It’s Gonna Be A Long Day
Last night when I got out of work Greg, Jonathan and I went to Red Lobster. Not my favorite joint in the world but Greg loves their coconut shrimp and since it’s endless shrimp fest he wanted to go. We go every year for this one thing. Other than that Red Lobster is not on my list of dining experiences I can’t live without. I mean, please! Is it anybody’s?
When we got back from dinner I had to get some final paperwork together for my bankruptcy hearing. I don’t know if I’ve mentioned that I finally went through with filing for it. It’s like a total surrend for me and I hate having to do it but I’m not gonna make it any other way. I feel like I’m bailing on my responsibilities but if I don’t do this now, I want be able to take care of my responsibilities to my children and that’s far more important then my pride.
Anyway, I got the last of the paperwork together that they wanted after receiving my bankruptcy paperwork. My hearing with the creditors is scheduled for November 2nd but I’ve been told not to worry. Most times the creditors never show up and you’re in and out in five minutes. I only have the one creditor that I’m looking to have discharged anyway. I’m keeping my jeep. The only bill I’m bailing on is my credit card and that’s only because after losing my job last year and getting divorced I had to live off the credit card to survive.
Work has been slow but busy if that makes any sense. The boss was out of town yesterday with the CEO of the company. We’ve been scraping the bottom of the barrel for funds here lately and I think they wanted him to come explain why things are the way they are. Of course it could be much worse and he could come back in today and tell us that the company’s insolvent and we’re all laid off but I’ll keep that thought to myself and wait for him to come in and let us know what’s what. I think it’s been mismanagement of money on his part. That and he’s not the right fit for managing a production facility. He’s an accountant by all rights and a pretty bad one at that from what I hear so he should stick to what he’s "NOT" good at? Boy that sounds pretty gruff.
Now I have to go make myself look busy for the remainder of the day and it’s only nine-thirty now. Aaaaggggghhhh. It’s going to be a long day.
I filed before the laws changed, but my bankruptcy hearing was a cakewalk. I’m sure you’ll be fine. 🙂

I hate having to look busy. That’s one of the few nice things about working second shift. No one’s around to see me play Minesweeper and solitaire all night. Bankruptcy is tough, but I’m sure you’ll make it through just fine. It will be tough for a bit, but at least you won’t lose everything. I’ve never been to Red Lobster, but it seem like the seafood eqiuvalent to Olive Garden. Good, but not the real thing. RYN: John and I both tried with the surgeon (John’s not one of those people who will tolerate being ignored). He already had his mind made up though, so nothing we said made any difference. I’ve know for a while that I really had to go to a gastroenterologist, unfortunately, I’ve had to go the hard way to get an appointment with one. Lots of hugs, david.
