19 days of rain and counting....
Things not to do...
1.Don't move somewhere without first doing your homework or you'll end up living next to 90 year olds with hurricanes on the horizon
2.Don't go to Miami during "urban weekend=Memorial Day"-got called a "honky"-nice.
3.Don't get a job on a golf course during hurricane season=no work

Nothing seems to be working out. Somethings got to give.

And the heavens opened up...

Wow. I survived the scariest,loudest thunder,lightning storm in my 32 year history last night. I was just about quivering under my bed holding on to my blankie and hot pink baseball bat like a little girl. This place is CRAYZE!! No wonder why half the population cruises back up north for the summer. Tornadoes,tropical storms, and hurricanes, oh my! So I'm coming to the conclusion that my temp job as a cart girl is ending in my immediate future. Getting a job dependent on the weather may have not been the wisest decision, but this whole move has been a learning experience... I keep thinking of all those 60 hour work weeks when all I wanted was one day off in the midst of the madness and now God is literally forcing me to chill. He is busy bowling up in the Big House and just shouting with every lightning strike, "JENNIFER, CALM DOWN!!!!"

Woah. Its Rainy Season...

So. Much to my dismay, South Fl not only has an "off-season" which quite frankly leaves a bit to be desired in the job market, but as I discovered today, a "rainy" season that should not just be called rain. This is like baseball sized drops that the heavens open up and let loose, they don't just last an hour or so (from what I recalled from college, it never seemed this bad), they last entire days on end. Not good for my temporary gig as the world's oldest beverage cart girl. Not good at all.
I have been thinking so much as of late. I am not the type to just sit down and think. Now it seems as though it is all I can do to get my mind to stop. I wonder the way I ended up here, the purpose that has yet to be shown, the ever ready question in my head "what is the REASON". Frustrated. Can't find a suitable jobbie, because I'm a. either overqualified or underqualified ("how can I get qualified if you won't hire me" has been asked more than once) b.the job market is so unbelievably horrible here, that a job I have already mastered in HI pays 20,000 grand LESS here, no joke, you read right, 20 grand c. "its offseason"- two simple words I have come to hate
But alas, I am at heart Miss Positivity, and every day that I wake up and head out the door to my 10 hour minimum wage shift to get hit on by gramps all day, I shall give thanks. Because what is life if not a challenge? No one said this was to be easy. I gave up a lot to get here(friends,stable job,beautiful island) but I am gaining a lot in different ways-challenging myself to not give up, to always remember that I am not alone, and to know that there is a purpose to everything and even tho I don't know what it is yet, it will be shown to me in time...
Time reveals all...
