nyykiThe s/o is feeling down. Not surprising, as depression is rampant in our society. Of course, I suspect I am a bit to blame...
Last weekend I spent the entire thing re-connecting with some very important people in my life. We worked on issues, especially things important to our well being, and we came out renewed. This has brought up a lot of big issues about family for the s/o. Especially the s/o's family.
They say that the human body is made up of under $5 of chemicals and a lot of water. In the case of the s/o's mother, creation got screwed on the investment. This is a person who slapped one of her children so hard that the child bears a permanent facial deformity. This is a person who dislikes (a different) one of her children so much that when that child manages to gain any measure of success the mother has the child arrested for anything she can to wreck the person's job, life, and peace of mind. The only use this person has is as a walking organ donation waiting for the right crisis.
To make matters worse, I'm still searching for work. The Evil Broadband Company canceled our contract, putting 15 people on the streets. The only consolation is that the Director responsible for all this lost his head in the last purge. If I can get an interview, I can get the job. I'm just not getting interviews. A recruiter today told me that right now it is a hard market. To make matters worse, I want to change career streams. I want to write. So, I'm trying to use my past writing to jump into the technical writing field.
And of course, kids are always a fun complication. The s/o has a 13 year old daughter. So now, I have a 13 year old mind to subvert... er, mold, and it is at the top of my mind.
We'll see how it goes. Hopefully, things will resolve soon.
