Update

So I am dog tired, spent all day working on a WIFI install.  Back tomorrow to finish up, should be an easy day!  Thursday another install and hopefully we finish in a day.  Friday I think I am going back to the office for rest.  Office on Monday and then Tuesday back into the field doing another WIFI install.  Might have to spend the night or make a 2nd trip depending upon how things go.  It’s that place that is 90 miles from home.  Sort of like driving for pie but 2 days in a row – that is a little much, even for me.  Ah, well we shall see.

So on the job front the owners look at Saturday that I made a mistake, never mind that the crazy bastard clicked on Shutdown that was still my fault.  They think that I spend too much time talking with co-workers and that gives them the perception that I have too much time on my hands and I am not doing my job.  Well, they don’t take into consideration that you have to collaborate with others in order to do your job.  No man is an island!  Anyway, the long and short of it is I’ve been told my job is safe.  Considering how I got the information I trust it because it came from one of the owners through a 3rd party.  I will do my best to appease them and stay in my office unless I have to go the bathroom or someone has a computer issue or question.  I’ve got plenty to keep me busy, trust me. 

I am still keeping my eyes wide open for a new opportunity.  If I find it well then I will jump.  Until that time I am staying put.  It’s kind of up to God if it’s time for me to move yet.  No matter my efforts if it’s not HIS will then it will NOT happen, no matter what I do.  I firmly believe that.  The final thing I learned is that they are very disappointed that I am not going on the “trip” they do every year.  They want me to socialize more but outside of the office.  Well it’s not like anyone is chatting me up and I fucking hate those people so why would I talk with them?  They are co-workers and I shouldn’t be required to socialize with them.  No other job mandated that.  Furthermore, the owners are deathly afraid that I will bring legal action against them.  I’m told I don’t have cause to bring a case.  Plus I wouldn’t dream of suing my present employer while I was still employed, I would wait until we separated then file a suit, provided I had a case. 

On the personal side my Real Estate Attorney has a conflict of interest with the mortgage company.  So he referred me to several outside attorneys.  I also got a referral from a legislator to an attorney that deals with us gays.  It’s an off the record referral.  I called that attorney on Friday and was promised a call back on Monday, but that never happened.  I am calling the Legal plan tomorrow asking if they can help me or if they can refer me to an outside attorney.  See this way it shouldn’t cost me anything and if I do have to pay then it will be a reduced rate.  I need an attorney to challenge these bastards and get them to see the light and work with me.  I am doing my very best but it’s only a matter of time before my best won’t be possible.  The sooner they realize that the better. 

The funny thing about all of this is the Real Estate Attorney wants me to keep him in the loop and get a separate case opened so that he can bill the legal plan.  Yeah, not going to happen.  If I can’t use you due to a conflict then I can’t use you.  There is no point in you making money from the plan if you can’t help me.  I still have a case open for the Estate and plan to keep it open until that is settled.  However, that could be a while since I have to deal with the damn mortgage company.

Life is so complicated when it could be so simple.  I wish, hope and pray that this all works out by the end of this year.  I don’t know that I can enter a new year with the same left over burdens of this year.  It’s bad enough that his birthday will be late next month.  It’s on a Sunday so at least I will be home and off work.

Right now I am going to review some porn, pass out medicine to the kids, prepare for tomorrow and ice my feet they effing hurt like crazy.  Standing for the better part of the day doesn’t help, when they are used to sitting at a desk for most of the day.  You know except when I am having a fireside chat with a co-worker.  :)

Thank you God for working this out.  I pray that my income is safe and not interrupted in any way shape or form.  Talk with you peeps later.

This will probably be the most challenging year you'll ever have. Like I said, you need a break!

Good to know your job is safe, and while it is maybe God will bring a new and better opportunity to you.
