School, money and me, oh my!

Just found out today that I qualify for an unsubsidized loan.  If I take it, then I'll owe about 8,000 as of right now.  On the other hand, I can't really picture how I'm going to pay for school any other way.  So...I guess I'll be taking the loan and selling my soul for the next several years.  Is a BA really worth it?  I hope so.  I wish I could quit Walmart right now and just concentrate on school, but I don't think that will happen.  However, I got a coaching today becuase I've been absent 6 times since Oct.  Yeah, pesky little things like a bad back and stomach flu will do that to a person.  They told me if I get 7 absences then it is grounds for termination.  So, yeah, ok.  I guess I should just start looking for a new job, sigh.  Oh, well.  It was nice having insurance while it lasted.

Walmart will fire you for being sick 7 times? Yeesh!

Yeah, they started a new absentee policy in Oct. If you are absent three times, you get a verbal, if you are absent six, a written, and if more than six, it is what they call D day, where they decide if they want to keep you or let you go. It sucks, big time, but they get to make the rules. Ah, well. I'm hoping I can a job either on campus or across the street at Lowes, lol. Still, Walmart is the devil.
