January 24th, 2008bad news comes in… twos?
Yesterday the oil company came and filled up our tank and left a $500 bill. Apparently they hadn’t come in six weeks (and the price of oil is insanely high) and we’ve managed to use around 150 gallons.
Yeah.
The heat was set at 65 degrees throughout the house, but now every room but the one we are in is at 55. And we’ll be using cold water for the dishwasher and the laundry, but still.
For even more fun? Chop got “let go” this morning from the company he’s worked at for over ten years. The company who less than 20 days ago gave him his yearly review and a five percent raise. Real nice. Six others lost their jobs too, and most of them were long-term people.
Anybody need a Web developer? lol
I, too, am being downsized. At least I got at least six more month, though.
Good luck.
