...yeah, I kind of feel like that guy from Splash right now.
Where do I begin? First my burd roommate broke his wing after slipping on some ice. Ice that I SHOULD HAVE salted down when I cleared the path at the rear of the house (but not the front). Turned out that the ice he slipped on and fell was on the street, not the sidewalk, but still I was angry that I COULD HAVE taken action at that part of the house but didn't.
Then on Thursday I get a call from my parents. The only remaining grandparent I have left died early in the morning after battling a lung infection. It had been a long time since I really felt any connection with my grandmother, but hearing from her oldest daughter (my mother) that she died still stings a bit. I actually feel worse for my mom because of all the members of her family, she was the one who in adulthood had the closest connection to my grandma. My mom sounded resigned to the eventuality of my grandma's death when she told me (my mom took care of her over the last few weeks she was sick), I know it's going to be hard for her to come to terms with it all.
And to cap it all off, I left my temp assignment thinking that I was going to be back on Monday...then got a call from my temp office saying that they were ending my assignment. Today. I lasted six weeks on that assignment...four less than the person I replaced, who by all accounts was not good at all. I didn't get any indication that my work was bad enough to end my assignment, but for my assignment supervisor to LIE to me when I asked him if there was anything I needed to know about Monday...
...it's really hard right now to not take that personally.
...
...I need comfort food now.
