Thanks for the encouragement guys.

Interviews went well. At least 2 of them. 1 I had to cut short because it was not really the right opportunity for me as far as pay and responsibility. It was more of an entry level sales position. I basically got offered one of the jobs, but I really have to think about whether I want to pursue it. It is an inside sales job and I have been doing outside sales for the last 4 1/2 years. Not sure if I want to go back to doing inside. It also doesn't quite have the earning potential I am looking for, but it does give me an opportunity to break into medical sales which could be worth the temporary step down in pay. There is advancement opportunity to an outside position with greater earning potential, but more often than not, that comes with relocation. I don't need to say too much about that. It is intriguing as far as a chance to break into the medical industry. The other interview was with ADP and is a pretty solid opportunity. There are still 2 more steps in the process, so it may be tough to hang on to that opportunity with the medical position and the other opportunity selling IT services and hardware that I am anticipating an offer from on Friday. So all said, job sitch is looking positive.

So the W decides to send an email to each of my D teachers about the fact that we are separated and to notify us if there is anything we need to be concerned about, etc. Fair enough, I guess. But when my D7 teacher replies that my D pulled him aside to talk to him alone and they had lunch and had a private conversation about it, my W responds with "She has been asking lots of questions and is very curious. Again, we have been making sure we answer her questions and assure her that her "world" is really not changing all that much." WTF!!!!! Is her head really up her *ss that far?!? Not changing all that much?!?!?! She has got to be f*cking kidding me!!!!!!

I don't see how I could possibly go dark with nmy current arrangement with my daily responsibility with the kids. I will just rty my best to not engage her in any conversation, period unless she engages me first.

So the W gets into a car accident this AM taking the kids to school. Some JA blows through a stop sign and my wife clips the rear end of his car as she is passing through the intersection. Everyone is fine, but she gets an attitude while I am asking her questions about the accident. Should I have just acted like I don't give a sh*t?

I did have my IC appt this AM with my new C. I think she is going to be a big help. She is going to kick my *ss into gear. The only problem is that I am with Kaiser and the way their MH is set up is their therapists are all overloaded with patients and I only get to see her 1x/mo. at least for now. I am used to private insurance and a normal therapy plan of weekly visits is more to my liking. I guess that's what you have to deal with when you asre in an HMO. Not sure what I might do to change this. I need the Kaiser for my DBT class, but it is my W insurance, so I don't truly know how much longer I keep it anyway, so when I get a new job, I may just switch.

The end of this week will be huge for job sitch, so at least for the next 2 days, I will just concentrate on not engaging the W at all. I have the kids at the house this weekend except my W will stay at the house on Sat night while I go play some poker. That should be a good diversion.
