Apparently he hasn't even called to see if I could be transferred, and lost his damn phone. Granted, that can't really stop him from calling, because his office is next to my dad's, and there's an office phone in all three offices in the detail building.

I should just move to Colorado and be a pot farmer.

Oh, wait, that's on the ballot here in Arkansas...

This is one of those need-to-vent repeatedly things.

Sunday, my sister-in-law asked me for a conversation in private, to ask me if she was right to feel worried because my brother had been acting suspicious, which led her to logging into his Facebook account and checking his messages.

She's bisexual, and he claimed that one of the girls he'd talked to, he was trying to set her up with his wife. Problem is, it seemed like he was trying to also get a chance to sleep with this woman first.

Then, today, she sent me his login info to see for myself, as a witness. This time, it was a different woman, and he had forwarded to this other woman pictures his wife sent him that were supposed to be for his eyes only. And he'd also intended to get this woman to get a motel room for him to have a little fun with her before letting her get with his wife in a threesome.

Apparently she came to me about it because she felt she could trust me, and had no one else to tell without it becoming a bigger mess.

She just told him a little while ago, but he doesn't yet know that I know about it.

How can it be so damn difficult to stay faithful? Granted, I literally have no sex life, but it can't be that difficult to not cheat on someone when you have the sort of sex life they told me they have. Well, when the kids aren't making it difficult to have alone time, anyway, but you work around it.

If it's an open relationship (polyamory), and there's open communication between all partners, it's nothing to worry about. If there isn't open communication, then there's still nothing to worry about as it's an issue between the partners involved. If one of them asks you, specifically, for advice, then give them your opinion - and remind them that it is merely your opinion.

--Mind you, this is merely my opinion. :P

Well, she did ask for my opinion, and I did give it to her. In her position, I'd have been a bit less calm about.

They'd told me more than once that if they ever included another person, then it would be someone they both trusted, but not someone who is a complete stranger to one or both of them.

So, I tried to get a job at the Remington munitions plant, but because their mobile website has no button to go to the full website, which would be more reliable, and I'm out of high speed data for the month, half of the site wouldn't load, and it would say it was finished loading.

Because of this, I couldn't see any links about applying for a job. I could also go through a staffing agency, but those generally do not work in the time frame I need. The last time I went through one, they took months to set up something. I only have enough money to pay next month's bills.

I also tried calling this gunsmith shop to see about becoming an apprentice, but it would ring twice, go silent, and then it would say call ended. At no time did it say anything about the call going through. Just "dialing..." and "Call ended," and then I looked at the only Yelp review of the place, which gave it one star, and I don't think I should work for someone who takes several months to work on someone's rifle, then later tells that customer that if they don't pick up their pistol, it's getting sold. That's right, they couldn't even figure out who had what firearm.

So, tomorrow, I'm gonna check with some other dealerships and see if they have any openings for anything besides sales. I'll let them know I have some experience in detail, so I'll start there.

Roffel House!

First thing I'd like to say: I AM SO SORRY I'VE DISAPPEARED! These last two weeks have been absolutely insane, so in a lame apology to the folks here for not posting for nearly 3 weeks I'd like to at least explain what's been going on.

We were kicked out of our building for renovations this summer. Three weeks ago, they were starting to finish up, so I had to direct contractors where to put equipment and how the classrooms needed to be. In the meantime, we're assembling and moving new furniture and trying to assess what was damaged in storage.

Classes started Wednesday last week. Not only were we moving into the building, but we had full day meetings the previous Thursday, Friday, and then Monday and Tuesday. I moved my stuff into my office on Saturday... against the rules, because I knew the college wasn't going to give me any time to actually prepare for anything with all those fricken meetings. The doors on the building didn't work yet, so I had to secretly prop a door open on Friday.

They installed the classroom computers on Tuesday afternoon. I had no time to test anything before classes actually started. One old computer has a hard drive on the verge of failure... it locks up with Microsoft Office, which is pretty bad. We had no printer or copier in the building... I had to walk a quarter of a mile to the next building over to prep all my class materials.

I'm teaching 3 classes, which includes 12 hours of lab a week and 11 hours of lecture. My other time is spent frantically getting materials together, and moving equipment out of storage and into where it needs to be so we actually can do labs this week.

Then this past weekend I was in training to be a new hunter education instructor for the state of Georgia. That's cool and I'm happy to be a volunteer, but it was just another sap on my time when things are already insane. I teach my first course on September 3rd.

And then today I was in my kayak on our campus lake trying to catch an emaciated anhinga with a fishing lure stuck in its beak. Poor thing can't eat. Didn't manage to catch it, yet another higher ranking faculty just had to come over and warn me about all the "dangerous alligators in the lake" that would almost certainly flip my kayak over an eat me. I assist with the management of this lake and I'm there every day... there are no fricken alligators anywhere on campus.

Long story short, I am so, SO sorry! I'm going to try to get a half day off tomorrow so I can catch up on RE and other chores around the house.

Damn... Sounds like we need to sit you in a recliner, in front of a TV with a decent movie playing, and some ice cream. Possibly some alcohol, too, but I don't know what you'd drink.

As of last week, I've beem on medical work leave. It is indefinite until I get cleared by a doctor. A prior work injury in my pelvis was aggrivated by the truck's seat. I had warned everyone I could that the Freightliner Cascadia would wreck me, an so it did. Recently, I graduated from Hobbling Geriatric to Lame Horse. Can't walk too quickly, and bending is a chore. It is sore right now.

This has impacted my mood to do much of anything. I want to thank folks in advance for your patience. I hope to get a post up soon. Unfortunately, ot cannot be a quick one as a lot suddenly happened in Eclipse. I haven't forgotten about it. Merely seems a bit daunting between my mood and an uncomfortable back and pelvis. :(

So, right as my brother is about to start a job so he can finally pay his ex the child support he owes for the time between their divorce and her remarriage...

She has him arrested for not paying it. I have a feeling our family will have to put together the money to help him, because apparently, they can keep him in jail until it's paid.

Shit like this is why I'm glad I can't get into a relationship. Of course, situations like these are a good part of the reason I don't.
