Unavoidable Questions

26 Aug

Have you every had anyone ask you a question that will make you look cruel if you answer it? Today I experienced the same feeling that my husband gets if I ask him if I look fat in my jeans.

It was truly a loaded question, no real way of answering tactfully. It started off as a statement and then the person took my silence as my agreement to the statement, LMAO. Silence is awkward.

The statement was : “Gaaawd, I am such a b-i-t-c-h today, huh Ana?” She spelled it out just like that too, which I found very annoying. There was about 30 seconds of silence before she made another statement. “O-M-G (yes spelled out), you did not reply so it must be true” LMAO…. The only thing I could do at that point is to turn around and say I did not hear a word she said because of my desk fan and my headset. I was laughing in my head :D

From now on I will no longer be asking my husband loaded questions. Its really annoying. LOL

To quit or spend all of my money on childcare.

30 May

I am needing to make the decision of a lifetime. I need to find someone (me or my husband) to watch my kids. My mother quit unexpectedly and I am now stuck. I have to spend 95% of my monthly salary to pay for child care. I would be losing more money going to work then staying home.

The thing that makes it easier for me to quit is that fact that my position was already cut in half. A technicality that would allow me to quit and claim unemployment. They are cutting about 800 positions, and mine was one of them. They are also looking to have us furlough in the near future. I wonder who would be first in line for that?!

So basically I would be working less hours and still paying for childcare. It just does not make sense. I will start going to school to get my BSIT as soon as I leave work. I would actually be productive as opposed to wasting time and money to stay at the same job.
