Back to.... Boring

Well I'm officially settled in to normal life again... kind of. Enough that I no longer have crazy van life stories. And not enough that I've had much room for any fun crafts. I'm caught in between. Mostly because I can't afford to spend money on the several projects I'd like to get done for my personal space. So for those who follow.... things are pretty boring here. I moved out of my car finally. Live in a house. I have a tiny room off the kitchen. It's really quaint though and I love it. After working obnoxious hours at the roadshows I bought my first bed. I'm a big girl now. No frame but I have a mattress and box spring on the floor. Which are some lovely hardwoods by the way. My room even has a chair rail but it's mostly annoying cuz I'll sit in bed and bonk my head on it. I have a few things up on the walls in my room and bathroom but not enough for it to even be kind of considered finished. And after the roadshows finished my fundage came to a hault so no nightstands, floor lamp, bed frame. etc, etc. I did just start a new job. It is exceedingly frustrating. I feel entirely undervalued. My equals are 19 year olds who text and do zero work and ask me how much longer til I'm done doing the work. That's not even an exaggeration. And oh happy day I make 75 cents an hour more than the 16 year olds I "direct" for lack of a better word. I'm above them but it's not like I give them assignments really because generally they know what they should be doing. It's pretty simple. I'm noticing my boss seems to trust me more to get things done as she leaves me alone to get things done more and more but I like to think $8 an hour is a bit low for what I'm doing. Especially in comparison to my co-workers. But when you've worked somewhere not quite a month I can't imagine it's appropriate to ask for a raise. Don't you think?
