| Where are all the gumdrops? |
| Friday, December 21, 2007 |
Isn't it supposed to rain lemon drops AND gum drops? So why did it only seem to rain lemon drops today? I can't complain too much after the great day I had yesterday, but it was quite a frustrating today. I called to check on my disability and they are still dragging their feet. They are waiting on extra medical records to approve my claim. Come on already! I've been out of work since November 12th so could you please get your act together and pay me already? Sometimes the financial strain just gets to me. I found this great apartment, but can't apply or reserve it yet, because I have zero dollars...as in completely broke. That happens when you have medical bills out the wazoo in the same month as Christmas, with no pay coming in. Savings account = $0.
 D has been very frustrating lately too. I know he is just being a man, but since I'm an emotional wreck it would be nice if he could be a little more sensitive. *rolling eyes* Men!
Well, I'm done venting for now. I'm watching Jeff Durham the ventriloquist on Comedy Central...OMG he is hilarious! If you haven't seen him, you should. And very talented.Labels: bad day, Damian, disability, Jeff Durham |

| Oh the Woes of Life |

Did you know worrying is a sin? I guess it makes sense, but I never thought about it. I'm learning how not to worry. Easier said than done. Life isn't dealing me the hand I had hoped for. I'm trying to find a way to beat a flush with a sorry hand, and not sweat it.
If you've been a long time reader (and by long time I mean 3 months) then you know my boss and I don't have the greatest relationship. She has done some pretty shady things in the past to both myself and other co-workers. Most recently she wanted me to fire 2 employees that I didn't feel deserved to be fired. She just wanted them gone because she wanted to bring in her own crew. I very respectfully explained that I was not comfortable firing them "her" way. Meaning, I'm not going to fire a girl off maternity leave stating we don't need her anymore, and I'm not firing a single dad because she doesn't like the way he keeps his cart. At any rate, within 3 months she had worked her magic and fired them anyway.
In this whole process, I have had several promotions snatched out from under me, though promised to me, and did not get my annual raise. Now, if I deserved it, I would understand, but we are "tested" within the company, and I personally have the highest score in her entire region (approx. 40 employees). On top of that myself and 2 other managers took the CAM (Certified Apartment Manager) course in November, and I am the only one of us who passed it.
So what's up now? Well, Damian has been painting for my apartment community since he returned from Texas. He painted for us prior to moving to Texas, and then again during the summer months he spent here. I had it approved over a year ago that he could paint for us. So when he returned, he began painting again. But today, she emailed me and called my maintenance guy and told him Damian was to stop painting immediately, and could no longer paint for us. She said that because of our relationship he could not work for me. Crazy how it didn't matter 11 months ago, or even 5 months ago.
I have this gut feeling I am next to be canned. And based on my gut history, I have been right about her every time. I'm batting 1,000 when it comes to figuring her out.
My plan? Stay on disability for a while. :) She can't fire me when I'm on disability, I am a protected class. I have a doctor's appt tomorrow, and I'm going to ask my doctor to keep me out of work for the next 3 weeks or so. This will give me time to look for something else. And since I live where I work, this means I have to find a new home too. Oh, the drama!
Well, mark the date, because I'm positive something will work out, and I'll be better off for it. And be sure to remind me of this next time I whine or worry.Labels: disability, job |
