chris sent me, jonathan, and bobby and email saying we have to get invoices in and our numbers up by friday or else he'll be forced to make "immediate staffing decisions" – but we all know that bobby will never be fired b/c he's chris' best friend and the ops manager – and it seems highly unlikely that even though jonathan is a worthless employee, that they would fire him b/c he's got a penis and b/c he talks sports with them constantly – so that leaves me. i don't know if the email was meant to be directed towards any one person, but it felt like since there were only us 3 on the email and i know how this division works that the email was directed at me. even though if it came down to me and jonathan, i can do MUCH more than he can and would be willing to do much more to keep my job than he would. if you even mention more responsibility to him, he gets all huffy and mad – but i'll do it. if it was meant to be just a meaningless threat, then that's the cruelest thing i've ever heard of especially in these times – you can't threaten me with losing my job b/c it's too real of a possibility.
nick was sent home from work at 8:30 this morning – not fired or laid off, but sent home without pay b/c they didn't have anything for him to do – another terrifying thing – that means that the paycheck for the week of christmas will be tiny and that's something we can't afford.
we did the 4d ultrasound on saturday and it was cool and stuff, but den and kev said they'd pay for it, but they didn't, so that was unexpected and hurt us financially (in a serious way), but they're letting us use their home depot card to fix upstairs, so we're not going to hound them at all about it – i just wish we'd known b/c while it's awesome to do the 4d, it would've been better spent on bills and groceries. I just wish we'd known better and not even scheduled it. we could have waited till march to see her.
i'm trying really hard to maintain a positive outlook, but it's looking more and more downhill and that makes it difficult. this is christmas, it's supposed to be awesome and fun – but it's not. i got nick's presents before i knew that we were looking at no money, so he's gotten his presents, but i haven't gotten any and won't get any b/c we can't afford them and we can't even afford the $15-$20 we're supposed to spend on christmas presents at den and kev's and that's just super frustrating
