 Last night was another weird night.  Well, not too weird, just… slow.  

 
Work really drove me nuts.  I hate the fact that I know that B and M aren’t doing their job correctly, but there’s nothing I can say.  I’m pretty much the bottom of the totem pole, specially since T is a pro at sucking up to the higher ups.  Already B and M are ruining things for the rest of us… They spent two months with work piled around them, constantly about two weeks behind in all of their work.  Now, all of the sudden, not only are they caught up, but they’re more current than I am and B is bitching about how far behind I am.  (I missed two days of work last week and I’m still kind of trying to catch up with where I need to be).  I’m not even a week behind… In fact, I should be done through the 28th of November come tomorrow.  
 
What really kills me is the fact that B has spent the entire year bitching about how she has to do Tax paperwork.  That wouldn’t be too bad except for the fact that T and D had to do all the paperwork from March on… yeah, makes me wonder what B does all day except bitch about everyone else and go out for smoke breaks with M.   
 
I’m going to try my best not to say much about work here, it’s not something that I can really talk about without getting into trouble.  And it just serves to get me riled up again.
 
A month ago I loaned some money to Dave, a friend of mine.  He had a friend of his that he was letting say with him and the friend ended up fucking him over.  He was worried that he’d end up losing his house and his phone and the like… I told him that I’d loan him some money… well, I ended up telling him that I’d buy a drum from him and hold onto it until he was able to pay me back… and I’d "sell" the drum back to him for the same price. I think that surprised him a lot when I offered… he wasn’t expecting me to help like that.  I don’t mind, I had a little extra money at that time and he needed it more than I did.  Well, yesterday he told me that he had a drum circle tonight and wanted to know if I could give him back his drum a few days early.  He’d be able to pay me tomorrow for it.  Of course I said yes.  David’s the most trustworthy person I know… he’s one of those people that you know exactly where he stands and where you stand with him.  I think that’s the reason why I like his company so much; I like knowing where I stand with people and I don’t get that feeling very often these days.  
 
We’re not really doing Christmas this year, we bought presents for a few people… Bonnie’s going to get some art supplies; when she was up here to visit in September, I sent her home with a sketch book and a box of art pencils (note to self, find my sketchbook and start doodling again).  I’m not saying what she’s getting, since she reads this. 😛 Sade (who’s 3) is going to get some coloring supplies too… so I’m going to get her the crayola markers that only mark on the special paper and a bunch of the paper so that she doesn’t run out of it.  Bow (age 2) is going to get a hotwheel mat and some cars.  Mom’s also going to get each of them a sock monkey, which are handmade by my friend Phoenix Poet… Maili and I are getting tats.  We’re going to get Momma good and warm socks, which reminds me… I need to buy her socks sometime this week.
 
Speaking of my sister, Maili – it’s her birthday today.  I sent her a text this morning and don’t expect an answer till the evening, but it’s nice to remind her that I haven’t forgotten about her.  She’s going to come over tomorrow and we’re going to take her out to Fujiyama’s for dinner… it’s going to be nice, a family dinner.  Momma, me, my boyfriend, Maili, and her boyfriend.  I offered to pay for it… it’s going to be spendy, with so many of us, but there’s bonus checks today as well as the money that I’m getting from David.  I already have her present, so I don’t have to worry about that.  
 
The jewelry’s going well… I need to get pictures taken and up on the site.  c.c I’m so horrible about that. ::le sigh:: I need to do that this week.  NEED.  I hate the fact that I don’t have anything up really, but I have such a hard time with it.  ::runs around in circles and dies::
