Aw, that does sound unpleasant jacob :(
But I'm glad you still had a fun time despite some doggy troubles!

@Julez: Ah, I didn't think you'd remember. It's nice you do, thank you :) I'm kind of mad at myself for letting her hug me...
And yeah, I think grandma is totally taking it as if we're okay again. Which isn't a good thing, because next time I try to evacuate with Ash when they are here, I'll hear: "but last time you were getting along!".... No [bitch], we weren't getting along, she was playing "pretend what I did to you never happened", you and mom played along and I was just polite enough to have a civil chat with her while also stating I still expect an apology from her.
I am pretty sure granny didn't notice that I'm letting my sister hug me with a fair dose of reluctancy, but instead noted the fact: they hugged, they are sisters again! No [bitch], read my face and note people's intentions.
Now she's spitting all the news about my sister's life at my face even though I don't want to hear that "they successfully got home, even though they had a detour due to some road being in the workings and she texted me that she misses us all already".... *gags* Misses us all, my ass... *grumble grumble*

@jacob: That would probably leave me very bitter for the rest of the evening actually... I'm kind of petty, even though I might be enjoying the evening, at the end when I walk out I might rant to Ash about that annoying little bratty dog and how insensitive of his sister and blablabla, you get me, I feel you XD


Also, today it was my first day of work :) It wasn't as bad as I thought, the company seems to have nice values despite being a total corpo, everyone seems super nice and helpful and as older employees told us, the first month we'll probably do no real job and instead it will be a shitload of trainings, which is fine by me XD And funny thing, I sat right next to a girl and then it turned out we're actually seated next to each other in the openspace, how crazy xD And another girl lives a few blocks away from me. Both of them are from my team. I was like 70% more social than I usually am, but I had to mentally urge myself to start conversations by asking the questions I actually had. Which is a kind of a big step for me, in terms of socializing. I'm kind of proud of myself and wonder if I'm just so needy of human contact because I've been home for too long, or if I'm actually consciously improving XD Either way, it was a good day. Well see my rants in a few months probably, lol.

Can you have a talk with your grandma about how you felt and what the hug meant to you? Because I can definitely see how it will be stressfull and annoying if she keeps thinking there's nothing wrong between the two of you anymore... Good luck!

Yay for the great first day though! Confetti rain for you being social and getting to know your office neighbour already! Doesn't matter if it's a general improvement or you just missed human contact, every time you're socializing is practice that makes it easier in the future :)
I hope you'll enjoy both the training period and the actual job :)

hello!!!! :3

@Chriz: talking to granny about this stuff is pointless, because she doesn't take my shit and I don't take hers, so there's that XD

Today I was almost late x.x we had to take in a lot of similar and somewhat complicated information and then at the end we had to take a test on them... 60% is the minimum to pass and now I'm nervous, plus my head hurts

@jacob: that's terrible! Nothing seemed like he'd lose the job tho! yeah, Idk how but some ppl aren't very lucky with jobs and I do tend to believe it's their own fault most of the time, or at the very least it's unfriendly working environment.
I don't know about the magazine (it would be a pity to shut it down tho), but for your lessons I guess J could just take a walk or something XD
Anyhow, let's hope everything will be alright shortly whether by reinstatement, some compensation from the employer or getting another job. I cross my fingers for you.

@Jill: well hi XD

@jacob:
Oh no, I'm sorry to hear about this! I can definitely understand that you wonder what is going on and whether he is telling you the full truth :(
How much of the details of what happens does he tell you? Maybe if it's possible to tell you more that might help you get a better feeling for the situation?
I second what mem said about your teaching - just ask him to find a way to be out of the house for the times that you do it. If this is one of the things that is earning you money right now and lets both of you stay afloat, he should be understanding about it and try to accommodate it.
I really hope you can somehow push through this time without giving up the magazine and your plans, it would be a shame if you had to stop right at the brink of it really taking off.
Is there anything that J himself might be able to do in the meantime while he doesn't have a stable job? I have no idea what areas he's skilled in, but I was thinking something like the online teaching might also be possible for him? That way he could take some of the pressure off you, maybe.
Best of luck for both of you in any case! I hope his situation will be resolved in a positive way quickly!

@mem:
Hm, that sounds like it wouldn't work then. I was thinking that maybe she'd be able to understand that you don't feel like things are ok even if she doesn't really get why and thinks they should be ok.
I'm sure you did a great job on the test, don't worry too much. You can't change it now anyway, no matter how you did. When will you get the results?

Yeah, my granny isn't very understanding like that, she just thinks "sisters should get along, no matter what"... but she doesn't take the personal moral code under consideration... what's funny, because she's the one who was basically wiping the figurative spit off her eyes...

I actually did pretty well, I scored 81% which is completely fine. Two ppl didn't pass it tho and they'll probably have to retake it or something. Today we also had some test, but it wasn't significant as we were told. But This time I actually understood something from the training, so... XD Granted, it wasn't as complicated as yesterday and it was my field of work. Plus it was kind of interesting for me, not like a passion tho, just more like "how am I going to d the things they want me to do and not fuck it up too much" XD

Yay, congrats on the test! And it sounds good that today seemed more interesting and relevant to your specific work :)

whats up!
