Okay so I was trying to do the whole "cheer up, don't think about things being bad, look on the bright side" kinda thing...but then things got worse. Okay, an update.
Sunday night our roommate was involved in a car accident. It wasn't any minor bumper tap either. He got hit by a white pickup truck, spun out of control, and flipped his car 3 times at 70 mph. The car landed on its side and he somehow managed to climb up and out the passenger door. Luckily he was wearing his seat belt, and his airbags deployed. He walked away with only a minor abrasion to his face. His car, is totalled, and the fucker in the pickup, kept on driving.
Then Sunday night comes along and Andrews sister, Cori tells us that his father was in the hospital Thursday night. Something, we of course, knew nothing about. Well, we call him and try to get ahold of him, but figuring it was too late we decide that Andrew is going to call in Monday, so we can go see his dad and find out whats happening. Andrew proceeds to call his boss, and he says it's A-OK to go see his father Monday. Alright, Cool.
We Spend all day Monday trying to call his dad to go see him, but he never answered the phone. We didn't know what was going on until today, but as it turns out his father had to get a stint put in his leg, and then a little while after the blood vessels in his eyes burst due to a mini anurism. If you know what that is, and if I am remotely close to spelling it right, then you know that those things more often than not kill people.
Okay, this brings us to today. Andrew called work tomorrow to see what time he needed to be in because his schedule had changed and his boss informs him that he can't come in with out a doctors excuse. I know, it's bullshit right, he wasn't the one who was sick and therefore its not HIS Job to get an excuse. His father didn't need one, nor should he. So whatever, he goes in to talk to the boss who isn't there. He sits around and waits forever for him to come, meanwhile his wife decides to get in on the action, freak out on Andrew about being gone, saying he's a liar and that his dad wasn't ever sick (when he is) and basically she said to give her the manager keys and get the hell out of the store. So, today Andrew lost his job. He told her to have the boss call him when he got back to the store, but he never did, so I guess that's that. Pretty shitty given the fact he's done nothing but right to that store for TWO YEARS and one day, for no reason whatsoever his boss is like, fuck this you're gone. So. tomorrow I guess we're going to hit the pavement, and look for a job. Andrews going to file unemployment, which isn't enough enough to cover rent, but it's SOMETHING. I'm currently being reviewd for a position with Old Navy, and it would be totally sweet if I got that, or any other job. I've done like fifteen job applications since Saturday, so anything would be helpful. Also if anyone in Tennessee could help me get a job, that would be sweet. Sooo, to recap.
Roommate=hit and run, no car, no health insurance
Andrew=lost his job, fathers sick
Me=no job, no car, no money.
Happy Fucking 2008 Guys.
(P.s. Send money. LMAO) I am currently Bummed
