You got trained!...
I finally finished college, and I'm not too terribly unhappy but then again I'm not feeling the way that I thought that I would after completing such an arduous journey. I have a job, a girlfriend, and a degree but I still feel like I have a never ending list of work and goals to accomplish, I guess that is normal...or is it?? lol
I guess the whole issue is trying to get adjusted to civilian life again, however that goes. It's only been a week but I still want to go to class, do homework, and turn in assignments. Another thing that really eats me up is if I am going through my day and I hear, see, taste, or experience something that I don't understand I have to go research it for hours until I know everything that there is to learn pertaining to it.
This is where it gets interesting...
I just recently moved in with my girlfriend, at which point our "discussions" have become quite heated regarding what I should or should not do around the house without communicating my intentions first. Oh yes, I can understand this process, but for the past two and a half years she has been somehow training me and retraining me to do other things...i.e
"...if the garbage is full take it out" --okay that's a given
"...if there are no towels, wash a load so that everyone will have a towel" --okay
"...if the dishes in the dishwasher are clean, empty it" --alrighty then
So, this morning I awoke with the intention of cleaning the house and to start I considered the most trivial things before breakfast...garbage, dishes, towels, and added the sheets to the list. Her and her daughter were watching something on TV and I just left it at that, I didn't want to disturb them and I was actually being proactive...go figure...
Going to skip a large part of the morning due to extreme hate spewing from the adult mouths in the house and go to the whole point of this story...
After getting up and doing a few things without being asked...I got called inconsiderate for not discussing with the GF what I was doing since someone else in the house may have wanted to do those three easy chores. Not to argue, but I am sincerely confused. I autopilot chores now and if for some reason I don't pass it by her on cleaning day I'm being inconsiderate...I was accused of taking the easy jobs when the house cleaning had not started yet. So I sit here typing in the office, and try to figure out why my nose keeps getting rubbed in poo...I'm sure one day I'll figure it out lol.
