I find this "red dot" list to be childish, a punishment tactic meant for irresponsible partiers who can't make it to school because they are out drinking, doing coke or just too damn hung over. I have my legal and rational reasons why I can't make it at 5:00 pm sometimes. Maybe it's time to showcase them.
In case you are unclear what this red dot list is, it is a list of people who if do not come to theory class by 5, they cannot clock in after theory and lunch at 6:30 pm to take clients or gain some hours for the day. They just can't come at all. Hmmm Logical. Ever since I have been placed on this list I miss more school then ever and they still call me in to tell me my hours are slipping.
I have panic attacks or just plain fall asleep due to my work schedule. I generally get 2 hours sleep between class and work when I force myself to attend both every day. One will lose. If I nap, I miss class, if I don't nap I run the risk of fall asleep behind the wheel or sleeping through my alarm for work and losing my job is not an option, so I sleep through class. I am not going to put school above work. School doesn't feed me or put gas in my tank. This is something I have chosen to better myself and instead of being able to juggle my school and work life I am being made to feel threatened by the office that I will be kicked out because I can not attend every day. Trust me, I want to get out of there as fast as I can, but my health comes before all. At least that's another juggle.
Deep breath... I will make this work for me. I will petition my little heart out, I have decided. I have doctor support, why don't I utilize it already. If I don't get the ball rolling there is nothing different that will happen right!?? Right! So tonight I write my first email to the owner and we shall see what becomes of it. Wish me luck.
