Today has been a shitty day all around
My work wants me to learn javaScript. Not so bad, I really want to learn all I can about various languages. The problem is they want me to learn it -now-. I was given a small snippet of code to look over and I’m going to be quizzed on it tomorrow.
I know jack about javaScript. I can stare at this snippet for 3 hours and not learn a damn thing. It’s just not how I learn things. I learn through trial and error, through playing, and definitely at my own pace.
So this will royally suck. And though I’d prefer not to have homework for my job, I’m doing a bit of studying at home and putting off all of my personal projects. Which means I’m just getting more and more backed up…..great.
Regardless, I’m determined. I can’t afford to lose my job if they decide I’m not useful anymore. Not at all.
My dads surgery cost $12,000. We have to pay about $1,000 of that with Medicare taking care of the rest, which isn’t bad considering, but it’s still money I just don’t have. I figure $600 to get my broncos and my dads F-150 ready for emissions. More money spent before I even make it.
My father went to the doctors today, they did more bloodwork and found out his red-bloodcell count is a little low. Not what I wanted to hear. They aren’t sure if it’s because of the surgery or what. I’ve been fighting back tears since I’ve been home and found out. It never does me any good to cry anyway, it just makes me more upset.
They want him to start the South Beach diet. So he’s reading a book on that now. I’m going to do it with him to help encourage him, since it’s hard to stick to a particular diet. I know I said I’m not a strong supporter of diets, but I’d fucking eat just lettuce everyday for the rest of my life if it’d help my father.
