femkes_folliesIt's been a bit of a bad week.
It began last Wed with John getting yanked around for days before NOT getting the job he'd been interviewing so many times for. I took it badly - cried, carried on, said a fair few things I would normally keep between my teeth. Add to this that my dippy boss called and told me that my staff had decided that they just couldn't stand to work with me anymore. ?!?!? Hence, I could work PART time, at the other office. *headdesk*
John spent some time talking with the Pastor - more on practical matters than spiritual, but any port in a storm. So now he's working on another lead with the only local business that is actually growing.
I nailed down a new job - no benefits, but reasonably flexible hours. And hey, it's work. So I can tell Crazy Psycho Boss where she can stick it. And one of my (now former) techs called to tell me that she was NOT asked whether she wanted to work with me and is very much PO'd that Crazy Psycho Boss said that she had. Which made me feel better. Normally I get on quite well with my staff - wherever I'd been. The idea that they found working with me intolerable was rather hard on my little ego.
I've got mixed feelings. Much as I'd LOVE to quit and stay home with the little ones, we can't afford it. I hate that, but I've got to suck it up. Dad even implied tonight that he was concerned that Anneliese might not ever be self-sufficient, and that needed to be planned for. Oi. I don't really think that's the case. But, wow, that can set up some worries. How to you provide for a lifetime of some sort of care for a child that may still need it after you're gone? Eeep!!
I need to put together the decor and favors for the shower. And scrape together a little spare change to go berry-picking with Alaina. Hmmmm, how to divy up desires between Currants, Gooseberries, and Raspberries.
When, Oh When will we get on stable footing, to say nothing of starting to accomplish some of our goals? I'd say when we win the SuperLotto - except that that would require buying tickets. *sigh*
