Restless 9-1-1

I've been having problems sleeping lately. Have been for awhile actually, don't know if it's stress or what. I either can't fall asleep or I wake up in the middle of the night wide awake. I've been taking Melatonin, but had to increase the dosage from one pill to two. Last night I decided to try Motrin PM that I found in our medicine drawer. I used to take that and also Tylenol PM and either one would knock me out. I took it around 9:30, went to bed around 11, and was wide the fuck awake! I kept tossing and turning and my legs wouldn't stop moving. I was getting soo mad; I was even yelling at my legs!!! I don't think I got to sleep until probably 1:30 - 2am, and then woke up an hour later wide awake again. I posted something about it on my FB page and before I even mentioned the leg thing, a friend said something about how those PM drugs give her restless legs! That's exactly what I had! It never happened to me before but I don't think I'm ever gonna take that shit again. Fuck that. I was miserable all night! All hail Melatonin!!!

My husband's job isn't going so well. Right now, it's him, the owner's son, and a supervisor that has been there since the beginning. The supervisor is a real ass hat. Yells at my husband (and the owner's son) all day long, calling him a dumbass, telling him that he doesn't know what he's doing (even though he has been doing construction since he was a kid). My husband has been biting his tongue as much as possible but he's about to explode on this dumb little fucker. The owner's son said they have gone through like 11 different people and they all either quit or get fired because of that asshole.. and his dad believes everything the asshole says. When they hired him, it was on a 2 week probationary period. It will be two weeks next Tuesday. I guess the only thing the owner listens to is the asshole supervisor, won't even listen to his own son. Soo once again, looks like we are about to be fucked. Ugh.

I have 2 more days of freedom and then my kids are off on Christmas break for two whole weeks. TWO weeks! What the crap!? I hope it goes fast. At least I'll get to sleep in a little bit. After a day or two of no school, they usually start sleeping in. That's the only thing I have to look forward to amongst the arguing and constant fighting and tattling. Where's my noose???

I'm so disappointed. I applied for a job last week to be a dispatcher/9-1-1 operator for the local sheriff's office. I emailed my cover letter and resume, then noticed that the website said you also had to print out the 4 page application and send it in, too. The application had to be notarized, so I had to go to the f'n bank and pay to have it notarized, which was annoying any way. So then I scanned everything and emailed it to the woman. Got an email back saying I needed to mail her the hard copy, which I did. I wanted the woman to know how interested I was in this job. I always thought I would love to be a 9-1-1 operator, ever since I was a kid and used to watch "Rescue 9-1-1" with William Shatner. Ha! The job posting said no experience required but they wanted someone who had some basic medical knowledge, CPR certified and First Aid knowledge. Umm, that's me!!!!! They were only taking apps until the 7th, so I made sure I got everything in. I haven't heard a word back. Nothing. I know some times places take forever to go through all of the apps they get, but come on!! The pay was really great, too. Soo yeah, I'm kinda salty that I did all of that work, even paid for a fucking notary, and not even an interview. Blah.
