Life I Need Some Good JuJu Here Guys... - Page 5

**Gonzo** · 02-12-2010, 11:31 AM

Well, Shit...

It's been a rough few months for the Gonzo clan and I could use some good Mojo...

I found out a few days ago that my mother has a baseball sized growth on her right kidney.
The Doc said he's seen this before and it's likely not Cancer, (I don't know what the hell it would be, a cyst perhaps). Apparently, the treatment for this involves injecting a small radioactive rod into the growth and killing the infected tissue. Unfortunately, this will likely kill the kidney as well.
This usually wouldn't worry me much because my mother was always a very strong woman. However, since her retirement about 8 years ago her health has steadily gone down hill.
My mom's a great person, she worked as a CNA for over 30 years while moving every 1-3 years for my dad so he could further is millitary career.
Lifting Senior Citizens in and out of bathtubs and off of toilets for that long has taken it's toll on her.

They both retired at a fairly young age and have been able to enjoy it until recently.

At this point you pray for small victories.

All of this crap coupled with my job worries, worries for my son and all the other bullshit I deal with daily wears a guy out.

One thing I'll say is that Lumpy has been awesome with all of this. She's been a great help and very supportive. She absolutely loves my parents and is always there for them.

Another bright spot is that I'm being considered for a promotion.
Funny how things like this go, I'm either worried about getting canned or I'm excited for a new opportunity. WTF?

I was going to take an extended break from this place but I am in need of the stress relief that CP provides so I'll be in and out.
(gimme my $$$ back Sofaking)
I try not to share too many personal issues on here but with all of the support you guys have given me, it's only fair I keep you updated.

Today is a big day. My mom goes in for her MRI to find out WTF the deal is.

Also,
I interview today for the promotion, I have been on needles for two days.
Reason being, The department I currently work in is folding in two weeks, (I was notified of this yesterday). Therefore, I either get a promotion or I'm out of a job.

Please send me the good Juju.
Thanks

Good luck man....sorry I missed this the first time around.

If you're going to puke, brush your teeth before you head in to talk to them.

Seriously though, you're in my thoughts today. Did you follow-up with what we talked about?

Yeah,
It was a Security banking position in Lincoln.
Not my cup of tea.

And to top all this shit off, they just called me to reschedule.

Noon tomorrow. Phone interview.
Shit.

**The Franchise** · 02-16-2010, 01:51 PM

Dude....I ****ing hate phone interviews. It's hard to act like it's an interview when you're staring at a blank wall and you have a 3 year old knocking on the office door.

If by 3 year old, you mean my co-workers then yes.

Well... No use sitting here not doing anything. I'm going home.

**** It!

I'm out.

May as well use some of that vacation time they owe me.
