7/10 month so far. hit some bumps along the way but nothing too bad. we'll see how the next few weeks of the month turn out but so far i can't complain too much aside from my job annoying the crap out of me as per usual. u_u

Glad to hear and hope it stays that way, minus the bit at the end about your job being annoying. What do you work in if you don't mind sharing?

i really want to, but i think giving away what i do is going to allow people to add 2+2 together pretty quickly and figure out my actual employer, which is easier than you'd think if i went into specifics.

let's just say i work in the call center industry and leave it at that; it's all pretty similar for the most part regardless of area of focus anyway. u_u

So I may or may not be getting sued. I don't actually know, yet.

So, last year I wrecked the car. Totaled it, in fact. But, in order to do that, someone else had to hit me. And they sent me a legal document asking for me to verify a bunch of information in relation to my insurance situation and wealth standing. This may be a prelude to me getting sued. So, I'm just having a great year, so far ^.=.^;

That is, in fact, about the T-bone. So, yeah, this week has been fun, reliving that anxiety.

I remember when my co-worker was told one of her best friends had passed away while she was at work, in her office, she let out a sound that we all thought was her laughing but was actually just her mourning so intensely it was offputting.

I'd hate to receive a call like that whilst at work. I take it it wasn't someone so close you had to take the remaining shift off or more but still, someone you knew still takes it out of you for some time, sounds like it was sudden as well.

This month is seemingly not going so well for a few of us huh. All I can do is hope something good comes around instead.

@Moonface : Ah, I misread, thought you were at work at the time of the call, but it was from work about your coworker. Oof, that is terrible. Hope she's allowed time off for that then, especially after passing out.

Ah of course, no one willing to help your section out when it's clear someone will be off for a while, typical.

Yesterday was my Dad's birthday and we enjoyed a bit of bowling and a meal, but then we got the news later on that my step granddad had finally passed away. Sad but also happy to know he's at rest now, no longer lying about waiting for the end, he caught a lung infection while in care and couldn't swallow food on top of it all. He spent a couple days over a month in hospital/hospice so it wasn't for too long, though I'd imagine it felt long to him.

It'll be a first time meeting some of his side of the family, I only ever met his daughter at my nan's, but the only stories I've heard from the other side's grand kids (my generation that is) hasn't been great, basically just asking him for money whenever they visited him. I don't want to ever interact with them beyond this gathering if they do attend, perhaps they might have a decent side to them but the money crap is enough to not want to know any more.
