Another long day yesterday at work. I had to recruit the help of one of my coworkers who is remote because I just was stuck. Good thing is she got stuck too. From what I can tell this morning it looks like she worked on it for about 10 hours and wasn't able to solve the problem. I am currently waiting for her to call with an update.
Got home around 6 and took the kid to the grocery store. I have to make a cake for a friend for Saturday as it's her birthday and she hasn't had a cake in years. Nothing fancy, just store bought mix, strawberry filling, and white icing. This is more the gesture than the act of cooking. I also picked up stuff to make an ice cream pie for another friend. She texted me during the day to tell me she had been dumped via text. Why do guys do that? She was broken hearted and of course I invited her over for ice cream pie to drown the sorrows. It was pretty funny - she posted on her tumblr 'Boys make me sad, friends make me pie' with a picture of the pie. We sat around eating pie, smoking hookah, and watching X-Files. I took her mind off the dumbass who dumped her. Speaking of boys, I dealt with the kid and KBF last night. He still doesn't have a phone and it's starting to bug her. He works like 12 hours a day like I do and he doesn't think about calling her from home since he doesn't have a cell phone right now. I am about to buy him one of the throw away ones because he made my little girl sad. She thought she had done something wrong because he didn't respond to an email she sent even though he responded to a different email that had multiple people on it. Tomorrow when I see him, I am going to have a little talk with him
I got the check from my boss last night. I can pay rent this weekend. Yah-fucking-hoo. That takes some major stress off me. We did it as an advance against expenses which is fine with me because I am almost 1000 to the good on expenses right now anyway. This means I only had to advance 1300 which I can take care of before the end of the year if I stay on this project. While I was out picking up the check I talked to one of my buddies. Turns out he just got let go from his job. I got his resume and sent it to my bosses. Even though he isn't local, I have a feeling that we can use him for some remote work and at least keep some money flowing into his house. He has been good to me in the past and if this comes through then I can at least feel like I have given him something back.
TGF had dance last night and they did a costume thing for the kids in her dance studio. She dressed as Mrs. Mad Hatter and won best costume. It also helped that she was the only one of the girls who didn't do 'sexy fill in the blank'. She actually did a costume of a crazy outfit, wild hair, and her little mad hatter hat. While it doesn't sound like much, it's more thought than putting on a short skirt and showing tits. I applaud her personally for not cheesing out. She called around 10:30 and I was just too tired. I talked for a little while but had to sleep.
Here's hoping that today goes smooth and I get this issue resolved. I would love to have an easy Friday.
