what a weekend

it was such a fantastic weekend, only to return to work and have everything fall appart. I have been rejected for all 4 of the jobs in my last blog. missing out on job #1 hurt more than I could have expected. The hardest part being that they made a decission before the interviews even started. My arch nemesis has yet again pulled rank and denied me an interview. On the bright side, the person they are picking can in no way handle the job, so in about 4 months I'll have another crack at it.

 

After 9 days off work, I felt so refreshed, renewed, ready to take on the world, now, I just don't want to feel anything. Granted, I had an idea that this was going to happen. I was preparing myself for it, working so close to my wife would always cause someone to be suspicious.... I guess I still held onto too much hope that it wouldn't go this way. Once again, I feel defeated, this time more than any other. Part of me wants to just stop hoping, another part of me wants to just stop trying.

 

 

it doesn't help that Christmas is just around the corner. I really don't care for this time of year and Christmas as a whole puts me in a sour mood. There is nothing like a day of people throwing around as much money as they can to help reinforce my self loathing for taking a voluntairy demotion and significant pay cut into this bottomless pit of a job.

 

if only I could have the short days of winter (oh the lovely darkness) without having to deal with the holidays.

 

Auto out-

LOL!!!! The note to Mattel is dead on. I pull my hair out constantly with my daughter bringing me clothes to put on Barbie, because she can't get them over hips.

Our oldest is also suffering from assertiveness issues. I've just been telling her to call other kids on their bad behavior when it happens and she's been happy that it mostly works. As much as we try to make our kids well-mannered, sometimes you just have to tell them not to put up with shit from kids whose parents never even tried to teach them some courtesy. The other day some boy cut in front of her on the monkey bars at school. I told her to tell him to get out of the way because it was her turn. She was surprised when he dropped down and sheepishly got back in line. Nobody's going to push my girls around.

WTF, you guys were swimming i may? I'm in cali and had to put off opening the pool for our long weekend this coming weekend because the weather's been mid 60's for weeks and no sign of that ending. The pool may as well have ice cubes floating in it ! I can't believe you guys have warm enough weather there in Ottawa to swim, unless you're all members of the polar bear club :lol:

On the topic of Barbie, i guess there's this new black barbie doll with pushed up boobs and a plunge neckline showing cleavage. It's causing quite a stir down here.

So Barbie has problems finding clothes that fit over her hips. So much for the unrealistic body image portrayal accusations...that pretty sums up the experiences of many of the non-plastic women I know :D

@Tank, I know I probably sound like a jerk complaining about work in this economy. But this job is much closer to being back in high school than any job I've ever had. for those of us who aren't in the popular crowd, it's 5x the work for 1/4 the pay.

Try Boingz from the download section. That might hold your interest or also try Blob and paint the town. Glad you had fun.

It took 'World of Goo' for the wii to break my terrible Boom Blox addiction. Check it out.
