Apparently I'm Getting A TON Of Action....

And I'm not even aware of it.... 

Ahh, the life of working in a bar and being somewhat attractive.  Everybody thinks you're sleeping with everyone but them.  It's really pretty amusing to see the little tiffs the guys get into competing for my attention.  The reality of it all is that I'm seeing very little action these days, much to my chagrin....  Do I hang out with the regulars?  Well yeah, I'm currently seeing one of them regularly and there's another that if he wasn't so fucked up I'd be down with in a minute.  Other than that, it's my job to listen to people bitch and complain and give feedback when deemed appropriate.  Just because I do doesn't mean ya need to think I'm fucking them.  Just because they gave me a ride home at 3am instead of watching me walk the mile home (which I routinely do), doesn't mean I'm fucking them.  I don't even have the energy for the hot booty call I showed pics of a few posts ago, let alone the mediocrity that sits in the bar all week.  What the hell is wrong with me?  I'm for sure not my normal self....

Another 60ish hour work week and 2,000 mg of antibiotics per day, that leave me severely nauseated, certainly aren't helping the situation either.  I ended up missing 2 1/2 days of the daytime job last week, which as much as it sucked losing those vacation days, gave me time to sleep.  It also allowed me to gear up to work at the bar Friday and Saturday night, both of which were ridiculously busy.  I have $1000 in attorney fees for me and the baby due this week, so I had to rest up in order to get my ass to the job where I make the real money.  I came slightly short of the thousand, but I got paid at the day job, so I guess it's all good.  I don't know if I mentioned it or not, but I'm pretty sure Jordan got fired from his job.  I didn't realize I wasn't getting child support for a few weeks because I didn't really miss the money.  It finally dawned on me when I got COBRA papers in the mail for the kid's medical insurance.  He wouldn't quit a job like that.  No college education and making $70,000 a year?  Yeah, people don't quit those kind of jobs.  A quick call to child support confirmed that he no longer had a job.  Great.  Not only is he refusing to pay his half of daycare, but I'm not getting the shitty $200 a month he pays in child support.  DICK.  I should be used to this kind of behavior, but I'm really not.  Ugh.


I think it's about time I get the fuck outta here for a few.  I went on Southwest today and repurchased my free flight that had expired.  Hell, $50 for a round trip ticket anywhere in the US?  Yeah, I'm down.  Now it's just managing jobs, kids and the absolute ZERO free time that I have to get outta here.  I'm gonna try to make it happen in the next month or so because if I don't, I'm going to snap.  Like a big, nice psychotic break, of which I don't need right now considering I'm in the middle of a custody battle.....

I get these pills from the drug store theyre called Nauzene they do wonders for me as far as taking care of nausea, maybe they'd help you too. I hope you heal up and feel better soon.
Where do you think you'll go? a vacation sounds like it would be awesome for you right now.

$70,000 a year and all you got was freakin' $200 a month??? That's not right. Of course, with him not working at all now, that's all water under the bridge, isn't it!!

Yes ladies, I for sure need to get away. I'm thinking probably Vegas because I can do it for next to nothing, but I might go down to Fort Myers to have my toes in the sand for a long weekend. It will be at least next month before I can get outta here, so we'll see. Noelle, I'll have to pick up some of those pills, thanks for the tip!

Anony, since we have split time, he didn't think it was fair that he was going to have to pay me $800 a month in child support. I couldn't afford an attorney, so we settled at two a month, which isn't even worth it really. It pays for the other half of daycare I guess....
