I had a mostly nice night. Went to Dad's recitial thing, which I thought was going to have socail dancing but didn't. Went with Grandma E, Aunt J, my uncle and his wife. My uncle... I wish I could say "puti! We will speak of him no more!" But I'm stuck with him. Normally I try to spend as little time with him as possible.

Tonight I wanted to crawl into a hole and die. First they picked me up so we could all have dinner and my uncle and his wife are having a disagreement about somethign that involves her (adult) kids and her grandkids. It was very uncomfortable and that stuff should be private. It bleed into the dinner conversation. We ate at my fave Chinese place and my uncle was an ass about that, he didn't like the food or the service and I was wishing I was deaf as Grandma E and didn't have to listen. Some thing changed about plans and my uncle said he had thought about buying tickets, but now the plans had changed and "if I had I would have sent them the bill." Them meaning his wife's kids. He back tracked really quickly "I didn't really mean that."

The recital is at a high school and dad and his siblings used to go there but it's changed and my uncle bitched about that some. The parking wasn't bad at all and we got a spot right in front --- directly across from the steps. The car next to ours was parked so that it took up to spaces. My uncle gets mad "I could have parked in the next spot but some guy has to be a jerk and take two spots." It's one parking spot! One there are 20 open spots next to us. So we get out and then out of the corner of my eye I see my uncle knocking on the car door. And I hear " Excuse me, are you waiting for someone..." in a very loud voice and I about died. Instead I raced ahead because I could not stand there and watch that breach of etiquette. My uncle was mad and he took it out on this stranger and was so freaking rude.

I do not like my uncle at all. He's an ass and a hypocrite and I've gotten very good being at family events and only saying "hello" and "goodbye."

His current wife is wife #3, the other two divorced him. I'm sure that this one will end in divorce as well.

{{askye}} Sorry to hear you had to deal with family trauma. May I suggest some 50 or 60 proof remedy?

{{askye}}

and go , go Nordie's

My uncles are asses too. It sucks, though.

{{askye}} I think we all have one of those in our family. It always sucks.

Thankfully he lives out of town. I so wanted to find out the guy he said something to and apologize.

Although, I did get a flash of "omigod! that's what it was like for people around me when I would get manic and be rude to everyone".

t gets in a preemptive

Why? You'll see in a few minutes.

Well, my day was not quite as interesting as either ChiKat's or Askye's day.

The good news is, I don't have to work tomorrow (Easter Sunday). The bad news is, come Monday, I need to be looking for a new job. After being yelled at over the phone by my boss for 5+minutes, I got to thinking, "I should hang up, I don't need to listen to this." beat. "Better not, hanging up on your boss is unprofessional." beat. "She needs to not be my boss anymore, cuz I'm not taking this."

She was trying to blame me for something she felt I was blaming her for. Except that the situation was not one I am inclined to blame anyone for.

So anyway, after I got sick of her talking over my attempts to soothe her wounded ego, I said, "Ya know what? I don't work here anymore. Good luck finding someone to cover my shift tomorrow."

((( Windy))) that really sucks. Enjoy your Sunday and I'll be sending you lots of jobma next week.
