OMG YAY!

An email my dad sent.

All,

I was transferred to (some-place), Afghanistan, 40 klicks from (some-other-place) in the South at least 150 miles from (a-very-dangerous-place). Terri said she didn't want me to go.
 

The company that loves me said 'go where I told you or quit'. I quit. That's what the 'family issue'  in the letter was about.

They think I'm a sissy. I think they are ... what's the word, ... ah forget it. I may leave Dubai on October 25th, or they may run me off early to make an example of me and humiliate me as much as possible. But in their defense, that is their employee retention plan. They are way smarter than me or any of you, so we probably wouldn't understand. We will see what happens, and I will keep youse guys in the loop. And I'm sure it will be fun and a good story.

Almost forgot, if I happened to punch out one of these fine managers, I would get a promotion. I will probably hold back.

 

Love y'all,
D

 

After two and a half years, TWO AND A HALF YEARS!!, my daddy is coming home!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I realized something today...  I never post anything in here. Honestly, does anyone care? If you don't, I'll go on about my merry way, stopping in randomly to bitch and moan and make comments on your cool happenings. But if you do actually care, I'll post random and useless (but hopefully interesting) facts and / or incidents in The Life of Sarah (and 24601, the kitty.)

Smile though your heart is aching
Smile even though it's breaking
When there are clouds in the sky, you'll get by
If you smile through your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll see the sun come shining through for you

Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near
That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying?
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile

That's the time you must keep on trying

You'll find that life is still worthwhile

Ain't no sunshine when she's gone

ARGH! The rain and grey skies are killing me!

Unfortunately, I am going to be in Denver for a week. I leave on Saturday the 7th and I come back on Friday the 13th (?!). I say unfortunately because despite the fact that Denver is gorgeous and the Microsoft Worldwide Partner Conference will be fun, I am going to miss Adrian terribly. :( After spending all day yesterday and most of Tuesday with him, I'm not sure how I am going to survive being away from him for that long.

Right, the title of this post... I go to check weather in Denver... OH MY FREAKING... Gah! It is supposed to be sunny in Denver until I get there, then it is supposed to rain while I am there, then it gets sunny again AFTER I FUCKING LEAVE. Ain't no sunshine when she's gone. And she's always gone *too long* anytime she goes away.

Argh!

Oh my god, this day keeps getting worse. 

My plans for tonight (that I was really looking forward to) got cancelled... I'm tired... the rain is driving me nuts, I miss the sun... I haven't had time to eat lunch... my sister called me and bitched me out... my emotions are on edge right now so I am not being the most pleasant to the people I care about... my head hurts.... and the thing that I have been working on ALL DAY that was supposed to go out this afternoon is STILL getting rejected. dkljflksadjflksajdflkasjdflajsdlkfjslkfj

I want to cry.
