ok so i intended to finish that last entry but i knew i would never get around to it.

this week was not entirely uneventful. my cousin/roommate decided she now has nothing to do with me, we are now just strangers sharing an apartment, which is really weird since she never treated me as anything but a stranger but i suppose that may be a good thing since the way she treats non-strangers with less courtesy than most people treat complete strangers. this all happened because i was too tired to clean on sunday (after working and going to school for 6 days) so i ended up doing my share of the cleaning from sunday to tuesday. she left me a long note on the fridge on sunday night and i responded (i typed it - u can read it if u want) then she wrote me an even worse letter and i responded to that as well, trying to be as positive as possible and explicit as possible about my good intentions but for some reason (i.e. she's an insufferable bitch) she either simply ignored what i was trying to say or didn't understand me and responded with an even longer letter detailing the same complaints she had which i thought i had explained quite well and saying that she was through with me. her not talking to me anymore is actually cool with me but the part that stung was the fact that she called my letters nonsense, the fact that i failed to communicate effectively with a medium that i thought i was pretty good at. it may sound strange but i actually felt bad about that. when i have the time and if i have the energy i will try again to come to an understanding with her but i am not expecting that to happen.
and another thing, why is it that some people fight so dirty? i know it is not a female thing because my mother (her cousin) is not like that and my boss (male) seems to be like that, i'll be writing about him in a minute. no matter what it is we are arguing about all she does is bring up more stuff that i did wrong or more stuff that she did for me. her rebuttal to my saying that she thinks everyone else is malicious is because she herself is malicious is to outline everything she has ever done for me, of course she does this forgetting completely very conveniently that i ever did anything for her. that is something i really don't get.

apparently i am now a union leader. on wednesday my boss through a hissy fit and walked off mumbling something about us not using the computers in here anymore and that is something i really hate. it was already time to go so i immediately took my stuff and went home, it took me a couple minutes to calm down unlike one of my coworkers who might still be a little pissed. after i got home and thought about it i decided that the best thing to do would be to talk to my boss about the way he 'spoke' to us the next day. by the time everyone was in the building together i had asked them how they felt and they all said they didn't like the way he handled the situation so i went to him and spoke to him in front of everybody. i think i handled it well and the air is pretty much clear now although some of the guys don't really like him too much anymore. now he's the kind of guy who jokes about everything incessantly so after the little meeting cooled down he made a little joke about me being the union leader for the staff (of 6 inc. me) which was kool to break up the tension a little bit. some people however do not know when enough is enough, every little thing that happens he makes a joke about the union leader, every 5 minutes he says something like 'hey union leader, everything kool?'. i know he's just the kind of guy who likes to joke around so i am not letting it bother me but i wish he would give it a break. maybe i should call a meeting of the new union and vote on the number of jokes he is allowed to make for the day and how many of them can be on the same topic.

in other news there is a distinct possibility that my mother is going to move here. my younger brother will be graduating this year and i will be here for another year and i am looking to move away form my cousin and my mother has always wanted to move back here so she said if she finds a job she will come live here with her 2 kids. that was always a possibility since i came here for school but working here as increased the probability significantly since i will have a job during the summer and my brother can also work here since he is studying in the same field and will be done in a few months. i honestly feel like i could cry every time i think about the possibility of living here permanently or even spending the entire summer and following year here or even about not getting time off to go home for xmas this year.

ummm....any good news D?
