Weekend randoms
My mom and I went to Steinmart before we hit the grocery store. A lady was trying on a sweater in the aisle and her little boy says, "Mommy, you need to throw that sweater in the pond".
I love how honest kids are.
Re: Weekend randoms
Haha. Kids can be so funny sometimes.
I haven't done a thing today. I'm bored and feel like such a bum lately. I want to work but this job searching situation is absurd. Get this shiz...
There was a job opening in the office at our apt. complex. The property manager fired her daughter (awkward, but it was for good cause) so there was an ad in the newspaper. My H and I approached her about it and she seemed excited for me to apply saying she would probably hire me. Then I dropped off my app and resume a few weeks ago and I tried to talk to her...she didn't say a word to me, basically ignored me. I thought it was weird and knew something was up. DH found out yesterday that her daughter is back working in the office. I understand giving her daughter special treatment, but I'm so annoyed. Other people can get into legal trouble, never show up to work, etc. and still get a job but for some odd reason I can't.
Wth? I get wanting your daughter to have a job, but it's pretty crappy to give someone false hope.
When H was job hunting, there was a position open that both H and another guy he knew applied for. The other guy had a DUI and shouldn't have even been interviewed but since he knew the people he was interviewed anyway. Neither of them ended up getting the job, but I would've been pissed if the DUI guy got it.
Those were my thoughts exactly! We know her personally so I was irritated that she was enthusiastic about me applying, then blew me off. It made me think differently of her.
I was also like, why fire someone and put an ad in the newspaper if you're going to consider hiring them back? The girl's mom (the property manager) has also gone to DH whining about her daughter many times because the daughter gets into legal trouble, never listens, and it affects the family.
DH is constantly dealing with them (gets calls to their house for domestic violence, drugs, etc.). Now they're living in our apt. complex again and receiving special treatment...it's government housing and there's a no tolerance policy for BS around here with everyone else but yet they get away with everything. I also felt bad for the mom before, but now I don't if she's an enabler and can't keep her family life and work separate. Oh, well. I don't need to work with wishy-washy drama queens anyway. lol
Thank goodness that guy didn't get the job! I would've been pissed too.
Sorry for the rambling. lol. I haven't talked on the phone to anyone this weekend so I've been keeping that in for 2 days.
Did you guys figure out what you're going to do about the car and your work situations? I can't remember if that was last week or this coming week that you were worried about getting to work.
Ugh family drama needs to stay out of the workplace.
About the car situation this week, my parents came to the rescue as always lol. I hate having to ask them for so much help but I don't have a choice at this point.
We're praying that we'll have enough debt paid off with the tax return (after I file lol) to be able to start looking at cheap cars. I'm transferring the extra money from my raise straight into savings so that helps a little too. It's not a lot, but it's not like I'll miss it since we got by fine without it.
My coirker just went down to 1 car and then tried to make me feel bad because I told her how much of a hassle it is. She was rambling on about how "she's the head of her household and doesn't let her husband inconvienence her". Considering she filed for bankruptcy, eats out daily, and has $100 shopping sprees I don't have much sympathy for her and the situation she put herself in.
I'm glad it worked out and your parents were able to help. Don't feel bad...I'm sure your parents don't mind helping every now and then with a ride, and they realize you'll be back on your feet again soon.
Hopefully you'll get some money back from taxes and can find a car.
Your coirker's comment and behavior make me roll my eyes! I wouldn't have any sympathy for her either.
Hi! I hope ya'll are having a great time!
Oooooh yeah!!!
Oooooh yeah!!!
I know the feeling. We're night owls so sometimes we go to the laundromat late at night.
Do people at yours leave their crap in the machines unattended? That drives me nuts. Their stuff will be sitting there for hours after it's already finished.
At my old apartment complex I forever did mine late at night cause no one else was ever down there at that time... and if people leave their stuff for hours, I just take it out of the machine.
Hahaha. I give this a
. I've been tempted to do this a few times but never have. I live across the street so I just walk back over and come back later.
Ditto this. Although some of my neighbors are rather impatient. I watched a lady wait for a washer to stop. The minute it did, she took out all the clothes and just dumped them, wet and all, on the counter and then started putting her stuff in. The woman whose clothes was dumped on the counter, showed up within a minute. Oh she went crazy too. I'm watching them scream at each other while loading their machines.
When I came back, there were wet clothes everywhere on the floor. It belonged to the lady without the patience. Sometimes karma just gets you.
Our complex understands that there's a little leeway when it comes to getting your clothes out. But we have a standing 10 minute rule where if the owner doesn't collect, we dump the clothes on the counter.
They do. If its over an hour, I will politely put it on top of the machine.
