Drama

This week has been anything but normal. Drama seems to be the name of the game wherever you go.

Brief rundown-

I still have to continue dealing with my drug addict, bipolar diagnosed brother. He is like the herpes-never really goes away. My parents don't even like dealing with him. He calls on the phone and my mom starts making faces at me. It's pretty sad when you have to borrow $20.00 from your parents for gas (what's worse is that they actually give it to him). At this point I have made it known that I don't want anything to do with him. I left a relative's house on Sunday because he showed up with nothing else to do.

I was talking to my father today about a case we had in court (tresspassing kid from an early blog) and my father goes "You know your brother is banned from (name of business) and he still goes in there." Pretty much my brother got busted for stealing from the business. Led to a felony conviction and suspended DOC time. If he gets busted going in there, he'll get revoked and put in prison. My dad's opinion was that "I don't understand him." Neither do I. Better yet I don't claim him.

Work pretty much sucks too. I have the unfortunate advantage (I'm sure others out there do as well) of working with people who have no business of their own. It pretty much means that they want to fixate on what occurs at work. I don't care what happens at work nor do I bring my home life in there. Even with this, it doesn't matter. I went home sick last week. Some girl who didn't show up for work (that's between you and the supervisor) was told I left because "I was angry with her." I just kind of looked at her dumbfound and said "Why would I care about that?" And better yet why would you care that I was angry? I think pretty much what happened was that stupid girl (see earlier blog) got some idea in her dumb head and due to lack of impulse control spilled it out. It sucks I have to work with these idiots but it makes me appreciate the criminal justice field even better.

Another issue was my grandmother was found semi-consciousness and unresponsive in her house yesterday. They took her (via ambulance) to the hospital. She's doing somewhat better today-they think it might be a bacterial infection.

Overall this week has taught me one thing-You cannot sweat the small stuff in life. Within a year I'll be in another city (guarded my police officer) and away from my job. No point in worrying about any of the minor stuff because you honestly don't know when your time is going to be up...

You are right about that. You never know when it is your time. Your brother did not borrow twenty he took twenty. Borrow means there is an intent to return it and I doubt he has that intent. enjoy your drama days.....
