Can I please state for the official record - esp to my entire family both original and acquired - That I do not function well if I wake up before 7am. I never have. I do not get mad that you are awake and fully functioning. In fact, I am vaguely envious. So please learn that short, terse sentences do not mean I am grumpy , or cranky, or mad. It is just all I can manage. And yes, sometimes I am ok by 8. But not always.

end trans.

Thanks all.

vw - glad you are feeling better.

Congrats Daniel.

While not aimed at me, I'm listening/reading all the divorce advice and am filing it away for another day.

I'm very sorry, Gud.

Gud-- I can only echo everyone's advice. It mnay be hard to believe now, but there is a better life waiting for you. The weight of constantly failing someone's expectations is heavier than you will ever know while you are living under it, and once the painful process of getting free of it is over you WILL feel better.

And this.

Fuck. I'm actually really REALLY worried.

And now I'm concerned for Steph too.

She went on and on about how often I see the "shrink" then told me that my cough was all in my head. Apparently, I can psychologically decide to turn it off.

Ugh. Saints preserve us from doctors with an agenda.

I just got a phone call. I've got a job with the company I interviewed with twice. It's $8K/year more than the last place that I worked, but it does involve an hour drive each way. Office casual, so I have to wear my nicer clothes.

Excellent news!

Huh. Pamela Anderson is talking on my radio. What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?

While not aimed at me, I'm listening/reading all the divorce advice and am filing it away for another day.

I'm not liking the sound of that. Is there need of punctuation?

Congrats, Daniel!

and even though I didn't say anything - I 've been sending the health ma~~ out to Steph's dad since I saw her post.

There may not be justice in the world, but sometimes evil gets fucked over proper.

or, as I like the scream "KARMA, BITCHES!!!!!!!!"

Gud - it ain't bad, but it ain't good. I mentally stepped away a long time ago, but have not been able to do the divorce thing for my own reasons. But I have a feeling it will happen eventually. There is just TOO much else going on to contemplate adding anything more.

Sorry, MG.

MG, I hope things are okay with you too.

And oh yeah, I forgot to comment on the rocking good news that KB's fuckhead employer is about to find out why not to mess with a Bitch.
