Happy Anniversary

Well, today was 18 years with Ron.  Overall, it went pretty well.  The small soda machine, not covered by our contract, died and I saved Ron a repair bill.  I also repaired a faulty bill validator.  In addition to that, I did an inventory, called in an order for delivery tomorrow, got a milk delivery, and stocked the machines, while helping Ron. 

Ron said I was a big help, and meant it.  Then we went out to lunch after work.  We had a good time; he only had one beer.  Tomorrow I have to get up at 2 AM for work. 

I am somewhat dreading it.  Romeo will be there, and his butthead employee has decided he hates me because I wore a Christian t-shirt.  Apparently, very few people across the hall are coming in to work, and act like professional human beings. 

I'm there to work.  If they are going to act like jerks, I will pray for them and take care of my business, without their help.  The fact that the guy is still making odd comments about kissing me, 3 months after he tried, is rather alarming.  I haven't been alone with him once since it happened, I don't trust him now. 

After that last comment, I think Ron finally agrees.  Anyway, I hope at least one of them acts like a grownup. 

I think one reason they stopped selling milk in their vending machines; they didn't like asking me to get it every week.  I ALWAYS cheerfully got it, but it's impossible to feel victimized when the "Bad Guy" is helping you run your business, getting your delivery, putting it into your fridge, and even propping the invoice up against the time clock.  . 

Anyway, I'm a little depressed today, not surprising.  I have to remind myself that at times, I will be depressed - and that's just life.  My husband is an alcoholic.  My Dad completely forgot my birthday.  That hurts.  I know they both love me and wouldn't choose to hurt me, but it does. 

Ron swears he is dead serious about helping me with the handout on Saturday "Can we get fried chicken after?"  [blinking]  I guess.  It certainly won't be an average day. 

I just need to get through it and move on; after I have a little fun online I will do my God Time and go to bed early.
