "not on schedule" anymore.

The point is, this 7 hours, or even 5 hours if I get dropped off, is taking away from time that I could be packing and moving boxes...but if I don't go to the training, then come election time, I won't get paid for working at the polling place, and that's $175 I could really use.

In other news...I think I'm going to start packing up the clothes in my closet. I'll start with the stuff in the back on both sides as those are my moms or sisters things. I don't know why I have their stuff in my closet and every time I ask, I never get a straight answer, or I get, "That's not mine" and when I suggest giving it to good will or the Salvation Army, I'm told no.

Nathan tends to just do what he wants with my old stuff lol it certainly cleared up lots of space. Maybe you should just donate their stuff. Honestly if it's been THAT long since they've used it let alone looked at it, it's not needed. It took me awhile but I finally realized those things. Certain things like mementos obviously are different, but clothing...if it hasn't been used in longer then like 6 months its just collecting dust, and someone else might actually use it is what I started to figure.

Wow, $175 for working the polls! That's pretty awesome. I really should have signed up for that. I don't know why I didn't.
