dyk on Thursday when we were studying Abi asked me why she didn't use her overlays anymore....

dyk I didn't realize until that moment that she didn't realize her glasses WERE the overlays -- just in the form of glasses to make it easier to utilize for ALL her work lol

dyk it's 1:15pm and no word from the school -- no one called begging me to come get her, or saying she's disrupting class, haha

dyk so... so far so good, lol

dyk I bet she'll be fine at school but getting through homework will be another story

dyk this is where the ADHD vs Mania symptom separater is helpful

dyk the ped still hasn't called me back

dyk I wonder if my message got lost?

dyk I texted a's dad to let him know that we were good with 5pm being when homework club ended -- (see how the name stuck, lol but the kids love it) and I told him to stay in his car and I'd have her pack up and come out to him

dyk on thursday they got here at 4:45 and came in and then it was all over -- suddently everyone was talking and no one worked and packing up to leave took forver and they didn't get back out the door until almost 5:30

dyk and it wasn't a big deal, but it could become a problem b/c then I didn't have dinenr ready! lol

dyk, so my angry supervisor (the one that tried to leave in September but was talked into staying) told me to lay him off

dyk, hahahahaha we are NOT laying people off and even if we were, he would not be one of the people selected

dyk, so now he wants to get fired

dyk, he really can't get fired...it would take a lot for that to happen, and even then it wouldn't be easy for him

dyk, I know a couple of definate ways for it to happen...but I'd rather he just quit

dyk, it would send a better message

dyk unless you know, like Sean, he was hoping to get fired so that he could file for unemplyment and live on 30% of his pitiful income.

dyk Sean finally did quit, and is making 2.5 times more and I want to fax a copy of a paycheck stub to his old boss with a tacky note about how not to worry when their business finishes going under, we'll take good care of the shop as we buy it from them.

dyk, at first he thought he'd get a severance package - not in our line of business

dyk, he actually WANTS unemployment. He's young, has tons of savings (he has super cheap rent), no responsibilities, and really wants out of here

dyk, he'd take the 30% (of his decent salary...he's the one that makes more than I do) while he relaxes for a few weeks

dyk, he can easily get another job (he's got an "in" at another tax provider) while he looks for what he really wants
