Vents?

[beans]

I am so FIGMO. I decided my last day here will be the first week of July (I was just going to do end of June, but this way my last paycheck will be a full check...)

I just do not give a flying fuck about anything here anymore. This company is so beyond ridiculous...

Also, I spent like 20 mintues trying to explain why you can't just swap out therapists on clients because one is unavailible... smh. Or why I shouldn't start outpatient therapy when a client is going to a higher level of service in 1.5-2 weeks (unless they're suicidal or need a crisis management session). Or why, when I have such a short period of time left I should not be taking on new clients. Who wants a therapist for like three weeks? (I also had a vacation in there before I leave)

And did I mention that it looks like I work in a crack house? because it does. They started building these partial walls (about two feet from the ceiling...) for "privacy" uh, you shouldn't have wasted your money. There is no privacy. They put putty (? whatever) on the sheetrock... and have not painted it yet. It took three weeks after the doors were installed to get doorknobs. AND in the back area, two of the four fluorescent lights don't work... and one flickers every now and then. They took a not horrible situation and made it worse! ug.

I just want to put my head down and finish my time. lucky for me, this is the last "Full" week I will have here- I leave next week on Friday, gone for a week, come back Tuesday, and my last week is July 4th. Woot!!

H has been home for less than 3 days and the house, which was spotless, is now completely trashed. This happens every time and it drives me crazy. I've spent all day cleaning.

I'm addicted to these salads from Wendy's. I've gotten one like every single day. I want one right now. Granted, there are worse things to be addicted to- but my bank activity from the last week is a little embarrassing lol.

what kind?

also, I feel less embarrassed about this sort of thing when we're on a cash system. No lasting evidence that way. YWIA

The site I'm streaming last night's episode of Mad Men from is being a real douche today and the episode is getting good.

*insert typical short staffed/overworked work vent here*

We are taking a trip up to see my in laws. When we were there last summer, my MIL told me she hates the way my husband comes up there without a plan. As in, he is up there for a week and just goes here and there and hopes everyone isn't busy. I told her I would make sure we had a plan this year especially since the baby is not fond of the car.

I give C a rough idea of what I think the plan should be. He shoots it down, tells me it won't work and that we should go up there and "wing it" depending on the B's mood.

WTF.

This is pretty much how every trip home to visit family has gone for us. And, to be honest, a plan is nice to have. But in my experience, both sides usually end up guilting us on how dinner was ONLY 2-3 hours and they ONLY saw us x amount of times and yada yada. So even with a plan, it seems like someone still feels like they didn't see us enough. A week is never enough. 2 is even rough since both of our families are within 40 miles of each other and DH's parents are divorced. So it makes for more visits. Such is life.

I hope your husband comes around to some sort of plan if it will make things easier!

O's vet bills are topping out at 4,000 if the damage isn't bad. If the damage IS bad it will be 5,000-6,000. STBXH has verbally agreed to pay 1,000 dollars for spousal support and income tax return he owes me. I won't sign the divorce papers until he pays me OR get a nortorize promisary note. I have asked the BX, Walmart, and Kroger if I can have a bake sale there, contacted too many nonprofits to count and two churches are going to do collections for me. I'm selling some stuff on Craig's list and fb swap pages. I'm also crossing my fingers this vet school will write off about 300-500 dollars of the charges. And I will have a ChipIn account up and running in two days. It looks like I'll be getting a bonus from my company at the end of the fiscal year and my mom has promise me her August and December bonuses that equal to about 1500 dollars. I'm looking for a temp/stocking job.

My dad told me to euthanize him and be done. I proceeded to ball my eyes out and ugly cry.

Honeybadger, it sounds like we are in similar situations. IL's are divorced, live an hour apart, and my husband has been previously (before I came around) guilted into running back and forth between them because one parent was "getting more time."

I told C I don't mind being the biggest bitch in the family and saying No. We are not running back and forth. We are going to one house and staying with them for a few days. Then we are leaving and going to the others for a few days.

Of course he wants to go back and forth multiple times because "no other plan is going to work."


Lemon,
I am so sorry O's vet bills are climbing higher and higher. I hope that it is an uncomplicated fix and you can find a way to get the money faster.
