Adventures of today

Took roommate for his written test to get his driver's permit to practice driving to get his driver's license and hopefully get a better paying job. He wants to go into construction or engineering that requires that he drive a business truck. He applied for construction and electrician apprenticeships, but he can't get hired without a driver's license. He can't get landscaping jobs jobs either cause he has to drive a large lawn mower or a snow plow. So he is stuck in fast food places he keeps getting fired or quit cause he wants to cook, but not work the cash register. Fast food manager insist he does both. He applied for dishwasher at restaurants, but no interviews. He applied to gas stations, and no interviews.

He failed the test. He is furious because the multiple choice answers mean the same thing, but worded differently and he kept picking the wrong answer. He is so disappointed he is never doing that again, just won't drive a car and bike everywhere. He passed the practice tests, but this test wasn't like practice tests. So once we got home he screamed obsentities in his room and got high. That is how he handles disappointment, gives up and gets high.

Later when he is high and calmer, he wants to go get a video game switch. Didn't he sell the game switch his friend sent to him. Yes, but he has his own money to buy a new one. OK. Take him to the store and he grabs the one his wants.

Then later he wants me to go get candy. We could have gotten this candy when we got the game switch. Storm is coming. Do we have to get candy now? Guilt trip of the dirty house and all he does for me and when he asks a favor, I say no. Ok, we can get the candy at the nearby gas station instead of driving all the way to the grocery store like he asked. Wind blowing and tree branches are all over the street and I am scared of popping my tires. Return home and it's raining. There is a huge tree branch in my driveway so can't get into the garage. He moves the tree branch and parks car in the garage for me. Need my sleep tonight cause I have to get up early for work. Sigh. Please heaven above please let me win a sweepstakes jackpot, sell rights to my stories, or find a better paying job. I really hate working at this hotel. I'm so stressed and consumed with depresssion making me tired all the time. I just want to leave hell.
