Sorry but you guys seem sort of like family now.
Yesterday my aunt called and my mom got taken to the hospital in an ambulance. She had not gone shall we call it wee wee in 2 days and they think her kindneys are failing. They are also now thinking her tumors may be getting in her bones and either way that is not good news and the end could be near but if she has both it could be even faster.
I had a hell day like Ski on Thursday the day before she was taken to the hospital and had 4 people all asking me for information at the same time and actually had my eyes getting all watery and made a comment to my boss that I’m sorry I’m not getting this new training right now but I’m dealing with my mom dying right now and she had the nerve to look at me and tell me “Life goes on” I HATE HER I HATE HER I HATE HER!!!
Most people here at work have issues with this manager and I just found out very soon she will not longer be my manager. I have NEVER walked out on my job but I almost did.
I’m also heading to Chicago in 3 1/2 weeks to compete for International Mister Leather so I’m stressing over the contest and really stressing because even though I have a travel fund from my current Mr. Alameda County Leather title I still do not feel I should be spending this money right now. at least I have caught up most of my billsOh, with my temper I think I would have slugged the boss. 😳 I hope things start looking up for your mother and the contest goes well. Let us know.
I’m really sorry to hear about your mom. I hope things get better for her soon.
And your manager sound like a nasty person, so just try to ignore her. Just remind yourself that she’ll be gone soon enough anyway. 😉
I’m sorry DM. I hope they can give your mom some relief. Your boss sounds like a real jerk! Glad you’ll be rid of her soon. As for your contest, just try to have fun, you need it 😉
I’m sorry things are so bad, DM. Stress is no fun either. Just know we are here for you, and good luck with the contest if you decide to go. 🙂 (Is it wrong for me to really want to see pictures? 😳 )
I am so sorry to hear that. I hope things get better for you and your mom. Your boss sounds like a real @$$ I agree with purplecat, I would have slugged her!
I’m going. It’s a once in a lifetime opportunity. We have a travel fund that will take care of the hotel if our event in May 12th goes well. I have almost $600 in the acount now and so does my Ms.ACL Joan. If we raise at least a little over $1200 on May 12th it’s paid for. I’m trying to find a room mate also to cut costs. My airfare is already paid so I’m going but that Memorial Day Monday will be the 1 year annivesary of my grandma, my mom’s mom’s passing so it will be very difficult but I have to do this. If I win this title I want to raise money for my 2 favorite charities, the Women’s Cancer Resource Center and Chilrden’s Hospital Infecious Disease Ward for the babies born with AIDS, they are both in Oakland CA so they are also local.
I will be in the contest so I will not be able to take pictures. I’m not sure I could post some of them here. If I make the top 20 I have to appear on stage wearing, should I say, as little as possible in front of 1000’s of people and then make a speech If we get some good pics there and I can figure out how to post them I will.
Thanks for all the well wishesso for none of our mr. contestants have won and brought the title back to Alameda County our higest placer was 8th. If I can do top 10 I’ll be very happy. I will be running against about 60 or so
I’ll be sending good thoughts to your mother. I hope you do well in the contest and remember to have fun; you deserve to allow yourself at least that.
I’m kinda new around here, but I am sorry to here about your mom… it’s one thing when they just die… it’s another thing when you have to watch them die… I’m sure she will be fine after everything… As for the contest I know you will do well and just remember that more then half the people watching you are not just going to be admiring the little bit of leather you are wearing ;)…
I’m so sorry about your mom, DM. I hope she is not in pain.
I can’t believe your manager is such a, well, there are young people on the board. Hopefully, karma will catch up with her. (the yellow and pink polka dotted slug – in my family there is no worse insult)
Good luck with the contest! I agree, if you can get pictures I would love to see them. Maybe if you know some one with a digital camera they will email them to you and you could post to photobucket.
I’ll be praying for you and your mom.
Why is it that both the best and worst things seem to happen at the same time?
I hope your mom will get better. Good luck on the contest (yeah, see if you can direct us to a website somewhere for the pics!) and screw your boss… er, well, you know what I mean. She’s not worth you wasting any thoughts on her since she’ll soon be gone.

http://www.sarahjestin.com/feedbacklists.htmHang in there. Your boss is an insufferable slug, without a drop of humanity. She will get hers.
Anyway, support your Mom as much as you can handle, visit her as often as you can, and try to build as many happy memories with her while you can. Ask her if there is anything she really wants to do and then help her do it.
Cancer is a tough one, I just lost my adopted Grandmother to it on Easter saturday, and since she wasn’t a true blood relative I didn’t even get grieving space. But towards the end, we were all very happy for her that she was able to go, she was in a lot of pain and the morphine wasn’t doing a bit of good.
I pray that your Mom is not in pain right now, and that she is well enough to be able to enjoy being with her family during whatever time she has left. I hope that you will be okay when the time comes, and that she is able to do everything she sets out to do during this period of her life.
I know this is tough, it is never easy to know that the time you have left is nearing its end. But treasure it and take it one day at a time.
Meanwhile, get ready for your event and win it. Hang in there and don’t let life break you.
Oh, and tell that boss that I said she was an insufferable slug on her way out the door as your manager, someone needs to tell her and I think you should have that honor.
