This has been a crazy week. I'm trying to seek new employment because my boss is not making any real effort to give me the pay increase that she promised back in September. If I was not in charge of reconciling our monthly expenses and did not have a clue of the funds she has to use, then it would be no biggie since we are in a recession. However, in the past, she has always been slow to give pay increases (I even left to go work elsewhere for 6 months and came back when she bumped my pay by $7000/year), so I feel the need to go elsewhere again, especially since my work load has increased threefold in the past two years. The only issue is that there are not a lot of jobs available (which is an issue everywhere).....aye yay yay.

This week, I guess I've been evaluating my friendships. Some of the people that I hang around are not my real friends, and some things happened this week that showed me just that. Needless to say, I spent the past two days going in my phone and deleting phone numbers. I'm someone who take my friendships seriously, so when you do something to stab me in the back, or repeatedly do so, I can't ignore it anymore.....I let the person go. Life is too short to have to deal with silliness. And the thing of the matter is I hang around people who are mostly 10 years older than I am, but some of them are more immature than people 10 years younger.

And as predicted, MM has not called since our conversation the other day. I deleted his number too. I'm debating whether or not to give him a father's day phone call...I'm leaning towards no. I'm kinda at a point where I'm ready to move on from this fuckery.

But whatever. I'm leaving to go on vacation tomorrow. I need a week to not think about this crap. You all take care while I'm away!

Update: I thought Father's Day was tomorrow!! See how out of sorts I am!!! lol

I'm sorry to hear about the work craziness and your friends. It does sound like a nice vacation is in order. Enjoy yourself and relax.

I relate on the craziness of the job... I'm in a similar boat...

Hope you enjoyed your time away... if it has cleared your head a little, maybe that's an indication that I should do the same!
