the bet that my dad doesnt regret.

I was losing faith in myself going thru my calculus classes. I was taking the same class over and over again which was suck. I felt like I was wasting my time and my dad’s money for paying for classes I was failing. However over those couple of years on taking calculus classes I was trying to get my dad into watching Doctor Who. He kept telling me no because he use to watch it as a kid and knew that if he started watching the new series he would have to catch up with all of it. Sometime in the fall of 2014 we were having a late night veg fest watching TV and talking and there were some Doctor Who eps that came on. I took this time to fill in some "before these eps" background story. We watched 4 eps in a row and had to stop watching them because the next few eps were out of order and broke the story arch. At this point we were still talking, and were talking about my fears of the Cal classes... So he made a bet "if you pass Cal 3, we'll watch all of new Doctor Who." Hands were shook. So I signed up for my Cal 3 class.

Months later I started my Cal 3 class, which was an online class, and continued to fear because the class was so difficult... mostly because it was online and I was working a time consuming job. So it was self-taught in I had the time. But I had to make the time even if it was at 10p.

Fast forward months later I passed all my tests, and I totally passed my final.
Then I got fired, and we started our Doctor Who marathon starting from the 2005 series. We finished the marathon of Doctor Who just in time to watch the start of the new season....However the new season started on Sept 20th, and Sept 19th my family went on a cruise for 10 days plus a few extra days in our departure city. When we got home we had 3 episodes to watch. The only thing that is lame about this is that we have to wait a week between each episode…. We can’t just binge watch them.

However next summer it sounds like we may be catching him up on the Walking Dead series.

February.

8 months. A person’s life can change drastically in 8 months. A person’s life can change over a single night. Fortunately I'm not that person. My journey thru life hasn't changed drastically, or overnight. It has changed though, and it has become increasingly more frustrating.
In February around the time of my last post I was probably stressing about my calculus 3 class, which I had every right to... I mean, come on, it was calculus 3.... 3!

Referring back to the last post my (ooo, now then) boss took over the contract as I stated and I took over billing and credentialing. And I was rocking it! I was doing so well..... Or so I thought. Well I was doing perfect, but that only lasted for 2 months. At the end of March she gave me BACK the contract but this time didn’t take anything away from me... So I had LESS hours, TWICE as much work and one day off a week. I was still expected to have everything done in the same amount of time. Then the end of April comes around and the boss has a mental breakdown and disappears for over a week. Doesn’t respond to emails, doesn’t respond to text messages, and doesn’t answer phone calls. So when the coworkers had problems that we couldn’t fix we didn’t even have a way to get them the answers the desperately needed. It was worse when the customers need questions answered and we couldn’t help them. When the boss finally comes back she gave me ANOTHER big project to get started on and still doesn’t take any other responsibilities off my hands. To her everything was a priority one, so since she couldn’t prioritize what I needed to do, I did it for her. Things I felt were less important got done if I got around to them. Then after all that, I GET THIS:



Uber super suck. I got this letter two weeks I finished my final for my Cal 3 class. One of the reasons she verbally told me she was firing me "laying me off" was because they just couldn’t afford to be working around my school schedule..... Which they knew when they hired me. I even took OFF a semester of school to give them more time during a transition period. AND I turned in false time cards showing I worked fewer hours than I did. I was too loyal. But funny thing, I totally called it and stuck around like a retard and waited for it to blow up. I, no joke, legit came home one day in march and said to my dad big changes were coming to the company and informed him that I for sure had the job until May and then who knew.... well had the job until may then fired "laid off." At that point I was mad and asked her to pay me for all the things I bought for the office. She said to give her the receipts. It took me a few days but when I got her copies of the receipts, sent via email, she said "who authorized you to make these purchases, who said they would refund you" so I went back and collected my office supplies.

I feel like I don’t give a shit about her financial problems, and that she owes me. But nothing that I can do about it, but she is on the list of people I never want to talk to again. Even though I did offer to help out with billing if she needed it, but now she is promptly blocked from contacting me... so suck it.
After I got fired, call it what it is, 4 of coworker contacted me to start credentialing applications for their private practices. So there are at least 4 of them that are leaving in the next year, and one that started looking for a new job the day I got fired (and found one).

Help me thru the things I cannot change, help me forgive those that don’t deserve, help me get over the anger.
