yee hah, or something (m)
I'm happy to report a moment after my shameless plea for sympathy last Thursday/Monday. I'm just plotting away like crazy. I even stayed awake on the train this morning to write things down, something I do very rarely.
Thanks Mac--and Ozarker, you make a mean grilled cheese. I'll be round for more.

SMACK! Knocked down again.
It just seems like everytime I try to get my life back on line, I get knocked down again. The latest in a long line of insults is that I lost my job. That would be the job I just got three weeks ago after having been unemployed for months.
I am apparently not cut out to be in customer service. The job was a sucky one at a local C-store and I working my butt off for minimum wage. I went in today for my fourth of eight days of 10 hour shifts without a day off and was basicly told I could go home. Last night I apparently forgot to lock one of the doors. Nothing happened and it may have been over looked except there were customer complaints as well. Apparently no one has a sense of humor anymore or maybe mine is further off than I thought. I was never intentionally rude to a customer. The only one I actually know anything about was a guy that came in for a money order. He was a regular and I was apparently mistaken about his sense of humor. The exchange went something like this:
Him: "I'd like a money order for $240." Me: (With a smile) "Okay, as long as you have $241. The dollar is for the money order fee."
I printed out the money order, he gave me the money and all was kosher. Until about half an hour later when another employee called and said that he had been to her house to complain about me. I don't get it. What did I do?
I should note that this other employee is RUDE. I mean she is rude to everyone. She drove me up the wall when I was there working with her because I thought it reflected badly on the store. Guess I was wrong. I don't understand how someone with her people skills can keep her job and me, trying (and apparently failing) to be cute, got complained on. What is it about me?
This is just the latest in a long line of Smack Downs. They have been going on for over a year now. I keep lowering the bar and lowering the bar, but it always seems to high. I want my life back in my control! I want back into LE, too, but can not afford to move anymore. I want out of this God forsaken, piddly, little town with it's God forsaken, piddly little, town politics (I have never liked living here). And while I'm at it, I want a MAN, damn it! WAAAAAAAA. WAAAAAAAAA. WAAAAAAAA

P.S. My life sucks.
Good for you, El. Keep on plotting! (m)
I can't wait to hear where your taking your novel.

I think anybody that goes through life (m)
without a sense of humor (like that customer) is missing out on a whole lot. I can't understand why they'd consider you rude. I thought your comment was quite funny!
And I know you don't want to hear HANG IN THERE but life has got to turn around for you.
Hugs,
Mac
Hugs dvspec (m)
Hey girl, Keep your chin up,I wondered while reading your post, are you sure that you weren't set up to take a fall? I mean I thought it was unusual that he complained to the other employee. Maybe she felt threatened by you for some reason and set out to get you dismissed?
Whatever you do please don't lose your sense of humor, Okay?
Your in my thoughts and prayers
