Got another Xmas bonus this year and had the second (and last) of my hemorrhoids removed in mid-October (first one was before Labor Day weekend)... never felt so much dang better while taking a dump and NOT crapping blood
So today was my last day of employment. Some people were very supportive. On the other hand one of my former coworkers seemed fairly distant. Yesterday she seemed in a bad mood. During my shift two other coworkers were hugging her apparently she had been depressed. During the entire hug she was facing me giving me the evil eye. Another perhaps one of the same co-workers said that she was very depressed. There was one incident where she bumped into me while I was working started to rub and then squeeze my arm. Now I'm by no means oblivious, there were other instances where I felt she might have feelings for me. However I have no interest in a relationship right now let alone with somebody I was working with at the time. The rational or wise part of me is saying you can't control other people and how they react to situations. I can only control myself and how I react. I would have just preferred that left on a somewhat more positive note. Also I asked the chef that hired me to write a letter stating my last day of employment. This was requested earlier in the week So I can give a copy to social security and another to the apartment complex I live in. As I am on disability. And that is a requirement. I want to say Monday morning? He said he would take care of it. He was not there today. My shift ended around 2. I texted him a good 10 or so minutes after. Requesting that he mail the letter. And that because the college I'm going does offer classes during the summer I won't be able to work there at that point in time. I gave it a few hours texted him back trying to compromise saying if it's better for him I can just stop in real quick to grab the letter. He has yet to respond. And his is the only number that I have in my contacts for that establishment. I'll give it until Tuesday or Wednesday for a response. Apologies for the run-on sentences. Just had quite a bit on my mind. Thank you to any and all that read this. Finding it difficult on how I want to end this post. It's been one of those days.
All apologies for the double post The chef texted me back. He said he's working all day tomorrow so if I wanted to come in I was more than welcome to do so. He also offered to send the letter via email. At first I said email is fine, but then giving it a second thought the right thing to do would be to go there in person and thank him for giving me an opportunity. As my father taught me two things if you are on time, you're late. And if you're going to do something, do it right. I just want to try to keep that part of him and by extension his memory with me.
So while I was out, the chef that hired me texted and said he sent the letter via email. Honestly a part of me wanted to work there during the summer while school was on break. I found his response after thinking we had an understanding to be somewhat of an insult. I'm trying very hard not to internalize it. Furthermore I had written a letter to the former coworker that seemed upset by me leaving. My former therapist told me to write my feelings down. Which is what I did. I even went so far as to include my phone number, so if she wanted to call and talk. So much for that. At this point I have very little respect if any for this chef.
I finished my advising appointment. My 2023 classes are all set. Apologies for my previous post's. Just wanted to vent about a unfortunate situation. Thank you for all the support.
I've been working for my boss about a year and a half now. I'd been with the company less than 6 months when I attended my first Christmas party with them. Both businesses he owns did fairly well that year. I didn't expect him to give me any kind of Christmas bonus or anything, but he'd given me a card with a hundred bucks in it. I was pretty taken aback by that. Well this year, both businesses hit a bit of a stall so I honestly didn't expect a bonus of any kind, but also I'm one of those people that doesn't expect anything from people. I'm just happy that I'm employed honestly and able to take care of everything at my house and keep everyone happy for the most part. Lo and behold though, this year my bonus was double what it was last year. Fellahs, when I say I'm grateful.... that's an understatement. I've truly been humbled and blessed this year. It's been stressful, but it's certainly been worth every step. Happy holidays to everyone here, and I hope the new year has great things in store for all of you!
Iggy looking around the Christmas tree. She’s going to love getting cat nip and a toy for Christmas Day
Next year I'm palnning to start my own business. It is so exciting. I always wanted to be an entrepreneur and I've found business consultants at yourtaxadvice.com to help me with registration, accounting, VAT return, bank accounts and visas at affordable costs. It is always better to consult with professionals to avois the risks and save time. I want to setup business in UAE because it is free zone with no taxes and many benefits for business.
Soonwoo Kwon (South Korean) failed to qualify for the Adelaide International 2 tennis tournament. Gets a 'lucky loser' entry & wins the tournament yesterday.
Just had a checkup from my doctor. I'm down to 250lbs. That's a 30lbs. weight loss since I started getting healthy again. Even better news is that my A1C is now at 5.8!
Let's see; my sh*thead roommate Dave finally moved out, I got my basement reorganized and cleaned for the most part, I set up a little gaming nook down there with my NES, SNES, and my VCR (My Ps1 is there, too, but it doesn't work. I think the power adapter finally gave up). Yeah, been a fun two weeks since that idiot Dave moved out. (Can ya tell I wasn't fond of him? )
BCC's system is officially back up. I start on the 25th. I still need to call since it says I have a course for the 24th. So yeah, I will be speaking to somebody on Monday I'll probably just drop by. Since I have therapy that day anyway.
So, a couple years ago I tried to sell my N64 to a local buy/sell/trade place called "Buybacks". Well, when they tested the console, the RCA output didn't appear to work (or so it seemed). Figured some trace on the RCA-out on the board must've gone sour. Fast forward to today. I hook up the N64 in my gaming nook, get that old SOB plugged in, hit the switch and nothing (no surprise there, I didn't have anything in the cartridge slot). I snapped off the console's power switch and I hear a real faint "put!" from the TV Set (sound!) I head upstairs and grab my husband's Donkey Kong 64 cartridge and popped that thing in the cartridge slot. Hit the switch and I'm greeted by the "Expansion Pak Required!" screen! Another supposedly dead console lives! Not that I can really do anything with it, I don't have any N64 controllers and the only N64 game I have requires an Expansion Pak which I also don't have! I get the feeling the salesperson at Buybacks didn't want to buy the N64 after seeing the sketchy state of the Playstation's power brick and my insistence that it was functional.
I grossed over 100k last year at work, not bad with my level of education.......wish I could find my 8th grade English teacher who told me I would amount to nothing and choke him with my W2
A friend got a puppy recently. It's a whippet. And I absolutely adore this zippy little noodle, her name is Casi.
Neighbor's got a whippet mix. That little bugger can run like the wind. Our younger dog is about five to six times bigger and can barely keep up when they're runnin' the fence together. It's great for wearing them out though. And that bark. So distinctive. REE ROOO ROO ROO REEEEROOROO. Cute little girl too.
I successfully installed homebrew on my 3DS XL today. Still a lot of stuff I don't fully understand, but hey another reason to play my battered 3DS XL.
And this time I found them in my town fishing at the dam. At least two of them, possibly three different ones.
