Yep. Time to start this one again. 1) Got notice yesterday that we're getting an unpaid furlough in June. :badmood: 2) Also got notice, no raises this year... 3) Someone jacked my PayPal debit card number and was using it to buy stuff at Sams Club in Las Vegas. Granted, I get the money back, but it's a hassle. :angry: |

So yeah, several years of no raise. |

Wicked hailstorm blew through town last weekend, golfball+ sized hail... but the worst part was the hail was pushed by 80mph wind, so it was blowing out windows and totaling cars left and right. My windows all held but my car has 74 dents on the hood alone, the roof has to be well over 200 dents and another few hundred on the side. Probably be totaled out. House fared OK but my 3 year old roof went from a 30 year roof to a 10 year roof.. nearly every shingle has a dent, ding, or chip in it. Waiting on the insurance adjuster to give the OK for a complete replacement. Other than that, my mom was in the hospital the same weekend, her heart rate dropped as low as 26, so they put a pacemaker in. She's had 2 open hearts already and other issues, so it was a scare but I can't complain because she is already feeling better and she is alive... And the icing is that my son seemed to regress back to his old habits... the ones that led him to drug use and much much worse. My efforts to help get him back on track lead to him deciding all his problems stemmed from me so he moved out while I was at work, and cut off contact. After two years of helping him get back on his feet and being the only person in the world to have his back through all this, I am now the bad guy. Oh well though, you can't control the weather, you can't control other people, and you can't control anyone's health. So as difficult of a time as it has been these last few weeks, I smile and think about the chuffage in my life, not all this bad stuff.. It could be FAR worse... |

It won't stop until he's in prison or dead. |
