My Brother Finally has a Job!
Apr. 26th, 2010 12:28 pmMy brother got a job yesterday! He just walked into this food place/hot dog-type place and asked about a job and they asked him for his information right on the spot and hired him! He will be working 20 hours a week for now and even though he can have as much food as he wants, he didn't eat anything there yesterday (he's trying to lose weight -- he was eating a lot due to boredom and possibly medication). He is working in the back right now, making pizzas and doing dishes and after he is allowed to drive himself (after a month) he might have to occasionally do deliveries if the delivery person is busy. That's the only worry I have -- he has a bad sense of direction. My mother and I didn't even know this place did delivery (we go to this place all the time, though I don't eat from there now since I'm mostly a vegetarian and I don't like their pizza). Because it's a small business they had less hoops to jump through and they didn't make him take a urine test (like I said, he gets anxious about those and can't pee when he has to).
He's been taking his medication regularly and now he's going to be on a more normal schedule of being awake (working from 9am-2pm). I really hope this works out for him. He is so much better and sane on his medication. He hasn't been mean to me at all lately -- I just think he's lonely. He lost his friends due to his drug problems and bad behavior, but he's been clean and his medication helps him a lot. He's bipolar, like me, only rapid cycling, I think. (That means more than 4 major mood changes a year). Tomorrow my mother and I will probably go to the outlet mall for me to buy her her shoes. I will have to get up earlier for it and we'll go after dropping my brother off for work. I may see April on Wednesday, then Thursday I have my check up for after my surgery, then Friday I probably go to Michael's house. We will probably then go to the zoo Saturday. I'm going to try and get more done today than yesterday. I was still really nervous and anxious and upset yesterday. It takes a little while for me to settle down after problems.
