More Complaints

I swear I don't complain all the time but lately I've been quite down and it seems that the old adage about when it rains it pours is true.

• Last week in the midst of my mourning for my Aunt, my D lost his job and this has really bothered him quite a bit, not just because he lost his job but because of the way his cowardly boss did it. The jerk brought up a bunch of random stuff from the past, all of which D could answer for, but he tried to make is sound as if it was D's fault and that he deserved to be laid off. In actuality, what their company did is directly reliant upon construction and manufacturing and they've been rapidly loosing clients for the past year and what it truly comes down to is a lack of work and a lack of money. This has been pretty demoralizing to my poor D and I and I am struggling to rely on my faith the God will bring us through. Meanwhile, my hopes for our future seem pushed further and further into financial oblivion.
• I learned today that there is a little bit of restructuring going on in our marketing department and my new supervisor is the director of marketing who lives two states away! My current supervisor is making a lateral move and becoming the internal marketing director. Apparently all of this could mean a possible opportunity for upward movement for me but I have to ask myself, do I really want that? Sure, I suppose it would mean a change in pay but it would also mean quite a shift in responsibility and I still feel like a kid half the time!
• It is way too cold and I'm sick of winter and snow and ice and wind chill and being cold because running the heater is expensive, also static electricity and sweaters and dry skin and dripping, stopped up, sneezing no-good noses and chapped lips and hands and tired eyes.
• I bought Mary Kay eye primer so that I could use those nifty cream eye shadows without it gathering in my crease and giving me a line and it doesn't work. I let it and the eye shadow dry well and yet I have nice little blue lines across my eyelids. Nice :(
• They moved and set up the wrong desks from the annex to the office. They took the shelf like desk tops that don't have drawers for storing stuff and I doubt there will be room for the two desks they have so far left behind that do have the drawers.
• Because A is my new boss and will be doing my schedule and there are several weekend events in February, I might not get my Friday evenings off for the dance class that I paid 80 dollars for and worked hard to convince D to take with me. Stupid boss in far away state. Who moves two states away and still gets to keep their job and gets skyped in for meetings all the time and flown in at the company's expense once a month? WHO!!!!???? In this economy? It ridiculous! Our front desk staff has been drastically cut in the last two months to save money and they still fly her in?! GRRR!!!
