I made be in a pre-midlife crisis. Recently I have been doing thinking (a common thing? no?) and something occurred to me. I enjoy the things I do in life (Bowling, WoW, drinking, baseball...) but the people involved in other aspects, and the other aspects as a whole just annoy me.
Work I have enjoyed until recently. The job itself I enjoy. The people and the bureaucracy surrounding it drives me mad. I work at an alternative education high school in the city of Detroit. The long and the short of it is that the school itself, at least the management company, want to treat it like a business. I understand that partially, I do. The put forth their monies as an investment and expect to get returns by shaving money off of the top from what is donated and giving through federal monies.The part that really gets me is that we (the school) are switching management companies. So they want to make some changes but they have no idea what they want to do. WTF why are you buying a 3 schools if you don't know what the hell you want to do with them. Then any decision we make involving the students needs to be verified but the old management company is looking for ways to trim extra weight (fire people). So a former reasonable job is now a bunch of paranoia. That is the lovely job I get to return to tomorrow.
Women, cant live with them, cant live without them. I kind have been with this woman from work over the last 3 or so months. I can get her to do practically anything I want her to do. Which has its advantages, but they aren't worth it to me. I can tell she adores me, but she its just weird. Like I am not talking about the normal small quirks that everyone has, I am talking about major messed up crazy things. That is the surface of the reason why I have a disdain for her. The thing that really drives me crazy is that whenever I say I like or hate something she just says I am wrong. For example, I say " I hate coffee", and I am wrong for having a opinion?! F" that. For me, a person who doesn't believe in the so called emotion of love, to feel this upset about that to be annoyed. Damn. The biggest issue I have now is the fact that we both work at the same school. WAAAAAAwaaaa, fail! So to avoid extra drama, I just have to dealing with it until the year is over with and hopefully it will work out from there.
That is the now.
