Working For A Dead Horse? Not Anymore!

So I'm in my new set of classes at school which are Medical Billing and Vital Signs & Emergencies. They're pretty cool actually and I've got A's in both classes thus far, but good grief I'm struggling because I just do not get enough sleep each night -- which really needs to change or I just might collapse. :p So with the lack of sleep and my Billing class being the morning class, I have a hard time staying awake. Ha, so I'm constantly pinching myself, wiggling my legs, getting up to go get some water, etc., etc. It's kind of funny actually. I'm going to be getting my CPR and First Aid this next week in my Vitals class, so hopefully I can start applying to medical jobs now. If anything I really would just apply to be a janitor at the hospital until I'm more qualified because they do tuition reimbursement and it helps to get one's foot in the door. So I'm going to start looking into that option for sure! Thanksgiving is coming up, and I'm excited for good food and football, but I literally only have that day off because of work (I have that day through the weekend off for school, obviously). Speaking of work, today is the Orem Texas Roadhouse 1 Year Anniversary!! How crazy!!!! Haha I haven't had a job this long since my very first job. I've just always got bored and made a change. There's no room for being bored with this job, but the main reason why I stay is because of the health insurance and flexibility for school. We decorated the entire restaurant for Christmas already, so it looks like Santa threw up or bombed the place with his Elves. Ew...never mind...that's kinda gross. Lol but funny even so! I also got to play with my boss's baby for like an hour that night -- oh my goodness it was an absolute joy to hold that sweet baby for so long! :D I'm not baby hungry or anything...nope...not at all....okay, all the time. But that's OKAY! I can totally wait. Every time I hear or see an infant or child throwing a fit of any kind, that's the best birth control right there! Hahaha! So ANYWAY, the whole Dead Horse thing -- I'm reading this book called Money Secrets Of The Amish ~Finding True Abundance in Simplicity, Sharing and Saving~ by Lorilee Craker, and I absolutely LOVE this book and would recommend it to EVERYONE!! The chapter I just began is called "Dead Horses Smell Bad, But Debt Smells Even Worse" (how funny! but so true!). Anywho, I've been trying to get better at this whole "saving money" concept that I was never really taught. The whole instant gratification vs. delayed gratification thing, ya know? So this book just puts everything into perfect layman terms for me and wonderful perspective. I love it! But it talks about how if you don't save money while you're working at a job then it's like working for a dead horse. You can keep doing it over and over and slaving away and getting paid and then blowing it all (even if it's not necessarily irresponsible) but if you don't save and have something to really truly show for it then you're kind of dumb. That's quite literally what it says. Probably in better wording, but it actually calls us dumb. And by us, I (and the book) mean the "English" people. Haha yep, I concur. No argument there. ;p I'm proud to say that I've been disciplining myself starting with baby steps and I think I can give myself the proud title of being a money saver. It's obviously not much, but all those little bits at up to big chunks. :)
