This month has brrn the absolute shit, and not in a good way.
Things seemed to be going okay for the first week and second week. Unfortunately my mom proved that she's just as sloppy and careless when living with people that she doesn't know as she is with living with me. And then the missing roommate came back...besides being an alcoholic, he's worse than her! I didn't feel like staying in the house with a drunk, or cleaning up after two grown people so I started sleeping at home.
Week three I worked overnight with Satan's children. It ended with one of them quitting and threatening me before I left. I need a vacation. Things were so bad that I called Matt and asked him to come get me for the weekend. You know...the ex? That forgot I existed for a year? And then suddenly showed back up again and started acting like that year never happened? Yeah, my week was THAT bad. But I had a good weekend.
So now there's this week. The house was supposed to be finished by saturday. My mom has to be out of her room by saturday. But the water company came over the weekend to turn off the water to the neighbor's house, and turned ours off instead. And so, the plumber has been unable to finish his work. Because I was away from home saturday and sunday, and my mom didn't feel like she should show some responsibility and go sit in HER house until someone came to turn the water back on, two days of work were lost. When I spoke to her yesterday, I asked her if the water was on. Her response was "I guess so, they said they would turn it on". But no one checked. So I'm here today, I made her call them back and send someone over here, but the contractors covered up the valve. So the water is supposedly on outside, but we couldn't check. One of her friends knows exactly where it is, so I told her to call him and then call the contractors so they can uncover it, but she doesn't want to. She wants to give me the number so I can do it.
Now...I could. Nothing's really stopping me other than my dislike for her friend. But I make sure the bills get paid each month, because she can't even bother herself to pay her share. I'm expected to do all the cleaning. I'm expected to do all the cooking. I took care of the dog. I even PICK HER USED INSULIN NEEDLES UP OFF THE FLOOR! Her sister is kind enough to spend who knows how many thousands of her own money to fix a house that she doesn't even live in, and my freaking mother can't even take 10 minutes to make two phone calls?!?!
So....tonight I'm going to finish filling out my application for this temp agency and reapply at verizon. And when I get a new job, I'm out. It's too bad that I decided to stay to help her buy furniture, because I could have been gone by now. I suck.
