Start all over again

It's been kind of a crappy week.

First I get dumped by my employer and now they are saying that I quit - which I didn't. Actually they said it was a mutual agreement - that isn't true either. I know I didn't like the job but I was trying and I certainly don't want to be unemployed in this economy.

It's amazing how fast people can turn on you. The daughter of Frau Blucher hasn't even had the courage to say a word to me, but I am fairly certain she's writing the script for the Peep of Sales on exactly what to write. If they fight me on my unemployment claim I will have no choice but to get out the mean lil' Shazza with her Irish temper.

Then we get 12 inches of snow - which I didn't really mind too much but I'm kind of looking for warmer weather now.

Tuesday thru Wednesday I did a lot of lying about - sulking and feeling sorry for myself. It's not very attractive, but I think every once in a while it's healthy. Yesterday I got outside and took the pups for a walk and that helped clear the fog a little. Then I came home and read all of the e-mails from "those people" and got pissed off and sulky all over again. I even snapped at M last night.

That's not really like me.

I stayed up til' midnight watching the History channel - they were having a show about Hippies and the whole LSD movement of San Francisco. Very interesting. It's weird to watch people tripping out on TV.'

So I slept in until about 10:00 AM, took a shower, ate my breakfast and then took the boys out for another walk. It was about 60 degrees today and the warm temps are doing a fine job of melting all of this snow.

The boys met a lot of new doggie friends - a golden retriever named Chance, a little black terrier thing named Teddy who was only 5 months old - cute as hell, a pit bull who looked a little cautious but gave Casey a kiss on the nose (probably just getting a taste of him) and then one very weird looking dog with BIG, ears, a rat terrier face and a tail that curled up like an Akita. Weirdest looking thing I've ever seen and he was petrified of the boys. I got a good chuckle over him.

I ran a few errands: picked up dog food, picked up people food and picked up wine for the weekend.

Got home - cleaned up the dog turds and then gave my compost a toss about.

Checked Monster.com and LinkedIn for any new jobs - nuthin.

Shredded a bunch of mail - that was extremely satisfying! Nothing like a little destruction to cheer you up!

Had a random thought that I should buy some rain barrels to catch all of this melting snow!

Had another random thought and wondered if I can throw the shredded paper in the compost. (yes I can)

Cleaned off the snow from the deck so it will drying out and M and I can enjoy a nice chiminea fire perhaps on Saturday sometime.

Flattened out all of the cardboard so I can take it to the recycle center tomorrow and now I'm just typing all this up before I go start dinner. I'm making pepper steak tonight. Yum!

It's after five - WINE TIME! heh, heh, heh!

So - how all have you been? I hope your week went better than mine.

Tomorrow if I have a chance I'll post some of the pictures I've been taking with the new camera. I'm having a blast with the macro settings!

I'll leave you with this song for the end of the week - it's kind of the way I feel - like a maniac or maybe I'm just manic and need to up my meds. Who the hell knows!

Have a great weekend all!



Peace
