Coming home yesterday morning to find Pestilence's childhood cat dead. The two things that make me even sadder is that the cat was specifically very attached to Pest's mom, we were just taking care of him until she could get on her feet again which is to happen shortly since she got a great new job and promotion, and she has been so busy working and taking classes that she wasn't able to come out and see him before he went. I'm sad for her as I know what it's like to be that busy and not knowing something like this would happen and I'm also very sad for the kitty because he never got to see his mom again.

*sigh* One thing after another. Oh and a company cashed a check that they were supposed to be holding for me until December...two days ago. So when 6-7 of my other bills hit my account it bounced it 6-7 times.

The book came today, bound in dark brown leather, the name in the style of one of my favorite sci-fi writers, shining at me in its golden crest, leafed font.

I don't know what to do with it.... ... it's is one of a kind, not to say it's rare but ... in some sense it is.

From the moment it came, my instinct was to throw it away, and yet it is still sitting, silent and motionless ( I have yet to open it's golden bordered pages that look like they are from another time period) on my desk. Fuck ... I wish I could just throw it away .....

Ordering my winter semester books online last night/early this morning..... these book prices are fucking ridiculous as it is, but when you are taking 6 classes, and NEED six different over priced books, its no wonder people can't afford to go back to school , JFC. :rant:

    • ~~~~~ Yeah, thank you for the check-in.   Happy to say it was all a misunderstanding.  But she pulled out her "ghetto" and that's when things went South.  I get very professional minded when I enter into situations like that because when someone starts bring the court into conversations, I'm in court 2 times a year, every year, so don't go there with me because I will get legal all over you.   She did try to change what she thought she might have said, but I had to call her on it because it's all in written text.  Then she apologized and we were able to have a decent conversation.   I know I joke about me talking so much that people don't hear what I say except for keywords that they are looking for, but that is exactly what happened here.  She heard "payment", "money" and "help out".  It was crazy.  I literally had to have the entire conversation all over again, but I definitely condensed it to only address those 3 words.   Things are back on track, but I emphasized that if she every needed clarification for anything, please say something first instead of jumping to conclusions, then questioning that conclusion, then answering that conclusion, then getting upset at the answer and taking it out on someone who doesn't have a clue what the San Juan Hill just happened.   But this is exactly the reason I do everything with a paper trail.

    • I'm glad  that yesterday's day at work is long gone now. There was a very strong unusual energy that I felt, and couldn't get done with the day fast enough. It wasn't  the job at all. I just felt like I really needed to keep my mouth shut, to keep me from getting in situation(s) that probably wouldn't have ended well for me.  
    • You can trust anyone you want.  The only question is whether or not they're deserving of that trust. No risk = no reward.  As such you have to let yourself be vulnerable sometimes and realize that all people will let you down eventually whether it's intentional or not.  The frequency that it happens is what's important.
    • Sorry, I don't check this as often as I should. Anyway document everything (although it sounds like @Trene4000already has been from her post.) It's okay to cry and break down, but not in front of them.  Never give them the satisfaction of seeing you crack.  If anything I'd go out of my way to piss them off, but I don't like being that guy either (and as such I'm not very good at it, except sometimes when I'm not intending to be.) I try to only help those whom deserve it, but that's often hard to judge.  Seeing how someone treats other people is a pretty good indicator of whether or not they're worthy.  Sociopathic narcissistic asshats are very much not worthy. I hope things are going well for you guys.
