ffox | + people with glass stones shouldn't throw houses

i am not in a good mood today. i am fed up.

chris's dad is due to come and stay for two nights from friday, which means drink & takeaways and all the things we normally try and avoid. chris can be very tunnel vision about his dad. his stepmum has dementia and i keep trying to point out that alright it can be a bit much when dad rings five times a day, but also he has nobody else to talk to that will talk back. i will go in lauras room and chris will bunk in the attic with logan and dad will have our bed. the joys of a tiny house means constant shuffling to make everyone fit.

chris also wants to ask logan to move in. logan has quit his job. i have no issue with logan moving in (seems to be a rite of passage for the stepkids to come and live with us for a bit) but he will need to contribute. i cannot put myself in a position whereby i am supporting three adults and laura by myself. chris thinks they can make enough money to cover it by reselling things from bootsales, but i think that if it was that easy he would already be doing that and taking some of the pressure off me.

i don't have log ins for work so i have been sat at my desk for a full solid eight hours playing on my phone and staring into space. its very annoying. the difference between the induction training and the "on the job" training has been such a sharp decline that i have given myself whiplash. on the plus side, once trained there is lots of overtime available, and that is 1.5x pay, and then if you do enough overtime during the week you can work sunday overtime which is 2x pay. so i could earn an additional £1000 a month after tax just by doing an additional 14 hours a week. and thats on my current wages. obviously if i go to senior, that will go up. its not like i have a life outside of work anyway, and at least that way i could put a huge amount of money into savings each month.

anyway, i'm going to bed early to be grumpy in peace.

ps. my mother in law has bought a flat in the town half an hour away from us. she also bought me a doormat for christmas. is she trying to hint at something?
