Hey Laura, poor grooming is taught to HR to be a red flag for workplace violence, so it may be the clothes. I would think they could see He was clean and neat and so not a worry, but they may also worry about drug addiction since he's so skinny. My niece said she was absolutely skinny when she was doing meth. Thankfully, she's been clean a long time now.
That came out really weird and abrupt. MOStly, all fingers and toes crossed they appreciate his brilliance and they're all a good fit for one another.
Thanks Scrappy and Laura.
Deena insurance stuff sucks.
Laura better fitting clothes might help. I hope he finds a job.
I'm looking forward to a new challenge but I I feel like I didn't do a good job of being the shoe specialist so this gives me a chance to have a new start.
Matthew's mom living here is rocky. I guess she walked to the bank this morning to open an account and didn't have a bill in her name with this address so they wouldn't open it. Somewhere around here is the house insurance bills with her name but I don't know where they are. She ststted to go through my stuff and I asked her not to and I'll find it.
There haven't been clear boundaries and so it's gone from "oh no I won't eat with y'all " to an expectation that she is being included in meals. She washes the dishes so that is nice and I'm trying ot to be grudge this. But she has no car so ahe is pretty much here all the time.
The library is within walking distance but she doesn't read well or have a dvd player so there are limits to what she can get. Although there are activities going on and I'm going to encourage her to go there and get a calendar.
Matthew has very little patience for her. On top of that he lifted more than he should at work and hurt his back and has hemrroids really bad. Plus his car isn't starting. He has missed most of this week of work. He missed all of last week.
So he is stuck in the house unless he is borrowing my car to run an errand. And he hasn't felt like moving much.
Our router quit working and I don't have money to spare to replace it so I need go to Spectrum to rent one from them. Honestly I need to get up and get over there because I have to work today and I don't know how long I'll have to wait.
My birthday is Sunday.
Matthew really needs to find another job. But that can be daunting. He is talking about getting a part time job instead of a full time one. With his back it's probably what he needs.
I feel like there is a lot of stuff I'm goong on that I am more concerned about than anyone else. Matthew takes a much more "it will work out" attitude. I'm wondering if how we deal with these things is going go be a deal breaker for our relationship but mostly I am ignoring that because I don't need that stress right now.
Sorry to vent. I'm just feeling overwhelmed because I've already run one errand today. Our clothes are still in 5 different places in the house instead of put away and it keeps getting put off and i should be working on that instead of typing this because I have to get ready and go to work in a few hours and get lunch before then as well.
they may also worry about drug addiction since he's so skinny.
That was my concern too, but he is just a super picky eater. We stopped and bought him a couple pair of pants and shirts and he changed on the way in my car! Also, wooooot, I pick him up at 7 tonight because he was hired and is in training.
I'm sorry it is so overwhelming, askye.
One thing off my list is thr router. Spectum opened an office near me and it isn't on any of their info. Even when you call them and ask. I wasn't sure I could get a router there but I did. Now I'm trying to eat lunch.
Someone at the restaurant doesn't understand how loud their voice projects so I can hear their side of the conversation like they are sitting next to me.
Yay on your son gettign the job!!!
Ugh. Was a scam. 100% commission crap not what they said. Sigh.
Boo. Boo. (Imagine a gif of the old woman from Princess Bride here).
Askye, I can see that. I join the old woman. Boo!
I'm sorry your situation is frustrating right now. I hope you guys can come to some comfortable meeting of the minds.
Laura, I'm sorry to hear that. How very disappointing. I hope he's not too discouraged. Reminds me a little of the old Hee Haw bit. Oh, that's good! No, that was bad...
