Okay, I have been playing with putting pictures on my blog and boy is it ever frustrating. But I did with the help of my 15 year old, get some loaded on here. So take a look at the photo album. I hope to put on some more of our pets on and some of my sons woodworking. Be patient with me this is a learning process :)
It has been raining here in Texas all day. We have had power outages on and off.
Yesterday, My son took a woodworking class on how to make peppermills. His boss was there and was rude. My son came home and told me of his bosses actions and comments and my husband and I were alarmed at the comments, which were more like threats. Some even had a sexual connotation. They were also overheard by other students and fellow employees. This is not the first time this has taken place.
This has all started because my son wants to take a leave of absence for 3 weeks, and his boss is bent out of shape that my son would think of doing such a thing, oh my!(sarcasism) He has also taken this request of leave as a personal slight on him.
Well, today my husband and I went in and my son spent some of his hard earned savings on restocking his workshop and buying a grinder/sharpener because our plan was for him to quit today and he wanted to get his stuff under the discount. His boss could not believe Jonathan was quitting and thought he was bluffing. At this point, it is not about the 3 weeks, it is about respect, it is about being treated poorly and according to our lawyer friend, it is about harassment. It is sad, it has come to this and I question how we get involved with such people. It is a long story and I don't want to post the sorted details.
While we were at his work, his boss came in and tried to make small talk with us and I had all I could do to keep my composure. He acted like a chameleon. We didnot want to make a scene and so we said very little and left. he got the picture and called my son later and wanted to know what was up and after said Jonathan could have the 3 weeks but it was putting him in a real bind and of course he would be beholden to the store for sometime.
Well, long story short, like I said it is not about the time off anymore and my son has come to the place where he does not want to work in that kind of environment. He has been looking into being a camp counselor at a Christian camp, and is waiting to see where God leads. He is putting in his last 2 weeks there. He tells the boss on Monday-oh, boy sparks are gonna fly, more sarcasism, I am so bad!
Okay, to move on- today, I went to look at my sons senior pics we had taken and they came out so good. The photographer took over 125 and I had a hard time limiting it down to 15 and now I have to choose from them. One thing that worked out great though is that my son, bartered some of his wares. The photographer bought 3 pens and a kalioscope and that came up to 150.00. I know that sounds like alot but the pens my son sells go from 25- 55.00 and the kalioscope for 35.00. We wanted to make him a deal but he refused and so he is taking it out of the pics, horray. I have to post those pics soon.
The rest of the day was spent not doing much as we had no power, my husband has to work all weekend again so he was home today and he played board games with the kids and I read to Zach, Eragon. Then we went to Jonathan's store and went shopping for a futon but we think we are going to make one instead. Then it was late and my dh suggested we get a pizza, horray again!
Tonight, I am doing up the dishes and some wash. My dh is already to bed as he has to get up by 3 a.m. My boys are playing a game and Jonathan is working in the woodshop. I love when we are all home so I know where everyone is.
Well, I know this is very long but I had lots to say:) (nothing new I guess :)
