Holy moly, that was one bad afternoon. I'm so glad John finally talked to his boss and was able to work things out so he has his job still and things will, hopefully, change for the better. I can absolutely understand the tears you had falling. I hope this afternoon and evening are much better for you!!

Good luck to Hunter on his driving test, and I hope the lines aren't too long for you.

Thanks Steph! Yesterday afternoon was full of emotions.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the DMV line is short and that we don't have to wait too long.

One plus is the DMV is right beside a wonderful dive called Coney Island and we can pick up something delicious and high in heart clogging goodness.

Oh, Lisa, I would have been crying too. That is just wrong as we can all tell from your posts what a faithful and good worker John is. I'm glad he finally called his boss and told him exactly what was happening and that he is back on the job.

Good luck to Hunter.

Thank you Kathy! John works his butt off and, as I said, has every since he was just 15 years old. Because of how he was raised, he won't "take any guff from anybody" and that's why he left. I'm very happy that he finally spoke his mind.

I'll try to let everybody know how Hunter does this afternoon.

Oh my! What an afternoon!

I completely understand how John could get to the point where he just said "Heck with it. I'm outta here." When you are stuck between knowing that your boss or co-worker are crappy at their jobs and not wanting to feel like you are tattling if you talk to someone about it, it really stinks. I've been there...you're danged if you do, danged if you don't.

Hopefully some good will come out of it!

That's exactly how he was feeling when he quit. The "tattlers" are the main boss's daughter's boyfriend and his friend. John knows good and well that they were put out there to spy or they could be trying to get in good with the boss and the girlfriend.

Oh Lisa what a day you had...so sorry for you...but I am so glad John called his boss and spoke his mind. I am known to be one who always speaks their mind, and sometimes that gets me in trouble, but everyone knows where they stand. Some parents don't know harm they are doing their kids and how it affects them and I thought his father was a minister! You and John are terrific parents so that is why you have such terrific kids. Hope Hunter gets his license...but then he will want a car .Have a good weekend.

It was definitely a stressful day. John's family speaks their mind very quickly and that sometimes gets them in trouble too, John included. But, sometimes, the little boy in him comes out and he won't say a thing. Oh yeah, his father is a "minister" as are two of his brothers. To say that I have a somewhat jaded view of the working of the church, is an understatement. It's hard for me to trust because of what I have seen.

Hunter's been wanting a vehicle for a while now and will probably be gtting one soon...I'm thinking around Christmas. John desperately needs a new truck though and that will come first.

Wow, what an awful day! Glad that John was able to call the boss and finally tell him what is going on. I do hope things change for the better there.

Wow, that was a toughie! It must have been in the air this week because Monday my oldest son quit his job in a similar way! That is more of a guy thing to do, I think. We females always think of all the repercussions before we make the move. I am glad he talked to the boss. After all these years I am sure the boss knows he can trust him, and I hope things work out well. My son's situation was not good working conditions, so he won't be going back, but say a little prayer that he can find another job quickly.
Your photos of the whale show were amazing! You both got some fabulous action shots. I saw the one in San Antonio and I loved the show too, but my photos were not that good!

 

[Chrissi Khris]

Good Luck to Hunter I just pass mine on Monday! Just wondering do you just have to turn up at the DMV and not book a test in the US??? I had to wait 8 week til I could take mine here in UK.
Glad that the job situation kinda worked out.
I've not seen the show after they changed it because of the accidence going to in October. The picture were lovely. Glad that mama enjoyed the show

 

[lovethattink]

Whoa! That must have totally thrown you for a loop yesterday. I'm glad it sounds like things may get better in the end having this happen.

My best wishes to Hunter as he takes his test.

 

[mickeystoontown]

I'll come back and post replies later but wanted to tell you all that


HUNTER PASSED HIS DRIVING TEST! HE'S A HOLDER OF AN OFFICIAL LOUISIANA DRIVER'S LICENSE!

We had to wait more than 2 hours just to be called to the window and it wasn't a minute too soon. I often say that, if you want to feel better about yourself, go to the beach. You won't look as bad as you think you did compared to what you see on the beach. Well, the same goes for the DMV. I looked at Hunter and asked if he was glad that his dad and I didn't look as rough and nasty as some of the folks that were in there. He just put his arm around me, hugged me and said "I love you!".

There were all sorts of folks in there and some stunk to high Heaven! Just plain old gross! Hunter and I put hand sanitizer on our hands and held our hands up to our noses. I kid you not. It was that bad. They should have made a pit stop in the bathroom and did a little freshening up...or scraping off. Yuck!

I told the lady who was going to give him the driving test to go easy on him when it got to the parking part of the exam 'cause his Daddy won't let us park near anything. We stlll have to park out in No Man's Land. She thought that was hilarious and it broke the ice.

Okay, I'm off to eat the Coney Island food that we picked up after Hunter passed. Yummy!

Congratulations to Hunter!!

Congrats, Hunter!

 

[elder]

Congrats to Hunter! I have an aunt that works at the drivers license bureau here in Mississippi, and she has great stories!! Wal-Mart is a place that always helps out my self-esteem!!!

I am glad it is working out for John! I would have been crying too if my husband called me and told me he quit his job! Can't wait for your next installment!

 

[MissLiz]

Congrats to Hunter!!

So, is he going to be on the driving rotation to WDW?

 

[donna6635]

Glad things are better all around. Can't wait for updates, they keep me in a Disney frame of mind! to all!

 

[GrammyJudy]

Congratulations Hunter

 

[Kathy Jetson]

It's good to hear that mama got to cross something off her bucket list and that you all enjoyed it!

I'm so sorry to hear that about John's job. I know what you mean about just having one paycheck. I am still out of work and River's father and I are no longer together BUT he is helping a lot right now. I hope things turn around at John's work and he is happy there. The boss should let John be the supervisor! Tell him we all said so!

Yay for Hunter getting his DL! but sorry you had to be around such stinky people

 

[melnbil]

Yeah for Hunter passing his test!!

Sorry to hear about John's job, but glad things worked out.

If you wouldn't mind posting the directions, that would be awesome. I will print them and put them with my folder for next year. Maybe I won't lose them.

Can't wait for more updates!

 

[ronnmel]

Congratulations Hunter!

Also, sorry for the crappy day you had yesterday. I'm glad John talked with his boss and got everything off his chest. I hope things get better for him at work from here on out.
