Ok. Lizard Queen and I are splitting up, she’s moving to Albuquerque, and I’m going to California.
We’re fine, it’s just time. There’s been tears of course, and some angry words, as she tore out of me that my true will did not lie in Albuquerque. I’d go, but I didn’t want to. She was smart enough to not take me on those terms.
So, I gave notice, managed to get December as PTO, burning sick hours that were just shy of the nut to cash out. The office was moving, anyway. I started there as a temp on the first day, and my last work day is their last day open to the public. I had always joked that I ‘came with the building’.
So, there’s a house to fix up and sell, apartments and rooms to find, many details to be ironed out.
I’ll be closer to my daughter, She’ll be with her closest friends.
We are acting (mostly[sup]*[/sup]) like rational adults who love each other and are parting ways as amicably as possible.
[Mr. X} So much to do, so little time [/Mr. X}
[sup]*[/sup]The other part is fucking like rabid weasles while we can.
Um… sorry and congrats? It sounds like you two are trying to be adults about this, which is good, and like things will work out for the better for the both of you in the end. That’s often a difficult thing to come to terms with. And I know from experience that even when you decide you need to break up and it’s for the best, it still hurts.
I’m glad you’ll be moving on towards a better future, at least down the road.
Well, that’s too bad. Both of you seem like incredibly nice, thoughtful people and I enjoyed meeting you two at the Dopefest we had last March. Wishing you both much luck and happiness in your new lives.
Alice, please give the lobotomite a hand. Who were you, what did you look like, what did we discuss? I am seriously people recognition impaired. Walking around the Head Office on my last day was scarey. I had no idea so many people thought so much of me. But, I didn’t really know anyone. Just voices on the phone, familiar names, and maybe 3-4 people (including the director) that I recognize by sight.
Thank you Ferret. I’m positive we’ll be fine. I’m looking into getting substitute teaching credentials in CA, and waiting tables nights, I think I’ll keep myself in tarp and beans.
I used to be trublmakr? We met at that Mexican seafood restaurant… I wore a light turquoise sweater… I don’t recall what we discussed but I’m pretty shy so probably not much. Now you 'member?
At any rate, you seem to be handling it well, but it is sad when a union comes apart. I really wish you luck and hope you continue to post.
