I have joined the ranks of the unemployed. On January 21 I got my butt chewed for the second day in a row, my know-it-all "boss" wouldn't even let me talk, told me he didn't want to hear it. And said maybe I should just give notice - or better yet, just leave. He didn't want notice. So....that's what I did. After everyone left on Friday night, I went back, cleaned out my office, wrote a letter and left my keys. Now it is February 3 and I sure wish I knew how he managed with first of the month. My guess...not so good. But, he asked for it and I can now sleep, no migraine, and no vomiting. I think I made the right decision. I have an interview on Tuesday and several resume's floating around out there. I think we will be fine.
On a different note, our good friend, Ray Smith, passed away last Saturday about noon. We had been to the hospital to see him on Monday and he looked and acted great. Went back on Friday and WOW - what a change. I asked Scott (in the hallway) what was going on and he said his dad needed a valve replaced in his heart. That was scheduled for Monday but I guess God didn't want to wait that long. Tom has known them for many years and this hit him pretty hard. There are no services planned for Ray and I think that makes it a little harder. There will be a "celebration of life" on his birthday in April...maybe that will help.
Saturday evening one of Steve's housemates, Nancy, passed away. They had just celebrated her 53rd birthday on Friday but Saturday she was unresponsive and they took her to the hospital by ambulance. Her heart just gave out. Her funeral is tomorrow morning and I am going with Steve. He really wants to go to this one. All four of the housemates are honorary pallbearers. He feels the honor in that because he was telling everyone tonight at visitation. He makes me so proud.
Well it is far past my bedtime so I think I will call it a night. Busy day tomorrow, up to take Tom to work, funeral with Steve, grocery shopping...and NO WORK! Sometimes life is really good!
