 shit ..

The trainee left today and resigned. I’m called Lori the Terminator at work, and now everyone’s been told not to get on my bad side (hehe) I did feel bad for her, I wish it could have worked out for her. I would blame myself but she wasn’t going to be good with our customers.

I don’t like ultimatums, or bluffs. Chances are I will call the bluff, or tell the person with the ultimatum to get lost. In this case, it’s my sister. I haven’t replied to her last SMS sent today which totally fucked me up for the rest of the day at work. Mind you, work was fucked anyway, a virus took out the whole company. So.

“within the next wee hon, or I will have to let him know, bite the bullet, love you”

sure … lets blackmail, threaten, or give an ultimatum to me. Guess what! Dad already knows, I am tempted to SMS back with, “Fuck off, go ahead and tell him and see if I care.” I still might do that tomorrow, I’ll see how I feel. It’s not my sister’s right to make me feel like shit because I haven’t told dad about WHY i broke up with M. She’s supposed to be there for me, not make it about her. I am never trusting her again with anything confidential.

I have a washing machine! and I go with mum to look for fridges next :) Mum’s also going to see the apartment with me tomorrow, and I think I shall smudge stick the place.
