Dear whomever was flying a drone over our house this morning before 7 a.m.: you're a jerk. And given a chance (and a weapon), I'd shoot it down.

Dear Self,
GET A GRIP! You're a grown ass woman & everything will be FINE. This gnawing panic is way overblown. It's not that long & you'll be fine.
My hubby leaves in 2 weeks to go to school in Kansas, for FOUR MONTHS! He can come home twice in that time period. In 25 years, longest we've been apart is 10 days. I'm kinda freaking out over it. I know it's a good thing, I know everything will be fine, but I haven't really been alone in YEARS. I only lived alone once for 6 months when I was 18. Things I never even have to think about, now I'm worried about & freaking out over. If it snows, I just get hubby to run any errands or drive me around. If something breaks, I just tell hubby & he fixes it. If I can't open a jar, I get hubby to open it. It's silly stuff that I'm thinking about and realizing I gotta figure this shit out on my own for awhile.

And Do you not want more of my money?? My toxic friend in Colorado returned a modem to Century Link some years ago. She is still being charged $5 per month for it as far as I know because she won't call them and tell them she has more than paid for that modem. She really wanted me to call but it is not my problem.

When I had to deal with Century Link, it seemed that the employees were only taught to use the hold and the transfer buttons; and not how to do anything useful for the paying customers.

Better now than when you are older and he may be really gone. I know so many older people that don't know how to do things on their own - both the men and women. My grandpa had to learn to cook, clean, and other household stuff when my grandma got dementia. His cleaning was never really good.... Its not that scary, and you'll be proud of yourself once you figure it out/just do it. And probably more grateful to your DH that you don't need to do it when he comes home. FYI - youtube is a savior for videos on fixing small things. Manufacturer's and parts sellers put a ton of videos on there on how to fix issues - you don't necessarily need to just watch the guy filming in his garage. I've fixed my washing machine and a few other appliances using a videos from Partsselect, who sell the parts.

Since mom died, my sister and I have commented on how their division of chores did not do dad any favors. He is so helpless with all of the things she did. In reality, she did almost everything in the house as dad is not the least bit handy.
Wiping off the dining room table isn't done well. He does have a cleaning lady who comes in every 3 weeks. It's a good thing because he is no longer capable of doing things.
He does write checks to pay his bills. He pays them the same day they come in the mail. However, yesterday he was totally confused as to why I was taking the receipts and check copies. I keep the check register on an Excel spreadsheet and have for over 5 years now. More dementia issues I guess.

You did all that work in your house on your own, and it's awesome. You are awesome. You can do this. Set up communications in advance with a trusted friend or neighbor you can depend on for the really "oh, $&!%" moments. And look up stuff on Youtube. Somewhere, someone has faced a problem you will face, figured it out and posted it on Youtube. Seriously, I have learned to fix so much stuff from Youtube videos, even I'm shocked. And then come here and celebrate (or complain) and we'll get you through it. We love ya.

When I had to deal with Century Link, it seemed that the employees were only taught to use the hold and the transfer buttons; and not how to do anything useful for the paying customers. I just received word they did not change something we requested weeks ago, nor have they successfully set up an additional number for us. It's been nearly two weeks.

E had had various savings accounts for things like RE taxes, Xmas funds, etc. L had no clue where anything was, thankfully E kept great records. she never had to do a thing their whole marriage. sadly, I expect they may have to repeat this with dad's BFFs widow in the coming weeks. same deal, he did everything.

My best friends husband dropped dead at 46. Friend had no clue since he did everything even coming home with car - didn't even give her a choice or input. When he passed away I spent a week with her going thru stuff. She didn't even know who had the mortgage on their home. It never dawned on me that she was clueless. (They moved away and I wasn't with her on a day to day basis or I probably would have picked up on it) And on top of it all had an IRS audit which she had no clue was coming up.
He traveled and she didn't even open mail addressed to him when it came. She put it in a pile for him to handle - I'm talking bills and such. She found out after he croaked what a friggin mess he left her.
In her defense she is 12 yrs older than me so I just reminded myself that maybe it was a generational thing. This was back in the 70's when he died. But she learned a lesson the hard way and to this day knows every penny and such.
In this day and age I cannot phantom a wife not knowing the basics. But also realize I am/was so independent that I don't count on anyone but myself and that included the 18 yrs I was married. Heck since I was 6 yrs old in reality

Or you can come hang out in Kansas with me. I know how to do all that stuff. Well, some fixing I don't know how to do, but we can call my dad if needed.

A good friend of mine lost her dad to brain cancer. He didn't share that he was sick, in part because her mom had Ahlzheimer's. He didn't have time to tell his 3 daughters much about finances before he could no longer assist. He did get one of the daughter's POA so they could take care of finances.
It took them some time to get everything straightened out. They had a condo and a rental condo in Myrtle Beach. The daughters didn't know he had recently refinanced both of them, so they took a loss when they sold both units.
When they finally got their mother to move back to New Jersey, they wanted to put her in Assisted Living. When they took her there and she was evaluated, she went in to memory care.
My friend says she still enjoys going to the movies so she tries to take her at least once a week.

