Work was OK. Easy. Not too long. Music didn't suck.

 

Going home. Hungry... but I really don't want to buy anything in the city. I have food at home.

 

Let me know how the personal-ad scene works out for you, 15...

 

I've always resisted caving in, and I never really wanted to go that route (me and blind dates... eh, not so much...); but it's looking more and more every day like that will ultimately be my only real solution,.. seeing as I can't seem to ever make any woman I happen to come across in flesh-and-blood real-space even so much as acknowledge my existence.

 

If it seems to work out for you, maybe I'll break down and give it a shot. I dunno... Probably not... but we'll see, I guess...

It was a day marked by drama... as if that is what I really need in my life right now. :rolleyes:

 

First: A co-worker and I got into a fairly heated debate over a student-employee recognition award. It was a little silly: she wanted to nominate somebody different than the rest of us decided. Since it's not any super-special type of prize or anything, I was like: "OK... no prob. Nominate them both..."

 

It got a little weird from there. Not sure exactly what I said... but apparently she read something dismissive in what I said.

 

I dunno. I think it's resolved now... but I was baffled by her reaction to what I felt was a fairly straight-ahead statement.

 

Then I got home to face more unpleasantness from my mom.

 

Due to my grumbling the last couple of days to constantly having to clean the house after this cat; the huge amount of effort I put in on Sunday (my only real full day off this week); and all the little things that have been going wrong and picking away at my patience... she freaked out and started saying how after we unload this cat, she's going to move out and I can have the place all to myself to do whatever I want, but she's sick of me blaming her for all of it.

 

This was all due to some little thing I said in passing while I was trying desperately to get out of the door to work this morning, while she kept calling me every couple of minutes, wanting to discuss changing all the litter boxes and the brand of litter... yet again. (I was in a rush, and said something like that I was done thinking about this cat and litter, and she can do whatever she wants, but I just really don't care, since I don't think it's ever going to matter.)

 

*Sigh*

 

Just when you think things can't get emotionally worse...

A serious guilt trip, the way only a mother can lay it on.

 

We talked it over for a long time. I really think she wants to keep the cat no matter what. I don't wish to see her move out... but I'm kinda at the end of my rope about a lot of things, and I can feel it fraying... It's hard to keep that level of frustration with things from showing.

 

But the short of it is: I think I might just have to live with it and keep my mouth shut from this point on. I may have to re-arrange my existence for this animal to keep peace in the family.

 

As it is: I have jury rigged gates on the stairs up and down, so the cat can't get to any of my room. It severely restricts and hampers my movement around the house, and I feel like a prisoner in my own home... but so far it has worked at keeping the cat from getting to my floors.

 

I told her of all my frustrations that have been making me short-tempered of late... not only with the cat and the house... but also with my total lack of a personal life, and all the failures in my attempts and abilities to resolve that problem so far.

 

I'm not sure if we worked it out quite as good yet.

 

That was something that took me by surprise, and sure as hell wasn't something I wanted to deal with right now, on top of all the other crap I'm dealing with.

 

Damn...

Yeah, well... we'll see.

 

I have an old friend coming in from out of town Saturday... maybe that will be my day to forget it all and get loose and wild for 24 hours... or something.

 

I just wish things would just go easy on me for a change. Does every day have to be this epic struggle just to get through it all the time?

 

Or,.. barring that:

 

I wish that I could be one of those people who could just smile and laugh at it all and let it all roll off my back.

 

But that doesn't seem to be the case either. I'm actually trying to be... striving to be... but progress in that direction is slow. Slower than I wish, anyway. Too slow to keep up with current events on the ground, anyways.

 

Something struck me last night:

 

It's been just a little over 2 years to the day since the last major episode of darkness in my life (boss quitting; cat dying; everything else going to hell...)

 

Maybe it's cyclical. Perhaps every couple of years crap like this just has to drop on me all at once and pile up to keep me in perspective. Intellectually: I know I'll get past this, and I'll probably be a whole lot better, character-wise anyhow, once I break though to the other side... but the journey to that point is never a lot of fun.

 

Bear with me folks. I know I'm probably not a lot of fun right now...

 

 

 

The really weird thing is: my current boss, who I share my office with, is having the best time in his life right now. Things are just going so well for him, and he's walking around beaming and happy all day.

 

It kind of reminds me of that Seinfeld episode where if things go well for George, things have to go badly for Elaine, and vice-versa.

 

Maybe right now I'm on the low side of the Karmic scales, just balancing out my boss, who is at the high point.

 

Hmmm...

Or perhaps in this case it's the Kramic scale :joy:

 

You know, because...Seinfeld.

 

Kramer was on that show.

 

I'm so unfunny :(

I'd like to see the Cubs win. :)

 

Work was easy. We did this show before, a couple of months ago.

 

That's the nice thing about digital gear: as long as you plug everything back where it belongs, you have perfect total recall. No extended soundcheck... no futzing for hours to dial in sounds.... Just press one button and *Bing* you are back to exactly the way you left it all those weeks ago.

 

It was just about the quickest setup I've ever done. Made a few tweaks on things I wasn't happy with last time, but never so much as thought about breaking a sweat.

 

Show went well. Short. Always a plus.

 

I have a few things to wrap up here before I can head home for the weekend... and truth be told: I'm kinda avoiding heading home until I can be fairly sure mom is already asleep. Not that I think there'd be a confrontation again... but I just don't want to take any chances either right now.

 

Meeting some friends at noon tomorrow. Promises to be a good time. I'm damn sure as hell hoping it is... I'm really due for something to lift me out of this funk.
