Firsties!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm thirsty and hungry, and kinda bummed.
Just found out that I am getting bumped from 2nd shift to 3rd shift at my job. There is still an outside chance that I can stay on second, but if I can't then Mrs. Kruse's boy will be looking for another J.O.B.

Gimmie a milk to drown my sorrows in.

Speaking of the bright side of life... I'm unemployed!

Well okay, I have one week of employment left, and I also have a temporary teaching contract until the end of the month and if I don't get another for after I can temp for a bit, but I finish working at the IT centre I've been at for 18 months this week.

It's a long story but the gist is that the centre wasn't doing very well so the boss decided to cut a few expenses. By not paying me. Since I'd been working there full time for 18 months I trusted her and that turned out to be a bad decision. Now she owes me more than 2000 euro and keeps *swearing* she'll have it to me by this Thursday, but since she's been saying similar stuff for the last three months and I gave her an absolute deadline of last Friday, and Thursday is my last day at the office... well, I'm not entirely confident.

So, I'm broke, disappointed and unhappy. Who wants to buy me a drink?

It's hot out folks, and I know I don't normally hang out in the Bar, but I'm thirsty.

Diet Coke please?


Redlava, I hope you get to keep the second shift.
DTH, I hope you get paid.

*sigh*

Money or job related woes do seem a bit prevalent.
Mine is waiting to have an engine job ( $3500-$4000 ) pay so I can get our business' bank account back up so that I can pay quarterlies.

*drinks a big gulp of her Diet Coke*

Ahhh, that hits the spot. Thanks.

Certainly not liking the trend of unemployment and/or money strain going 'round.
If I win 100 million in the lotto, I'm buying everyone a house!
100 million would cover that, right...?
We'd just have to figure out where we'd want our little community. I know, I know, we were talking about islands, but without more people I fear that would collapse.
Good to see you in here, FollowMal No, you don't normally hang out in the bar, but I'd be happy to see that change.

Morning, Penguin!

I got a wave from Jimi yesterday. He won't be around today, nor at work. He has some stuff to take care of in RL. Just thought I'd mention.

*hug* to DTH. She owes you 2,000 Euros? Man, I would threaten legal action. That's a chunk of change! I hope everything works out for you.

The Bar definitely needs a change of fortunes, quick! Unemployment looms large in these parts. I'm hoping I get an interview with the Net retailer I've been "pre-interviewing" with for a week or so. Unfortunately, it is going to be 100 degrees today, and tomorrow. I wilt in temps like this.

FM! Lovely to see you in the Bar! *hug*

Yes, we're actually having a bit of sun at the moment too! (For those of you who don't know, the weather in the UK has been particulally foul recently - so much so that large parts of the country are under water and 100s of people are homeless due to flooding. Personally, I think the whole island is sinking and no-one has the courage to tell us.)

Hey all. Thanks for the sympathy.

Yep, I can sue and yep, I have threatened to even though I genuinely don't want to. Boss' reaction was a) you can't get blood from a stone and b) right now she has me as a top priority but if I sue I become just another name on her list of people she owes money too. Translation: don't kick up a fuss or I'll bump you to the back of the queue. After 18 months of working my arse off for a very low wage because I genuinely liked the place and hoped to help it build itself up I really expected better. I'm disgusted that it's come to this, and more than a little depressed that someone I trusted has turned out to be such a liar.

Oh yeah. She lied to me. A lot. About lots of stuff. I'm really only starting to find out just how much now. At this point my trust issues have trust issues!

*sigh* Someone mocha me up please?

*edit* Ditto on the bad weather. Ireland is no drier. This morning I spotted a couple of guys gathering two of every animal.
