Intrigue
Nine times out of ten, it's my Dad's fault.
He drags me into it with a bunch of "Shane, don't worry about it, it'll be fine this time," and "Hey, what, you don't want a big paycheck?", and "C'mon, when's the last time you had a real challenge?", and stuff. And just a bunch of different little things he thinks're subtle that tell me if I don't say yes, he's not goin' to let me forget it. He only asks me to come along on a job when he's absolutely sure he's goin' to need my help, and just about every time, I wind up gone longer than I said I would be, and there's always some sorta trouble.
I don't know why I keep goin'. I'm sure somebody could tell me it's some sorta issue, maybe wantin' to please him and get acceptance and what not. To be honest, I really don't want to think on it too long, especially since I'm not all too sure about how to change it.
Except to say no, and then sorta just... Not call home or go near Texas for a bit.
But I've definitely gotten all the intrigue I want, and not too much of it's fun. I'm not goin' into details Sasha'll kill me, but it's there. And then I get into trouble 'cause I was gone so long, and 'cause I can't really give a good reason for it. It's not somethin' you really discuss with people outside the business.
I don't like intrigue. I work from home for a reason. People might think it's boring, but I'm comfortable with it.
So I'm on a break from all that. I don't know if that means I'll be runnin' out again at some point, but I do want to make sure it's a while before I ever have to get back in. I don't care who calls and offers up a challenge big paycheck, I don't need the money.
I have more important things here. And I'm just fine without the intrigue. My computer's good enough for me.
Honest.
