She Works Hard For Her Money

The Captain lost his job today. He's been there for 6 months and was starting to get concerned because he wasn't pulling in customers and numbers like the others. No one talked to him at all about it in this time frame. His boss told him that there was nothing he could have done differently to have a better outcome.

I'll now be working more hours at the store which is great except that the husband will be out with the father in law doing contracting stuff all the time now. Which means, when I really need a nap (and lately I've been having killer migraines, KILLER) I won't be able to partake in the festivity of said nap. Meh.

Hopefully he'll find something soon. I think we're gonna end up on MA for the kids because my work is union and there are almost a dozen people in front of me who want full time.

Please let the "Life Sucks Royally But We Shall Overcome" phase begin.

"Life Sucks Royally But We Shall Overcome" - doesn't it just?

Having been "financially challenged" for the last decade, and seeing a definite change for the better in our quality of life in the last 4 years, I have to say that the climb up began once the "We Shall Overcome" kicked in. I really believe that if you let yourself get discouraged, you'll never get out.

Oddly, my finances aren't much improved (I have less debt, but make less money) now, but the jobs are more to my liking. Maybe, going after the Dream Job I'm Not Supposed to Be Allowed to Have, was the key...?

Good luck to hubby in the job-hunt... I'm sure he'll find something soon. And as for MA - hey, you do what you gotta do for your kids, right? That's why it's there.
That blows. Sorry about his job.

On a different note, my doctor hooked me up with these lovely pills that I take if I see spots and my migraines don't develop fully if I take them. You may have already tried this and it may not work for you, but it's been a life saver for me.

I am so sorry to hear this, Trish. He was in a really tough business. I know he will find something that he loves, and you will get a house, and life will be wonderful. Just have faith!

Trish, I've got the choir warming up but before you start singing...remember: it is what it is...Here I sit 4,000 miles away from the Queens english, with 14 credits towards a MA pulling weeds to make it happen for my kids...sometimes overcoming is a bitch and it seems too much to ask...Hold ON!!!!

Customer Appreciation Day

Dear Crotchety Broad, While I love my job and think it's the easiest one in the world to have, I do not think dealing with your ass was easy. Here are some highlights from my fabulous time with you: When your cashier is ringing up your precious produce, putting the codes in (from memory thank you very much), don't start trash talking her. I didn't hear you ask if I needed help because, well, um, I was busy ringing your shit up. When I look up because I heard something , don't look at me and say, " HELLO??" all sarcastic and shit. I will squish your tomatos, avocados and bread. When I ask if you have coupons, that's generally a sign that I am not a mind reader, can't see in your purse and can't predict the future (contrary to what you may think dear customer). As a refresher, here's our coversation: Loverly Cashier: Did you have any coupons today ma'am? (and that ma'am part may or may not have been choked out of my throat) Crotchety Broa...

She Was Heartbroken

After reading about Kim and Reggie breaking up, the Monkey had a moment of silence to reflect on the love that is no longer there. And then she ate part of the page. Fiber! She needs fiber ya know! She wasn't as into the Saved By The Bell article like her favorite Auntie was (ahem) but she did kiss Zack Morris. No lie. Puckered right on up and layed one on him. He hasn't been the same since.

I Can't Wait

I know of no one who agrees with me that Jason Mewes is hot. This is a bad example and this is definately NOT hot. That's ok though. I remember the good, forget the bad. I make no excuses for my taste*. For fans of Clerks , Chasing Amy , Dogma , Jay and Silent Bob , etc , check it out: P.S. I've been working 'til 11 or midnight most nights so I'm pooped. I'll blog more. I promise. Was I missed though? * Or lack thereof to some people
