Good news, bad news

[rayvyn2k]

The good news is, I got a phone call today and I am definately hired at State Farm. The job starts in January, so that's a relief.

The bad news...we won't be going to Florida for Christmas this year. I am so sad about this, I cannot even express it in words. I would have said "Fuck all" and just gone anyway, but hubby basically put his proverbial foot down. Since I didn't get the severance pay I was promised, he is right, but still--I feel gypped. I have been hoarding my "vacation" days like a damn miser all year and really looking forward to all of the wonderful craziness that is my sister's house on Christmas morning...and to not be able to go is just heartbreaking. I find myself tearing up at unexpected times, and just wanting to say "to hell with it" and drive down anyway...

...but I can't.

Why can't anything ever work out for me the way it's supposed to?

Congrats on the job!!! :)

I'm so sorry you can't go to Florida though. *hugs* Might you be able to plan a trip there in a month or two? Give you something to look forward to at least?
