Nope. Best I can hope for is that they'll let me work 6-3. It's against traffic, so it's not like I'll be sitting on the 118 all day, everyday. I just...I took the job to be closer to home and to Em. To be shoved far awat from her again just bugs. And we want to stay in this area - B is having her baby soon, I don't want to take Em out of her daycare again, gas will KILL us. But, I really don't have a choice.
We aren't moving for about 6 months and by then, I'm hoping to get a) a raise and b) a little more than a raise to cover the gas costs.
Are you considering looking for another job, Aimee?
I just...I took the job to be closer to home and to Em.
That does suck. And I bet the traffic out there makes the thirty miles that much longer. Sorry, babe.
And she has them. Guys. Who do....stuff.
I really do. Mostly they drink. But they do other stuff.
Aims, that blows. I'm sorry.
Are you considering looking for another job, Aimee?
No, not really. I love it here. I love my bosses and I love the company. G said he could be flexible as long as business hours were covered. Since I has to drop her kids off at 7:30, she won't be there until just after 8, so she'll be staying til 5. I think they'll let me do 6-3. Or maybe 7-4.
Then again, it all depends on what job Joe gets and what his hours will be.
Bah.
How's Emmett dealing?
Okay. He's sad that he can't see Aidan. I can't imagine it's good to see his Mom a nervous wreck, barricading her door every night and sleeping with a lead pipe next to the bed.

Nope. Not good at all.
I feel so sorry for Aidan, too, though. Sounds like he has no one right now, with his mom gone and EM gone, and his dad turned psycho stalker guy. Poor kid.
And, we aren't having an office Christmas party, to boot.
Pshaw.
Joining AmyLiz's bandwagon. Someone needs to do something for Aidan. Unfortunately, anyone connected with EM is the last person in any position to do anything.
I bought The Velveteen Rabbit over the weekend
I just love this book, in the sense of sobbing nonstop. Also, my cousin raises rabbits and has developed a couple of new breeds. One breed, she was waiting until it was consistent before submitting it to the ARBA. Unfortunately, some folks on the East Coast didn't bother following the rules, so we have Jersey Woolies instead of Arctic Angoras. However, she's less bitter than I, and moved on to developing another breed: Velveteen Rabbits! I don't think she's going to bother getting them approved by the association, and I don't have any pictures, but they're a cross between rex rabbits and English lops (picture these: underthepinerabbitry.tripod.com/id10.html but imagine them very big).
lib, take juliana up on her offer, she has a lovely mom.
There is much temptation. I'm even more tempted to visit by aunt, and skip the trip from Anchorage to Homer. Now, mom is being all sweetness and light, and I am very confused.
Why can't November go pick on EM's ex for a while, and leave the rest of us who never did it no harm alone?
THIS. YES.
