My eye is still gunky and red, but it is no worse than yesterday so it may not be pink eye? Still talking to the NP at work and probably hitting urgent care today
Just found out yesterday that H's boss is planning on retiring at the end of the year. H has had this job since he was 18. It is H and 2 other employees. So, when the boss retires, H is out of a job. I am really glad that we were got warning about it and it gives H time to find something. And H's boss said that if he has to, he will keep the doors open a few months more if necessary in case H hasn't found a new job yet.
Fortunately, H is a carpenter so he knows a lot of people he can go to for a job. And he knows of someone who would be willing to pay for H to learn HVAC and employee him while he is in training.

sparksfly, it sounds like H's boss is a good guy. I hope he finds another job soon!
I already told Doris about this but there are cool things going on at work. I'm the director of the clinic. There is a Director of Clinical Services that oversees all the clinical services in a special school that we run. The lady in the job now is not doing well and the department is a mess. About 6 weeks ago, my boss casually mentioned that he thinks I'd be an awesome person for that job. On Friday, boss comes and tells me that there was a meeting with his boss and the director of residential services. Current director isn't expected to last much longer and they all want me in that position. He said he wants me to consider applying for it when it becomes available. I countered and said that they should give away some of my job duties here and combine the postions to make me the director for ALL the clinical services in the county. Boss man was super excited about this and plans on trying to make this happen when current director quits/gets fired. Even if it doesn't happen, it is super cool to know they value my work and think I'm doing good things!
That sucks sparksfly but still good that he got significant notice that the company would be closing. I can keep an eye out for carpenterish stuff if you want.
My complaint is the XH is being a pain in my ass. He's still texting me with his tales of woe. I'm old, I'm fat, I don't have any friends, I don't know who to put as my emergency contact, I'm always with my parents, I need bifocals, no girls want me, am I ugly, am I a bad father, I need to go to church, I don't wanna go to church, how do I make friends, I need something to do, my life sucks, I don't have any money, I can't afford anything, I have so much debt, blah blah blah on and on and on. All that, plus he drunk texts me at least 4 nights a week while I have DS (he doesn't drink at all while DS is with him).
I was fed up with his shit and just tolerating his ass nearly 4 years before I divorced him. It's been a year since I pulled the plug and I'm sitting here staring at my phone like
Thank you everyone. And yes, H's boss is awesome! And we are both very happy that we have plenty of notice. I am all in favor of him doing the HVAC thing. In the long run, he will end up making more money. And Chirp, that would be great. I know he isn't looking to make any moves until the summer.
I had to leave work early yesterday to get PF from school since the weather and roads were terrible and busing had been canceled. When I got there she was in physical therapy. Her PT got to show me how great she's doing with a walker! As soon as she got her hands on the handles she took off and was totally bowling for people. She was so excited to be fully on her own. Hopefully we can find a lender of this walker because I think it would make a world of difference. And we really can't afford to purchase one.
Just got an update from her, it's a complicated situation because they found a bacterial virus in a particular part of his body and they are keeping him another day at the hospital to find the right antibiotic to wipe it out. He will be okay - thank goodness. Thank you all for your good thoughts and concern.

Sparksfly- I'm glad you have until summer notice is good and learning HVAC would be awesome.
I'm exhausted I haven't been sleeping well. They are doing construction on my street, but because of traffic are only doing it at night. They started jack hammering at 9pm last night and then when they are finished for the day cover the road with metal plates. I can hear people drive over them all night even with ear plugs. I got up for class this morning but came home took as shower and crawled back into bed and slept for a bit. I hope they will be finished soon.
I wish I could tell you to block him, but I suppose there still needs to be some sort of communication there for when he has your son.
What a pain in the ass
You have no idea how much I wish I could just block his number and ignore him completely. I have a countdown going... 6 or 7 years until DS gets his own phone and 12 years until he starts driving and can take himself back and forth.
I have been ignoring most of the texts that don't have anything to do with DS. I will now be ignoring all texts that have nothing to do with him. I was trying to be nice and maintain a friendly relationship so stuff is less awkward with DS. But at this point, fuck it. I see no reason to remain nice and calm when he's blowing up my phone every goddamn day (no joke... it's every day).
Best part, I've saved screen shots of every text conversation since the divorce. Today's is a doozy.
He does realize you're not his therapist or responsible for caring--right???
My guess is, he thinks he can still control me. Nope.
I just found out that he stopped going to therapy. He says he doesn't have enough money for the $15 copay (once a week). But he has enough money to get eat out for every meal and get drunk every night that DS isn't with him.
And doglove, yes, that's next. I've been trying to maintain the peace. Not anymore. I'm fed up. I have more important things in my life.

Our nurse here says it's probably not pink eye because it's not any worse today. She suggested I get some vis.ine for allergies and see if the antihistamine in it will take the redness away. So yay for it not being pink eye!
Why not just say, "I will only discuss matters that pertain to son with you." and cut him off from any other talk?
This. Or just not even respond if it has nothing to do with your son, Chirp.
I'd be inclined to not respond unless it's kid related too. Given the nature of his texts, he might amp things up to a "see? this is how sad I really am!!!" level.

Confession: I had a sex dream about our head of HR last night. In the dream, he propositioned me about having an affair with him and we started fooling around. I woke up before we actually had sex. I feel bad because it was kind of a hot dream, haha!
Chirp You can find a backup program to automatically send all his texts to your email for safe keeping. That is so freaking annoying though, ugh.
doglove I'm sorry about your nephew. That's so scary. I hope they find the right meds for him ASAP.
dixienormous That's so great about PF. Do they have some sort of medical equipment exchange? Or ebay? You'd think as kids would outgrow them and they'd be available somewhere.

At least it wasn't your boss.
I had a dream a few months ago that I was having an affair with my boss' boss and looking at him after that dream was difficult.
