I Can Not Today in These Foolish Things

Read the updates to the previous entry for what happened with the interview at the Home Decor company. I am shattered because I’m just so tired of the bullshit happening. Companies need to get their shit together. What is wrong with businesses these days? I am doing my goddamned BEST over here to get back in and HELP you people.
I am so discouraged right now.
The other thing that has gutted me today is that my childhood friend from elementary/middle/high school messaged me and asked if I could talk this morning. We got on a video chat and she told me to sit down. Oh no.
Turns out, her father was murdered by a homeless man last night.
Her 81-year-old father was working part-time as a guard for a gated area of some sort (community, maybe? I didn’t quite catch what she was saying), and he and a homeless guy had a scuffle and the guy ended up stabbing her father to death.
This day is so dark.
I will come back on a lighter note next time, I promise. But sometimes you have to have these low days, ya know? Some days get to be a little too much, and you just want to cover yourself up for a while.
Please take care of yourselves.

Omg. That is horrific. Your poor friend. As for that fucking company, seriously? I know it is no comfort whatsoever but can you imagine how much disarray they are in if they can't even get the salary right? I'm so sorry about everything ❤️

I am sorry about your friend’s Father. What a tragic, needless thing to happen. I am not overly sympathetic to homeless people ; especially those who are chronically homeless . They are often mentally ill, addicts/ alcoholics that do not want treatment or criminal . This murderer needs life .

Gosh. So tragic the level of violence today.
And I'm sorry about the job situation, it's so frustrating when HR people and hiring managers aren't on the same page.

Absolutely horrific. I feel so much sympathy for your friend. How tragic. This is exactly why I don't fuck around with anyone in New Orleans. I don't talk to people. I am aggressive towards people who approach my car or me. At work, I don't talk to people in the halls, and I don't question why people are where they are. I live in a dangerous city and people are CRAZY. This is literally my greatest fear. So freaking sad.

I am so sorry about your friend's father.
And I'm sorry for that company messing with you like that. I wish it was unusual behaviour, but I think it's important to stick to your guns whenever you actually have a choice.
