So, everything that needed to be done today got done! Onboarding is complete and I'm waiting on my supervisor to contact me about my first day. Ideally, I'll be on the job by Monday!
Water is back in service! Unfortunately, so is the messed up pipe, but tomorrow is another day. Internet is taken care of, so there should be no more service interruptions for the rest of the month. And electricity. Even though I told my family I had no need for much help on that front, they insisted to the point of obstinance in putting at least three months of credit, possibly five or six if I work it right, on my bill. Far be it from me to try and save them money.
Speaking of money, my father, not one to miss spoiling a good moment or reminding me what a burden I am, decided that I cost him too much money (a lie) and delegated any future help to my mother (who actually can't). I know for a fact he has $40,000 sitting in a bank account, and to be clear, I don't feel entitled to the money. I feel pissed off that he can't tell the truth (He doesn't want to help me, but feels obligated to.) and instead hides behind "poverty" and, let's be fair, my mom.
He'll relent. He always has, especially when he can be a fair weather friend again.
All in all though, an OK day, my father notwithstanding.
