[73 in : 99 out]
Today started out great, then turned ok, then it just sucked. But I am in high spirits.
I read the second motivation book. It wasn’t as good as the first. But it did give me ideas and insight on job performance.
I woke up to the sound of rain on the roof. That was when my day started going down hill. The rain didn’t stop until after lunch. So that put a big dent in all my plans. I’ll have to postpone them until Wednesday.
I am almost done rewriting Autumn IQX source code, and then I can make modifications to create IQX2. I also came up with a new background for it. It looks better on paper than on a grid, but its neat none-the-less.
I didn’t do too much else today. Work was slow. I did find out how to fix my lawn mower for about $3-4. So I’m gonna try that on Wednesday. If it doesn’t work, then I can buy one from a friend for $75. Four $20 jobs would pay it off easily.
I came home to a lecture though, and threats of being kicked out sooner. I wasn’t intimidated about arguing back because I was in the bathroom with the door closed, fixing to take a shower. I only have one problem. I am being blamed for not siding with my brother at work. If I do side with him, then I discriminate against the others. It doesn’t matter what I say, truth or lie, it will never be good enough for my step dad. If it is not his way, then it’s not good enough. I think that my position as my brother’s boss is being used on a personal level by my parents to get me in trouble. My boss is the one that deals with my brother, not me. All the things I am catching flack for are my boss’s mistakes. There is nothing I can say that will get my parents off my back about it. Maybe my brother should tell them I have nothing to do with the problems they are having at DQ. If that won’t work, maybe they should take their own advice that he (my step dad) gives his employees and find a job where they can be happy. After all, I was here first, they didn’t have problems before when he and I worked together, and they didn’t have problems when I was gone. When actually that did, it’s not me, it’s the boss.
Ugh…Anyway, that’s all for tonight. Laterz.
