Update

Well I didnt quit my job. though I have to admit, it took alot for me to go in Monday.
I did find out what was being said and who was saying it, I really dont know What I did to this person to cause her to want to tell such blantant Lies with out any thing to back it up.
But I guess if she can live with herself and I dont have to live with her then Oh well.
I only have to see her for a few minutes a week (which makes this really freaky) But I pretty much think she wont be around very much longer. And that is just as well.
Im not saying that I love my job and Im gonna stay there forever, cause If something better paying comes along, well i will have to follow. But Im not gonna put up with her telling lies, and they know it. So if it continues, one of us will have to go, and I told them that, so nobodies in the dark on how I feel.

Oh drama, some people cant live with out It! Sigh!!!!

New Job

Well, I got another job. No I am not a job jumper, I was offered a better paying position with the same company, just at a different location.
Seems like fate was stepping in to help me make more money.
So I took it. Ive been on the job 3 weeks and while I dont love it. the hours are better (day shift) and the money is better so its all good right? Wrong.
Yesterday I found out that the girls who work for me have been complaining about me to my boss. (I found this out from one of them, who says she hasnt said anything, hmmm)
Now I have been running myself ragged for 2 weeks trying to do a good job and they are telling him that I am not doing my job.
I was so mad when I heard this that I literaly gave myself a headache, now im just upset to the point that I do not even want to go back.
But being the only breadwinner in a family with 2 teenagers and one about to start college, I cant afford not too.
So I have been racking my brain all day trying to decide the best way to handle this.
Im still up in the air about it, so I guess I will just go in and play it by ear.
And if i have to resign then Oh well, what ever happens will happen.
Im not going to work with people who dont respect me. and Im not going to work at a place im miserable at. So Ill just have to see what happens.
After only 3 weeks on the job I really dont think it was fair of these girls to "tattle" on me without even giving me a chance. Worse still is one girl only works weekends and she said a pretty awful thing and Ive never really even been around her.
So I guess tomorrow can go one of 2 ways. I can go in and admit defeat and quit.
Or I can go in and find out what exactly Im doing wrong and fix it.
Either way some people are probably going to see a side of me I reserve only for those who Piss me off, So it should be an interesting day.
Ill try to update soon.

Shot down

Well as you know from another blog, I applied for a Job last week that I was really interested in and didnt get it. Well I try to remain positive and believe everything happens for a reason, and one day perhaps I will know the true reason. However, this is the reason they gave me:
First of all I should say I applied for a teller position in a bank. Although I knew they did a credit check and so forth, I guess I didnt really realize the severity my credit was in until now. I also didnt realize exactly how they check it.
Yes I know I owe money, but I do pay my bills on time, but this is not what they look at. They actually take your credit report to a Lender in the bank and ask them if they would loan you money. If they say you are high risk for a loan, then they believe you will STEAL from them to pay your bills. So your application is thrown out right then and there No questions asked.
Now I can understand this to an extent, what I dont understand is how they think people without jobs can pay their bills. Also Why do they automatically ASS-ume that every one who is high risk for a loan is going to steal from them if they get the chance?
I believe there is a little bit of discrimination going on here, but what can I do.
So even though I used to have a high paying, highly stressful Job, and was paying my bills on time and could actually get a loan if I needed one, Im now at high risk because I dont have a job, and I cant get the job because I cant get a loan.
Well I dont need a Loan, I. Need. A. Job.
Until next time...

April's Fools

Today is April Fools day, as Im sure you are aware. Seems like a perfectly fittin day to have a strike. But thats another blog.
Yesterday might as well have been April 1st, although today wasnt much better.
Why? Because being Monday, and seeing how DQ was once again gone all weekend, Guess-What-Happened? Yep, you guessed it! her car wouldnt start.
(sighs dramatically) Now my brother Mellow, (short for mellowdramatic, however you spell that) Worked on it last night after dark of course, because being monday he had to work late..... Yes so I really, Really hated to tell him it wouldnt start.
But... I did. Now I also begged him to leave it til today, but he wouldnt so he fixed what he thought was the problem and it started and we parked it back in the yard, to wait for morning. April's Fools Day!!!!
I held my breath as Dq walked to the car, i was still in the bed and not quite ready to get up, 1,2,3. I wait, and yes she comes back in, Stomping her feet of course,
As she enters my peaceful haven, I rolled to the other side of the bed, while mumbling Take Mine, with out waiting for her to speak.
As the morning goes on and the clock strikes 9, I leap out of bed (yeah right) and float to the door, hoping just maybe...But no,
It was not an April fools prank.
So thats how the first day of April treated me this year,
Hope your day was better!!!

and just for the record, The s in April's fool's day was deliberate.

