I just went completely off on my family : I feel FREE now ...
Advertisements [?]
Ok here is the deal . I work a 2nd shift job which involves me standing on my feet for 8 1/2 hours ... but when I get home the work does not end there . I get home at around 1:30 am but there is more work to do when I get there because no one knows what the word " clean up " means . I constantly had to come home from work to dirty dishes , actual knives used to spread mayo or butter just left on the cabinet , to all the food completely eaten : pure laziness . I sit stuff to the side for me to quickly eat when I get home but its always gone . But the real drama is the things that occur when I get back into my room . Coffee cups left on the floor , sometimes kicked over leaving stains . Plates left on my bookshelf - they won't even use the big sack of paper plates or plastic cups ! Both my mom and little brother do these things : which a shame . I understand my mom is tired from her work too but still , how would she react if someone did these things .

And then there is my computer . Nearly every night I get back home and cut on my computer and I see my 11 year old brother has used my computer ; instead of just going to Start->Shut Down , he just completely hits the switch to my power supply and pulling it out the wall - this leads to a slow death for the hard drive . This has happened ever single week ! This is not the family computer , this is a computer that I bought with my money . But I tried to share , that did not work . Sometimes I have to do computer CPR for 10 minutes for it to boot up again . It happened again last night along with everything else and I just went off , I got sick of it and all the stuff that my mom and my little brother does while I am at work . While I am yelling at him about my computer I plainly told him " If you can't follow simple shut down instructions then you are not to touch my computer . " I tried to be nice letting him use my computer but enough is enough . But of course while I am telling him this , she is always calling my name first like I am wrong . I spend at least 75% of my day before going to work in the evenings cleaning up the house , washing dishes , washing clothes - I have zero time for myself . When I was 9 years old , I had to have the dishes washed in the house or all hell breaks loose . But my little brother does absolutely nothing at 11 years old . NOTHING AT ALL ! Not a thing . I am so sick of cleaning up after everything while working hard each night , I can only take care of myself . And every cent that I earn I don't spend - it goes straight to the bank for safe keeping and for my own place , and once again everyone always comes with their hands out for money , no matter how good I make because I am 24 years old and I am trying to make it along with going to school - would'nt you want your 24 year old to do want to make it while working AND going to school at the time time ? Now was I wrong for reacting the way I did ? I am just tired ... I never get any rest because I spend more time straighting up cleaning than working on myself ... sigh ... Thanks for reading this if you did , I just had to vent ...
