i always say i hate being right about this kind of thing. and i really do. but sometimes, honestly, i have to laugh for the regularity with which it happens.
my ex-employer has gone under. as expected. as predicted. as i said they would if they didn’t change things.
it’s annoying, really. to see people ignore you because they can’t stand that you can see something they cannot. to have them deride and antagonize you for it as if, somehow, their inability indicated you are in error.
i have often tried to explain how it is that i can see some manner of things so clearly. it never works. the things that underlie the ability and are core to it are not things that fit well into words. it’s like trying to explain instinct and the more you try once it is obvious that you’re not being understood, the worse it all gets.
anyway. they’ve gone under. actually, they went faster than i thought they would. kind of sad, really. i liked the old guy who was ‘the money’…. and i always had the feeling that the two “running things” were most often keeping him out of the loop more than in it.
ah well.
not much else to report today. i’m working from home thanks to an unusually rich meal while my daughter was here that has resulted in intestinal armaggeddon. hopefully, i’ll be in better shape tomorrow as i am under promise to the local Holly Springs police department to have my tag and title processed. there’s a story in this. i’ll tell it.
i got pulled over (again) the day i got my driver’s license. the officer wanted to know when i moved into the state. the reason he wanted to know was because the law requires you have all paperwork completed within 60 days.
i explained i had just gotten my license and was going to get my tags and title the next payday. i specifically did not answer his question about when i moved here. fortunately, he was sidetracked by the details and “let me off with a warning”… but made it clear he was in the area and that if he saw me about without an NC tag after the mentioned date (tomorrow, by the way) that he’d ticket me and impound the truck.
so. i have to go.
i get annoyed at cops who have nothing better to do than harass people with out of state plates. but in all frankness, i’ve been here since december and am long over-due. i simply haven’t had the funds to manage it until now, let alone the ability to take the time off to do so.
well, no, honestly, i still cannot afford to take the time off as any hour i do not work, i do not get paid. but since the cost of ticketing and impound isn’t going to help matters, i’m biting the bullet and losing the hours just to get it handled.
in other news…. my roomie is out of town on a week long vacation. i must admit, i am thoroughly enjoying the QUIET. he called last night and i thought he might be calling to ask how the dog was… but no… his question was, ‘Are you enjoying the quiet?’ hah. well, we have established that he knows i prefer quiet. so no more excuses for his intrusions into my quiet!
not much else to say. a beautiful day, less hot or humid than it’s been of late. i’ll be having a light vegetable dinner tonight in hopes of keeping it down and making my intestines happier. wish me luck.
