Graduation from 8th grade is fairly formal here. Kait and I spent a few hour at the mall (hell) and found a dress, shoes and accessories. We were able to find "bargains" and got out for less than $70. She graduates at the convention center here in town and I will miss it. Yup..Miss it. My *#&@#*! of a boss won't give me the time off. Mind you that in 6 years on the job I have only called in sick 4 days...and all of my time off has been prescheduled at least 3 months in advance to fit around her schedule. But I can't have a few hours off to see my child graduate 8th grade. My boss says "It isn't like it's her high school graduation."

I wish I coud quit. However, California's economy being what it is, NO ONE is hiring, not the City, the county or the State. As it is, Bill's raise that was given under his union contract last year (signed and sealed by the previous governor) is being held hostage by our "wonderful" governor AHNOLD (the ASS) My hours will be cut at work for the summer...so things are getting tight already...there is no way I can tell my boss just what it is I think of her and quit. SHe plans on working til she's old enough for Medicare...so 3 years 6 months and 29 days to go. Can you tell I can hardly wait?

Where is that winning lottery ticket when you need it??

I best get going, the AC is on the blink and the repair company will be here bright and early tomorrow morning...thank God I bought that home warrenty!
