Very Bad Day

[morethanpretty]

Kinda update:
Next week I'm hoping to meet with the GM. I want to make him fully aware of V's past harassment and sexist actions. Also aware of how at least one of his own comments came off as sexist to me. I'm not an inflammatory, I don't go crying "Sexism! Rape!" but this is a case where I really do feel strongly about it. If GM doesn't seem to take it seriously I will talk to T, the District Manager. She needs to be aware of it in that case, and I will be sure to mention the GM's own part in it. My mom wants me to beg for my job back because I should "leave on my own terms," I told her I will not do that. I would rather starve on the street then lower me to that level.

I did go visit my old cafe (the one i transferred from) and GM there was very sympathetic. He really is nice and although I sincerely doubt he reads this: I owe him an apology, I have not given him due respect for his niceness. I have often claimed he is false, and in this respect I think I am wrong. All my old peeps were there too! I miss them like crazy and its so awesome to see then. My chick Patty is HUGE with a new baby! OK OK I digress.

Next week I have a temp job. Filling in for my mom's assistant, J, who is a very close family friend. Also giving her old dog Sally some midday attention since her boys will all be gone most of the day.

December I hope to get a job working at the company J's boys and husband work at. They have an opening then that will be awesome for me, full time, 6-2:30, $14-$16hr prob. So I'll still have time to take evening classes and web classes.

In between I'm workin on getting a retail job, I'm not too worried since its getting to be holiday season and I'm in the Dallas market. So hopefully I can get something with close to my old pay rate and ride out the rest of the year.

I feel great about it all.

My nanny is in town tonight, my grandpap's viewing is tomorrow night. I hate those things, but I will be there for my nanny. Friday is his funeral, I'm not sure if we're getting together after to celebrate his life with eating. I'm happy to get him settled though. I miss him, and more importantly I missed many opportunities to learn about him when he was alive. That hurts, but I'm sure he knew that I loved him, and maybe I'll get a second chance in the next life.
We've been working on remodeling nanny's house, and its in shambles, BUT it will be OK. We're gettin there. I like all the construction though I think its fun. Its a good opportunity for me to learn some "man skills," I've always been interested in carpentry and such. I think my dad likes it too, he's a workaholic though.

Anyway, thanks all for the uplifting comments and advice.

You're handling this in a well thought out and mature way.
Good for you - it's not easy when strong emotions are involved.

Hope everything goes as well as it can do with your Grandpop's viewing/ funeral.
