Clouds in My Coffee

T.G.I.F.

Well, it's Friday and I am so glad! It's been a rough week here at the office. I haven't vented about it on here yet, for fear of saying/writing words that you all might not want to read! My sister was fired from here Monday...in a terrible manner and it has been hectic for me. She is a single mother and relies heavily on this job. The reason they fired her was strictly based on hearsay and frankly, it was wrong. My mom and my sister are hiring an attorney and plan to sue the company for wrongful termination. I spoke with my boss about it the other day and asked him if it would affect my job here. He assures me that if the law suit goes through that my job will not be in jeopardy...which it shouldn't because it's not me suing!

I don't know if I've ever expressed this here or not, but my sister and I are very, very close. Growing up, I had to take care of her because our Mom was a truck driver back then. I taught her how to tie her shoes, how to write her name, how to do everything! The bond that she and I share is simply amazing. When someone hurts her, I get extremely offensive. I guess it's because I have spent my life taking care of her and watching out for her. She is truly my best friend. I love the saying "Sisters by chance, Friends by choice" because it fits us to a T. I am completely devastated that this has happened to her and I will do everything in my power to make them pay for what they have done.

Anyway...that's what has been going on here. A little more stress added to my stress bank, but baseball starts tomorrow so I am going to be making a withdrawal from that bank! I am SO looking forward to watching my son throw his very first pitch as starting pitcher tomorrow! Woo hoo! :o)

Here's my Friday Five:

1. Do you like talking on the phone? Why or why not?
There was a time in my life that I did enjoy talking on the phone, but because I spend so much time on the phone at work, I would just rather not! :o)

2. Who is the last person you talked to on the phone?
Eric Robertson...a good friend of mine from here at work.

3. About how many telephones do you have at home?
Three. The cordless, one in the kitchen, and one in my bedroom. I am sure that will change when the boys get older!

4. Have you encountered anyone who has really bad phone manners? What happened?
Oh, it would have to be a telemarketer that I spoke with last month. As soon as I answered the phone and realized that it was a telemarketer, I politely told him that I was not interested. He proceeded to argue with me and ask me why I was not interested in "protecting my family". (he was selling insurance) Well geez!

5. Would you rather pick up the phone and call someone or write them an e-mail or a letter? Why or why not?
I would much rather send an e-mail! I guess because of the fact that I spend so much time on the phone at work.

Have a radiant day!
