So, there’s a lot going on right now. More than I think to expect in 2010. Nick needs minor surgery, our site at work is being dismantled and turned into something else (closest analogy: we were pastry chefs and now they are turning us into auto mechanics) and I am looking for another job.
The Nick thing I will talk about once it’s all done.
The work thing, there’s nothing really to talk about. Only that the big bank I work for took a successful and profitable part of their profit margin and instead is turning into another sector. The end result should be the same: help keep people in their homes. While I’m all for helping and being a team player, I can’t say that I’m welcoming this. Because professionally, it’s a step backwards. Which is even ludicrous to begin with as this is not my profession. It’s something that I’ve been doing to pay the bills to be able to afford going back to school. But, it’s what I’ve been doing for six years so … bah! Anyway, that’s that.
And, with all of this going on Saturday was Blaze’s birthday. The little fucker turned 8. The vet(s) said that he wasn’t going to live pass seven, so go lil fucker! Saturday we took him out for a little but Sunday was when we’d planned to do something with him all day. Sunday rolls around and as per the usual, I checked Facebook and came upon this picture.
I have to explain what’s going on here. The man to the far left’s the sperm donor that created me, the kid, I don’t know and the girl to the right is my father’s cousin’s kid. It apparently was her birthday but she always dresses like a whore, so really it doesn’t matter. I saw this picture and the comment below it and I freaked out internally. Blaze was barking to go, Nick was calling me to go and I’m like “wtf”. First, sperm donor was giving a “speech” and from his clothes and general disarray, I could tell he was completely soused. Fucker didn’t even give a speech at my WEDDING. But here he is giving a speech at whore’s birthday. I think it was her 17th or something. Anyway, it was the comment that really set me off. Another one of his cousin’s kid is commenter #2 and by her reference of “that man”, I was like … oh no dumb bitch.
A. he’s not “that man”
B. you’re a stupid, uneducated cunt
So I put my own comment to tell her to respect her elders and that he’s not just “that man” and to remove the picture. They haven’t. The thing that gets me about this, aside from all of the above, is that commenter #2 and girl with birthday’s grandmother is and has always gone on and on about how bad me and my sister was. How we disrespected the family and were evil little shits.
But I have to say, I never dressed like a whore and I always respected people (even though I thought them ignorant and dumb). And my sister may have done a few things that were not on the right path but we always had respect for people.
Whew.
Ok, enough of that shit. In the meantime, my life has been a series of YouTube videos and about 1500 Freecell games. I don’t have the mental energy for anything else and can only think of plotting my next move.
