I gotta rant because this past week or so has been going haywire. It starts last Monday when my manager and I had a meeting and he explained that our old team was broken up but him and I would remain to form a new team. So we're in the middle of layoffs and I'm like, "OK, I'm safe". So then on Friday, I get a call from a different manager and she tells me I'm now reporting to her. MmmmmmmmKay. So I find out today that I am in fact on this womans team (she's a micromanager and a kiss ass) and my manager in fact got demoted! So I'm on this new team in an orginization I don't like and the company has frozen transfers so I can't move to a new position. The easy life is over...

Then over the weekend, I'm getting e-mails from friends getting spooked b/c they are recieving e-mails from random users saying such-and-such said that whose-a-ma-call-it could hook them up and apparently my name was used in a few of those 'such-and-such' situations. So I was trying to calm people down and research past messages to figure out who, what, where, and why? Which thankfully, that situation seems to be under control.

So then yesterday, my wife had some appointments so I gave her the car. She picks me up and the oil temp was high. Now, it's Texas...the heat is a bitch out here. BUT...she left the overdrive turned off which means she was riding around in the wrong gear which is what most likely caused the engine temp to spike. So as I'm getting the car home, the temp keeps going up and up and I think we're going to stall. Luckily we made it OK and I think because she was tooling around w/o OD for so long, that was the basis of the problem. Seems to be OK today.

But ya know...I'm trying to get promoted, I'm trying to buy a house, I have an very expanisve medical procedure to pay for (out of pocket), I need to buy a second car, the IRS is holding on to $5000 that belongs to me, the current car needs to go to the shop, my brother is pissing me off, my brother-in-law is one step away from getting beat down...and whenever people in my family have a problem...who do they go to...me.

But I just have one question....when I have these issues...who can I turn to?
