RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGE
RAGE RAGE RAGE
I effectively utilized my anger coping strategy of "Venting to friends" (sorry, terrible joke with myself utilizing work vernacular) with Bre to keep from sending almost literal venom into Dan's face. I thought of a million horrible but omgsogood things to say to him, trimmed it down, ALMOST sent it, but sent it to Bre instead, who helped me calm afterwards.
I'm so helpless to his play at power struggles that I feel like I'm going to explode. Hopefully I can get him to give the account back, and then I will forever remove him from my life and all will be well.
*Exasperated sigh.*
P.S. the funny coincidence? His little brother Michael, whom I adore to DEATH, texted me, thanking me for his bday gift and card ^_^ I mailed him some moolah this weekend. I love him. He told me the other week that he brought
Blurb from the original post:
Okay, here's a story that was SOOO funny for us. A couple weeks ago, Michael wrote on my To-Do White Board "Get Michael a Pony." He forgot about it after the initial joke, but I thought it would be a great idea for a goofy gift. I had planned on getting him one of those little plastic ones, but even the teeny ones were like $5. I looked around Target for awhile and found an adorable 12" plush pony for $3.50. I snatched it up and wrapped it and hid it under the tree. I figured he'd either A. Be embarrassed but laugh and then forget about it, or B. Think it was funny because of how funny the rest of the family would think it was and then forget about it. Turns out... he actually really likes it. I mean, everyone laughed about it, including him, but he's taken it around the house with him, and I believe he took it with to ND. How adorable. Seriously. After all the gifts were opened he was sitting quietly looking at it, and then said (in a fake conversation), "'What a cute pony!' 'I got it when I was 17!'"... okay maybe only I find it funny, but I don't think he's owned a stuffed animal since he was a small child, so it was super cute.
to college. AWWWW! He's so great!