If a jar is hard to open just wedge a spoon under the edge of the lid and pop the seal so air can get in. It will open easy after that. Anything else?

Dear Century Link, You said on January 11th your supervisor would be calling back that day with our additional number. JANUARY 11TH. It is now the 29th. So, you'll understand my snark and apprehension when you tell me today you're sending an email to me within 10 minutes. Signed, What a Racket PS. Next I "get" to deal with your billing department who screwed up not one, but TWO things on our account.

Dear student worker
When I tell you to bring me your missing hours for November 11 thru December 8 do not bring me a sheet with all your hours in December. When I tell you the deadline is 11:00 AM do not bring me the sheet at 1:00 PM.

Hey "K," OK, we're happy you are back at work after missing a month (yup, your entire allotment of PTO is shot for the year, and then some). Yes, we like you. Yes, you were missed. But perhaps your first meeting with the HR manager should not have included your "brilliant" idea of allowing your fellow employees to donate PTO for another employee's use. That kind of smacks of self-indulgence. I get it. You have bonafide medical issues. But then your kids get sick, and then your mom gets sick, and then you have to leave the office in tears for the day because a client was mean to you over the phone and you cannot deal with it, and then you are chronically late to work. You literally missed almost five months of work last year. The kids and mom getting sick is unavoidable; that stuff happens. But late to work and leaving early the way you do? You just don't have the leeway for that, toots.
And on top of this, you decided to cancel your own company-sponsored health insurance coverage because it was expensive. You're right, it is expensive. But so is getting sick without coverage. So is trying to manage your health issues without being under the regular care of a doctor. So is buying your house (you were renting the home you bought, but now instead of your landlord's money pit, it's yours, even with the additional tax breaks).
I am not an unkind person, though a few people on this board probably think I am. But my sympathy stops when your ability and willingness to help yourself does. I carried over PTO from last year because my DH has medical issues, and I need to keep time aside in case of his emergencies, not yours. And I have competitive events to go to early in the year, when I won't have PTO built up to use.
I'll be the first to admit you cannot plan and prepare for everything. But when you plan for what you can, and tough out the rough patches, you wind up with a cushion, be it time or money or both. Signed, Like you, but not donating to your cause

I would feel the same way, Nancy, especially with being late all the time and leaving early. Not sure how anybody misses 5 months of work and still has a job.

I wouldn’t have donated PTO either.
I’ve done it once to a co-worker who’s DD had brain cancer (discovered while on vacation). Unfortunately her DD had died from it.

In a situation like that, I would donate. That's awful, and understandable. And something where you have no control at all. In this case, "K" has at least some ability to control her health destiny (some aspects of her health involve chronic and long term medical issues) but she isn't doing it. Giving her time isn't giving her a solution to her issues. What happens when there's no more to give? Heck, I'm the only one in the office who has any PTO to donate. And we're talking about three days here.

We don't qualify for FMLA....they company is too small. She just never got paid. And I should add: another thing she wanted her first day back: her last commission check (from December) as soon as possible. I'm not surprised, but again, it seemed a little odd to do these things on day 1 of your return, when you in this kind of trouble. Then again, I can see where money is now an issue, given that she made no money for two weeks, and our next payday is not until the middle of this month. When she is working, she is a great producer. Very good at sales. But it isn't fair. We fired someone last year for attendance issues far less serious than this, and she gets to stay? Even another employee on the staff, her bestie for years, is getting a little peeved about it.

Yes, I know...never hire your friends or family. Well, maybe that's not entirely true. In some businesses, it does work out well. But for the most part, I'd say it's a bad idea. You simply cannot be objective about someone's chances of survival at your company when you like them personally.

Working for the federal government, I didn't see first hand what happens when a small business hires family or friends.
CPA firm #1 hired daughter to groom her to be owner's replacement. When I left, his wife replaced me and she had no tax knowledge. He then let a friend of mine go to hire SIL. Eventually got rid of everyone who wasn't family.
CPA firm #2 hired owner's daughter because she couldn't hold on to a job. The worker bees knew why. She spent all day on the phone instead of even attempting to do her job. You know who had to do her work. He knew it because he took several tax returns away from her and re-assigned them to me. She still worked there. I never did figure out what she did except for having multiple personal crises a day and talk on the phone.

To the coworker who was fired this week, Smoking week on the job? Seriously? You're a single mom with a child to support by yourself, and you do this? WTFF !!! Maybe I'm the idiot, but who takes this kind of risk? You were with us less than four months. A prospective employer is going to ask why, dontcha think?
(FWIW, I never smelled it on her. But I did notice her nodding off at her desk, and her lapses of attention. I assumed she was just tired. Parenthood is tough. But drugging on top of it?) Or am I just mean to think this ain't right?)
