This is for Camille, I doubt anyone else wants to read it
So, I talked to Josh today. He's agreed to ask off for the 15th and 16th of February when he goes in. Actually, when the guy calls him, he's gonna ask who he needs to talk to about asking off and stuff. Progress there.
But I still can't talk him in to calling Walgreens now about when he'd start. He said if he doesn't hear from them by Friday, he'll call. Well, what happens if the guy he's supposed to talk to isn't there? Where does that leave me? At home with no boyfriend to visit. What if the guy doesn't show up until later Saturday? What if he calls so late, Josh can't leave until Saturday, but I have to work, so what's the point because it'll almost be time for me to leave for work when he gets there? He's afraid of talking to people. I've told him he's going to have to get used to it because he's going to be working with these people now. And I've told him that I should be important enough to overcome that fear because nothing else is going to work out.
I'm gonna go call and ask him about Friday.
EDIT: Okay, so I talked to him, and I need to learn to just keep my big mouth shut. All I did was cause more problems, and now he's saying I knew that I had two days off in a row, why didn't I go up there? Well, now, I do believe that might have been because I just took two trips up there and don't have gas money for it. Or it might be the fact that for a week I've been trying to get him to come down here this weekend...before he even got an interview. He doesn't think that telling his new employer right off the bat about all these days he needs off is good, but what about me?? I seriously have been trying to get him to come down here. We had agreed he'd come down here this next time because I just went twice and would be going up more often because he had school. Now he has a job. He's not being fair to me.
Not to mention the fact that I have to repeat to him several times a day what my schedule is or why this is the better idea or whatever. He's been told everyday what my weekend schedule is, plus three times today before the latest phone call. Then, he asks if I work Friday. Um, kind of annoying having to repeat myself. Doesn't he remember that we decided he should come Thursday night because 8:30 isn't really that late and I have Friday off so we'd actually have the whole day to do something? Doesn't he remember that I have been telling him this weekend is best because I only work 3.5 hours Saturday night? MY FREAKING GOD. I'm sick of this. It's so annoying. Obviously it's too much to ask for him to remember anything I've said, even if I've said it a thousand times before.
And this is turning into a big fight when I'm not trying to turn it into a big fight. I just feel like I'm being lost in the background. No, he can't make everyone happy, but I sure as heck don't like feeling like I'm the one being left behind!
He griped about how much gas is going to cost him our first phone call, so I told him not to come this weekend and he got mad. Well, I was just trying to help him. This trip will take the most gas, so doesn't it make sense to get rid of the biggest burden? Yeah, that's what I thought, but he saw it as me being mean. Grawr.
