There are plenty of places to go and people to visit. Why, tonight I am going over to my sister's in-law's house for dinner, although I was asked by both Mom and A not to attend. Reason: these people are evidently judgmental and may not like that I am pregnant and unmarried. Ha, I quipped, then they probably won't appreciate the fact that this child's father lives in Australia, huh? How about I bring in the broken rubber and my empty bc pill packet as evidence that I'm not completely inadequate as a "proper" woman. No? Yeah, pretty circumstantial. Hey, before that mess I have another date with destiny. I am going to visit Tina this afternoon. She was just fired yesterday, and the story goes like this: I had a great job, but I got pregnant and sick at the same time and recommended my friend Tina to take over while I was on maternity leave. Thing was, no one wanted "sicky" back when the time rolled around and I ended up losing my position to her. So, I come back to this business after months in Africa just to be their receptionist only to watch my friend get fired and then be taken aside twenty minutes later - Sunshine, we really missed you and would love to have you back on our team. Are you fucking kidding me with this shit?! Now, Tina is quite upset, and I, as a friend and smart woman (burned once), cannot take this position even though I love the work and it makes the best sense financially. Alone is lookin' good, baby. Perhaps I may drive out to Marfa and catch some cosmic rays.Sunshine Coyotehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08068080417394159488noreply@blogger.com
