Weekend highlights...


...Dinner, movies, and a 1 am run to Sexworld for last-minute wedding gifts with friends. (Don't look at me like that, Sheesh! They didn't take *My* recommendations, anyway. Moooooooo...)
...Exploring beautiful Sparta, Wis. and admiring the Edwardian guy with yellow pants riding the velocipede. (It was a big metal statue. Nobody knows what it's there for.)
...Wishing I had time to go to Milwaukee to visit Freekee and Cynnerth. (Pout)
...The happy couple, and their pleasantly short wedding, incredible heat and (sadly) amusingly horrible musicians. Ow.
...Getting in a dance with the groom to the tune of "Play that funky music, White boy"
...A frenzied rush from the hotel right at Check-out time, and a nourishing(?) breakfast at Country Kitchen. (I felt ill for miles.)
...Drinking more Sport-Drink-stuff in one day than I have for 8 years. (ulllg.)
...Watchng too much dull Cable TV, and being torn between sympathy and irritation for a friend who's desperately been looking for work. I feel guilty for not being supportive enough, but also annoyed, drained and increasingly more resentful. I'm actually a little
glad i'm at work right now. There are problems, but they're all workable. I can make rent and bills. An increasing amount of friends can't right now. I fell selfishly guilty and relieved at the same time.

Ms Eff. How was your week?

sounds like you had a good weekend, I'm very glad to hear it! I feel the same way you do about work, especially since I was sooo close to being jobless, and now I'm not, and all I can feel is relief about that. it seems that everyone is losing their job, and there isn't anything anyone can do, and THAT is the worst feeling for me. and helplessness spawns indifference I think...if that makes any sense.

happy monday tho!!!! {{{{{ms eff}}}}}

Thank you for being understanding sweetie. I feel torn between caring and just shutting down. Doesn't help that the friend keeps venting his anger on other people (me), saying I can't possibly understand his pain and saying things like, "Well, it's all over now, I'm going to have to go work in the corporate sector and work 80 hours a week and I'm just not going to care anymore and I'll jack them for all the money I can get..." (Not being a New Age Guru here, but with that mindset he's going to tak the first shitty job he gets and it'll kill him.)

I just feel so stuck. I thinkI need a few days off from this friend just to detox. :(

Sounds like a lot of fun. I might have to do some stuff at home, though. (haven't been home for 3 days now) and I need to go easy on the $$ for a while. (wedding trip stuff and whatnot, and I don't get comfortably solvent again till the 15th)

I'll give a call when I have a better plan for the night...

Love, Ms Eff.

Being upset about losing your job and wanting sympathy for it is one thing....telling your friends, who probably already feel bad enough that it's happening to you (which is why they're your friends), that they couldn't possibly understand, and trying to make them feel guilty for things they're not responsible for is another....

Yes, take a break, is my advice...he may not be seeing things clearly enough right now to see that even though it's really terrible that he's losing his job, you are not a punching bag and shouldn't be made to feel as such.

Well... it looks like I'm in the clear... as the 2 presents that I was making are done and he isn't here yet. Altho, I couldn't get ahold of either of the small presents that I wanted to buy him. Guess I'll have to give them to him as a "Happy Tuesday" Gift. ;)
