Temp Soapbox Seranade by the numbers

My temp job has been extended. The time I'm there seems to increase exponentially based on the amount of work that PC piles on my temporary desk. Or, in her words, I'm there until she kicks me out. Of course, she'll have to dig me out of the pile of paper I'm buried under first! I agreed to continue indefinately under one condition. I can use the chair from my old office. The chair I'm using now scares me.

In all seriousness, I'm happy to be there doing something useful and PC tells me daily how much they appreciate the help. I'm learning a lot of new things too. Number things and accounting things and more number things. I like doing something that is not social services for once.

It's funny...I paid off a credit card last month and recently they sent me an upgraded credit card. My account has gone from silver to gold. Other than getting a pretty gold piece of plastic and few extra discounts what's the big deal?

Oh, please excuse the next thought, but it's one I need to express loudly in a public forum...

MICHAEL MEYERS of COLUMBUS OHIO (no relation to the celeb Mike Myers) is a deadbeat dad!!!! He left his wife and 3 chilren for another woman after having an affair for a year, is forcing them to move out of their house and won't pay a cent to support his children until it's court ordered (which could be awhile)!!!!! What a worthless, irresponsible piece of slime! He isn't even man enough to take care of his own children. And I thought my X was a loser. This guy is beyond loser! He could care less if his kids have to change schools or even if they have clothes, food and a roof over their heads! I have to give my X credit for at least taking care of his own flesh & blood, if nothing else. If ANYONE out there can please shed some light on what the EFF goes through the minds of men (or women) who treat their own children like this I sure would appreciate some insight because I just don't get it! *kicks soapbox and watches it shatter into a million pieces & walks away, muttering about excruciatingly painful things that should be done to parents like him*
