I'm glad he came over and you guys talked. You get so upset with him because you adore him - when you feel such unending passion for something, the smallest blip can send you off. Sometimes Kat doesn't come 5 or 15 minutes early for me at work and it infuriates/devastates me because I'm like 'I'd be waiting in utter glee at being able to see you again, wtf, why don't you seem as eager' but it's just sillyness.
You love him and want him to be as head over heels for seeing you as you are for him. But I don't think it's that he's not just as eager, I think other things might factor into it. Maybe some nights he just wants to sit at home and play games to de-stress. I found this article on the subject an interesting read.
It's not illegal to give part time employees 40 hours without benefits, because most companies offer benefits as an option and not a reward; to receive medical coverage or vacation hours, I have to have worked with the company long enough, and medical I have to pay for out of my checks. I do get vacation hours by August though n_n I turned down medical this year cos I'm too poor for $30-$60 a check. (And technically, I'm 'part time' but I get 40; I scramble to cover and trade shifts often to accumulate more hours.) It is illegal to work an employee who specifically says "no more than such and such hours each week" to management, because some people can't work too much due to medical conditions, disability payments, or simply due to child raising or moral views. (A woman at my store who works in another department wants no more than 25 hours a week because she does not want to overthrow her husband's financial superiority in the household, as she views him head of house. Good ole fashioned family structure. n_n)
(My breaks aren't included; I'm at work 45 hours a week cos my lunches are a mandatory, unpaid hour each.)
However, for example, my friend Eric only wanted part time hours, but because he was an awesome employee they gave him 40 every week. He went to Human Resources and told them to give him no more than 30 because he didn't want to work so much. They tried to argue with him, but he got his way and the next week he was at 29 hours.
"Part time" in larger companies is no longer a reference to how often you actually work. It just means you're entitled to less hours than "full time" employees, but you may get them anyway.
Go to your HR office and complain. Don't let it go. They'll continue to work you like this all summer. gonk
@Cassy: Drinking is only fun for the person consuming the alcohol. It's always awkward as hell to be the one in the backseat - literally or figuratively - to someone else's drinking. =(
Good for you for making the choice to not get back in the car when he drives irrationally. Better safe than sorry.
Also, you give good advice and your view of his needing to pull up his pants is so completely on target.
I'm sorry your female cousin (we need names so you don't have to keep saying 'male/female cousin' lol) has to bicker with doctors and suffer like that. It's such bullshit because you always hear about people finding out their own ailment long before doctors come to the right conclusion or are even willing to test it. I hope things go well for her.

Naz is so wise. :3 Yeah I am going to see what my schedule is for next week and if it is more than 30 really I'm going to say something, talk to a manager about it. The money is not worth the stress it puts me under- if I wanted extra money I would make paintings and art stuff and try and sell that, but since I don't have bills and such right now it just seems unnecessary.
Austin also came to visit me at work today on his way to class. n_n I love him.
How are you guys doing, we gunna roleplay tonight? I want to log on and post some, yeeeeah. After I eat like tons and tons.

Well, most things are waitin' on your post, doll. The wind here is making my connection slide in and out, so most pages aren't fully loading (drop-downs aren't coming up at all, so I have to use history to get to forums) and I have work at 7 AM because I'm covering a shift. But whatever comes up / gets posted in I'll post for. n_n

We are considering kicking Jorma out and letting my mother move in next month. We have much more space and are more stable than the last time we tried sharing a roof. Plus, laptop when she's at work. X3 And an agreed $100 every Friday, a total of $400 a month as opposed to Jorma's sometimes $220ish. But Kat and I are still considering it. I need to decide by the fifth so I can be nice and give him a 30 day notice. n_n
He's gonna be a b***h about it, I know he is, but whatever it'll be 30 days of bickering and then no more man pubic hair peppering his entire bathroom, no more getting ******** over in finances, no more irritating side comments. Ugh men suck.
Cos the way our trailer is built, the bedrooms are the ends of the trailer; the two smaller ones are in front, and our master bedroom is seperated from them by our laundry room, the kitchen, our living room, and a small hallway. Even the living room is kinda cut off from the two other bedrooms. It's a perfect divider line. It's more like next door than the same house XD And I think that'll help.
But, like I said, much more discussion is needed.

Last day of work, holyshit. Checks and schedules should be out today, too, so if I see too many hours someone is going to get talked to, and some poor sap is going to take some of my shifts. ******** that place, man. I'm afraid because they asked me to work Saturday and I said I would. If I am working all six days (I always mark Friday as unavailable) I am going to be so pissed. It's like no one looks at the schedules and is like "Oh this person is working 5-6 days in a row, maybe we should give them a day off in between." NO.
*grumble mumble*

