California is Burning.
When I left work today, there was a layer of ash on my car. It was falling gently like snow. The sky was a strange combination of brown and gray; the sun shone weak and red through the haze. I had to drive all the way home with the air conditioner on as little white particles bounced off the windshield.
Hunter and Sarah had stomach flu this weekend, and now he's fine but she has a fever. She's missed an unheard-of two days of school. If she's not better tomorrow we'll have to take her to the doctor, and damn the fact that Eric's job has doubled our copay amount on the health insurance. He's using up all his sick time taking care of her, but hell, at least he gets paid sick time. I'll have to work all year to earn, like, a fucking day of sick time.
You know what disgusts me? The management at work decided to randomly assign all the Indian data entry people white-sounding names so the clients wouldn't call foul seeing "foreign" names on the job logs. Makes my head hurt just thinking about it. I hope I can find something else. Right now I feel like I fell into a big pile of shit and someone just told me the only way out is to eat it all.
Yum.
P.S. The only funny thing is that my supervisor, whom I actually like quite a bit, was just as disgusted as I was and made a big joke of going around telling all the Latinos in the office that they'd have to be assigned new names too, then picking ridiculous soap-opera-sounding names for them.
P.P.S. My new mood theme, let me show you it. It was created by murf1013 and it fucking ROCKS. BJ/Hawkeye 4evah!
