Those Fucking Bastards!

They told my mom on Monday that they were going to let her stay at her job, because all the unpaid overtime balanced out the time out either sick or at the doctor or what have you. Yesterday she was fired. I can't believe they changed their minds so quickly. Bastards. They could have at least pretended to put her on a probation or something for a while before firing her just after saying it was all ok to make her feel a little easier. Even if they would be lying. On the other hand, after talking with her last night, she said she feels good about it for the time being (though she was very upset earlier), or at least she is putting on a brave face. She's good like that. She'll smile and say that she is ok, when you can clearly tell by looking at her (and the way she says it) that she is not ok. But we love her, and that is one of those quirky things we love about her. Anyhow, she is looking at the positive sides to it all. She is going to clean house and such, and then relax until her reconstructive surgery. Then she will have time to recover without worry. She said her blood pressure and stress levels have normalized already. Well, if she can have a positive outlook, I can do my best to be supportive. I still cried last night when she told me.

But speaking of jobs, I might just get the courage to apply for an internal position in my account at work. I have to have the paperwork in by Tuesday. I don't know if I have all of the qualifications, but I am going to give it a shot. I don't know why, because they probably already have the people picked out in their minds, and I have seen many a hopeful person lose hope after the process because of this.

On another note, I got mad this morning. I think my heater in my car is broken. This can't happen. My old car had no heat and it was too expensive to fix, so I suffered each winter. Until last winter, where my aunt gave me her old car. A 1989 Acura Legend with 65,000 miles...and a working heater. It worked all last winter, and even worked yesterday, so I don't understand why it did not warm up this morning. Lucky it was not super cold outside...it was in the 50's, but it would have been nice to take the chill off of my steering wheel. I hope it was a fluke, because there are other bits of my car that need attention. A new muffler, and probably some normal service like fuel injection and transmission. Those things need more attention, but I can't picture another winter with no heat in my car. Haven't I suffered long enough?

Well, I am going to finish making dinner, and wake my huggy bear up. I should just be able to say "meat" and "potatoes" to get his attention. :)



Over and out.
