The funny thing about relationships is that they only work when they are balanced. Check out a site called Pravsworld...there is a really great poster about this. Last night the conversation turned to getting prepared for our "vacation". It is up to me to load everything possible in/on my car including the yaks. It was suggested that someone (her) would/could call the tick to come help. This was immediately followed with I should call as it would be taken more seriously from me than her. Why didn't she just come out and say I should call to make the arrangements? Instead I get this crap of we should do this, you go do it. Does anyone else have to deal with this sort of crap? I for one am getting fed up with the convoluted manipulation B/S.
The trip has turned into pretty much what I knew it would and it has not even begun. Now I get to deal with the tick's elder sibling who is an alcohol sodden druggie who only calls when they need money. On top of this I find out that the tick's significant other may be joining us as well. To put the icing on the cake, the later two will be riding with us while I'm sure the former will need to be collected at the nearest airport. Put all of this together with twenty some odd people share one cabin for a week. I think I would rather travel to a third world country to get a trans-rectal root canal done by a blind dentist. Is there anyone out there volunteering to take my place...anyone? I thought so...you bunch of cowards!
I only need to survive for one week which I will do. You simply need to turn off the caring, let the crap hit the fan and make sure it's pointed at someone else. Life is sooooo much easier to deal with when you choose not to care about things so much. The Pope's minion sent out a message about accepting things as they are instead of how we want them. So with that in mind I choose to let things go to shit, sit back and let someone else have to get up and deal with it. It's NOT my problem! The problem arrises when too many people attempt to get to the end of the rainbow all at once. Everyone elbowing, pushing, shoving and fighting over trivial crap that means little or nothing in the end.
Hang on a moment...had to get more coffee. As I was up at four something this morning, saving more lives...HA HA. I will not miss the shithole of a mine for one minute. Interesting enough, more and more of my coworkers are quietly making plans to leave as well. At some point in the near future the only ones left to do any work will be the newbies, management and crickets. I guess they should invest in the complete volume of "Healthcare for Dummies" books. But fear not my quivering friends, the gubment has a plan to save healthcare and us. This from the same group who passed and signed an amendment exempting themselves out of our wonderful new and improved gubment sponsored healthcare initiative.
Well time to go, I've ten hours and a drive to go before I sleep.