Opinions are Free!

The long awaited time is drawing near. Senior class trip.
DQ is waiting patiently for this trip for 18 years.
Its a trip that signals her Grown up status.
I guess for her that is. Anyhoo.
Her class sponser (and Chaperone) has offered detailed advice for the students, and I find myself offened. Why you ask?
Well its like this. The seniors are going to Disney World.
The most magical place on the earth, (sigh!!) children of all ages. (2-102) cant help but be amazed by the miracles of the imagination.
I dont think there is anyone who couldnt be transformed at Disney world.
But Im off subject.
Ms. S has given the class maps of all the different parks.
Magic Kingdom, Epcot, ect...
On these maps she has listed her favorite and least favorite attractions. Suggesting (get this) that some of these attractions be Avoided all-together.
The Number 1 on her list to be avoided. "Its a small world". My absolute favorite of all time.
Yes while I can see this may not be appealing for 18 yo boys, this attraction is one of the oldest in the park. A entire world of miniture dolls singing in different languages from around the world.
I can see saying "I wasnt impressed by this" but to go so far as to suggest they avoid it completely is offensive to me.
Number 2 on the list is also number 2 on my favorite list. The Jungle Cruise. A 30 minute lazy river ride on a boat, with a crack up comedian captain of the ride telling jokes and driving you thru waterfalls, as you watch animals and tribes of all kinds in the habitat. All of this is animated of course, but still who's to judge a perfectly fine attraction.
There is absolutely NO way to see all of the magic kingdom in 1 day, much less 4, but since they will be there for 4 days, let them choose their own path. Yes they have hopper passes to all the parks, and they cant see it all. But gimme a break, Not everyone likes the same thing.
I hate crabmeat, but DQ loves it. Id never tell her she shouldnt try something just because I dont like it.
And the topper to all of this is, Ms.S has told them the firwork show is best from the epcot, While I have heard this and cant disagree, (ive never been to epcot) I do know that the magic kingdom parade, which leads up to the firework show, can only be seen AT the Magic Kingdom.
So if everyone goes to Epcot, at her suggestion, Then they will all miss the parade.
I personally think that anyone who goes to Disney World should not leave without seeing the Magic Kingdom parade, And small world, and the Jungle cruise.
But hey thats just MY opinion.

Spring break

Its Spring Break here. School is out for the Easter holiday. Now most of the kids in the state have actually been out of school all week. Mine have only been out for 2 days.
This is ok with me and them. Its just weird, for some reason the kids in this county, and Im sure some others, get out of school for a whole week in april.
This usually works out well for me cause its warmer and we can make plans for this week.
When I had a Job I actually planned my vacation around what is Known as AEA week.
But seeing that other counties (and possibly even kids from other states) were out of school this week could have cause for concern. Why? you ask.
Because for those who dont know where I live, I live 1/2 mile from a dirt track, and I live in 4 wheeler country! Now I have 4 wheelers, in all there are about 8 here 5 that runs for sure and the rest are iffy. But Im off track.
The neighbors, their friends, their relatives and Im sure even their In-laws have 4 wheelers, So if you dont see where this is going, All week long it has been None stop 4-wheeling from 8am to 10pm . 4-wheelers, dirt bikes, big ones small ones, its been a non stop parade All Week Long!
Now the track is 1/2 mile down the road you say, and yes you can hear them from here, but they dont stay on the track Noo. The road in front of my house is MUCH better for 4-wheeling,
why, because they can drive (wideopen) on this 1/4 mile stretch and then turn and go up the RR tracks, which will take them all the way back to the nearest town, about 5 miles away, without them having to get on the highway.
So yes the kids that go to school with my kids have been in school most of the week, but the ones that go to school 10 miles away were out all week. Not to forget, about 8 teenagers were visiting from up north some where with there parents at their vacation home, which is 1/2 mile in the other direction, and I think they brought 6 4-wheelers.
So all in all its been a good week. LOL If I could learn to go to bed early and get up early that is.
I should be used to it. Its spring time and that means people outside at all hours. which includes, my dad next door with the lawnmower at 7am on Sat morning.
But thats another Story!
