  Oh I know that I wasn't the only one caught up in it.  There were probably
somewhere between a quarter & half dozen people that got caught up in the muck
while I was still there.  I suspect it's only gotten worse.  I will try to get
that email done today, though, now that I think a little more on it (since my
last message)...  It was a pretty good place that I liked the philosophy of,
maybe the other location would be a lot better.  Wouldn't hurt to try it out,
and it'd be nice to be getting pay for my 'social' hours, as it were.  :)

  Yeah he's just really good at trying to make it seem like he can't do it and
throwing up his hands when I'm around.  That doesn't mean I always do it for
him, but he just seems to think that he can do that stuff around me, where when
it's anybody else around he keeps on pushing and trying on his own instead of
giving in to his frustration.  I've known other kids that were that way; just
wish I could identify what I'm doing that makes him think that's alright.  I've
not hauled his bundle out of the fire that often, I don't think...

 NB> I'd go for having it mailed out, too, considering...  I'm glad you got

  Yeah I'm definitely not wasting another trip that far in my dying vehicle. 
*grin*

  Heh.  People that don't understand that with me often get left by the wayside
when something broadsides me in life.  I wish I could get to a point where my
load-shedding pile doesn't dictate things so much for me, but if I can only
accomplish a certain amount every day, and for as long as that situation may
last, I've got to put priorities in place or things will end up messy really
quick.  :P

 NB> He'll probably have figured out that one can't do everything all at

  Oh he knows.  He just likes to rib me about it every now and then.  :)

 NB> Just keep plugging away... and eventually it all falls into place...  ;)
 NB> At least that's my philosophy...  ;)

  Yep, I'm trying to get up the motivation points to start chipping on some
large blocks that are holding me up here right now.  Gonna try to get my blood
flowing a little bit first and see if that helps, since I was having issues
concentrating earlier.  Viva la mountain of crap!
