I have got to do a better job of standing up for myself, I have repetedly told the manager at the pizza place that my wrist and hand keep getting worse and the sweeping, mopping and vacuuming I have to do when I close make it excruciating, he gave me one night where I wasnt closing and then tonight and tomorrow night I will have to close. I dont know how I will manage tonight its been killing me all day, and I am thinking of a way to avoid work all together infact the thought of how my hand will feel by the end of the night has me tempted to just quit. I am telling him tonight I cannot close tomorrow and if that means Im fired oh well… I am tired of having to wake up 4 or more times every night because my hand is killing me. Its gotten so bad that hot water and medicine dont make the pain go away any more.
Johnny and I went ring shopping today and I found the one I want, well technically its two, the main one is a 14k white gold ring with a full 1 carat colorless diamond in a tiffany setting for $5,400. The other is an accent ring that has 3 small diamonds clustered together to make a triangle on each side of the main diamond together they look so georgeous. I am trading my other diamonds in which will pay for about half of the cost of the new one plus Johnny will be paying $700 this next week. It wont be paid off until probably January or february but that is ok. I told my mom about and she mad about it and said we shouldnt be spending all that money on something like this and I need to worry about other things and that, I should use the old one from when Brandon and I got married, But this time I really do want to get married and I love Johnny and I think that I should have a special ring that represents that not a ring I had because of a failed marrige I had as a teenager. Maybe the price is alot but I love the ring and I wont have to settle for something else I will have the one I want, I will be wearing it for the rest of my life so I think it should be one I like. I think every woman should get the chance to have a ring she really loves and that means something to her.
Johnny and I also decided that I will get a perscription for progesterone and clomid when I go for my annual gyno appt. and start it the first week of november. Hopefully before then I can lose a few pounds.

I can’t believe your boss isn’t more understanding. It’s really not that hard to change the schedule to someone who is cabable of closing. What a jerk! Maybe you could switch shifts with another employee? You work theirs and they work yours? I don’t know if you’re allowed to do that but you could ask/try. Good luck!

don’t you think its a bit irresponsible to be spending that much money on a ring? where a few posts ago you didn’t have any food in the house.
October 15th, 2006 at 6:29 pm
I have plenty of food now… I didnt have food because I was always working when johnny wasnt and so I never got a chance to go… now that things have slowed down and he fianlly gave me a day off I went to the store and filled my fridge to the brim…
what I said wasnt about money it was a schedule conflict.

Your boss is a jerk. I hope you don’t get fired since that would suck but if you do, I’m sure you can find a much better job! About your wrist, why don’t you go to a doctor? Then at least you can find out what’s wrong and maybe get a doctors note to shove in your boss’ face, haha. Anyways, that’s cool about the ring. My husband and I didn’t spend much on our rings. I have my engagement ring which has three diamonds in it, it’s really pretty but it was cheap, and of course my wedding band which was even cheaper but I like it, since it has engraved on it ‘Always & Forever’ and it’s engraved on his too, it was a his and hers set but I like it. All that matters to me is being with him and if this is all he could afford me, then it’s fine with me you know? It makes it even more special because money doesn’t mean much to me, sure it feeds us and lets us have fun. But we have even more fun when it’s just the two of us here at home. Anyways, I hope things get better for you!

My e ring was my mother in law’s 1st ring. She upgraded just recently and offered it to my husband to give to me. I wasn’t all too happy about the thought of it but I laid my eyes on it finally… I fell in love with it. Now it has a lot of sentimental value to it and have no desire to upgrade. It’s a simple 1/2 carat but I think anything else would look freaking ridiculous on my size 3 1/2 finger. To each their own though and really hope that this 5K ring is really worth the money when you could be spending it on much more important things right now.

actually, if i remember correctly, you said you didn’t have any food because you didn’t HAVE ANY MONEY not because of a scheduling conflict…..
and i agree, spending that much money on a ring is ridiculous….
October 18th, 2006 at 9:24 am
well it looks like you deleted the post where you said it was a money issue…. so i guess i can’t go back to refresh your memory….
October 18th, 2006 at 10:18 am
I didnt delete any posts, it wasnt because of money it was because I couldnt get to the store because when i was off he was working and vicer versa.
October 18th, 2006 at 12:30 pm
hmmm. i remember reading something about how you had to pay your job $90, which left you broke. therefore you couldn’t afford food, which meant that you had to ask someone for bread and mayo…..
October 18th, 2006 at 12:31 pm
actually, it’s all in the post below this one titled “fuck fuck fuck”…..
October 18th, 2006 at 4:41 pm
“I seriously am about to have a fucking break down… tonight was hell on a stick to say the least. My phone broke, I fucked up at work and since it was my fault I have to pay $90 out of the $100 I had left for grocerys so now eating for the next 2 weeks is out of the question. this seriously sucks, I probably seem like a pig at work or will get fired because I eat stuff there, which I know is bad but seriously I am so hungry my stomach hurts and I couldnt really function at work if I didnt eat something.”
how is THAT a scheduling conflict? You work at a pizza place. Use a little bit of the money that you earn and ding ding ding… buy you some food from there. Why are you even denying it?
October 18th, 2006 at 9:19 pm
not that this post will see the light of day, but….
why not take that money that you are spending on a ring and buy a car for yourself so you will not have a scheduling conflict again if that was the supposed problem? You could buy a beater or you could get something semi decent for $2, 3, 4, 5 thousand plus depending on how much you want to spend. I’d personally purchase a beater if I was going to have a child just so I knew that I would have it so I could get from point A to point B.
I’m not trying to brag and say I have nice cars because I don’t. It’s a luxury I’ve given up due to the fact that I think the money is better spent put in my savings for my adoption than put at the dealer for a car. I have two cars that are semi decent and they don’t look funky or anything and they are both paid for etc. But as soon as I adopt I’m so buying a new car.

Ok I was being over dramatic, and I was broke from my check but I had money on my check card… I get very moody because of my hormone problem… I get pms but worse because my body is trying to get me to have a period and ovulate and regulate in general so I get over emotional and over dramatize my doector compared the affects of what I have to being ver similar to an extreemly hormonal pregnant woman…
I am going to the doctor on the 24th in hopes that there is something I can do about that…
October 19th, 2006 at 12:17 pm
Umm I’ve been there and had that problem for months and it was no picnic while it was getting fixed either. being hormonal is worse than a broken bone. But seriously, all the drama aside, you need to secure transportation for yourself. If you don’t have a license work on getting one. My best friend got her license at like 28 and it was hard but it happened. The last thing you want is a baby in the house and no way to get somewhere to get something you need for it. People always say that they will be there for you, but speaking from experience I’ve seen girls and their kids get stranded on way too many occasions. I hate depending on anyone else.
