Gag ME!

I started a new job yesterday, and quit four hours later. This may seem slightly flaky to you all. I can see the little thought conversation bubbles popping up above your heads as I am writing this. These bubbles are containing thoughts such as, "Yep, that is typical Helen, not wanting to really work." or "Oh that crazy Helen, she is such a slacker. When is she going to learn to suck it up and just do it?" There are many more I know that have been thought. But, ladies and gentlemen, I am here to assure you that these thoughts (though once upon a time they might have been true) are ridiculous! I will now proceed to tell you about the worst job ever!

I thought that I was qualified for the position. I was going to be working with adults with disabilities. No big deal. I have done various jobs of this sort for the past four year. I have done everything and seen everything...so I thought...

I was going to be working in a house full of guys. I was scheduled for the graveyard shift from 11 pm to 9 am. INTENSE! But I assured myself that I could do this! I am a big girl and I have gotten accustomed to putting my big girls pants on.

I went for my training shift, and that is when it all crumbled at my feet. I don't even know where to begin. My supervisor had made it sound like I was going to be working with someone and that the house was an easy one...uh no...I was going to be working alone with Men who had serious problems. (Sexual problems, among other things) I was starting to panic! There was no way I was going to be able to do this!OH MY GOODNESS! I could hardly breath! It was so awful, not to mention the longer I was with the house manager, the more I realized she was a genuinely horrible person. I have never heard someone swear so casually ever! I know swearing seems like such a little thing but when accompanied with dirty jokes it is the cherry on top of a rotten banana split.

The kicker was then when I realized why they had me sign a disclaimer stating that I was not allowed to sue the company for any psycological or physical damages that I may incur while working for them. They mentioned to me that one client was sex crazed and could get violent if not stratified...so I should watch my back. UMMMM...no that's not happening.

So, needless to say, I am looking for a different job. ugh...I hate job hunting. I have applied for a position down at reams to work in their bakery. It would be a pretty sweet deal.

Oh boy, I am still in shock about everything...ugh...I just can't believe it. Wish me luck and maybe say a prayer that I will get the bakery job. It would be pretty amazing!

Garage Work

I am writing this blog to you live from the Wilson's garage in Salt lake City Utah. I know I am that cool. Mostly I was cleaning out Doug, my car. I was listening to pandora when I decided to get on to facebook and check something out real fast. When I noticed a ridiculous trend...People getting married at such a young age.

I would like to take a second and have an indepth talk with you all about this issue.

I love the church and I believe with all of my heart that it is true. I would love to remind you all that it is in no way church council for individuals to get married so young. I have never heard a prophen bust out and say, get married right after your mission or girls get married as quickly. (Not that I have much room to talk, but I would like you to know that I have learned from my mistakes and now see the folly of my ways.)

I am not against marriage, I would just like to remind you that in american society we don't fully reach maturity until around the age of twenty five or twenty six. I know it is an insane statistic but 100 % accurate I assure you.

Being single is one of the best things that has ever happened to me. I love having the independence of not having to worry about another individual or about any little kiddies. Few...I am doing just fine with enjoying my nieces and nephews. I get them when they are happy and pass them back over when they need something other than fun.

Okay, what brought this on is a couple of factors. On facebook almost every group I have joined has been a "WE ARE GETTNG MARRIED YAY!" Group. Congratulations to you all, I am very happy for you. (The one exception to this group is the "I bet this pickle can get more fans than twilight" group, it seemed like a good cause.)
But if you are younger than 23 you are being silly. Most of you don't have a clue what is going on in the real world. The other thing that brought this on was that I just joined another one of the wonderful groups and the title of it was " adam and heather are finally getting married!" (names have been changed to assure privacy and discresstion) Umm...Im pretty sure I went on a date with this boy in April. WOW! They have been dating for so long...ummm...not.

What is wrong with Mormon Society? Why can't we seem to not date before getting married? I know that every mormon young adult lives in fear of "messing up." But im here to tell you if you play it smart there is not need to worry. Pay attention to what has been taught to us and it will all be okay. The plus side of this is that you will actually get to know the person before you marry them. Hormones aside! YAY!

Alrighty then, so In conclusion:

1- Boys, I knwo the 18 and 19 year old girls seem great but don't go trying to raise yourself a wife...give her sometime to grow up.

2-Girls, stop freaking out if you are older than 20 and not married, take sometime to grow and learn and become independent. Remember that school is for learning and not for finding a husband. Don't make that your focus.

3-Lets all try dating for more than a month before getting engaged...I think this sounds good...

There you have it. If I think of anything else I may just come back and add it.
Excuse the typos and errors. I have to run to the grocery store! Happy Dating!

Home...

I have now moved home from Logan. I almost cried as I was leaving the city...almost. I have loved my time in Logan and all that I have learned there.

Being home is and adventure. Mom and I are trying not to kill each other. It is going rather well right now...we will see how it is in three months. I hope okay.

I am lamenting the loss of friends. I don't really have any in slc anymore. Sigh, I will make some right? I hope so. sorry it has been so long. My life is a wreck right now! I have things everywhere!
