I met my best friend in seventh grade. I was a lonely child that moved the previous summer and entered Como junior hs. She has been my friend through thick and thin including long absences on my part. I was the wild one and she was the girl who played by the rules. Married her first serious boyfriend after living together. They bought a house, always worked had a daughter. The only child i have ever felt kick.
A few years ago she went through a rough divorce, and had to sell her house. She moved into an apartment and her daughter who is very smart is attending the University of Minnesota. I really don't know how she did it.
I know theres been times when she has had very little money. Dorm fees, car insurance for her and her daughter, rent, and food.
Her job is heading south to Georgia, company headquarters as they sell truck parts and we know how the auto industry is doing. She has to train her replacement. The job she has been doing is the equivalent to one and a half jobs, as they have been squeezing them harder for two years. The company told them it would be May or June.
She called me this morning, her mother died last Thursday. Due to the weather she hadn't seen her for a month. The following day at her job they said March thirtyfirst was it. This is i believe the third time she has trained people for her work going elsewhere. It breaks my heart. She has been looking on line, she is computer savvy good at customer service and could probably do anything. She needs a job that is not leaving Minneasota.
Her daughter works at a coffee shop and has since highschool. My friend is poor but proud, she doesn't take charity. She also worked in a garage they had and knows how to change a transmission.
Who am i ? I have been here over two years, when my computer drive bit the dust i was unable to register with a new email provider. My tag is the same and due to things i said about local politicans i will only say half of my old name which was Sophie something. What kind of person is my friend? She is the type of person who would give me half of her liver.
So if you have a job for this woman please let me know. I'm not computer savvy and only have one email address. So if you have a safe email and i could contact you please do. This is my first diary and i had trouble posting yesterday so please be patient and i will answer any responce. I upgraded firefox last night so i'm hoping it helped. Peace
