Despite several promises, the b'stard didn't phone back.

What a -censored-!

He phoned me yesterday. The idiot could not reach me before, because he dialed my number without the international access code for Germany. He had two jobs on offer. A software development and a consultancy job. Both pay much better than my current job. I must say that I'm more interested in the software development job even if the consultancy job pays better. A bit scary though to change jobs at 54.

My Dad keeps taking control of my life and causing problems. Really need to get away from him but can't because I have so many problems.
Hmm... Are you sure about that? Everyone has problems, and some people have big ones. There usually are ways of dealing with them that do not involve parents though.

Yeah, I've mentioned this somewhere else. He stuck me with a car bill I did not want and thought he was going to pay for because I have no job because I'm disabled (not because I'm lazy, I was actually taking the advice of the insurance company when I decided to take it easy). It's just stuff like that where he makes decisions on my behalf all while making me miserable.

I love the feeling of getting something finished, but that feeling seems to always be so short lived these days; there's always more and more piling up.  :(

Add that to the fact that I can't seem to stop procrastinating and it rarely ends as I wish it would.

My boss's family just got a new kitty (They already have one kat and a dogg), and she insists on showing my pictures of it when she's in the office, and now she's texting my pictures of it.

She's the boss right so for the time being I have to act like the stupid kat is soooooooo cute and pretty, and ooh and ahhh over her pictures and reply back to her text pictures.

Here's the latest text she sent me:
QuoteHere she is. Heart stealer. Bruce, the office will be shut down in case you don't come back so no worries there.
Not sure how long I can keep this facade up,...I feel like Elian in Seinfeld when her boss took her to the movies to see "The English Patient" which she had already seen and hated, but was to scared to tell her boss so she took her to see it because he thought it was such a great movie. Classic scene.

How can you not love that kitty?? She's smiling for fuck's sake!! That's it, you're banned!! I'm going to call you Ice from now on because clearly that's what runs through your veins! Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries!

But seriously, she's adorable.  ;D

If I don't pass the probation time it will be very hard to find another job. Since I'm paying off the mortgage of my house, I need some job security. Here in Germany most companies don't hire people, who are older than 40-45. They like to hire students with 20 years of experience  ;),

I suspect that I've got heat stroke and I'm here alone at work, I can't get a signal on my phone to call someone, there is no landlines anywhere in the barn, and nobody is texting me back. I'm just sitting here covered in ice packs because I can't leave until I get the okay.

I'm relatively okay now. I ended up going to the health center and had them call my boss. Took 30 minutes to get ahold of somebody. I'm home now with many ice packs.

what makes me grumpy
no
what pisses me off is that since sunday afternoon cyprus is in flames. Two firefighters lost their lives, villages are threatened and one very beautiful forest is being turned to ashes
We know how the fire started but NO ONE will be punished because the person who started it was underage
NO ONE will be pubished
two people died!!
homes are threatened
no one is punished

I'd recommend a long cold shower or bath.
Though usually I prescribe that treatment for a rather different affliction.  ;)
