Well that wasn't expected

Alright so yesterday I missed a work meeting because I was babysitting all day. So when I turned the keys in at work, my boss asked if I had time to go over what was talked about. He handed me a list of what was talked about - the second thing on the list was about cleaning the rooms (side note - I was hired to be a front desk clerk but because this is our slow season, clerks were asked to help clean the rooms to help save money. When we were asked, I wasn't at the other property so I didn't agree.). I told him that I hate cleaning the rooms; I didn't apply for that, didn't agree to it and I'm not being paid to do it. I have bad hips, which affects my back, knees and feet. Ive been limping for 2 weeks. I cant afford to put myself in harms way - physically or monetarily. He said that he didn't want me to be in pain, or see me in pain but didn't want to fire me because I couldn't do my job. He said that there weren't any positions at the other hotel (which I was originally hired at) to switch me to, so he kindly suggested that I start looking for another job. He also asked me to keep him updated on whether or not I had found a new job.

....

It looks like that opportunity is looking more and more like what I should be doing. I guess its time to buckle down and take advantage of the month and a half I have left to take care of business.

wishes and fishes

I wish I could help my best friend TK. I wish I had the money and the time to rescue her from the awful situation that she's in despite her best efforts. And I wish I could scoop up her kids A and K so that she could get some rest and relaxation. I wish I could take them to a kids museum, a park and out to eat - just spend time with them all. I wish I could, but I can't and my heart aches because of that.
