A whole lot of nothing is going on.  I'm working 7 days this week also, so if they hire someone this week, I'll be working 19 days before I get a day off.  Exhausted, I think, is too weak a word to describe it.  I could go to bed at 5pm and still be tired when I wake up.  I guess it is easier than working on two days 5:15am-7:30pm.  But, when I think of how I'd get two days off then, I think maybe it would be easier.  I don't know.

I called AT&T back today.  They are the bane of my existence at this point.  My phone stops working every time it rains.  Now, I'm hoping that when they come inside today, they will be able to fix it and get it working because my internet is not working either.  I did set up remote call forwarding though, so if someone calls me on my home phone if it happens to stop working again, the call will be forwarded to my cell.  I was told that even if my home phone has no dial tone, it will send it to my cell phone.  Of course, they couldn't give me the phone number and pin number over the phone, so I have to wait 5-7 days for the freaking thing to come in the mail.  So, if my phone doesn't get fixed today, that's another week I have to wait to get it. 

All I know is that if they can't fix my phone today, and can't figure out what the issue is, I'm going to cancel the internet because DSL does me no good when the phone doesn't work.  And that sucks because I was kind of hoping I could do my classes at home on the internet instead of somewhere else.  My parents have DSL, so it's not like I couldn't do it over there, but if I wanted to do it after McKenzie goes to bed or whatever, it's easier to do it from my own living room.

And that's assuming my schedule stops being so hellish and she actually gets to spend the night with me by January.  I just don't understand how my co-worker can complain that she doesn't get to spend enough time with her family, so she gets to work whatever schedule she wants, and because I didn't open my mouth, they assume I don't need to spend time with mine.  Hell, Friday I called my boss because my daughter was sick and I couldn't stay home with her because my co-worker had to go to the WIC office with her son.  Now, if I was anybody but me, I would be able to say, "You can't force me to come to work if I have a legitimate reason."    But, I'm me, and therefore I care about my job.  Trust me, they would fire me for no reason.  They've done it to other people. 

What else...Christmas is going to be here soooo soon.  I think I'm going to wrap McKenzie's presents one day this week so I can see what all I have.  Friday I get paid.  I have to give my mom $100 for the rest of the rent, and I need $165 for lot rent and probably another $15 for water.  Other than that, I think I've paid all my bills for the month.  And I got a little overtime.  I may have to pay my car insurance, I think I didn't get a bill.  But, I probably need to get McKenzie some more Christmas presents.  Doing it by myself is pretty hard.
