Well, finally Hombre called from jail. Of course, it had to be the one night that I went out after work with my co-workers. We had a going away party for my guy in our department. He is finally moving on to a job he's gonna love, instead of sitting on the phone taking calls all damn day. He is great at what he does, too, Network Specialist. He taught me a lot, and I'm gonna really, really miss him.
Anyway, Hombre called, and I walked in just in time. What was fucked up is that I could barely hear him. The phone system there sucks balls big time! It was almost a waste of money because I missed most of what he said. He did sound down, though. But I was really glad to hear his voice. I was beginning to think something happened to him in there and that he was not allowed to make calls. He said he is due to get out on the 18th. So in about a week, he will be home, and I'll probably be back to bitching about him.
I am trying to find a part time job after normal business hours to help catch up on bills. My mortgage payment bounced...twice! And now they are going to want me to Western Union the money to them, which I don't have. Plus, the gas company was out to my house to shut off my gas, so I had to write a check for that. Hopefully, my overdraft protection will cover that check. By the time I get paid on Tuesday, my home phone and internet will be shut off. What I'm worried about is that I need my internet in order to connect to my work machine from home when we get after hours calls from staff that are locked out of there accounts. If I cannot connect from home, then I'm gonna be doing a lot of walking back and forth. I am at work at the moment. We had a big upgrade to one of our computer systems, so we have been here since 9 a.m. this morning. I'm still waiting to go home. They really didn't need me here, but they insisted on having one IT person on hand just in case. There was one problem with performing an import, and I opened a Critical case with our National helpdesk. But then after about an hour of trying to trouble shoot the problem myself, the dude that was doing the import realized he hadn't plugged in the switch which was why the damn laptop wasn't connecting to the server.
OMG...Can I go home now? And I'm scheduled to be here tomorrow, too!!! What a waste of a weekend. Too bad I don't get paid overtime!
Anyways...I need more money. I think I may even go down to the temp agency to sign up for cleaning offices at night. I have to do something, because I'm not getting a stimulus check, because I don't have the 000 to pay on my taxes I owe. So I can't count on that!
We don't have any food, we don't have food for the damn dogs! I can't believe how tuff things are getting. I keep thinking it's gonna get better, but it's going the opposite. You know what's fucked up, too? That by the time Hombre gets out of jail, the jobs his boss has lined up are scheduled to be completed, and he has nothing else coming in right now! Yeah, I think God is mad at me...
