His Mom’s Not Coming

Marcus got word from his mom today that Gary (Marcus' stepdad) got a new job and now they're not coming. Oh, well. I was so looking forward to not working those three days, but I really can't afford to miss any work right now. I suppose it's for the best since there's supposed to be a winter storm moving in the beginning of next week. Taking trips across the open plains this time of year can be tricky.

I've been having money taken out of my paychecks for the last two months that is supposed to be deposited into my new 401K account. I found out today that, as of yet, no such account exists. The stupid owner has been lazy about finding out how to set up a single account that can accept contributions from basically two different companies. I asked him where this money that was witheld is being kept. He says it's in the store's checking accounts. So, it's not doing me a damn bit of good there, is it? He's the one that pushed me to do this, even though my future employment is shaky. It would be really nice to get this resolved before he has to let me go. Granted, 3% of each paycheck plus his supposed "matching contribution" hasn't added up to a fortune yet, but it's missing the point of being retirement savings if it can't grow in a retirement account. Argh, I swear.

I'm finally starting to like "That 80s Show" and now they keep preempting it for stupid, lame stuff like celebrity boxing. I don't care to see Tanya Harding and Paula Jones duking it out. Give me a break.

I did two day's worth of dough so I wouldn't have to drive to town tomorrow. I really wanted to try out the new shaver, but I am so incredibly tired, it would probably be a big mistake. I think I'm going to bed now.
