1.27.10 Today is Javier's 28th birthday. I thought (& would feel better if) it was his 29th because that would mean he is THAT much closer to 30. But alas, he's only 28. And I'm 31. Gross. Anyway, he still hasn't found a job. He's turned in applications here, there & everywhere but no one has called nor cared. Here, to get a job, you have to KNOW SOMEONE. Which is bullcrap! Javier is MORE than qualified for ANY position but since he is white & knows no one, no one will hire him. They look at Javier as more of an EXPENSE than an asset because he is American. He's not willing to work 5 days a week, 12 hours a day for a weekly paycheck equivalent to $50 USD. This we did not see coming. ARGH! Back to my point, since he has NO JOB, we have NO MONEY. Since we have no money, we won't be celebrating his birth day. Lame. It is fortunate for him, I suppose, that he doesn't give a crap about birthdays or holidays. He could care less if we celebrate anything. Needless to say, it was harder on me today that we couldn't celebrate than it was on him. All he wanted was a good dinner- picadillo and tres leches cake. Fine! And that was the plan until Frances & Porfirio decided to take a trip to Guadalahara for a white board which in turn meant we had to make tacos for dinner & no dessert. Lame. With Javier still in good spirits, the end of his day got even better. I put on my little black number, dimmed the lights & gave him a sensual massage which of course led into happy birthday "relations." :)
