Tuesday: Last week thursday a student from my crisis class approached me after class. As I walked down the train station steps is when he asked me what my major was and when he found out we had the same major he asked me if I would help him. Apparently he was an engineering student and transferred over and wanted to work on forensic psychology. he wasn't serious about things and put just did things half assed. In doing so it led to him dropping courses several times and getting unofficial withdrawals. He told me his gpa was horrible, and i know what that is like to have a gpa that isn't that great. He was hesitant to tell me but told me it was a 1.4 which makes me wonder what he was doing at school. I agreed to help and told him to come to the lab on tuesday and that we would discuss things. He thanked me and we went our separate ways. I spoke to Glenny from class through email telling her what happened and she told me to just be careful since she had Gizelle kinda approach her the same way but not ask her for help, just the subway thing was similar.
I got up so early on friday so i could make an attempt to get tickets to see a Perfect Circle. I managed too and spent probably way to much on the tickets but I got them none the less. Chrissy and I would talk about how we wanted to see Maynard in concert so badly but it just never happened. The only down side is the tickets I got are not near each other. I don't know what was going on with the tickets really but I couldn't get tickets near each other. Buying 2 together was not happening but 1 and then another 1 separately worked but not together. What upset me more was the fact that a ticket in 34 H was offered and then 20 minutes later 35 H was offered. I asked Chrissy if she would like to go, since they would mean more to her than to Mike but she couldn't make it due to just a lot of drama going on right now with family and friends and apparently now she has a boyfriend. It has been so long since I have seen her last that anything really is possible.
Today was honestly a mess. I knew that when I got home i wouldn't be in the mood to work on the damn paper for class since I'd be tired. So my only bet is to work my ass off on wednesday to get this shit done. I wanted to work on it while I was at the office but that did NOT happen. When I got to the office I told my coworkers that a student was coming to see me with help with his schedule. I had to tell them since last time a student was coming to see me from Dr. Lanzone's class, Rico told them misinformation and they left thinking that I wasn't there and went home meanwhile I was busy running around finishing the paper work for my internship. So I ate lunch in Mayra's office and waited for Rocky, the student. Mayra told me that Dr. Lanzone needed to talk to her about something in private and so I would have to step out, which is fine. When she came in she pointed out she needed the room and privacy. She did not look happy and looked really stressed out. I ate next to Tiffany and asked her how class was going. Dr. Lanzone came out of Mayra's office and asked me if I ever discussed my salary with Shelain. I was so confused as to what that was about but replied with "uh no." It was never a topic of our discussion. With that the two of them went back into the office to talk and then they disburse. I didn't know what was up but I saw Selma coming down the hall. We spoke for a bit about research and she went to go work on the computers. Mayra called me in her office and informed me that what happened was that monday, Shelain went into Mayra's office for something and saw my time sheet. In doing so she saw how much I made which pissed her off. She called Dr. Lanzone and questioned it which infuriated Her and caused her to tell Mayra that no one is allowed in her office and that we have to keep our coats and bags outside of her office. This fucks things up for me so much. I hang out in there when everyone leaves and Rico is going to be a dick and make sure that I am not there when Mayra leaves. He will be really strict and enforce this shit. So I needed someone to talk to and tried to get Jessica and ran to the bathroom since I had to go. I spoke to her and told her what happened and how it was fucked up. She said that it isn't my fault and that I shouldn't worry. I felt that things were really tense in the office though. I was the 800lb gorilla in the room and no one wanted me there. Rico and Shelain walked back and forth and discussed things since Shelain stepped out when most of this drama was going on. Rico told me to take my stuff out of the office and I just left it on the chair Tiffany was sitting on earlier. I couldn't wait for the research meeting to get the hell out of the office. I even felt awkwardness from Milly which made me want to jump out the window. I couldn't discuss it with her since she is friends with Shelain and she knows her longer than she knows me.
After the research meeting Selma and I ate in the diner and I filled her in as to what exactly was going on. Shelain was pissed that i make more than her since she is a teaching assistant and has been there longer than I have. I work 2 days out of the week, she works 1. The reason why my amount was increased wasn't due to me offering something more beneficial to students than her. It basically had to do with me having to earn a certain amount of money during the week over so many hours and if I was earning 12 an hour it wouldn't work out that way so they increased it a little. I don't know why she is so upset anyway she is a full-time nurse in a hospital and this is the only source of income I have. It's not like i'm sitting on a fortune and just taking advantage. I guess it seems that way though. When i went back to the lab and sat and waited for my class to start I just made believe I did not know anything. Jessica suggested it, to play stupid. So that is what I did. I will also continue to do that and hope that things just blow over and we move on. I wish I could talk to Milly about things but it will on my make things worse. I can't talk to anyone in the office about it. I mentioned it to Tiffany but that is due to her not really being employed there, she is a work study which is different. The only person I could talk to is Mobruka, but if I talk to her about it it will only start shit. She will not be happy hearing I make more than her especially since she has a masters and I don't. So I will just keep it to myself.
On a side note, is it weird that I am getting another tattoo when I got one not long ago? Well I made the appointment at Hand of Glory with another artist there to get this skull I really like that she designed on me. The thing is, I am not sure where to put it. It's between my calf and my shoulder, both on my left side. With my shoulder I feel like no one will see it unless I am wearing a tank top or I'm shirtless, as for my calf when I have shorts which is fine. Just sucks that I have a red scratch mark from where Teddy scratched me that day he had a nightmare and flipped and got me. Mia, the artist said not to worry about it as long as it is healed. I don't know, it just concerns me that its red. I am putting cocoa butter on it hoping it goes away, I might grab mederma and see how that works though I am getting this done in a little over a week. Hopefully by then I reached a definitely decision as to where I want this thing.
