Bug In Ice

There’s an insurance agent on the south side of town with a display that looks like a Bug plowed over a fire hydrant.  There is a small fountain where the hydrant would have been.  So the fountain, coupled with the structure the Bug provided, and the bitter cold we’ve had the past week, has produced something of an ice bubble.  I took several pictures yesterday.  Here’s one of my favorites.

Interesting!

ryn: well in her defense, she had been there before, and there really isnt a lot to see in do in Mexico, so relaxing by the pool was her idea of a fun time. Thats ok. I didnt mind going out with her step dad he was cool. And I got to see a lot of the markets and eat some authentic food. Which was good, but probly helped in making me sick! 🙁

RYN: Thank you for your note. I really do appreciate the male perspective on the situation.

ryn: thanks! It’s good to be back. And I think I made the right decision, too. How is your brother doing?? I miss that guy! 🙂

ryn: I texted Jeff last night. I’m going to give him a call this weekend. I think he’s going to come visit in a few weeks. It’s so funny that I have hung out with your brother, but not you!

Thank you 🙂 I’m obsessed with words and other languages so when people abuse the your/you’re thing I get a bit upset. Things like “Me and George went to the cinema” instead of “George and I went to the cinema” don’t bother me because the meaning’s still clear but… ugh… haha, sorry I’m rambling. But yeah, that comic’s cute 🙂 Cheers xx

ryn: yes we do have HR. I think I will go file a complaint. I’m taking a personal day Saturday so I can talk to my parents about things. I probably should have gone to HR when one of my sous chefs called me a **** too, but I didnt. But this time I had better.

ryn: i do know some nerds, but i think that show has taken the nerd and multiplied it by a million… i figured it out, it’s their voices and dialogue that i find annoying, the story line is alright.

ryn: Yes I did know most of that due to having had to go up to HR as a witness for another issues with co-workers. However, if I make a complaint, I am sure that my chef and sous chef will get called in and have to make a statement. And they may get reprimanded for forcing me to open up my personal issues. Unless the two of them lie to cover it up and HR take their side over mine….?

ryn: I dont want to bring up Tam and Erica, but their relationship is actually more than half of the examples I have in which I have been treaed unfairly. Example: We she came in still drunk one day, and Tam did nothing to punish her, and in that same week he wrote me up for “Not partaking in taking down the buffet” was his claim, but when I confronted him about it he told me the real reason he

he wrote me up was becasue I Was beinga ****. Not because I didnt do my job, but because I was being a ****. If that doesnt show favoratism then IDK what does. I have numerous examples where Erica has gotten away scot free, but I am in trouble. I dont want to blow up thier personaly biz to HR, but if I need to provide examples I can, and I have co-workers who can back me up. And there will be no

way to keep quiet about their relationship. If HR wants to know why I feel this way, I can prove it. But the question is do I want to? No. But will I have to? I hope not.

ryn: And I know that they wont fire me for going up to HR, but I think they will be pissed that I went up there and they will find little reasons to write me up, in retaliation, enough times where I end up fired. To HR it will look legit. But Chef and I will know the real reason behind the write ups…retaliation.

I am in treatment, I have a therapist. SHe is not much help. I pray everyday. God simply doesnt answere my prayers. I have been praying, begging and pleading with him for a new job to come my way for a year and a half. And nothing. Thats too long to have to wait for a simple new job. I apply like mad, and I never get a call back. He knows how sick and mad and depressed I am from that job,

yet he keeps me stuck in that place with no way out. Making me angrier, sicker, more depressed. He just wants me to hurt and suffer for my sins.

ryn: thanks. I get frusturated and I dont feel like God answeres any of my prayers, but I do still continue to pray. Hoping that maybe he will answere them this time. He never does tho.
