Apparently our trailer rental for tomorrow doesn't matter, since the place gave them all out this week. :rage:

"Oh, sorry. They are in high demand."

That's why we made the reservation...

Despite all the fighting, there was never something major that happened between michelle and I to force us to break up. It was just a matter of deciding it wasn’t worth it to keep trying. So it’s hard to see her so upset about the break up, and I want to get out of her way and let her start to heal and move on as quickly as possible. Other than the bouts of tears, and awkwardness in the house together, we’re handling things maturely and civilly. It’s nice, but also hard cause it feels like there’s hope to fix things. That’s also why I need to get out quickly though.
It's the "boiling frog" fable. You were in a situation where the heat was being turned up on you slowly. You were going to boil eventually.

You were smart enough to see it and strong enough to do something about it.

More kind words and support from every one. Thanks again. I’m pretty thanksful that I started posting in the OT of the dead zone all those years back and met all of you. You’ve seen and helped me through quite a bit.

Fun stuff today:
My boss is upset that a tank repair project won't be completed by his magic timeline that was based on absolutely nothing (no scope of work, no schedule, no cost basis, nothing) that he committed to at company leadership level. Going to be about 2 weeks behind it, and he wants to know "why the schedule slipped."

Bruh? The schedule was created as civil scope developed while we were repairing the tank, it didn't "slip." I actually think we're doing pretty damn good.

I fucking hate working here.

I've worked in places like that. It was part of my demise at Northrop. I was expected to negotiate pricing, terms and conditions, and a multi-year delivery schedule for an $8 million dollar contract in 30 days as a standard procurement package, even though other parts of leadership were saying it was a full blown sub-contract and should be kicked to that team or at least given 90 days like a subcontract is supposed to have to be negotiated and placed.

It took two weeks just to get a full price/cost analysis done from our PCA team. Then I had to send those numbers back to the supplier to open up negotiations.

I recently just said fuck it and bought caffeine pills. I don't recommended it. Too easy to get accustomed to it.

I've already had 600mg today and still tired.

Literally feels exactly like college when I was taking huge amounts of Ritalin to maintain.
