New attitude, new thread

The weight comment wasn't about her, it was about BF, but whatever.

Interesting week done. Thursday we had a major economic event here and I was the writer and everyone was happy with my work. That night I went to my first accounting class. I'm going to be fine. I thought it was going to be a lot of data entry. Couple quizzes, couple exams, one research project. Just have to keep up.

Rough night with D10 on Wednesday. Transitioning to school was difficult. She had mostly good week. Then today she had a rough afternoon.

XW wasn't answering -- what's new -- so school called me to pick her up. They wouldn't put her on the bus.

So I left work. It took me about 15 minutes to calm her down. She was apologetic and I dropped her off at daycare and went to work.

Work on Friday is no longer easy. We have a new system that is ... super ... slow. And they've given me more responsibility to justify keeping me on salary.

XW finally calls two hours after D10 incident and she wants to know what happened.

I told her I was on deadline on a ton of stuff and there's an email out about the incident.

She gets prissy -- 'Oh, well, nice communication there.' And hangs up.

I finish up at work. Then I think about what just happened and I text her ... 'You were out of line. D10 took an hour out of my day. We now have very tight deadlines on Friday and there was an email explaining the incident.'

No response yet. I don't really want one. I want to leave it at that.

D13 had her tryouts for the fall youth play. She's been working hard. I'll be disappointed if she doesn't get a decent part.

Texting all day with OKCupid 37. Kind of flirty. Looking forward to next week's date, although she let me know she "just quit" smoking. Her profile listed her as a non-smoker.

XW was a closet smoker who hid it from me for 3 months. By then I was invested. She quit, restarted, quit, restarted. It was tiring.

If OKCupid is more of a smoker vs. non smoker I won't pursue anything.

Early in the week, I complained by email to that running race company about not getting any work. I never got any feedback. I asked them if I did something wrong running the crew.

No. They said. They just wanted to save money with local volunteers instead of paying hotel money to bring in our guys. BUT, coincidentally, they did have some work this weekend.

Really? Well, I am off this weekend so I took it. One other guy was free so two of us are going in to work a triathlon. That'll be $350.

I really, really need it to recover from my memorable summer.

Had to ditch a friend though who wanted to go out tonight. I figure with the date next week I can rest. That'll be my social highlight for a while.
