Goodbye Girl
Yesterday was my day to go to the office and pick up my things. First, though, I had to go to a meeting at my mother’s new home. It was the standard meet after a week thing, and there’ll be another one in about 6 weeks. That lasted from 9:00 til 10:00, then I stopped to see my mother for a minute. She was asleep in a chair in the main lounge, so even though my aunt woke her, I then didn’t feel like staying because she was half asleep.
I headed off downtown. It was funny driving downtown in that traffic after being used to taking the highway for a month. I kept feeling like there was going to be an accident, but there wasn’t.
I arrived at the office and things felt a little awkward. Only 2 people were there and so I started making small talk about the meeting in the morning.
Once that was done I went over to my ex-computer and started removing all the programs that were mine. Some of them they really could use but I felt like, “fuck you, buy your own programs”, and took them off.
Then I gathered up all my stuff (geez I had a shitload of things there that saved the company money in purchasing them for their employee) and took everything down to my car.
I was about to leave when the boss decided that we should all go to lunch. I suggested the sushi place down the street, even though I don’t eat sushi, I knew she liked it, and they also serve other things that I could eat. I had the combo plate of shrimp tempura and teriyaki chicken. It was good.
What we discussed was me working on some of their stuff from home. I agreed to do this on an hourly basis because they did get in funding for that. So I’m waiting to receive those things.
What we didn’t discuss was what we will do with her new website. From the time I first got the news that there was ‘no job’, my immediate reaction was to trash the whole website, again with the “fuck you” idea in the back of my mind, but I didn’t do that. Perhaps I will be maintaining that too on an hourly basis. We’ll see. I’m hosting the effing site for free, so I’ll have to see if I remain so generous.
Bottom line is that I (think) I have some part-time work to do. Part time doesn’t pay the bills, baby. I did hear back from a job I applied for online on Sunday night. That one was also working at home so it would be nice to do both and have a full full-time job, but I won’t hear back from them til next week – if I hear back.
Today I have to go mail in all my tax stuff by registered mail – that only equals about $22,000 now that I’ll owe for taxes. I guess I should be ecstatic that it’s not $40,000. See…. there’s always a bright side!
Then I’ll go and apply for unemployment. Thankfully the one-month job that I just finished will be paying me tomorrow. That’ll take care of my overdraft and then I’ll need to start paying my bills with it, so my overdraft will be overdrawn again. Come to me money. I am channelling my energies into being a money magnet. Come to me.

is the new 30. I want the world to close their mouths when they’re eating or chewing gum. If they don’t, I want to elbow them in the face.
