A Response To Bumps in the Road

Posted on | October 20, 2004 | 3 Comments

My ass, chapped by events during the course of yesterday’s trials, throbs still from the kick it received.

This is honesty and hurt. I thought it best to give you fair warning.

Bouncy Bouncy
My Chief Financial Officer has been re-hired. Budgets have been balanced, allowing our corporation to see where the pitfalls from “assumptive” spending lie. The wonderful thing about Macs is that they make it fun to work with a budget. So, this weeks’ financial losses will not errode heavily into next week’s projections. I hate money.

Kumpewters
When it comes to computers, specifically hardware and network issues, I am not certified, but I know what I’m doing. That being said, the immpossibilities in accessing the network remotely should have been understood. But the redneck-techs painted me into a corner. I was told that “You need to take care of this”. No please. No thank you. The tone gruff and my experience questioned, I huffed off to my desk and solved the problem alone. The issue comes in incoherant articulation. If you don’t tell me the specificites of the problem, then I can’t fix them, now can I? If everyone were a little more educated on the ways of computers, it would make my basic tech support more effective. And perhaps they would understand that synching with a drive is not accessing it. And just because there is an internet explorer icon on their desk top does not mean they can access the internet (the guys are blocked). They all cried “But why do you get the internet?” My answer? “Because I know what I’m doing.”
The End.

Communication Interruptus
Now the thing that really set my hemorrhoids on fire.
There comes a time in both relationships and friendships where the importance of communication is tested. Where we have to look past our own jaded, colored view of events and try to see things as clearly as possible. This new line of sight will propel us directly into the image of our own flaws; things that mar the perfection of our surface, but which also hold their own beauty. We are as much our flaws as you are our greatest attributes.

While I allow the molten glass of my emotions to cool to shimmering warmth, I feel you need to be shown the untruth in your words. As I stated before, you are wrong.
That you would assume that the way you would find out through this site is insanity, and apparently speaks volumes as to the width and breadth of our friendship. I only posted it here after making all the calls save two, but I shouldn’t have to justify myself, really. This isn’t about me. It’s about you, your view of your disenfranchised friendships, and the moment when we all realize that things are different.

I have been proud of your progress, but also disheartened. I have known you for too long not to recognize a pattern that formed without purposeful intention. You rise up, and eventually discard those who cheered the loudest for you. I will put it plainly, it seems at times as if you flock to my door in lonely weather but fly freely when the sun of fortune shines upon your face.

But that’ just the way I feel. The river of discontent flows both ways. Perhaps something should be done about this.

Forward Thoughts
I have been looking for a ring. Two actually. I want something unusual, with no stones. Less than 1K a piece. I want something D will acually wear (he’s not fond of jewelery). So I am on the mad hunt for seomthing cool. If you find something that is not yellow gold, not 3K, and is simple in design then let me know.
In my mind I have been making out our guest list. It’s very short. But perhaps that is best. I don’t want to waste that moment with people who don’t care about it. Besides, we are both working students. It’s not like we are going to have 10K to put a wedding together! But that is still a year-ish away. I want to get married on Halloween, but next year its on a Monday. I don’t think that is a celebration I want to shift with my a whim. I have always held that day sacred, so it should remain so, even at the inconveniance to those around us. Maybe we can marry on Halloween and party the weekend following. Who knows.

I have been swinging from manic to despair and back again. Please pardon my severly antisocial tendencies. I am feel like I need to heal something. I’m not crazy (no more than normal, anyway). I just think I need to recoup with the beagles and some silence and solace. If you want my company this weekend I can be found on the porch, with coffee and a smoke. No drinking. I will have my laptop on the porch with me, probably playing Diablo II since I only have one midterm remaining, and listening to the sounds of two dogs sniffing. It should end up a pretty satisfying time.

    I will start looking immediately for some totally fabulous, yet moderately priced ring that you and your hubby can both live with and love.
    you might also want to think about both of you designing a ring for the other, its simple to get done and they mean that much more when you exchange rings. Because you know that he made it with you in mind, and vise versa. but that is just how i would feel about something like that.
