Echoes From The Hole
|
Echoes From The Hole My day didn't start out well at all. . . .and the morning kinda went downhill from THERE. Rain, fog, gusty winds all set the stage for a suck-event here. My thing upon rising and heading downstairs is to a few people to wish them a nice day, start my day off on a positive note. Well, recently I was 'asked' to invest $600 in a so-called friend's higher education, and, being a Nice Guy/Knight Errant, I told her I'd look into the possibility of taking out a personal loan, which she'd be responsible for paying. . .but NO this was going to be a gift on MY part! I then informed that erstwhile amiga there was no way I was going to pay that much for the higher education for a person who was, basically, just words on a screen with the very rare picture. No word since, and contact attempts were rebuffed. ANY 'friendship' you have to BUY isn't worthwhile, is it? On the other hand, there's a Man close to my age, living a bit over an hour away by car, who chats with me constantly every day, gives me emotional/moral support, and whom I will be visiting this weekend. He's not asked for a penny from me, but I'm bringing him a special gift which I know he can actually USE, when we spend Saturday together. I'm spending the night, and leaving for home early Sunday morning to beat the horrendous traffic heading onto Cape Cod this time of year. If this works out the way we both HOPE it will, there will be a LOT of get togethers, to include my wife (she knows about him) sometimes as our relationship grows. His name isn't important. He reads my blogs religiously, and will certainly recognize whom I'm talking about. For the first time in my LIFE, I'm loving another Man!!!!! Scary, but it's just Time. We BOTH understand this, I fervently believe. At work, we're NOT supposed to help our into or out of our vans, but most of we drivers do this because the staff and the houseparents of these people don't seem to want to do their jobs, most especially when the weather conditions aren't pristine. Today, I was assisting one of my who has great difficulty getting into and out of my van, with the staff standing there watching, not fifty feet away. Apparently word of my hearing loss has gotten around at work because I heard a couple of them muttering that they thought I was a Nice Guy and I'd always do their work in addition to my own! I heard every freaking WORD of this exchange, so, when D was safely unloaded, I slammed the doors, got into Buff (my van; I name everything!), and LOUDLY played Johnny Paycheck's anthem; 'TAKE THIS JOB AND SHOVE IT!' on my phone as I drove a short distance away to do paperwork, and<b> park </font></b>said vehicle before heading home. This song was accompanied by the One-Finger Salute directed right at those REMFs. REMFs are 'Rear Echelon Mother Fuckers' a term from my seventeen years in the military I use to describe the staff at our center, along with anybody ELSE who stands there while the Workers do their tasks. Anyway, the rain's stopped here, hopefully for the day, the sun's doing its level best to make an appearance, and life seems fairly decent again. Bad days tend to work like that, IMHO. And Life rolls ever onward!  |

That's just a generic picture I found online to illustrate my point. Thanks for your continuing emotional support!
