Sometimes Things Can Be Too Much....

I want to do this more often, but I hate typing and sometimes not knowing the words to express how I feel makes me feel stupid. The only reason I am posting now is because my friend Tim mentioned that I haven't posted in a while.
Where to start...Things have not been going great at work, just about everyone has a short fuse. A is pissed off at B for not doing their job, B is pissed off at C and C is pissed off at everyone. This is one of the benefits of working alone, if something doesn't get done, I have no one to blame but myself.
I really don't like working alone anymore, my wife and I work opposite shifts, I am alone when I go to work, I am alone when I come home... no one to greet me when I come home. My wife commented that is feels like we are roommates. She's right, we only have a couple hours in the evenings, half a day on Saturday and we have Sunday for a family day if we want to do something. I am working 6 days this week, have Sunday off then I have to work 12 days straight. The guy that normally works my nights off is going out of town and we are short handed as is it, we just don't have enough people to fill all the shifts without overtime.
To add to the frustration, the customers seem to be becoming bigger jerks than ever. I work in Tillicum, not the best area, there are a lot of low life's here, you have to have eyes in the back of your head. One of my fears is that some were to happen to me, and one of these low life's find me first, they are more likely to go thru my pockets, empty the register, grab whatever beer they can carry before or even IF they call for help. I am disliking these people more and more each day. At the first of the month, their welfare kicks in, at 12:01am on the first, they are hitting the ATM. They get upset with me because their money isn't in. When it does finally hit, they are like hyenas and the ATM is a carcass. They gather around, each one withdrawing as much as they can as many times as they can before the ATM runs out of money. In my opinion, if you are on welfare, food stamps,or both, you should have to provide DSHS receipts for what you are spending the tax payers money on. I am sick of my tax dollars paying for their beer, cigarettes, gambling habits and drug use!!!
Enough about work, things are O.K at home, just wishing I could spend more time with Darlene and Andrew. Andrew is growing like a weed, and learning fast.... too fast. I like to play Call of Duty on line on my X Box 360, you can play with anyone around the world and I have gotten to talk to folks as far away as Australia. I have to really watch what I say when I am playing as Andrew will repeat EVERYTHING. It's at the point now where I will be playing, I'm not cursing, but when my character get shot, he'll yell "Dammit" or "SON OF A BITCH". Needless to say I am trying to be very careful when I play and he is around.
My 18 year old daughter is being a complete and total bitch, I had to shut off her cell phone for good on November 1st, I got the bill on October 28th and it was for over $400.00. I called Verizon to see what happened and they said that on of the phones have over 136.00 in download fees for songs and ring tones. Holy Cow!!! I called her and asked what was up and why, she said she was bored. I told her to have the money to me by the 1st of November or the phone will be shut off and stay shut off, her response was "It can just be an early Christmas present" No money by the 1st and she was ignoring my calls and text so the phone is gone. I later got an e-mail saying the I never want to talk or see you again. At this point, although I am hurt, this is her choice, not mine and this is one less leach I have to deal with. I am getting a strong feeling that my oldest son is going the same way as he has made no effort to come over for almost 2 months. I have tried to set up a visit, he is busy every weekend, they do however have time to see their grandma each week..... go figure. The way I see it, I have a few more months of child support left to pay then I'm done. If they can't make time for their dad, then the bank will be closed!!! My ex has given Margaret the money that's has been saved over the last 18 years for school and she has spent it on everything BUT school. She has complained that I haven't given her any money for school, not true, when they were visiting, they were paid to to chores on the farm. She did not put one cent away for school.
Done with that, I would like to spend a bit more time on the magic thing, I was off for a week due to a strained abdominal muscle and took that time to learn a couple new effects, Daryl's Acrobatic Knot, 3 Fly 3 and the Rubic's Cube. The cube was pissing me off, if you make a wrong move, you have to completely take that damn thing apart, put it together and start over. I took that thing apart 10 times before I got it down, I even made a few new curse word in the process. Working on the effects now, hoping to smooth them out.
I talked to my good friend Tim, he is making a nice oak table stand and a new table, looking forward to seeing it. Today...well I hope to get home and catch about 4 hours of sleep, I would like to take the family to the Zoo as we haven't been there in a while. Andrew is 3, this will me a magical experience for him. Then we plan to park the car at the park and ride at Freight house Square and take to train around Tacoma. And last but not least, there is an Asian BBQ place in the Square that serves a great Bulgogi beef..... DINNER TIME!!!! The family really needs a day together as the next 2 weeks are gonna be really rough.
