A dilemma, or "what should I do?!!!"

May 9th, 2004
It's been a real good couple of weeks for me ! I''ve been working for Geeks On Call, and I've been accepted an employment offer as an Airport Screener with the TSA. But I'm kinda in a deli ma. If I accept the TSA employment, I have to Move to Washington DC, where the cost of living is high ($2.10 for gas/$750 for a Studio Apt) and then I gotta worry about my knees keeping up for 8hrs of constant standing and turning. But then I look at the retirement. Then there's GOC, and I enjoy working there, and this job has advancement potential. Asst dispatch manager in a year and a half. I don't know, it's a difficult decision!! LOL! Mom & Dad are coming out in June....which is really cool....I haven't seen Mom in about 5 years.

A child distraught

April 1, 2004
The other day Donna had called saying that Jennifer had ran away....SOOooo Vicky had asked me to drive her over there......as we walked thru the door thier was Jennifer sitting crying on the steps. Great!! thats not what I really wanted to see. About a half-hour later as Vicky and Donna were outside discussing what the "problem" was, I sat down with Jenn after she got out of the bathroom, and thats when i saw the cuts on her wrists. she had tried cutting herself. I saw them then got very upset. I don't know what to do....I can't do anything and i feel so helpless.

A new job!!

March 18, 2004
Well, things are looking slightly better now......I use the word slightly cause Vicky & Kevin are still hurting financially wise ("borrowing Peter to pay Paul"). GOD....I hate that saying !...so cliche !....anyway....I GOT A JOB !!!....finally something decent....and fun!!....I'm working for "Geeks on Call" a nationwide on-site computer service franchise that covers from DC to Florida to Texas and states in between. I had just started Wed and it's looks pretty promising. I work as a dispatcher receiving calls from customers who have problems with their computers and dispatch technicians to homes.

So many things!

Feb 26th, 2004
WOW lots of stuff happenin !!! Things aren't looking to bright lately as far as "bringin in the bacon". Kevin just quit his job from "Tidewater Deck & Fence" cause Don hasn't paid him in a week and has been screwin with him as far as money is concerned. Kevin is sooo stressed out. I really worry about him. He thinks this (The money problems) is all his fault....but it's not. I keep telling him this is just temporary and that things will turn around soon....I mean they always do! Plus the TSA airport screener position is looking very promising. (Hopefully !)

Tim left last week to help Lyle up in Minnesota driving the truck. Only thing is Tim already screwed up! They were at a truck stop and Lyle was inside while Tim was in the truck....and another driver needed the truck move so he could get out...sooo Tim decides he could back up out of the way...no prob right ?...WRONG !....Tim ends up backing into another truck and bashing in a fender !....ohhh man Trudy is pissed !....(I'm laughing on the inside though !! )

I was chattin with Amy the other night and I could tell that something was wrong...(Isn't that strange how you can tell someone is upset over the internet not even seeing their face ?) Anyway...come to find out she had been cornered by her best friends father outside and tried to kiss and touch her.....she got out of the situation..(thank God !) and called the cops.....now Amy's best friend is now resenting her for doing that to her father. Sorry.....but the ol man needs to get his ass straightend out. I'm really feeling for Amy though...she keeps losing friends....I told her that I'd always be here for her....cause she was here for me last year.
