History In The Making

"If 13's unlucky then 12 and 14 are guilty by association." - Mitch Hedberg, Mitch All Together

Well hey...

I mean hey.

For a minute there I thought this week was going to work, suck, but work. Boy was I wrong. So today was an unmitigated disaster. Monday and Tuesday were bad, but we were so on top of everything that we stopped it from being so much worse. Today just didn't pan out like that. We dropped the ball, so when everyone else fucked up we couldn't save them.

I'm finishing up reading James Swanson's Manhunt, which turned out to be a surprisingly fantastic book. I really enjoyed it.

I've worked too much these past few days, and the truth is it's got me feeling a bit sick. There are entirely too many people who suck in this line of work, entirely too many people who just don't give a shit. No matter what you do for them, they fuck you over. It's just how it is. One minute they love you, one minute you're a complete bastard. All that matters too them is what you'll do for them. It doesn't seem to make a difference whether or not they've earned it, whether or not they deserve it. They just don't get it.

I've got a job, I'm looking at buying a house, I'm finally getting my head together. All I need now is a family...holy shit. Look where I ended up. I'm finally at the point in my life where all I need now is to not be alone...and just a little more time. Ain't that something? Despite it all, I'm getting there.
