Drowning in the Oil!

SOURCE: BlogSpot

The stress is getting to me! Working for a big oil company does not always come in handy! I have worked for BP (British Petroleum) for almost 10 years already and things have never gotten this bad! For one, these Democratic senators are trying to make BP pay off up to $10 BILLION in damages, lost wages, economic suffering and clean-up costs. How can they force us to pay money for something that uncontrollably happened?! No one was able to foresee this accident on the Gulf...the same way the accident in Alaska happened! Since this spill I have worked endless hours trying to find some sort of solution and trying to figure out how it is going to be possible for BP to pay all these costs. I have had little sleep and my stress level is through the roof! My husband and I have been fighting a lot recently due to my late work hours. He hates that I work for BP...these oil spills cost him his job. Since more than 6,800 square miles of federal fishing areas are closed he cannot go out into the waters and catch fish or crab to sell to the nearby restaurants. Because of this I'm the one responsible for maintaining the both of us. The good thing is that we do not have any children! I make enough money to pay off basic necessities (bills, utilities, mortgage). But with my husband no longer working we need to cut down on the leisure activities. That means no more going to the theater, no more dinners at fancy restaurants, and no more gifts...at least not until he finds a job. There is just a lot of tension between the both of us right now and work is not making things any better! HELP!
