I hate work right now.
I'm starting to really, really dislike the mom I work for.
So... grandma's in town (the dad's mom). She got into town on Tuesday afternoon/evening. The mom has decided that she wants to make me go home early and let the grandma take over once the kiddos go down for their afternoon nap (between 2 and 3pm). I normally don't get off of work until between 5 and 6:30pm. Not to mention, he mom isn't working tomorrow... so I don't get to work. I'm out $100 just from tomorrow.
I worked 4 days this week and was excused early 3 of those days. I didn't leave early on that 4th day only because I understood it as I could leave early and let the grandma take over if I wanted. That's the message that was relayed to me through the grandma yesterday after she got off the phone with the mom. I chose to stay that extra hour or so because I'm losing Friday. Well, when the mom got home, we were in the front yard and I looked into the kitchen window as she walked into the kitchen from the back door and I though she looked annoyed. Well, I was right. Grandma informed me today that she was "ticked off" that I was still there when she got home. WTF?
Today, as I was cleaning up in the kitchen after the kids went down for their nap, grandma came up and tried to excuse me for the day saying that it was pointless for both of us to be there at this point of the day. I got in a little, um, chat with her about why I would rather not leave early. I tried my best to stay calm while defending my reasoning and I did ok but my hands were shaking despite my efforts... and it takes a good bit of adrenaline running through me to get my hands shaking like that. I told her that from my point of view, I'm losing my job in 2 weeks and am facing the possibility of being out of work for who knows how long before I find a new job and I would prefer to get in my expected hours before I'm out of work. She didn't like my reasoning. So it came down to me needing my paycheck today since I won't be working tomorrow. So grandma called mom and guess what mom did? She came home from work just before 4pm to write me a check so that I could leave and then she went back to work. WHAT THE FUCK???
Seriously woman, you are being a bitch! God damn passive aggressive control freak. I swear. I don't like her anymore. There's been other smaller things that she's done over the past few weeks that have really been getting at me, but this is pushing it over the edge. Even before all this grandma shit, I've been stressing over my job search, losing money that should be going towards my Eurotrip, and my brother and his friend moved back in so I have to deal with both of them fucking things up around the house... and then to put lost hours and wages on top off all of that... I nearly cried several times on my way home from work today and while I vented to a friend.
It's been a very bad day.

That sucks! Hope that it all falls into place, and you find a really kick ass job that will work before your Eurotrip...
