  Dallas On friday, what to do?

  by Junction-Guy in

  hi gang, i am trying to decide whether or not to just lay around the pool on friday morning and afternoon or do a walking tour of the downtown.

  i believe if we hung around the hotel on friday we could be there to meet and greet those arriving.

  we could always tour downtown dallas on saturday, however i heard that several of you are planning on saturday to be the pool day.

  i wish i could come to dallas.

  my job won't let me have time off anymore. oh they'll let me, but the days i want are already taken. i took some time off today and told them my son had a fever bc he was teething. it worked.

  god i should have never taken this job. i forgot that i wasn't a people person. i feel like smarting off to every person who claims they don't know our business rules and have a history on their account of "getting over" when they don't like something about the company. iv'e been completely broken of my smart-alec-ness.

  I WANT MY WEEKENDS BACK!!!

  i know this has nothing to do with "dallas on friday", but i feel i have to vent about not having weekends off, ever. i know ive been wanting to come to apostafests but it just seems like im always working when they're going on.

  ill probably quit this job, i can go for another one and get hired the exact same day. hell, i'm a disabled veteran now. el paso is my oyster.

  it seems that the el paso police wanted to stop me about 4 weeks ago for a busted tail light, i can live with that.. but the fact that my dashboard lights went out at the same time, it would seem that i needed to replace a fuse, and i made the officer aware of that.

  it was only gonna take 30 seconds.

  and i was in the process of moving, so it was hard to find my proof of insurance.. "no, that's ok, m'aam, ill take your word for it.".

  oh, yeah the coolest thing about this whole situation is that while waiting for the judge to call my name, i called in to a radio station during lunch hour and won a spot on a guest list to a hot club for this saturday. well i don't really like clubs, but every saturday over there is -- RETRO NIGHT!!!!!!! WOOOHAH!!!

  "oh, you're so nice, i'll take care of this ticket asap."

  "oh, and there's a chance for you to forgo the court date just show up @ the inspection station at the address on the front."

  "oh, ok, thanks a lot, sir, good night, be safe!!"

  wrong, very wrong.

  it seems that i got a letter a week b4 my court date saying the ticket was illegible and it was mandatory for me to show up not only for a busted taillight, but for lack of insurance. i was pi$$ed. and the address, its not an inspection station, that was the address of the courthouse. duh.

  but i'll fix his little red wagon. i had the fuse replaced the same night he stopped me, and i found my insurance in my middle compartment.

  this will probably take, oh, like, 2 minutes. what a waste.

  dude, tell him he'd better pay you for picking up trash, they don't make us do that @ my job. that's what they hired janitors custodians for.

  which reminds me of something else. also at my job im required to answer (and make) all types of phone calls (i work for a satellite company). for the last couple of weeks, i had to do outbound sales for about 5 hrs a day. im the top seller in my team. i asked my supervisor, "shouldn't we be getting commission for busting our a$$es all week?"

  "i'll look into it, kay."

  well we didn't get commission, but they would give a nice little cash incentive for the top 3 when the campaign was over.

  damn, im evil.

  Anyone here ever been homeless?

  i am curious, our family was homeless on and off for several years.

  i am trying to communicate to my little brother that growing up this way does not preclude one from a normal life.

  is anyone willing to share a story that i can pass on to him??

  dude, yep. right after i left the military last year. my commander decided that it was a good idea to use the time that i was supposed to be spending looking for a job, to do odd jobs around the unit (i.e., sanding the podium, scraping tape off windows, painting, garbage detail). then he acted really surprised when my last day came up and i had no job leads. so my two young children and i had to go to a homeless shelter the next day. it really sucked. the curfew was at 9 pm, you had to check on your kids every 5 minutes if they were taking a nap and you had to leave the room (to shower, do chores whatever). you cant even speak your mind -- i got kicked out because i was "threatening the staff", when all i said to that person was to "please not lock my door while i'm taking a shower". you cant even have a decent job and still stay at a homeless shelter. i was a car salesman right after i left the military, but i had to attend group therapy at the shelter, which meant i had to leave work super early. well, the boss didnt like it and said that if i wanted to keep my job i had forgo the therapy, which i didnt need in the first place. i had to resign because i was having trouble trying to buy a house and i didnt want to be on the street again. $2500/month job, gone, because of a stupid rule. and whats even more stupid is they were letting other participants not even attend therapy and when i asked why, i was told "just worry about yourself".

  things are a little better though. i have my checks from the VA coming in (for the rest of my life) and i have a decent (but not interesting) job at a satellite company. im going for a gov't job in a couple of months and finally ill be back on my feet.

  Who else is having a hard time with depression right now?

  by czarofmischief in

  i'm a loonie, but it seems that i've been dealing with some pretty severe waves of depression lately.

  her majesty the czarina went on prozac last month and it was working wonderfully, until suddenly last week she suddenly had a bad day, and then another, and then another... it's been a week now and we're both in the blahs.

  and my one co-worker had an anxiety attack and is kind of blah now, too.. anyway, that makes three people i know of who are having a bad time.

  oh, i've been depressed all my life. it's what caused me to lose my past jobs, even the one in the military. but before i got out they put me on zoloft. before i was on effexor xr, but it wasnt doing anything. and on top of that i was preggo and had to stop anyway. but after i started the zoloft, life got a little better. yeah, i still had bad days sometimes, but i didnt freak out about it. in fact i've stopped freaking out (anxiety attacks) altogether. im not saying medication is the answer to everything, but you have to admit that it helps. im not into the touchy-feely group thing anyway.

  anyway since i have have a cold, i could not smell that my guinea pigs needed to be cleaned, their cage looked fine.

  anyway, he got all pissed and said by friday it is either me (and mike) or the guinea pigs.

  dude, go for it. you don't have to put up with his crap. that's why I left the homeless shelter. but others are not as lucky as I am. I had friends to stay with, and I should have done that in the first place. but enough about me. the point is not to take anyone's crap.

  hell yeah!!
