I was just so looking forward to actually getting back to normal, ya know?? Em's in daycare (gotta pull her out of there), grocery shopping, paying bills. Maybe going to the movies once in a while.

So very frustrating. Perfect word fr it, Burrell.

I'm trying really hard not to delve deep into the Bad Place. Things will work out - they always seem to with us - but right now, I'm fucking pissed.

I think I may hate those words most of all, "It will all work out." That means my life is currently in the pits and Hubby and I are trying to console each other. Again.

So sorry, Aims and MM.

I think this

I think after the disappointment wears off that he'll count his blessings that he's out of there.

and this

it sounds like she'd have disliked anyone who'd been hired, since she wasn't involved in the process.

are spot on. She's using every perceived slight as ammunition in her "why you should never hire anyone without me" assault.

ETA: These are usually the same people who bitch and moan that they have to be involved in every hiring decision.

Ugh Aimee and Miracleman. I'm glad Joe doesn't have to work for a crazy person anymore but that sucking fucks. Job~ma and coping~ma are on the way.

re: Amazon Marketplace. I did pick the seller with the higher rating and I did just get an email back from her. She says her roommate mailed the package along with several others and she has no idea why I haven't gotten it yet. She said she was up in the woods of northern wisconsin for the past three days or she would have replied to my first email. She did not provide the shipping information that I requested.

Jesus, Aimee. ::points up:: What they said. I'm so sorry, though, because I know it's incredibly frustrating. Sounds like Joe definitely dodged a bullet, though.

::squeezes the Empress extra hard::

{{{Aimee and MM}}} I'm so sorry. I hope Joe gets a new, much better job without an idiot boss soon.

Must pack. Watching baseball instead.

fucksocks. My sister's icky husband asked my Mom if he could come over and talk with her and Dad about why they don't like him. This was scheduled for Sunday and the family was feeling pretty hopeful like maybe this guy has the ability to be a reasonable person after all. I just got an email from Mom that Asshat has cancelled his appointment. Today is Mom's birthday.

Ginger, I hope you and your mummy arm are doing better today. That just sucks.

Erin, do you teach in public schools? Monday is Columbus Day, so you may already have the day off (I do!).

Dear Universe,

You are on The List! Step off and quit using the Miracleborns as your personal litter box.

Ta,

ChiKat

In further adventures of the mummy hand, I had forgotten one of the annoying effects. I can't get my right hand to my mouth.
