Merry Christmas and a Happy New Lounge

[KRYPTON INC.]

is started out rocky, as it does every year, but it got better lol

how was yours?

It's the first holiday season since my dad died and it's a little rough, especially for my mother. She has her moments, ya'know. She had a moment where when she tried to put away my father's toothbrush she just started sobbing, so times like this are really weighing on her. But... Such is life. I came back from seeing her and my grandma at my brother's place in Manhattan. It was nice, but I could sense how she was feeling and frankly, there really isn't anything I can do but be there for her and hope she can come out better on the other side.

My dick of a manager took away my Friday off day.

My **** of a manager took away my Friday off day.

Did he at least tell you why?
Your manager hates you.

Our schedule runs from Friday to Thursday, and for the past few weeks I've had Friday and Saturday off after working the other five days (usually Sun-Thurs)..now I'm working six days in a row between two pay periods. And I can't even switch with anybody because he sent out a mass text saying we'll basically get fired for doing so during the "holiday weeks" (Christmas and New Years)

 

[ComicChick]

you should keep all these texts

do you have a union?

By the way... Are Food Crimes a capital offense? Is that like a Big Brother deal, or what? Or is this more like something in Gordon Ramsay's wheelhouse?

Repeated offenses are punishable by Type II Diabetes. So sayeth the laws of the Pancreas.

And he's not talking about being exiled to the Islets of Langerhans.

Yeah... It's been a trying few years for the Krypt-meister. Mom got breast cancer and came out well enough after chemo and then a double mastectomy. Then, maybe two weeks after the last of my mother's reconstruction surgery was completed we got my dad's diagnosis. Multiple cancers. I try to be a realist, and pretty sanguine about these sort of things. With my mother, I felt, and calculated that she had a chance, after the Doctors gave us the full over view. With my dad though... I just knew from the start that this wasn't going to end well. As a Rabbi might say of the whole situation... It is, what it is. Life.

We don't, but I plan to, if this guy gets any more uppity than he already is.

Spoiler

We have no chimney.

Had to charge him, using our toilet is not free.

Loooooove that Game of Thrones collection, I'll leave it unopen, and ready it for auction.

Aziz winning

Maybe Kev can bid on his own presents although hopefully he pays more than store price.

Who the **** comes into a GAS STATION at 5:15 in the ****ing MORNING with a $100 bill just to get $10 in gas??

It's stupid crap like this that pisses me off.

I don't want to imagine how one of my parents would be like when that happens.
A couple of days ago I remembered my oldest uncle, 3 months from now will be the second year since the passing of his daughter.

That's really tough KI, all you can do is be there for those you love. And it sounds like you are already doing that.
It's been 15 and 10 years respectively since I lost my Mother and Father. All I can tell you is that the passage of time does help.


I wish you and your family the very best for this holiday time and 2015.


For everyone else, see your parents and loved ones during this time and others. Tell them how much you love them, because one day you won't have that chance.

Thank you all for the kind words. With me memorializing my dad in my sig I sometimes worry that I may go on about his death too often around the Hype. But it's the worst thing that ever happened to me, or my family and it happened in 2014, so it's still just very raw. Again, thanks all for the kindness. It is appreciated.