I hope all that really works out for ya, Nny. Also, if you're not wanting to work(And I know you kinda just automatically say yes because it's kinda nerve wracking to have them ask you if you can work to begin with) you might not want to take the shifts they offer because that makes it look like you want to.
Like, you get brownie points with whoever asked you and the next time another shift comes up like that they'll prolly ask you again. That happened to me at Wal-Mart because I didn't want to say no and have them mad at me or think I was a bad worker. S'just easier to take the one anxiety instead of both, ya know?<33
Also, the last five minutes of my drive home to take Jess to work sucked a large, salty load. I'm still shaking.
I'm pretty sure my license is null and void because of that ticket, right? Also, I never have car insurance, like ever. AND my tags run out after Monday.
I'm driving along, sweating like a biker bear in a f** burning Baptist church because of the heat, minding my own business, neh?
I notice a cop sitting out in one of the drives by the highway, since I have to take the highway for five minutes to get home because it's the only detour to get to Naz's work. They're working on all the other roads, so there's literally one way I can go that doesn't have me doing a big circle to get there.
Anyway, I see the cop and I'm like, "That's a sneaky spot."
The ******** pulls out and I'm suddenly very aware of how shitty this can get.
He sticks behind the guy behind me, and I think I'm off the hook, but I'm not. When I get to the left turning lane, which already has a long a** line at the light, mind you. He follows me, is right ******** BEHIND ME. I had to sit there for four ******** minutes hoping and praying to God that he doesn't turn his little "wooo" lights on.
So, we're starting to move, getting to turn, make the turn and he's STILL behind me. At this point I think I'm ********. He's gonna pull me over because of something stupid like my not having a side mirror on the passenger side or because the door is ******** up and he finds it suspicious and then realize he has a jackpot ticket and will probably arrest me because it would be my second offense of no insurance and no license.
(The first was because my FL mail never got to me when we first moved up here and they suspended my license for not taking a driving class after the first time we got hit, which they shoulda sent me hella earlier than a year later. But because I didn't take the class they suspended my FL license and I got pulled over at the time I hadn't switched it to KS yet.)
I end up taking a deep breath and going ahead and putting on my blinker, get over into the right lane which is where I need to be to turn home, and he just kept going on. I got to get home and was almost in tears/laughing like a maniac because of how relieved I was.
That was ******** ******** up. Blah. I'ma drink a soda, clean a little and chill with my nephew when he gets here. That like ate my soul.

*Hugs both of you guys*
my brain is pretty much fried so all I can say/do is hope things work out alright, and that you can at least get your tags renewed... or... work something out anyways, Kitty.
Same with you, Lor.
Me, I was stressing all night so much about having to go job hunting today I made myself sick, so all I've been doing today is being depressed and trying to ignore the voices in my head which never have anything good to say....
.... I think the internet went out because microsoft had some updates, and I guess that's what's been happening all along.. eh.. whoever had the linksys hookup appears to have moved, because it's not showing up even on the prime spot on top of the cat house.
So, anyways, yeah. Cleaning and trying not to fall into too much of a depressive mood because I have to call the landlord tomorrow and tell her I won't be able to make rent.... I've never had to do that before and it's nerve wracking...
... well the old landlord I did, for the one month, but mom had been behind before and I knew him...
I know they can't kick me out of here right away but I'm really .. I know I'm trying hard and that there's stupid head things working against me and s**t but It's so hard and I wish I had some help, even just my cousin up here to maybe drive me to places because I don't know how to do anything and I feel awful about it that I keep failing.... I have no clue how you guys have done things like this before and not gone insane....
Planning on selling some s**t... I've got an exercise machine thing in the garage and a TV and my huge 19" computer monitor and the speakers/sound system.. some more things in the garage... some clothes/nice things for selling at the Nice as New store... gonna pop over there tomorrow and take a look at intake times.. well maybe they have a website..
Well hopefully Naz's got something nice and depressing to add to all of this so we can all have a crappy/semi-crappy day. smile

Godfrey Potter-Lockhart Well hopefully Naz's got something nice and depressing to add to all of this so we can all have a crappy/semi-crappy day. smile
I don't have a day off next week? I tore my only pair of work pants (I have two and the other is split) for the SECOND time in two days after I had Mom stitch them back up - different leg this time. I'll have worked like 46 hours this week, plus an hour of sitting miserable during lunch each day? I think my depression is returning? I didn't get trained enough in salad bar and keep forgetting things and not doing them properly and am probably gonna get myself written up a hundred times over?
Overall, though, I am trying to just draw in a deep breath and realize that life is going on in the direction it needs to go and I'll be here as long as I can be as happy as I'm willing to let myself be.
@Nny: Hope it works out for you, love. <3 If not, put your foot down! Don't let it go.
@Cassy: I will say what I have said from the start: if you need to put your s**t in storage and stay here for the summer, it can be done, we will make it work out. I'll buy the damn ticket for you if I have to get a second job for a week. I'll help you get a job here; once you've had one, it's easier to go through the process of finding another, especially since you'll also have recent retail experience. And a buncha money saved up. =p
And I'm with you on the terror, babe; I didn't get a job until I was facing homelessness as an alternative, and even now it's scary as hell to get up and go to work. It's like school but it feels like life and death. =/
BUT it also gives you a freedom I know you haven't felt yet. Living on your own, coming as far as you have; when you're supporting yourself as well, you will feel like few things can hurt you like your past has.
Gimme a minute to de-stress via music so I can give better suggestions.
BUT ALSO SAME GOES FOR YOU, LOR. If you ever feel like life's too much or you need something new, LET ME KNOW. I will bend over backwards to get you out here, even if it's just for a vacation, because I'm here for both of you and you're my bestest friends.

*Flops on Naz* Everything you say always makes me feel better. xD
D< AND YOU ARE THE MASTER OF SALAD. SALAD MASTER. AT least salad you can like, throw it all together, and it's fine, yep. Electroshock therapy is also good for depression, fyi. I think we could all use some.
D: I would seriously, seriously love to throw my s**t in storage and come down there and it'd be awesome... v_v this is just an awesome place to live and the rent is really cheap actually and the location is perfect.... I don't want to give it up because I don't want to end up having to live in a 4-5 bedroom place with a bunch of strangers.... crying
Oh man maybe i could work something out with my cousin though, and she'd stay here/come and I could go visit you guys for a while, that'd be awesomeeeee.
My male cousin Creston's gotta go to Arkansas to visit his parents,, which is... down south near you sorta..... baaaahhhh.
I can maybe get a financial aid loan for the summer, dunno, gonna try my luck tomorrow.. n'shiz... for jobs..
