Wow, almost two weeks without an update, huh? I have perfectly good and valid reasons for that, but I'm not going to bore you with them. Besides, I don't really owe them to anyone do I? It's been a very dramatic two weeks though! Juicy with the drama! And gossip!
So first of all, I broke up with a friend last week, and if I told you the story behind it, your jaw would drop just the way the rest of my friends' jaws have dropped. But it's long and involved and oh so very high school that I'm not going to revisit it now. Suffice it to say that it was a friendship that's been dying since March, and everyone involved is better off with it being done. Besides, i have way bigger drama to deal with right now.
Y'all are not going to believe this.
Kevin got laid off again today.
This one was kind of expected though, because his company has been dicking him around since they hired him and also, they suck. They told him they were going to hire him on permanent after 30 days, and after 90 days he'd gotten nothing but the run around.
"Oh, you'll be permanent after you interview with the president. Here, have some free fruit."
"Oh, there's budget issues so we can't hire you yet. Here, have some free soda."
"Hang in there, Kevin, and work on being a team player. Oh, and come have a free fancy dinner on the company's tab."
So last week, after the latest round of assholery, he confronted them (in a very well-worded and polite email) (I should know, I'm the one who rewrote it) and today was told that he "wasn't a good personality fit." In other words, "Stop calling us on our bullshit and go away."
It's a whole big long story, which I will tell in more detail tomorrow. My own job is not without drama lately so I've not had time to update at work, but we finally got one of the replacement computers and hooray, now I can update from home! So no more two week droughts, okay?

Oh wow. My condolences to Kev. May he find something and far better suited quicker than quick. ~LA
Well....damn. I mean, really. Damn. But good for you for not putting up with getting the runaround. Let me know if there's stuff or things I can do.
Well frell. May he find something relatively quickly. It's an interesting (and by interesting I mean annoyingly irritating) job market out there right now.
I'm so sorry to hear that. Damn, that sucks!
Wow. Damn. I hope Kevin finds a new job that won't dick him around and that you 2 can find and afford the new place you were looking for. I'm sorry about the suckage, and I wish there was something more I could do. *hugs*
