Back For More

So here I go again… not writing for ages, and then popping up out of the blue.  At least it wasn’t QUITE as long as other times when I have disappeared.  There has been so much going on, that I’m not even sure where the beginning is going to be to start with.  Maybe I should go back and read my last entry to see what I wrote about last.

Okay… so the last that everyone knew Jacob had stayed home from work cuz we stayed up too late on the 13th and blah blah blah.  So on the 15th, he had a doctor’s appointment for a check up, and ended up missing work to.  He went back to work on Wednesday the 16th, and gives me a call when I’m on my way to work.  Turns out that while he was gone the previous 3 days, his boss realized that they weren’t really falling behind on work while he was gone.  Therefore, they really must not need the extra hands, and eliminated his job.  So he is now unemployed.  =(

We did get his income tax check in though, and he was able to work with his cousin on some concrete work for a few days as well.  Right now we are waiting to meet up with his cousin so that he can get his money.  We are pretty tight on funds right now.

Anyway… back to the 16th… so I was pretty upset about Jacob losing his job.  Per my offer letter at work, I was supposed to have gotten a raise after my second month of employment, but because of how busy my boss has been, I didn’t take the time to inquire as to when I would actually be getting it.  Well, because of our situation now, I decided that I better bring it up because we would need every dime we could get.  Luckily, my boss was more than understanding, and said that yes I would be getting a raise, and that I would just need to meet with him to go over a form that I would need to complete for evaluation.  (I just now completed the form tonight LOL)  So that was good news.

I ended up getting some dumb ass escalate on me over at Cisco though that same day.  But I couldn’t say too much due to the fact that it WAS partially my fault because I haven’t been doing the best as far as communicating with some of the people over there.  (I prefer working on my Intuit work than my Cisco work, and usually end up neglecting my Cisco work therefore resulting in complaints and or escalations)  I have chaned my communication habits now though, and don’t foresee any additional problems in that category.

Later Wednesday afternoon, I got an AWESOME email from someone at Intuit (she was the admin assistant to the HEAD OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS) talking about what a good job I had done.  LOL  Funny thing was that I didn’t even really do anything out of the ordinary, but hey I’m not gonna argue with her.  So at least the people at Intuit are happy with my work!!!

Thursday the 17th ended up being the day from hell!!!  I got up that morning only to find that mhy wallet was missing out of my purse, and I couldn’t find it anywhere.  Luckily I still had my check card, but I didn’t have my actual checkbook nor did I have my driver’s license.  I was so pissed that it was missing, and I was almost certain that Jacob’s cousin took it.  I got to work and was talking on the computer to my aunt about what was going on, and she talked me into going to the bank to either cancel my checking account or put a hold on all remaining checks that were in my checkbook.  I left work and ran home quick to make sure that I didn’t find it before I cancelled everything.  No such luck.

So I get to the bank, and am just about to sit down with a banker to start cancelling or going over my options, when one of the tellers says, "Hey, we found her wallet last night."  I guess I had either dropped my wallet or it fell out of my purse the night before when we had stopped at the bank.  So I was happy that I didn’t have to cancel everything out, and I have my ID back as well.  I kinda started to wonder why they didn’t call me sooner to let me know that they had found my wallet though.  It’s not like they couldn’t have looked up my contact info via my account information.

I was feeling a bit better now that I had my wallet back, so I decided to stop at Starbucks on my way back to work.  I got a white chocolate mocha, start driving  back to work, and my coffee tips over and splashes all over the truck… just great.  So I pick it up and start driving down the freeway with the coffee in one hand… hit a bump and coffee slops out of the lid and all over my hand and stearing wheel…  even greater.

I get back to my office building and am in the process of getting everything out of my truck and trying to juggle my coffee and cell phone.  I close the door to my truck, and low an behold…  I lock the keys in the truck.  JUST FUCKING GREAT!!! Luckily, Jacob wasn’t too far away, and was able to bring the spare set to me on his lunch, as I had to meet with my boss later that afternoon regarding my pay increase.

That night when I got home I told Jacob I didn’t want to argue at all.  He agreed, yet we still ended up arguing over something stupid.  I immediately got the WORST headache ever which in turn led to my teeth hurting like crazy.  At first I was just going to deal with it, but it kept getting worse.  Jacob wanted to take me to the ER, and I finally broke down and had him take me.  The first ER we got to was packed and by the time we got there, I was hurting so bad and I was in panick mode.  I couldn’t handle being in the waiting area, so we left there to go to another ER.  The second one was smaller, but still packed.  I ended up cussing out the admitting nurse (and she DID deserve it).  I made Jacob leave there too.

He didn’t want to leave though, so I climbed in the driver’s seat and gave him no choice.  I started to calm down a bit when I was driving, and the pain started to subside just a bit.  We got to a drug store and bought a bunch of pain killers including Tylenol PM.  Jacob drove the rest of the way home then.  I wasn’t hurting quite as bad, and when I got home I took 3 PM’s.  Unfortunately they weren’t working, so I took one more.  Then I started to feel my body trying to go to sleep… but I was still in so much pain, that I couldn’t fall asleep.

I decided to have Jacob take me back to the ER… but as soon as we were in the truck and driving, I was out.  So he just drove around for about an hour.  When we got back to the house, I laid down and slept the rest of the night.

So I have more to write, but it’s going on 1 AM now, and I need to get my butt up in the morning for work.  I’ll continue on my update tomorrow, and hopefully get completely caught up with everything then…

Nighty night!!!!
