3 in NoJoMo 2017

Once again, this is kinda incomplete. A result of getting home late, not being able to write during the day.

Since I email these back and forth to myself, I game mysel the subject of “Tres Commas,” since it’s the third.

Mmmmm. Tequila. Silicon Valley.

Yes, this could be a good weekend once the new season is out.

Onto today’s prompt....

Biggest challenge you have faced so far?

It would be easy for me to say, “Multiple Sclerosis,” but that’s not entirely true.

The MS, atop the thorough fucking I’ve taken by several jobs, makes it tough.

The employment experience before this one, and the ultimate lack of success therein, I will say is partially my fault.

That one, the combination of health problems landed me in the hospital thrice during the fifteen months I was there; a night in September, two in October, two more in June.

At the same time, I was so out-of-it after the situation with MSC and CACI, that maybe I didn’t really care anymore. Maybe in a way, I still don’t.

There was no reason I should have seen my salary return to what it’d been in 2006 at the behest of a criminal. I accepted the job, because it was the only thing available, and we needed the money. If someone hears from him in Federal Pound-Me-In-The-Ass prison in Texas, ask him if he’s proud of himself.

So, despite a serious lack of compensation, I’ve kept working. II’ve done what I needed to do to try and keep my wife and myself above water.

I am tired, though. Since 2012, I’ve not had a solid week off. When I say, “solid,” I mean time off without concern about where the next paycheck is coming from.

I really don’t feel like writing a lot more about all this, though. The fuck-you-I-got-mine crowd can keep despairing about the 2016 election. I don’t have the energy. It must be nice....

And back to writing now. As I told my wife as she’s pouring over the plans from the Federal Exchange, I think she’s understanding why I was so upset yesterday.

Essentially we’re being forced to accept a plan from my employer knowing full well that my job could end soon, and I’d be on very expensive COBRA.

Bubuhbut you’re supposed to get insurance through your job!!1!

And people who are in comfortable situations are in the fuck-you-I-got-mine mindset.

I just don’t care to deal with them anymore.

Tomorrow?
