Well, Saturday I found out the whole case with Dad. Mom was the informant. She’s the only one who tells me anything about the family. Thursday he called the place, or something. The job was not given. My automatic thought was “Assholes.”
It is not so much about not giving him the job… it is what they did before their answer. My dad merely went there to see if he could run the shop at their gold course. The dude automatically says he’d rather my dad do something else. Told him what he’d need to do, spoke of pay, looked at contracts and all that crap. Then suddenly he stops… drags it out, makes my dad wait and then he says never mind. Asshole.
I hope my usual view of things did not jinx him. My mom and brother spoke about it in the beginning when that guy led my father on. They calculated pay and all that junk. I just looked at them and when they talked about numbers it went over my head. Money really does not… I just don’t grasp the whole getting excited over it. Yeah. It is necessary. I’m glad we have it. I know it is necessary to have a decent life. It just… when people get into huge numbers and the like… I’m just, “Uh… okay.”
Anyway, I think on Tuesday my second brother is taking him to his part time job to see if he can do anything there. Mainly it is to get my dad out of the house. He is getting antsy here. Dad always has to be doing something. I tell him I think he could learn something from sedatives. He semi-took it as a joke. Mom thinks he has anxiety problems and could probably use some medication.
Sunday my brother worked on the backyard some more and all the rocks have finally been placed down. It looks good. maybe someday there will be a bush or two on it even. Heh.
We surprisingly all congregated to the dining room to eat as well. Usually we go to our own little niches. My mom decided to eat there, so I followed. soon the boys settled down with us. It was good. My sister called in the middle of the meal, but that is not surprising. my mom hoped it would be E. brother calling, since she and my father constantly ask him to call or email. He did not call until later into the night. I must say I was surprised.
Monday went without a hitch. My dad and brother did spend about five hours installing a storm door though. I watched and did what little assistance I was able to. My mom was very pleased by the surprise of it when she came home.
Tuesday was pretty normal too. My dad and I went to Lowe’s to get some wood and such to finish up the door. Then we stopped by the grocery store to get my brother some more bottled water and some ingredients to make tortilla soup for supper. After that I meandered to my room. Somewhere from then to eleven thirty he and my brother had disappeared. they came back around twelve fifteen. I had forgotten about dad seeing about a job. He pretty much got it.
Wednesday Dad left for work around eight-forty. That was something different. His job before retirement required him to leave at six and come home at five. Another difference though is that this is mainly a part time job. He came back around five. he seemed to have enjoyed it according to Mom. After that Mom went to the gym and my dad fixed tuna salad for her and him as well as giving me a lift to get myself something from Wendy’s. Mom returned, we ate and watched TV. ‘Same old, same old…
Anyway, that is all on recapping. Only real thing I’m aware of occurring in the future dealing with me is that my cat has an appointment the sixteenth to get his teeth cleaned. He’ll have some meds on the Monday of that week… perhaps antibiotics. I cannot be too certain. Luckily for him it is my mom who made the appointment and knows the details.
Other than that… well, it is my sister’s b-day on the 15th. I can only shrug.
Yeah.
