I'm thinking, wow, what a great birthday I had today. Went to work, everything seemed normal, until my dad decided to, oh I dunno, start bickering with my mom over money just because my mom gave me birthday money. The bickering soon escalated into a shouting match then into a full blown fight...all the while trying to work and get orders out to the customers and trying to pretend there's nothing wrong. Thankfully they were shouting in Taiwanese instead of English, so none of the customers had any idea what was going on. Wow, this just makes me feel so good to be alive...yeah because, gee, I'm not getting paid right now because money is really tight and we're having financial problems and I finally get some money for my birthday and my dad starts having an attitude because he believes, as always, we're stealing money from him and more ridiculous paranoid shit. Wonderful....as if I weren't already secretly depressed this whole week because of getting older and such, but now this...yes, what a wonderful life...
