Crap Friday...
So my Friday was pretty crap. I don't want to talk too much about it since I'm still upset and hurt, I can't seem to not think about it without almost crying, but I felt I should say something. 1) Our temp is now a permanent employee. 2) My e-mail was taken in a completely different way it should have been. I need to e-mail a reply, probably in a week once I can type it and actually mean what I say. First I'm not a team player for thinking the receptionist should be able to do her job. Where was this team spirit when I was the receptionist working my butt off and going in on weekends to keep a float? No one told me that it was ok to not pick up the calls. In fact I would stop mid-sentence to pick up a call because I knew there was a 95% chance no one would. Now all of the sudden we're supposed to pick up her slack because she sucks. (I still haven't found a better way of saying it.) 3) My boss who wrote me also mentioned the length of minutes we had in June. And? Unless there are 3 or more calls coming in the phones aren't busy. I figured out that the average call probably lasts 5 minutes. That means there are about 700 calls that came in June. She shouldn't be on the phone for more then an average of 1 minute for each of those calls. Does anyone else see where I'm going with this?
I knew from the get go I should have kept my mouth shut, but he questioned why I didn't say something sooner the last time. That's the only reason why I said anything. Each time I speak up it backfires on me. Either I haven't given them enough time, seems even a month isn't long enough, or I'm too harsh (doing simple tasks like picking up the phone is asking too much), but no matter what it seems I'm always seen in a poor light. A co-worker mentioned not everyone is perfect. No one is asking for perfect. I was expecting her to do her freakin' job. I refuse to believe her anymore since there's no way on God's green Earth the last company she worked for had 300 calls a day and if they did she sure as hell wasn't helping with them. I won't be mean to her, that's not my style, but I'm not going to go out of my way to be nice to her.
My mom is coming today for a movie and "to do lunch". It will be nice to get out, but I'm not so sure on her movie choice. It seems ok, but I always wonder how much they twisted the story to make it "exciting". Lunch should be good though, not sure where we'll end up going.
Friday night we had a blackout so after an hour or more my husband and I decided to get out of the hot hellish house. I took him to see a house I was thinking about, but it needs too many things for us to buy it. One being a door to the backyard besides through the garage. The kitchen needs redone as well. I also showed him a new housing complex where the houses start much lower then the other one, plus no HoA fees so who knows. I also showed him where one of the apartment complexes we might move into is. Well that's it for me. The one bright spot would have to be getting a pm from Airi telling me what she's sending me for my wedding gift is something OFFICAL of Jun! <3 I can't wait to get it!

Really?!
I keep wanting to write about this, but I always end up writing about something else. Even now I have something else I want to speak about, but I want to say it before I forget...again.
My realtor is a wonderful woman. She's nice, funny, sweet, thoughtful and you can tell she is earnestly trying to be what a Christian is supposed to be. One day we are driving to another house to look at and some how the topic of having children came up. I can't remember how it progressed to it, but I think it's because I keep saying that it's good to buy a 3 bedroom for the resell value. All Matt and I need is a master since we don't really have guests. It's not like my mom sleeps over when she visits. Any ways she said something very shocking to me. She asked me who would take care of my husband and I when we got older if we didn't have kids. Really?! That's your reason why you have kids is so you have a 50% chance they won't hate your guts and might love you enough to not dump you in some cheap ass old folks home? That's why most people spend over 1 million dollars on raising a kid? I thought that's what a living will and making sure you save for retirement and such things are for. Then again maybe that's why a lot of people have more then one kid. You know, the whole "don't put all of your eggs in one basket" sort of deal.
Take my sister for example. My mom raised her with love. She cared for her, gave her more things and money she ever gave me and yet my sister's a huge bitch that really doesn't give a crap about my mom. If I wasn't around that means my mom would have a pretty slim chance of living comfortably when she's in her 80's. For appearance's sake she might put her in a nice old person's home, but I doubt she'd do more then that. My sister sometimes means well, sometimes, but more often then not she can't see past her own nose.
I also love how people will tell me, "Oh you are young, you or your husband might change your mind." No, I'm not young and there's no way my mind will be changed. There's no way my husband's mind would be changed. I also find it funny how the people who say it almost always have kids. While they may think giving birth (Something I find rather repulsive.) and raising a child is something wonderful and everyone should go through with it. Why? Really, what's so wonderful about children? I don't see anything that I could get from a child that I can't get from my husband and I didn't have to pay out of my ass to raise him since that's been taken care of. Ok I've heard some reasons, but they are all selfish and self serving. So what's wrong with going to the flip side of that and being selfish and self serving by NOT having kids?
