I may or may not be filing a grievance. But that is tomorrow.

Tonight is time for beers!

Look at the bright side. You get to spend time with your family for a few months, and hopefuly collect an unemployment check. You'll find something else. Maybe a better job than your previous one. Good luck.

That's too bad. The company I work for is apparently going to be $9 million in the red by next year. If the company doesn't fold, my job sure as hell will be eliminated. Scary times.

HUGS yup they are Oppyh....
It has been very nice having NV home, but I wish his evil boss's boss hadn't used the boss's absence as an excuse to get rid of him just because she doesn't like his family....

Zeek sleepy. CSTS was fun but I was in that movie theater from 10:30am to 8:30pm. Even though all I did was stand around it still wore me out. At least we were up to $12,000 earned by the time I left and we still had the 10:00 showing to go. Surely with that kind of money equal rights and illiteracy will be taken care of for good, right?

oooooh that leads to a good ponderable. What's the pushiest thing your parent(s) have ever done to get you to do something they wanted???
My mom set up a job interview with a school district before I had even considered going into special ed.... but I'm actually glad she did ( one of the few manipulative things she's done that worked out well for me and not her)

Hmm.. that's a tough one. Although my rents are kinda bossy and over-bearing, they don't really *make* me do stuff, or even try to influence my opinion too much, so that would be limited to grounding me indefinitely in order to get my grades up..

My Dad absolutely made me play little league baseball. Even though I didn't enjoy it at all. Turns out a part of that was probably because I needed glasses. So, I really had no idea what I was supposed to be noticing that would make a pitch good to swing at.

My Dad was just convinced that if I didn't become good at baseball I would be ostracized when the kids in the neighborhood wanted to have a pick up game of baseball. Never once have I heard about a pick up game of baseball in my entire life to this point. However I did play basketball and touch football with some kids in the neighborhood. Amazing how I survived those things without being in a league at a younger age.

Also just back on Father's day my brother and I did a 3way call to wish my Dad a happy Father's day. At one point my brother mentioned his trip to Sweden coming up this week. My Dad said that I need to take more trips like that. Even my brother was like "but he doesn't like that type of thing". My Dad came back with "He hasn't done it enough to say that". Which just immediately makes me go "fine you want me to lie to you? Sure I was just in Sweden yesterday. It blew. The whole place is full of criminals and disease. Is that better?"
