Why are there so many ASSHOLES?
The good news:
- I can take naps whenever I want.
- I can go swimming 3 days a week.
- I’ll have more time to clean our apartment.
- I’ll have more time to read.
- No more fleas.
Well, my employers pretty much cut me loose - I only found out about it by coincidence. I’m glad I called them, otherwise I’d be sitting here waiting for them to show up, starting to wonder if something was wrong. I’m not going to bother listing all of the asshole-ish things that they’ve done to make my life that much more difficult. I am pleased to say that during my conversation with the mom last night, I was actually able to articulate why their actions were damaging to me and my family, and why I have every reason to be upset. I stood up for myself, and I managed to be reasonable, relatively rational, but still appropriately expressing my disappointment and anger. It was a good balance. It’s too bad I can’t get paid for well-balanced arguments.
It makes me so angry. And sad. And furious. And sad. This is not what we needed right now.
I’d like to write about something more pleasant and optimistic, but I’m not really feeling it. There’s no denying the wonderful things that our friends and family have been doing to support us, but I can’t muster up the energy to be optimistic right now. I’m sure you understand. I’ll get it back later, don’t worry. But for now, I just wanna go lay down.
So as not to end on a completely depressing note, I’ll give you some more good news:
- My blood pressure is great.
- Fetus is doing well.
- Ian has a second interview today.
- We had a nice anniversary.
- I had some really good Thai food yesterday (thanks Anita!).
- I have a really great new moisturizer for my itchy skin (also thanks Anita!).
Think happy thoughts for us.
