I am trying not to burst into tears right now. My friend has been a very close friend since I was in college in the states. I have been in London since 2002 and I'm getting married here. She has known about the wedding since the beginning of the planning (December 05) and she is one of my bridesmaids. The plane ticket from Washington State to London was about $1500 but only because she left it very late to buy the ticket. She has had some money problems so I transferred £200 (about $450) to help her out with her plane ticket and her mom gave her about the same.
She works for one of the leading phone companies and although she doesn't like the office politics (her boyfriend's ex-girlfriend used to work there and she has many friends in the office) her job pays well and I have never heard her say that she outright hates it. She then tells me that she has been offered a job with a retail chain which involves visual basic but when she looked further into the offer it pays very little ($10 an hour) and the job description made it seem like she would be working at the cash desk. Accepting this job would also mean she would have to miss my wedding as people from Spain (the store is originally from there) would need to train her. I told her that even if it were not for the wedding it didn't sound like a good idea. I mean she makes $30,000 at the phone company and she barely has enough to pay her rent. She agrees says all her friends and family also say that this is not a good idea.
I have been trying to get a hold of her for the past few days to find out her flight info but she has not been answering phone calls or returning emails. So this morning I check my inbox and see an email from her and I'm thrilled thinking she has sent her details. She hasn't.
This is the email I have changed some details.
I will call you tomorrow, but just wanted to email you too. Things aren't good lately. My dad has pneumonia b/c he had been in denial that he had diabetes which made him weak by not taking the medicine they gave him, I decided to take the (clothes store) job because they offered more money and the environment is ten times better than my sexist boss at (well known phone company). I feel so much happier being at (clothes store), ten times better environment and not having to deal with the sexist pig. I'm really upset about everything.
:censor::censor::censor:? I wish she would just say yes I can come or no I can't! This is also the first I hear about her father being ill! How did the job start paying more than her previous job?!!
Am I wrong in this? Please I just need some impartial opinions.
