Well...
Haven't updated in a while. Haven't really had much to say.
But here's a bit of an update.
My mother left for St. Louis on monday, and she and my dad should be coming back next friday. Hopefully by then my grandfather will be settled into a nursing home. For about an hour there was a fear that my parents might try to bring him here to live, and it would have been at least 2 months of living with us before we could have even started to look for a nursing home. Luckily with family friends adamantly saying that it was a bad idea, and me basically saying that I would have no part of such an idiotic plan it was resolved t let him go to a nursing home out there.
It really made my day, of course, when the next day the doctor even said that it was a horrible idea and that the hospital social worker shouldn't have even mentioned it as a possibility.
Work has also been stressing me out lately. It's starting to get to the busy season for both stores. I ended up overfilling the tank again the other day, and this time it was a bigger mess. It still stinks in there.
I think that probably one of the most important things that this job has taught me is when to say I cannot handle it anymore.
Of course saying that you can't handle something by yourself and actually getting the required help are two completely different things. And it looks like I won't be getting the help.
For a little while on friday it seemed like the actual manager for the water store might be coming back on a reduced schedule. But now I hear that his wife is getting released from the hospital sometime this week, and he is taking her home to care for her. And that's a full time job in itself. According to the boss he won't be coming back at all.
And they're not going to hire anybody new to fill his position either. That store is in flux. Somebody bought the name, and some of the equipment, and will be changing things here soon. Latest news is that it'll remain open for only another six weeks or so, and it really is pointless to hire somebody for that short a period of time. So I'm stuck running both until that store closes.
Anyway, I guess that's enough for now. l8r
