My first week!

Monday was my first day at Applied Power. I have to say really didn't know what to expect when i started. But I wasn't expecting it to be as easy as it is. There is no stress at all its really a cake walk job. I kid you not I get to listen to my Mp3 player all day. I forgot what it was like to have a job we're you get 2 breaks and a lunch. I don't have to check in with someone every time i need to use the rest room go on break or lunch. I just get up and go. My 3rd day on the job the company took everyone out to red robin for lunch. Which i guess that they do that twice a year or something like that. So that was pretty cool. Their also telling us that February they want to put us on 10 hr days if we can do it and maybe a Saturday if it we can swing it. but if we can't they understand. Of course I'm going to take any overtime i can. I think i did pretty good my first week,  I learned how to glue battery packs together (really simple), use the shrink oven (the hardest part is getting the shrink on the battery just right), then yesterday I started welding the batteries together. I was a little nervous at first but I managed not to blow up or set on fire a battery pack yet which i guess that normally doesn't happen with a first timer. Made me smile to hear that I'm one of the lucky ones :) Can't wait for week 2 :)

Big Changes!!

Despite all the crap I've been thru the last few days today really brighton things up for me. I had an interview for this company called Applied Power. They are a family owned company that started back in 1970. The company assembles batteries for many uses from hospital machines to rc toy cars. I really like the fact that i can listen to my mp3 player all day also. My hours are also Monday thru Friday 7a.m. to 3:30p.m. Saturdays are over time talk about sweet!!! which is perfect with Ernie's hours. I felt very positive about the interview after it was over. A few short hours later I received a call telling me that they would like for me to start on Monday. SSSSSSWWWWWWEEEEEEEEETTTTTTTNNNNEEEESSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!

Today was really the best day I've had in a while. I got a new job (that pays better) I got to put my 2 week notice into the shit hole I was working at. (Yes Wendy's is a shit hole to work for but when you need money coming in it works).Which I was really hoping I could do. I have no respect to work for that place. How can you have respect for a place that when your confront a manger for talking crap and saying that your a horrible empolyee they act like they have no idea what your talking about? Fuck that!!! I caught her in a lie and for that i'm peacing out. I bust my ass and get treating like shit I don't need that. She didn't even have the respect for me to tell me the truth. But still I put in my 2 weeks now if I finish those 2 weeks out thats another story....

Tomorrow I'm suppose to be working a 9 hour shift 11am to 8pm but I'm not really feelin it hell i'm not feeling the hours I have next week their either. (since i'm starting on monday working 2 jobs why should i?) If she thinks I'm a bad empoylee I can be a bad empoylee. maybe I just don't want to show up I mean she is the one that took me of all except for one day when I brought it to her attention that she had me working on a day I asked for off. the only reason I'm even on for a 9 hour day tomorrow is because someone else quit. So thats the only reason i have to come in anyway, if it wasn't for that I would have only had one day. I just asked ernie he agrees with me so its settled i made up my mind. I'm not going in and I don't feel bad about it at all. Fuck that place they can deal. Well i feel better I have to get the kids ready for bed later everyone!!!

Where should I start??

The last few days have been almost more then i can take. Andrew's birthday party was canceled of course there was a lot of thats not right from my mom. Which while she might not think that its right. It doesn't matter since andrew is mine and ernie son and if we feel we should cancel his birthday party because he's misbehaving that is our choice and our right as parents. Well with all that said I recieved a call from my mother on andrew's birthday what she said to me broke my heart in two. "This is the last time you'll hear from me i'm walking away from you and the kids." I asked her "So your saying you want nothing to do with me or your grandkids?" "Angela I can't take this anymore its abuse what your doing." "Thats really nice mom you rturning your back on your daughter and your grandkids." Then i got the "I have to get back to work." I just told her "Bye" and hung the phone up then went and balled my eyes out. Its great to know that your own mother well disown you and your kids over canceling a birthday party.I'm really hurt over the whole thing but the only way i can answer it is fine if she wants to be that way I don't want her around my kids. Just because she doesn't agree with the way ernie and i are raising our kids doesn't mean you disown your family.
