No. It will never EVER stop. After a month and a half of waiting, I finally got my first unemployment check yesterday. You would think that life would be a bit easier now. No. No, it isn't going to be. Today the manager of my apartment complex towed my car. It took me 3 hours of phone calls and one assurance that I would vigorously pursue my ( Read more... )

I couldn't resist the headline. "Proposal would allow for permit for terminal groins". Yeah, I would think you'd definitely want a permit for a groin that was gonna kill you. At best it sounds painful. But maybe it's a new radical cure for STDs ( Read more... )

My son got a mohawk a couple of weeks ago. It didn't look as bad as I thought it would since he didn't have the sides shaved completely; they were just cut really, really short. Anyway, time has happened and so has hair growth. It doesn't look like he's actually got a mohawk anymore. But it's not quite a faux hawk, either. I think it has ( Read more... )

I heard from the unemployment office yesterday. They said my former boss is objecting now because they say my son and I conspired to steal business from them. Sheesh. I'm embarrassed to admit I worked there since the boss is treating my former clients so badly. Why on earth would I want any of their clients? Besides, they build websites mostly ( Read more... )

I heard from a client of the company I used to work for. He just found out I'm not there anymore. He said he was disappointed and had enjoyed working with me. His secretary wants us to keep in touch.

It's not a huge thing. But it makes me feel better. I did a good job. And someone thought highly enough of me to find me and tell me so.

Okay. This is almost getting boring. I'm getting used to the pain from getting kicked in the teeth. Today I learned that my former boss is fighting my unemployment claim and is using their lawsuit against me as ammunition. Not a surprise. I feel like driving over to her office, standing naked in her doorway and offering her my blood and body ( Read more... )

Don't the Amish call it shunning when they publicly turn their backs on a member? Well, that's what has happened to me. It's not enough that the company fired me and has slapped me with bogus legal action. Now each member of the team has removed me from their contact list on LinkedIn. Petty. Enough that it made me laugh out loud. I seldom see ( Read more... )

I went home Wednesday, home to my mom and dad's house. I'm an adult with my own home, of course. But when in distress, home always means back where Mom and Dad are ( Read more... )
