Word of the Day: panoptic
I'm so frustrated with everything.
To sum up last week: Patrick got his first ear infection and was bitchy until he got some medicine, but now he's more better. And JD got fired for something so stupid, it makes me mad every time I think about it. I just want to go to Hobby Lobby and beat the manager's ass because he's an idiot. My grandad came down and saw me and Patrick on Thursday and my mother and him were here when JD called me and told me. So that was a bummer. I sill haven't heard anything about Patrick's new health insurance program, and he has an appointment on the sixth. If nothing comes in before then, I don't know what to do.
So now JD's unemployed. I'm so glad he's out of the hell hole that is Hobby Lobby, but it's going to be so hard until he gets a job. I think he's going to be getting unemployment [to hell with any principels I have left, eh], but that's like child support: not extremely helpful. Not only do I now have Patrick to worry about in general, I have to worry how JD's doing, if he's ever going to get a job, etc. Praised be Jesus I didn't send in that mega car payment that was our tax return.
Along with JD's more pressing job hunt, I'm trying more and more to find another job for myself. I applied at UHV for an admissions analyst position, but I haven't heard anything so I'm expecting the 'we're sorry, but you're not good enough' letter that I'll rip up in utter frustration and rage when I receive it. I also applied for a teller position with Wells Fargo, and they emailed me pretty much the same letter, which I would have ripped up in utter frustration and rage if it'd been on paper. But I mailed off an application yesterday for a billing clerk and am going to fax it today for an admin assistant, but the horizion is dim.
Life is suffocating. I hope it gets better someday.
-addendum-
JD had an interview this evening with Best Buy. It was only a pre-interview [?]. They were interviewing people, and then they'll go over the interveiwees with the general manager, and s/he'll pick who to interview and hire, I guess. It calmed me down a bit, however, knowing that at least one place responded. Also, I'm hoping he not only gets a job, but gets on the Geek Squad. And not because that's what he wants, but because of the uniform.
*shudder* Mmmmm, fantasy.
good luck with everything to you and your family, ash. I'm sorry you're going through such hard times.
You are a good person and JD is a good person, so I know that things will work out. Everything happens for a reason, and I am sure that beyond these troubling times, there will be something greater than what you entered with.
If you need anything, seriously, let me know.
i got fired for not clocking out for lunch once. and id worked at the company for nearly four years.
im sure he'll find a great job. this'll pass, too.
anyway, i know it blows and im sorry. and i hope you dont have a sinking feeling in the pit of your tummy.
let us know if we can do anything to help. i will. and scott loves you, too.
And Geek Squad? I share your sentiment on that uniform and the whole idea of it in general! Yum!
also, scott was offered the geek squad job. the thought of him driving the nerd mobile or whatever its called made my smile.
i hope JD gets it. gooooooooooodluck.
Sorry I haven't been writing much or commenting enough. I am a tool.
I will try to do better.
Thanks for the get well wishes. Take Care....
