Unbelievable.

I have somehow managed to join the ranks of the 'newly unemployed' and I barely even had a fuckin' job.
Remember I mentioned that I was going to be and had even started, painting this house that George and his boss Jamie were fixing up? Well.....
First of all, it took about three weeks from when I first looked at it, for Jamie to get the paint and shit to do the job. In the meantime, he's allegedly telling Bill (yeah THAT Bill-Eric's boss is Jamie's father-in-law) that he wasn't too happy with me, before I was even ABLE to start, because I hadn't started yet, when I had nothing to start with. That shoulda been my first clue. Instead, I laid it off on Bill trying to start shit, as usual.
I go there and from the outset, was warned very seriously about not getting any of this white-ish paint on this beautiful black (with designs) carpet. So, I was careful. I didn't get any paint on that carpet. I was doing a good job, I know I was, at a thing I don't really 'love' doing to begin with.
There was really only one or maybe two rooms where all the patching and sanding had been done. I was painting around the 'still wet' spots as it was.
I think I was only there maybe three times. I had two rooms upstairs and the upstairs hallway done and three quarters of the kitchen done and .....
I just found out this morning, from poor George (having to be the one to hafta tell me this) that Jamie has decided he doesn't want me to finish, because I'm too slow. 'Unproductive' is what he (Jamie) called it.

Siiiigh.

Do you guys see what the hell I'm talking about with just wanting to say 'fuck it all'? Not that this shit has undone all that you guys and my Dad and brother did to make me feel so much better yesterday...in fact, I do believe that that is exactly and the only thing keeping this from knocking me on my ass totally. As it is, I just got teary eyed, a little pissed at Jamie and learned two things: Just because a person rides a Harley, it doesn't mean shit except assholes can buy 'em, too (putting a serious dent in my love of 'bikers' but not killing it completely...I just expected too much from this particular one, I guess.) and that I will never, ever again attempt to work for anyone in any way affiliated with this farm or who are in any way related to this family. They are all fucked in the head. (As in..."Holy shit...it ain't just Bill...damn")
Wanna know the strangest part of it all for me? It's the MEN around here who suck so bad. The wives of the guys who do this mindless shit are pretty cool. Bill's wife takes in babies who need a home. She's done this with literally hundreds of kids in her life and she's a really nice lady. Jamie's wife is pretty, she's funny and nice and she even rides her own Harley. (Now I see why...)
After a lifetime of trusting men over women, I feel like I'm in some kinda parallel universe on this stupid farm, or something. Around here, the men are the useless assnugget fucktards and the women are the humans. Odd.
It better not infect Eric or I will hang up my jock.

And, I repeat: I HAVE HAD JUST ABOUT ENOUGH OF THIS SHIT.

Okay? God? Ye Almighty Deaf One? Can Ya give me a freakin break here, please? And, no, not one of my limbs or my mind. If Ya don't want to help me...fine. Just leave me alone then. Go find someone else to be Job the Second in drag.
Bully.

Sincerely, but with a real attitude,
me

I'mina go bake something. Now lets's see. Should it be another cake...or my brain? Hmmm. I just baked a cake last night, soooo I guess it'll just hafta be 'my brain' this time....puff, puff, inhale....hold...and release. Yeah, that sounds like a wiener of an idea to me.
I'll be back.
Giggling, I'm sure.

Peace.
(Know where I can find any?)
lmao

1 Hiya Darlin. I hear you, and although you can't see it, I too am nodding my head, thinking "can't I just get some good news ONCE IN A WHILE?"

I know that they say that life always has a silver lining and that things will always look up. But maybe that's not always the case. At any rate, the blog world is chock full of people that can help pat you on your back, give you an e-hug, and tell you (and mean it) that they understand and are here for you.

I am one of them. This tiny comment is my e-hug, but I promise you that I too am out here, and know just what you mean.

2 Oh. My. God. You are sooo sweet! Eric was here with me when I read your comment. When I saw your name on the email, I turned to him and said, "My God. That's Helen. You remember, the girl I told you about in Sweden? After what she's been through, if this comment is any more than 'Aww, shut up...", I'll just die. That woman has been through so much more than me and here she is..."
Then I scrolled down and we read it together and...you are just amazing. As I sat with (good for a change) tears in my eyes, Eric says, "See? Here, let me give you that hug for her", then he did. (Man, you hug good!)
Thank you, Sweet Lady, for caring so much. I'm being so covered in good things from you guys (my blog-buddies) that I actually feel more levelled out than I have in a while. It's like the visit from my Dad and brother, plus all the things people have told me here, have not only erased the bad from the last few days, it made me better than I was right before this last shitstorm.
So...thank you again and I swear I will 'get there'. One way or the other, no matter how bad it gets or how long it takes, I will make it.
Because of you and the others...I will make it.
I believe that completely....now.
*hugs* and a kiss on the cheek to you, Dear Lady. (and the rest of ya's too!)

3 Add an e-hug from me to the batch. Sounds like somebody got a bug wedged squarely up his ass when he was dumb enough to fire you. Fuck him. At least YOU know that you did a great job, and now he's got a mostly-painted place until he can find a replacement (who won't even be half as charming and efficient!).

Hang in there, sister. And bake a few brain cells for me while you're at it!
