Well, it would be nice if I could actually get there... my first (paid) class was supposed to be tonight, where they cover the basics, but thanks to this stupid on-site job I've got for the rest of the week, I wasn't able to go. That's one of the reasons why I hate working on-site at the client's - there's absolutely NO flexibility in scheduling time. I have to stay until the job's finished, and that's that.
I have to say first I was disappointed, and then I was furious. Now I'm just becoming resigned to the fact that the universe really does have it in for me; this happens every time something good comes my way. Things happen to prevent me from doing what I want, especially if it's something that improves the quality of my life.
I'm having second thoughts about this whole thing now; there's no point in going if I can't make the committment, and it looks like I'm going to be working more on-site this year than before. I'm just so frustrated that this is happening now, right when I need something like this the most.
Three hours a week; that's all I'm asking for. It doesn't seem like much, does it. Hell, I work up to twelve hours a day, 6-7 days a week. And yet, I couldn't even take one bloody hour to go to a class, just because I was working somewhere where there was no time flexibility.
I swore this year I wasn't going to let work rule my life the way it has been, but two weeks into the New Year, and already, the universe is reminding me that I'm not allowed to do anything for myself.
-TD, bitterly disappointed
