Damn, its been over a month since I last posted. Alot has happened since then.
I got my first ticket for pulling out in front of a speeding state trooper who didn't have to swerve or EVEN SLOW DOWN to avoid me. I was fine, I didn't do anything wrong, but now I have a $115 ticket sitting in my purse for a moving violation of the right of way. I didn't have a current insurance paper in my car since I had just switched insurance companies, so I also have a $71 ticket for lack of prrof of insurance, but if I take proof when I go to pay my ticket that one will get thrown out. /le sigh
I had gotten a job that seemed so great. It was easy enough, I had cleaned houses for six years with my grandmother so I knew I could do it. I meet the woman I would be working with, Lori, and she is super nice. I got to know her and we became friends. I found out she was quitting on the 15th of January because 5 years of working for Stephanie (our boss) had taken its toll on her back and all. She would be getting a part time job somewhere and doing a few houses on the side. When our customers found this out, some of them wanted to stay with her. When you need someone to clean your house, you want someone you know and you can trust. You don't want some new person coming into your house each week. And all of our customers were older people who needed it because most of them couldn't do it. Well, some of the other girls told Stephanie and she ended up coming to me and interrogating me about Lori and asking me the names of each customer she told she would be doing houses (like I knew! I was there to clean houses, not to listen in and spy on Lori and take down notes on what she talked to everyone about, you know?)and when I told her I couldn't remember because I didn't pay attention she told me that I /needed/ to remember. And she's taking Lori to court because she had a no compete clause in her contract (which cannot be enforced because this is a Right To Work state). The next day I found out from Lori's husband that Stephanie went to Lori, got in her face and told her I came up to her and told her all these things. I didn't tell the bitch anything, I didn't like her. Hell, the woman called me "that girl" for two fucking weeks. Our company isn't that big. So, combined with the over scheduling, when I found out that not only did my boss not care about employees (she asked me to drive almost to Ponte Vedra up A1A in a car with a nearly broken tie rod without a cell phone and told me if I broke down I could call the woman whose house I was supposed to clean form someone's house) but that she was also a back-stabbing liar, I quit. Right then and there.
So now, its been over two weeks and I still haven't gotten my pay checks. I told Christy that I'd be up to pick one up the Friday before last and she ended up ignoring me and mailing it without having my mailing address. I was up at the post office Saturday morning 20 minutes after they opened and the postmistress looked for it and could not find it. It had not been mailed Friday as they had said. By Tuesday, it had not been through the post office at all, not even as a return to Absolute Cleaning's address. So after fighting with them a little, I called the Federal Wage and Hour Department and she had until Tuesday at 1 for me to recieve my check in the mail.
That's today. If it isn't up there when I go at 1 today, there will be hell to pay. I have no gas, I have no cash, I have a ticket and insurance bill to pay, an anniversary present to buy for Brandon and a couple of Valentine's Day presents to buy. I need my fucking money.
Manda: The Hoggetown Faire is this weekend and next. I can't go this Saturday because one of the girls who I keep is having a birthday party that day, but I'd really like to go and hang out with you and maybe Mitko. I still have your Christmas present waiting in my car. Every time I call I can never get through (I think it may be our cell phones - they've been having lots of problems, but they're being replaced this weekend. >^.^<), but I'm going to keep trying.
Jessie: Call me! I have something for you!
