After a couple of months of working at the most God-awful place I've ever had the misfortune of being associated with, I was let go without notice and due to complaints that were all falsified. They're not kidding anyone. I know they didn't like having a gay in their midsts. They made it so very very clear. And it didn't help that my boss made of point of telling me not to let anyone know I was a lesbian, since "Some people here won't like that".
Unfortunately, it's their word against mine.
I'm back to job hunting, and maybe this time it'll actually be a place worth working at. I wasn't even there a whole day before I knew it was a mistake. They fired three people at least while I was there. I imagine there will always be a big turnaround at that hopsital.
In happier news, I decided I was ready to bring a new kitten into my life. I figured maybe sometime this summer, but alas, shortly after deciding I was ready, I found Frankie.
Just try saying no to that face! We were told he was 5 months, but later figured out he's actually more like a year old. Which I'm kind of happier about, in a way. He's been welcomed with open arms into our house, and is even starting to be friends with Hershey. Precious is tricker, but I think it'll work out.
YAMS, the young adults ministry that myself and my friend Kate have been building at church, is finally picking up. I've been pretty much on my own since December, since she's not back from school for a few more months. I'm working on a bonfire. The biggest sticking point I've had is that no one communicates. I hear "invite me to anything! Anytime!" then I say "Saturday work?" and get "Eh..."
Once a small group of us are together I'm going to put my foot down and say "Ok, we're going to have a monthly meeting and we're going to set the schedule right. Second something of every month." I'm having a bonfire, which should be the place to get it going. Ugh, I hate people sometimes. Everything is just made so difficult for no real reason.
I seriously need some kind of adjustable tripod for my digital camera. I have so much trouble keeping it steady.
I found a new song that cheers me up a bit. It's the Sunshine Song by Jason Mraz. On his most recent live album. I was a little surprised to read in his blog that he's not actually as carefree and happy as he seems. Though something always told me he was trying to be happy, which I admire. I don't always try. It makes me tired.
