New Leaves

gah

I have insomnia. Almost every night I seem to be awake and tossing and turning after only sleeping four hours. I stay in bed and have half sleep until just about an hour before the alarm goes off. Just as I am getting back to sleep... the alarm goes off.

So, after Michael and I did our 14 hour monday, and were headed back downtown after getting more supplies, we see that the reason for our dive in business is that yet another coffee shop was just opened just across from our block. The flow of traffic goes by it first, and they do have better presentation than we do. Alas.

We had been entertaining the notion this past week of shutting down shop and me going back to work.

After today, it's definite. Michael was fired for missing one appointment that was set over six months ago for a minor event that he was going to photograph. They had someone else photograph the event. But apparently the person who is bonking the chief of staff at his department got their panties in a twist and now Michael is out of a job. It's truly truly shit because he's never even been given a reprimand, a talking to, any previous disciplinary action.

Even better. Photography is not his job. He's been volunteering to do it with *his* camera. They bitch that they don't like the quality of pictures... he says he's not a photographer and he's only using his home camera. They need to provide him with better.

It's super unjust. So fucking ironic that he works at the attorney general's office and he gets fired for unethical reasons. Even better, his boss sold him out. Michael got bumped so that this asshole could take over and he was in Michael's office every damn day asking him how to do his own job.

I'm flipping furious. I want to go downtown and stand on some desks.
I don't mind going back to work. I do mind assholes pushing their weight around and bitches on their backs getting the work done downtown. he's the only one that has the knowlege in his department. I look forward to hearing about it going down in flames.... since he's not there anymore... he can't do everyone's job.

I put a call back into my old job. Hopefully they'll take me back.
It's been a shit couple of days.
It's been a shit last few months.
I'll be putting my stuff on craigslist.. except the espresso machine. that bitch is going on my counter.

gah. tomorrow is another day.
