What a week

Greetings one and all,

Work has been slow, I have tons of free time and lounged away.  It does make for longer days and yes there were things I could have done, but I chose to coast.  I’ve been going full bore for over six months and it’s time to come up for air. 

The dummy made more mistakes this week, I know that probably won’t come as a surprise.  He actually had the balls to call me and try to argue when I called him out.  It’s not a debate dude, just do better next time and for God’s sake get your head out of your ass.  I still say his days are numbered because he keeps making the same mistakes over and over again.

The best part of the week is when one of the doors stopped working.  The reader was just stone cold dead, it would beep if you put your card up to it but nothing happened.  I got to call for repair and they sent the same hot and hunky guy out to fix it.  I saw him over the summer.  Fuck he was even hotter this time.  He got on his knees to work on the door and well my head went to sex instantly.  I chatted him up and then got depressed, he’s got a girlfriend.  He also thought I was married, I didn’t say I was or wasn’t.  I did get a nice look at dat ass and it was super fine.  He would have been perfect, only 10 years younger than me.  Where is my prince charming and what the fuck is he doing now? 

I met my brother today at the bank, of course he came with the bimbo.  He can’t go anywhere without her, I don’t know how me makes it to work by himself.  Fuck leave her at home once and a while.  Anyway, we got our money and it was way more than either of us anticipated.  Turns out there were multiple savings accounts.  The bimbo peeked her head over the counter and she said there are like 8 accounts.  Yeah, no you ditz there are a total of 4 accounts the lady wrote down the balances and that’s when I got out my phone and started calculating.  I wish that I would have gotten all of it but we agreed to split it 50 – 50, which is fair and what is right.  I did get to talk with him without her and that was nice for the short time we chatted. 

When he went to settle up with the nursing home they didn’t pro-rate the bill like they should have.  He tried to explain it to the lady but they wanted a full months rent.  This is the one time he should have had someone with him and of course that’s when he elected to leave her at home.  He paid them rather than debate the issue.  I got a letter ready and just needed some basic information, I am sure I could easily compel them with my fancy word smiting skills to fork over what little bit they owe him.  It’s deceptive and fraudulent.  He on the other hand doesn’t want to fight and is willing to lose his money, which is actually our money.  Well that is unusual but I can’t make him do anything.  I don’t want to overstep so it is what it is. 

I did find a Western Union Settlement, where the USDOJ sued Western Union saying that it failed to protect consumers from wiring money for scams, like the one mom fell for.  I filed a claim for that, they have paid her some money in the past so that will reduce whatever it is we get but getting something is way better than getting nothing.  The bad part is that it can take up to a year to process a claim.  This was just announced this week and I found it when I was passing time at work on social media.  I was over joyed.  I don’t expect much out of it, even if we get nothing that is better than not trying at all. 

I am waiting to hear about the other account she had with a credit union, I mailed that paperwork off this morning.  Again getting nothing is better than not trying at all.  I know mom was poor as a church mouse and spent every fucking penny she ever came across.  She had to have forgotten about the savings accounts that she opened or she would have spent that money a long time ago. 

Tonight I put the finishing touches on my holiday letter.  I have 10 of them to mail and they won’t go in the system until Wednesday night.  Thursday is Thanksgiving so Friday they will be on their way.  I always mail holiday cards/letters the day before Thanksgiving.  I decided to reach out to the convict, I don’t know if this will cause him to get in touch with me but after all we (me and my late partner) did for him I feel as if he owes me.  All I really want is friendship.  It’s been 4 years since we talked and it’s time to break the silence.  I will be making the first move and he is going to make the second move.  It will either be positive or negative, that is entirely up to him.

So, Wednesday of this week I became an ordained minister.  For real.  I can do weddings and funerals.  The ordination is free, if you want the official documents that is what costs.  They got me for around $60 but this is a lifetime thing and unless I actually go to marry someone in another state I won’t ever need a thing from them.  There are no on going or recurring fees, which is what made it even more attractive.  I told my brother but damn I sure hope he doesn’t marry that bitch. 

I went to the dentist today and was really surprised to hear that my dentist sold her practice.  Her and her husband were in business together and this is an exit strategy for him.  She will be sticking around but next year he should be retiring.  So they are owned by a small corporation.  She used to write off the $2 and $4 balances that I would have, now the corporation will be doing the billing and they will want their money so I was told expect a bill.  I am really not happy about their business move but I totally understand that it made sense for them and they likely got money for turning over the practice so that made it even more attractive.  I just don’t want to lose my dentist, it took a long time to find her and I want to keep her for as long as possible.  It’s about an hours drive and people tell me I am crazy but hell I’ll drive a couple hours for pie, why not drive an hour for a dentist.  It’s all about who your comfortable with.  Corporations are taking over all aspects of health care which puts bean counters in control and takes the doctors out of control.  That is the part I am not crazy about.  Welcome to the fast food of health care in the US. 

Well the clock just struck midnight and momma is yelling at me so I am going to publish this and watch some TV.  Hopefully, I will fall asleep.  I have a few things on the list for tomorrow.  Hope all is well in your world.  Stay warm!
