I just don't know what to write about today. How about I bitch for a minute. Bear with me.

Dan's best bud, we'll call him Special K, is going through a tough time. His wife, call her Rav, quit her job a few weeks ago. She's kind of self employed: she runs a business that sells her skills (in database creation) and she gets herself employment contracts. She'd been with the same company for the last 5 years and it was starting to look like she was going to get on as a regular employee when IT happened. She was in a meeting with her boss, he said something to her about how the database wasn't working quite the way they wanted it to and she lost it. She told her boss that they didn't pay her enough to worry about "shit like that" and then she told him that they could all just "fucking leave her alone". Now, keep in mind that she negotiated her own salary and it has gone up every year she's been there. She quit before they had a chance to fire her. Not such a big deal if you're a student and living at home but that's not her situation. Before she quit, she apparently forgot that: 1) she's married and has to worry about more than just herself 2) she has a mortgage 3) she has a car payment 4) she has to pay bills 5) she need to eat and, oh yeah 6) has limited savings account to work with. Forget taking into consideration that she makes more than hubby and that he can't possibly take car of everything on his own. So what did poor Special K have to do? He went out and got A SECOND JOB. When Dan told me this, I couldn't believe it.

So now she's been unemployed for a little over a month. She's gone on 3 interviews in that time period. "I just don't want to do the same shit as before" is her excuse. Then, last week she said she was stressed out and needed to go home. Wait a sec....back up. You're unemployed, you can barely pay all the bills and you want to spend god knows how much money to go visit dad in England???? WHAT?????? And then yesterday Dan tells me that she was supposed to go out job hunting on Monday but instead, she bought a pair of shoes and spent the day with her 'best bud'. Some 'bud'. I'd be telling her to freakin' GROW UP! To boot, she appears to have forgotten that she has no money to buy shoes and that her husband is working nearly 17 hours a day to keep them afloat. Is it just me or that seem wrong to anyone else?

I feel bad for Special K because he's such a nice guy. It's no surprise that he and Dan get along so well, they're so similar it's scary. From the moment I met her I didn't particularly like her but, she's his wife and he's our friend. At this rate, I doubt that "daddy's girl" is going to be around for much longer. There goes marriage number 2.

Thanks for bearing with me. That's all the bitching for a while, promise.
