| Another terrible week... what is up with my life right now?? So last week it was the massive ear infection that I had! Yesterday was just horrible. I hit major traffic (accident on the highway) on my way into work which made me 40 mins late. That is 1.5 hrs on the road. I get into work and my boss and male coworker (whom I can barely stand on a normal day) are both pissy as anything. I'm off the meds for my ears now but the infection is still not gone. So I am just not feeling back to myself yet. I get a super nasty email from my boyfriends sister accusing me of saying stuff I did not say, or taking things I did say WAAAYYY out of context, making them really negative when they were not negative at all. I found out I did not get the job I interviewed for 3 months ago that I soooooo wanted soooo bad! At least I finally have an answer now. Then we got told at work we have to take more unpaid time off in Quarter 1 2011. This is the 3rd year I have not seen a pay increase or even my normal salary. Yes I am grateful to have a job but we are always working short staffed and have a million things to get done. Lastly I get home and my boyfriends kids were at each others throats again (as usual) and we found out all kinds of things that have been going on and have to have a 2 hour conversation/lecture with them YET AGAIN! Tonight the kids at with their mom and boyfriend is going out with a guy friend. I was going to make plans to go out also, but honestly I feel like being home alone with my pups and quietly getting things done while noone is around. Christmas cards, laundry, reading my book, maybe taking a bath with a glass of wine! There is a bit of good though. Dexter made the YT Calendar yesterday so I was SUPER happy to see that piece of great news on a really bad day! Also I have friday off and (after my ENT doc appt) my Aunt & I are going for our annual outlet Christmas/personal shopping spree. We save up and splurge (outlet prices) this one time a year and just have a great long day shopping and then go back to her house and drink wine and look through our new stuff and figure out what the best deals of the day were! Last bit of good news, we finally signed the contract and January 4th we open our gas/service station business. We will be owning and operating a Sunoco gas station with 2 service bays. Lets HOPE that we make some money eventually and this all goes WELL!

Thor's Human Donating Member | Awwwwww. I'm sorry. That does in fact sound like a truly horrible day. I really had my fingers crossed for you on that job. Congrats on making the calendar! And I hope you have a great time with your aunt, and make tons of money on your business venture.

| i am sorry you are having a hard time. whenever i have a bad day i always try to put it into perspective. By the time my Grandmother was my age in Poland, she had seen her mother and father get shot infront of her (at age 16!) lived in concentration camps for year and saw many horrors we can't even begin to imagine until she was finally "sold" to a farmer where she worked like a horse in all weather in the fields and ate nothing but yams for about 4 years... Don't get me wrong, i understand having bad days! you do deserve a bath and a glass of wine from the sounds of it!!! i am just stating what i think about when i start to get frustrated to remind myself that no matter how bad things get, i really am lucky to live in the time and place that i live in and to never take it for granted I also watch this video on a regular basis to remind me to keep appreciating all that we have! too funny! |

| Sorry you are having a such a bad day or a couple of bad days. But the new venture sounds exciting. My dad used to run a service station. He loved being a mechanic and still does all the family's work on his own. Once they had 6 kids he couldn't quite make enough so he had to take a suit & tie job in labor relations but his heart has always been a mechanic. Alana -- thanks for the laughs -- there was so much truth to that. I am thankful to have lived through such an exciting time. So MANY changes! My kids have no idea! I tell them about record players and rotary phones (even a party line when I was really young)! Bet there are not many here that remember a party line!! You actually shared the line with another family. If they were on it, you could hear them when you picked up and had to wait til they were done. A time of no cell phones, no microwaves, no OnStar, no DVDs, no XBox/Wii/PS (but we had Pong!), no flat screen tvs, no Starbucks (typed as I sipped the last of my Gingerbread Latte), no computers, no internet, and lots and lots of time for talking, sledding, camping, cuddling, and board games. There were good things about the lack of technology too.

Thor's Human Donating Member | That video was hilarious! And so true. I remember as a kid that credit cards were such an inefficient way to pay for anything - the adults would use that messy carbon paper, and then everyone could steal your number off the copy. We live in amazing times. I think about this a lot on my job, as I'm a computer programmer. As fast as I learn something, it's obsolete. It can be frustrating, because I'm always a beginner. I want to master something and then stay a master, y'know? But that's tough when you're in a revolution. I read somewhere that from 500 to 1500 AD, Europe basically acquired no new knowledge. Can you imagine that? Generation upon generation, nothing is different. Nothing will be different for your great-grand children. Time stands still. Anyway, that may be an exaggeration, but the amount of change is staggering. Anyway, not to hijaack the thread. Everyone goes through rough patches and personally I believe in the power of complaint. Who knows, one day on YT someone may say, hey, I have the perfect job for you, or there's a new miracle medication out there for ear infections. Putting your problems out there can make you feel better just by venting, but sometimes when you complain, things actually get solved.
