The last one is the toughest.
...little do they know.
good luck KC - tell them you'll help out AFTER the break - and if your boss gives you any crap, remind him, without you - he'd have a lot MORE to deal with.
you being gone for a few days - might make him realize how important you are.
I shut the darn thing off because it was clogging the network here. Then I left a big sign on it not to turn the thing on until i get back. Lets see them work with one less computer for the week.
my uncle and my dads lawyer have decided that the house should be sold, and I need to get my ass out.
I almost got arrested yesterday, because I flipped out on them all.... took off before the cops could get there.
got a speeding ticket on the way home.
thats besides a few other things that hit the fan today that I cant post about :frown:
I hope you get a cut of the house sale
that soooooo SUCKS!
 :frown: :frown: :frown: :frown: :frown: :frown: :frown: :frown: :frown:
Sorry to hear that...
the money from the sale would come to me.... eventually.
It goes into a trust fund that's set up in my name... I cant get any of it until I turn 40...
If theres a big purchase, like a house, car, etc, I can ask my uncle for money on it.... he can say yes, or no..... whatever he thinks is in the best interest of what my dad wanted done... (i know for a fact that he didnt want the house sold, and wanted it to stay with me, but both my uncle, and the laywer say otherwise)
but I can guarantee that it'll be "no"
I dont know what the fuck we're going to do.
my first instinct, was to just cash it all in, take what I have - put it into storage, and leave town....
screw em all, and be done with it.
basically reminding me that my uncle gets to decide what he wants to do, and doesnt have to answer to anybody....
also states that the lawyer doesnt want to see me in person, unless a whole gang of people are present - her "law practice partner", my mom, my sister, my uncle....
my uncle also doesnt want to see/talk to me until said time occurs (if it ever does)....
.............and good luck
excuse me?
no... my dad had clearly stated that he wanted the house to remain within the family, and hopefully I'd be living here, and raising my own family in the place.
he also thinks that i'm too immature to own a home, and cant keep up with the bills.... which hasnt been the case, and really, doesnt look to be the case....
Eags, I do too.... but it doesnt seem like it will...
surfing apartment sites, right now.. :coolfrown: :chagrin: :neutral:
it would be better im sure to keep. cause if u buy it they will increase the property tax with the sale.
irritate... being so tired my eyes are burning. my flight is delayed 3 hours & i am stuck at the airport.
Only when we are no longer afraid do we begin to live. ~ Dorothy Thompson
You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You must do the thing which you think you cannot do. ~ Eleanor Roosevelt
I am not afraid of tomorrow, for I have seen yesterday and I love today. ~ William Allen White
I did some googling and found the following quotes.
I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.
-- Frank Herbert, Dune. Bene Gesserit Litany Against Fear.
Love takes off masks that we fear we cannot live without and know we cannot live within.
James A. Baldwin
"All of us are born with a set of instinctive fears--of falling, of the dark, of lobsters, of falling on lobsters in the dark, or speaking before a Rotary Club, and of the words "Some Assembly Required."
---- Dave Barry
In energy healing, we learned that fear sits in the solar plexus - the gut. We can meditate, bringing breath (inspiration) to this center, with the intention of saying "no and goodbye" to fearful connections we have with the world, and then replace them with sending as much love as we want, from our heart center, to that person or place or thing which was previously fraught with fear, either because we feared the harm it could bring us, but most often, because we feared losing someone or something very dear. This does not mean we lose what we love because we fear, but rather that fear can rob our hearts and souls of joy. To focus on sending and receiving love at one's heart center can help take away the power of fear.

Sadly, I zonked out in a meeting at work here. Heh.
Oddly enough it's the personal stuff that gets me. The people that kept harping on me to take time off and get a vacation are the same ones acting like I'm ignoring them or worse when I get back from a vacation. Umm.. hello? I just got back from a week off, I'm sorry if I haven't been there to take care of this or that, or just to spend time with you, but I'm trying to recover from all the stuff that didn't get done while I was gone.
Next time someone tells me I need to take time off, I'm going to tell them I can't afford the time it takes to keep them from harping on me.
It is a perpetual stress, and I've never found an effective remedy for dealing with energy-sucking people like that.
I'd sure encourage you to start envisioning your next job and its environment, then - quickly or slowly - start seeking it out and making it happen.
Only after being away from that kind of situation did I fully realize the toll it was taking on me. Workplaces like that give lip service to "balance" in one's life but they do nothing to help it happen.
Good luck, in the meantime, and with whatever you decide to do next!
It's just people I know and usually hang out with. I mean, why bother taking a vacation and going somewhere when all you come home to is people whining about how you haven't gotten something done for them, or how you're ignoring them.
I thought a vacation and time away was a good time for the people you're normally around to have a break from you, and maybe realize what you mean to them.
my friends are the same way.
the saving grace? i have me new soda tereco (sp?) CD playing. its funny. its total mexican rock. i dig it.
also my phone. im on IM plus txting n email . oh yeah and writng this. all at once.
I get in to work and there's a panic about the fax number being disconnected. So my boss tells my coworkers to call me so I can get in here ASAP to take care of it. I swear I'm on call 24 hours a day for that man. Luckily I was correct on my first assumption of the problem, and now I get to play the tech support game for the next few hours where A. My boss calls me every 10 minutes and B. I call the tech support company every 10 minutes between.
Next he'll be telling me to call around and find a cheaper fax service that we can port the fax number to. Why? Because he's cheap, too cheap, and expects 100% quality service from the places he deals with. If he doesn't get it, it's my problem to deal with.
I know, it's my fault though for sticking around this place, what can I expect, things to get better? Not while my boss controls the company.
Jump ship man. I'm sure you'd be much more appreciated at any other company.
I don't know what you're making but I've always said it usually doesn't matter what you're making if you hate your job.
