What's everyone up to right now?
|
Just realised I will be 48 in exactly two months. No job, no partner, no kids, no actual thing that other people my age take for granted. Go me.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
It's official. I no longer have a friend in the whole world. Literally everyone has blocked my number. If anything was to happen, nobody would know about it because they made it that way. Fuck the lot of you.

had a nice chat with a relative 'in the know' about some family history and am up to speed on some mysteries in the family closet
Yes, one of my cousins had a baby in the 60s, sans marriage. I had already figured that out. What I didn't know was the kid was a healthy girl and adopted by a couple I knew from town. As for repercussions, probably best outcome for the kid, my cuz was pretty young, marriage to the guy wasn't an option, and the 'family' absolutely positively was not going to let her raise her daughter as a single mother period. This was pre Roe v Wade too, so that wasn't going to come up either. Kid definitely wasn't fathered by guy she eventually married, either. And, yeah, he knows all about this. And then my angle, my cuz is a pretty bad alcoholic. She's never had much luck with rehab, so her husband's solution is constant supervision. She leads her life under continuous intervention by family. She works at her husbands business, they ride to and from work together, staff is aware of situation and under pain of apparently literal death, they cooperate with The Plan. Now, is her status worse from what happened in the 60s? Yeah probably, but she married someone with the strength of will to make things work out the way they did. I'm aware of non 12 Stepper 'authorized' recoveries, and this actually isn't the only 'continuous supervision' case I'm aware of. Any port in a storm I guess. The one big thing I don't know is if her subsequent kids know about their older 1/2 sister. I'm assuming they don't, just since my life will be easier that way. BTW, she's not abused beyond being denied access to alcohol 24/7/365, and there have been some memorable slips, usually family gatherings when she manages to snag a beverage she shouldn't. I consider her hubby a saint, not sure I would put up with that kind of involvement to keep someone from drinking themselves to death, but the situation has persisted for decades, and who am I to squawk ? The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

I'm watching a motivating clip from Hook (1991), which is bringing me back to my childhood.
Having come to the end of my rope with a CEO I neither like nor respect, I have given my notice and have accepted a position with a rival company with somewhat better terms than I currently "enjoy". I'll start my new job later this month after I take some time to visit family.
It's a good move, and I'm excited (well, as excited as I get about unexciting things).

I don't believe you. Get over it.

LOL!!
Have a 6 pound Costco lasagna in the oven. Not having company, no, just want a heap of left overs so I don't have to cook much for a while. Not too warm out this AM so running the stove. The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
