What a year!

Well it's been almost a year since I last blogged. A lot of things have happened, good and bad, in a nutshell-I got off unemployment, was hired by ECP, layed off two months later, went back to work at MMi for seven weeks, work ran out, then I went to work for Thermo Heating Elements, where I am currently employed. It has been a roller coaster of a year but all in all I feel blessed to just have a warm bed to sleep in and enough food to eat when there are so many who don't have either. Ian is working at Journeys in the mall and his friend James is living with us now. I conquered my drinking problem and now only party occasionally. I hope the coming year will be prosperous for all of us!

Well it's over. I no longer work at hugs for hounds dog rescue.I loved my job there more than anything else I have ever done in my life and I dearly love all the little animals there! But the owner of the shelter keeps "forgetting" to pay me, oh I eventually get my money out of her but it is like pulling teeth. What really burns my ass up is she remembers to pay all of her other employees but she forgets to pay me. I don't fucking get it. I am a hard worker, I get in there and do my job-no talking on the phone or bumping my gums all day-I'm dependable and very passionate about animal rescue, and this shit has been going on since July, so I finally got fed up and quit. I guess it's better late than never to find out that the person you're working for is a sham, she claims to be dedicated to animal rescue, but buys dogs from backyard breeders and takes them up north and sells them, some unaltered so that they can be bred. That is not rescue that is no better than these stupid ass breeders who she supposedly is against.My eyes are open now, I regret even getting involved with someone like her.
