The 'unlucky' ones...

Who knew so much could change in 24 hours?

The past weekend was spent like most weekends. We spent Friday with friends, Saturday we ran errands, repaired the Blaze (surprised? you shouldn't be...), and we ended the eve celebrating Kari’s day of birth and Cold Stone ice cream cake! Delish! Sunday we spent with the fam playing games, eating delish food etc... Normal right? Right.

Monday morning we both go to our workies. Normal right? Right.
Monday at 11:00 a.m. I get a call from Ad. He's been fired.
I'm in shock. Then, I freak out. Normal right? WRONG.

The reason is what really TICKS me off. Apparently he had excessive absences. I can see how that is a problem IF they are unexcused. HOWEVER, in Ad's case... ALL days off were approved by his manager. She could have told him he had to come in if she had a problem with it. ALSO, less that one month ago Adam had his performance review with this manager who did nothing but praise his performance as a Team Leader. NO mention was made of his absences. WHAT A FRIGGEN joke!

Anywho. I just don't get it. Adam's absences were sooo long ago. If they had a problem why did they wait till half way in June? Why not fire him on the spot in February when the said 'absence' problem occurred.

Anyone who knows Adam knows what a hard worker he is. There is nothing he can't do. His being fired is definitely not normal and came as a COMPLETE shock to both of us. Wow.

So yesterday was a definitely difficult day (alliteration point!).We spent the majority of the day filling out unemployment sheets, and filing for tons of jobs. Luckily he has an interview tomorrow. So please help us and cross anything you can: eyes, fingers, legs, arms, toes, heart, hairs, stitch etc...

We spent most of the day in waves, sadness, frustration, disbelief, shock, anger, worry, panic... You name it. We felt it. I finally fell asleep around 3 a.m. The morning was better. Somber, but refreshing to have the worst behind us. I got ready as usual: shower, get dressed, etc. Normal. Got in my car and began to pull out of the driveway. Normal? Yes. Very normal.

Then I noticed the back door to the Blazer was wide open. Normal? Nope. Not normal. I looked around wondering if Ad had followed behind me and was getting something out of the car, but nope. No Ad. I put the car in park and walked up to the door. It looked clean. That was the problem. I recalled Saturday when Ad was working on the Blaze that it had a computer in the back. .... You guessed it.... Computer? Gone. Subwoofer? Gone. CD's? Gone. Adam's school bag with complete with books and calculator and homework? Gone. Gun loading supplies for Ad? Gone.

My refreshing day? Gone.

Oh well. I have come to terms with the fact that I absolutely, without a doubt, have the worst, most completely UN-lucky luck. Sigh.
