Yeah I know...long time no update. Big shocker there.

First major life event to discuss, I lost my job yesterday. My boss owns her own business and I was helping out 5 days a week because she had 2 small kids to take care of, been working there about 2 and a half years now, easy work and I get to bring my youngest with me instead of leaving her in a day care. Recently I began to notice my boss's husband staying home a lot, saying he was sick, blaming the weather conditions and even milking a fender bender for almost a month. I ignored it, his lazy ass wasn't my problem. I've been working nonstop since I was 15 because my parents raised me to have work ethic. /rant Anyways my boss busted her knee and was laid up in bed for a while, so in addition to doing her job and mine I wound up helping around their house. The shop I work in is in their basement so I'm usually upstairs in their house to use the bathroom or get coffee or whatever. The husband was supposed to be keeping up with the house...big surprise he wasn't. I walk in one morning and there's dirty diapers on the floor, food all over the place, piles and piles of dirty dishes...it was horrible. And my mother taught me well, there's no mistaking that fact. When someone is laid up you do whatever needs to be done so they can get better. So I cleaned. I unloaded and loaded the dishwasher 3 times, scrubbed everything else with soapy water and wiped up the floor. By time I finished it was almost 10am and I know my boss needs to take her pain meds around 9am...but her husband hadn't come down stairs to get her food to take it with...so I put my ear to the door and I can hear him snoring...and I can hear her crying with pain. So I got her a cup of coffee and made her eggs and toast. I was getting increasingly pissed off at her husbands laziness...I can deal with keeping an eye on their twin daughters, who just play down in the playroom with my kid anyways, but I shouldn't have to clean someone elses house and feed someone elses wife.

Just to give you an idea of what sort of asshole this guy is. So long story short, he's addicted to World of Warcraft...and he stopped going to work recently to play it...so they fired him. I show up Friday to work and get told that they can't afford to pay me anymore. But they don't know how to do the sales and shipping themselves so they're going to keep me on about 8 hours a week.

Pain in my fucking ass. So I'm currently looking for another job.

This weekend also happened to be my finals. Nice right? I just finished my last exam a few hours ago so I'm still pretty brain dead...

But just so there's less doom and gloom in this blog entry I'll try to think up some cool shit.

Wednesday was pretty cool, I was driving down the road and its sort of an industrial road a lot of people use to avoid morning traffic, the speed limit is 35 or so...but everyone does 60. I was truckin along and I noticed someone flash their lights at me. But I wasn't really sure if I imagined it or not because the road is bumpy so sometimes that tricks you...but then the next person did it...so I slowed down to 35. Sure enough there was a parked cop car just out of sight farther up along the road. Extremely relieved and thankful for the people who warned me I started flashing my lights at upcoming cars, and was pleased when I looked in the rear view mirror and saw everyone's brake lights.

Gives you some faith in humanity.

Well it gave me faith in humanity...but right now my faith in my son's compassion is up for review.

Some weekends my little brother who's 15 comes to stay over for a few nights, and usually he sleeps on a blow up mattress in my son's room. But all day my brother has been coughing...so now my son has kicked him out of his room saying "I don't want your stupid swine flu". Little mean? Yeah probably...but its really funny to see a 7 year old giving shit to a teenager. They act more like brothers than uncle and nephew.

Oh...In art news I've been teaching an informal art class a few afternoons a week. Not making much of a profit from it but I enjoy it so its nice. Basically I'm teaching world art to sibling group that's being home schooled. It started out with me showing them a batik I made, then the mother asked me if I could teach her kids and now it's turned into a nice little class. I'm hoping now that I'll have more time on my hands I can get business cards made up and go further.

And yes I do plan on posting the batik I made, just got a lot going on right now lol. There's also an abandoned and dilapidated barn and house I really want to take pictures of, so be on the look out for that.

I'm also going to see Paranormal Activity on Monday...so while I'm too scared shitless to sleep maybe I'll update my journal again.
