Three more days till CampNaNo! Got a couple of short stories in mind for that. Then I have another story in mind for after that, but I may start it sooner.

It’s weird but nice having Tom come home so much earlier. I just wish it could’ve happened when I was feeling bad. He’s still asked to work overtime but he says no, no longer giving a shit if they spite him by letting him go. There are too many other jobs out there that will start you off at $20 an hour or more. Sooner or later he’s going to get laid off or fired anyway because that’s just the nature of most jobs.

The question is whether or not he can ever find a place that will pay him fairly. A Woman who’s friends with someone who still works there just got a job somewhere else starting at $20 an hour and she’s older and just as white. Yet it still seems that no matter where he goes, he’s not destined to be given what he should get just like I’m not destined to sleep normally.
