Well, I thought I was having a lousy day until I got home and found out that my sister had been fired from her job. She's been having a real problem with her boss. Her boss constantly screams at her and curses at her in front of the other employees. Today she told my sister "you're very bright and I can tell you're working hard. I can't put my finger on what's wrong, but it's just not working. You're fired."

My mom's looking into a lawyer.



I am so drained from school and work. I hope I'll be able to keep this schedule up. I'm not getting home till 6-7 every night, and it's so draining. I'm not getting any time to practice.

So my job. My main job until mid-January is to take two pieces of paper, one that our company sent out that has the medical providers name and tax id number on it. The other piece of paper is a w-9 form that the medical provider has filled out and returned to us. I have to make sure the name and the tax id number match on both sheets. If they match, they go in one pile. If they don't match, I highlight what's wrong and it goes in another pile. Match it up, put it in a pile. Match it up, put it in a pile. For hours and hours.

Today they actually taught me something different (what I'll be doing after mid-January). Verification. Basically mindless data entry.



Yesterday I fell on my ass at school. I was wearing my cute platform shoes, standing in the front of the classroom handing in a test, and my ankle twisted and the next thing I knew I was on my ass. Just to make it even more embarrassing, my friend continues to bring it up and laugh about it, and tell everyone who missed it.

At least there's only 8 more days of school left before the holiday break.

*owie* on that whole "busting your butt" thing...sounds unpleasant, to say the least.

as for your job...i did something kinda like that when i was temping, and it *is* mind-numbing. getcha some cash and then sail on down the river to do something else.

What department does/did she work in? Faculty members in science divisions can be nightmarish to work with. I might know him/her, or my boss might. Tell Amy to call me or email me if she wants; I can help her look at the job listings at Children's and put her in touch with the HR guy there if she wants to do that.

I am gonna try to come to the thingie tomorrow night. Any chance you can get dinner with me beforehand? Otherwise, I'll either leave work, get dinner, and come there, or leave work, go shopping, go there, and get dinner on the way home. Either way, I should arrive there between 6:00 and 6:30. Probably won't stay late but I would like to see it and see you!

Thanks for coming tomorrow night! It will be good to see you ^_^

I don't think I'll be able to get dinner. Since my immediate cash flow was cut off last Wednesday (my last day of Donato's), I'm dead broke until I get my first paycheck from the new place on the 19th :-(

I'm guessing (and hoping) that there will be munchies at the Open House, because I'll be coming straight from work.

OMG...that's terrible about your sister! *hugs* I'd look into a lawyer as well.

Where does your sister work? Jesus... getting fired was probably a good thing in the long run, since I bet a lot of her stress is now gone....(not that I condone what he did, it was shitty, but, damn, she must have been completely stressed at her job. I know I would have.)

She work(ed) at UC as a research assistant.

Sad thing is, Ohio is a "right to work" state. If there is no contract of employment, they can fire her at any time with or without reason and she can do nothing to get her job back.

Jack and I know this from first-hand experience earlier this year with his former employer.

The only course of action she might pursue is through the school, but that's unlikely to result in anything either. :-(
