i’m still proofreading my mom’s manual, and here’s an interesting piece of info i came across.
the national poverty income is set by multiplying the cost of food for a family by 3. this was set in 1965. doesn’t that seem a little off?
well, yes, since housing has increased 34% and food only 9%!!!
that is dumb. national poverty income lines should be set by 3 times housing costs. that’s what HUD declares is necessary for housing: 1/3 of your total income.
ok, so the reason i got health insurance through work was so i could have my yearly exams covered. i have an appt. for that on feb. 8, and my health insurance coverage ends on the 1st. STUPID is all i have to say.
oh, and i haven’t heard yet on the fargo job.
guess who’s unemployed?
yep, that’d be me.
i was let go. apparently my job didn’t fit the budget.
i’m not sure if i should be ecstatic, outraged or sad.
theresa just came in the room and asked me if i had the civic center locked in for the trade show…
no….because you said you didn’t want it there and had to check with rob before okaying everything.
now she wants it on friday-saturday. it’s been thursday-friday for the past 4 years that i know of. she’s going to check with lee, and lee and i have talked about this before and there’s no way it will be on saturday. what a dumb snarky woman.
i really really relaly really really really need this fargo job so i can get out of here. asap!!! ugh.
ok, i know you are all sick and tired of me complaining about work. i mean, you all have jobs, you like them or deal with them just fine, why can’t i?
because of crap like this:
got a new phone number sheet today, with the phone #s, cell #s and AS400 contact codes on them of everyone in the company. there’d been a lot of additions to the list, so it was time. and my name isnt’ on it. i don’t know if it’s deliberate or accidental.
then, one of the drivers came to my office today to RSVP for the xmas party, and he introduced himself and asked “so, what’s your purpose here.” i’ve been working here for 2 years. good lord. i wanted to smack him, but he’s a scary-looking guy, so i refrained.
i have ten resumes out and an application at walmart and shopko. i need something soon or else i’m going to quit and become a crack-whore welfare recipient.
and i’d like an opinion. please be critical and everything. i WANT the criticism. go to my photos page and let me know if there’s any remote possibility i have some talent and could do that for a living. i need to expand my job search, and if i could be a part-time photographer, that’d be fine.
so the last time i had disturbing dreams, it was about my mom falling off a cliff and twitching at the bottom and me being involved in an death movie set with people being killed and hung like animals on meat hooks. it was at that point that i realized i needed to get out of the middle of certain gay people’s problems and let me live my life.
well, i think i’m at that point that screams “DO SOMETHING TO CHANGE YOUR SITUATION” once again.
last night i dreamt that i was at someone’s house setting up their VCR to play friday the 13th continuously. some other people were there, like my grandma, mom, aunt meg, kevin (who knows why they were there). suddenly, my cousin matt bursts in the door with a crazed look and a huge kitchen knife in his hand. he kills everyone but me, then chases me around the house with this huge knife, even cuts my arm. i remember being terrified in my dream. finally i somehow got him on the ground with me standing and i ended up kicking him over and over on his stomach til he finally let go of the knife, which i took. then i stabbed him in the back. take that, freddy krueger!
i need a new job, pronto.
i am not the happiest camper on the face of the planet.
in addition to my car being run into yesterday, i find out today that instead of an $800 paycheck, i get a $600 paycheck this pay period.
this is due to some over-compensation of vacation pay from the wedding. i was told that once i get my vacation pay for 2006 (reinstated today, 40 hours), they can just subtract whatever was overpaid and i’ll be good. apparently not. apparently i get $200 less this paycheck, and they can’t call me and tell me what’s happening.
let me tell you, i am this close > < to quitting. i am so sick of that dumb place and getting pay decreases and getting screwed up paychecks, especially when money is tight (like it is at this moment).
pics of the car tomorrow.
guess who has an interview!
yeah, that’s right, ME!
hahahahahahhahahahahahhaaa
going in next tuesday after the wedding. i’ll probably take nate with me so he can look at the area and stuff and see if it looks like a good place to live.
YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ps – she asked me why i was looking for a new job, and i said something that indicated that the place was bought out, it’s been really slow, it’s a static industry, etc. she said, so you’re basically bored! well, you’ll never be bored here!
alleluia!!!
omgomgomgomgomgomogmgomgomgomgomgogomg
oh yeah, T -5 days!
the company has been sold to a larger company called stockman’s, which is located in fargo.
i can’t find a website for these people, otherwise i’d post it. but i figure, one of two things will happen. we actually have to re-apply for our jobs here. i will be 1) eliminated as a job because the larger company most likely has a marketing department that does uniform stuff. or 2) i’ll stay on and do my own merry stuff like i used to. like i said, i can’t find a website, so i don’t know what they have for a marketing dept. up there.
ugh. i hope i at least can make it til my wedding w/this job. all i ask!
