The Ice Queen has struck again. God I hate her sometimes. Acts like a child, which makes me react in kind and then feel bad about it, even if she deserves it. Yes, I should have called her. I didn't. She refuses to do what was obvious, then tries to make me feel like the guilty party. Well it worked, I do, and now my 4 days off are probably ruined because my gut is just rolling with tension. I'm expecting a call early tomorrow morning. I refuse to apologize this time though, they can write me up for it if they want.

I know I reacted childishly with her, and I know I should have called her earlier, but she doesn't make me want to do anything for her. Is it too much to ask that she use her head? The other day, told by the boss something, and she snarks and complains right off the bat. Her snark was silly, it was obvious what to do, she just had to make a remark though.

We all have bad days...she doesn't seem to have good days though. Today was one of my bad days, partially understandable this being day 7 with a double shift thrown in. I'm sorry if my brain didn't kick in before my mouth did, but she deserved it. I'm tired of everyone having to tip-toe around her just to make sure she's happy. Why should we? Especially when she seems to go out of her way to make our lives miserable.

Gah!! Too much complaining, but at least I feel a little better. Tomorrow will bring what it will, and the Ice Queen will just be even more frosty towards me for a while. I think I can live with that...maybe...just don't be surprised if you get reports of a brutal murder, or me in the looney bin.

...just floored

So, got a call tonight...my dad and step-mum have split. He is currently on his way to the Island. I'm still a little in shock, though I'm also not surprised at the same time. Things weren't going well for them, financially, so she called it quits...but 'we'll see when you get your life together and start making money'. I told dad not to get back together with her. I'm biased though, I haven't liked her since...well, before we moved in. Living in that house was like walking on needles all the time.

Dad's gonna work for a bit, save for a boat, then live on that while he continues to work. A friend said 'mid-life crisis'...yeah, maybe, but I like to think he deserves it. He's not going out and buying a fancy new car and finding younger women to 'date', he's finding a place to hopefully be happy. He's moving closer to his own mother, who does have cancer and could die very quickly. I do worry though...he needs quite a bit of medication, and that's costly. His work he'd be doing isn't the best for him...but it's all he's got.

I'm mad and relieved and worried and upset. It means I don't have to call Ingrid 'mum' anymore. I don't have to try to make time to call her or visit. I'll be glad to sever ties with her, not that they were strong in the first place.

I'm worried for dad for financial and emotional well-being though. He does have family close on the Island though, at least. *wry grin* And he's a survivor.

*deep breathe and big sigh* Dear Lord, keep my daddy safe. Provide for him in his hour of need, and let him feel the support of his family and friends around him. Hold him gently in your hands, and guide his steps. Amen.

Yes, I'm still alive...

Okay, haven't posted in a while, so here I am. I finished off Dragon Age and Torchlight, and got back into WoW. Still have Last Remnant to finish...eventually.

Work is hectic like always :P

Oh, I've got my new laptop (Yay!!) and while I love it, it showed me that I might be needing a new monitor soon :( The white isn't so white on it anymore.

Not much else, sadly.

I did see the torch when it went through...very anti-climatic. Hard to get excited about something when everyone is complaining to you about it. Am happy we won against the US in hockey though ;)

Okie, off to listen to more Wheel of Time and play WoW.
