Welcome, December. Man am I happy this year is almost over. Hopefully it will mean I am thisclose to beginning grad school and even closer to leaving job x. It's Monday, and that means the late shift at my crappy job. Gotta be there at 2:30, so I still have some time. I haven't mentioned this on here yet, mainly because I don't know what to do about it-my sister in law's father found a job for me. It's in a private school in Brick as a computer teacher, which will allow me to work 3-4 days a week, with the option to pay into benefits. The job is mine if I want it, since they really need someone. My brother and sister-in-law have made their home available to me the days I would work there, so that's great and I wouldn't have to commute over an hour every morning. Obviously I also want to start grad school, and I don't know the final decision because I have to interview hopefully this week at the school. Anyway, I wanted to find out the decision before making a decision about the job, because it would be difficult to do both, unless I knew my schedule for work and classes. I mention the job yesterday to one of my family members, who later in the day tells another family member, and the latter family member decides to attack me and basically question why I would even consider the job. That really pissed me off because it has nothing to do with this person. It's my choice to make for something I need to do-work in my field. I still haven't made up my mind about it and say this, but I'm still questioned because it "doesn't make sense." I guess I know why I wonder about my confidence so much. People shoot down my outlooks by overemphasizing the negatives and not even seeing the positives for me.

Anyway, fuck that shit. Bengals won another awesome game yesterday, shoving it right up Pittburgh's ass. Next week is the battle for the AFC North. On a related note, Kim asked me if I thought the Bengals could get to the Super Bowl yesterday. After initially smiling, I realized that lately in sports, anything is possible. Remember the year the Pats won the SB, Rob? Who was in the SB last year? Oh right, they're both awful this year? Cuse won the NCAA, the Marlins won the series, the Spurs won the NBA. Stranger things have happened, but I'm not going to get ahead of myself. If they made the playoffs, that would be simply amazing in itself.
