Jeez.. it's been forever. But isn't that my song always?

Exciting stuff:
Work is thinking of getting a second shift, and I told my supervisor that I'd like to try for 'lead' of second shift. The times that I need to be at work will be drastically different (Now: 7am-3:30, 2nd shift: 2:15pm-10:45pm). I feel that they would be more accommodating than my current ones, though.
My super is supportive of me being lead. He thinks I could do a good job. Though, I have to be careful of being condecending, apparently. Two people have complained about it. I can guess that one was fairly recent. And she so deserved it. The other.. well, she doesn't work here anymore, and I can't remember ever being like that to her.. But, oh well. My supervisor just said I should work on it. He also said that he doesn't have the last say in who gets it. So, I have my fingers crossed.


In other news.. More holidays are coming up and my family is in crazy time.
My mom and sister fought, and Lil is no longer living there.. I think she's working her living situation out now. And.. my dad.. well, my dad's in kinda bad shape living an hour from Modesto. It's cold up there at night.. but he has space heaters.
Oh.. and I forgot my mom's birthday. It was the 11th of this month. I got a text message from her boyfriend the day after asking if I told her Happy Birthday. I didn't reply.
I got her a couple framed photographs of butterflies. I hope she likes them. I don't really know what to do, though.. Like, should I see her face to face? Or should I just ignore it all and put on a smile like everyone else does?
I dunno. This is stressful for me. My mom is already pretty fragile. I even got a call from her the next day.. she told me when we were all getting together on Christmas Eve (2pm.. but at whose house? I think she said my Grandma's..). She sounded down.. but I didn't ask. Now.. I just feel like an asshole, and I want to avoid it.

Oh well. Now I'm depressed. I need to go. Take care, y'all.  ¶ 7:28 PM
