With friends like this (part 2). 

So I've been back at work for about a month now and you how it goes--it's good/ it's bad--I've got very mixed feelings about it but it's nothing that hasn't been written about and discussed in countless blogs across the world. The details are really so boring. The very short story is that I'm back at my old job, I've been working part time and I'll probably soon be working full time again. The good part is that while things are still in negotiations, it looks promising that I'll be making enough money that John will be able to cut his hours a bit so he has more time at home. Between that and my going into work at 7:30, Suzie should actually be in childcare the same or less than she is now but with our family's income doubled.

As far as the drama that I alluded to in the my previous entry, it IS a really funny story, but it's also a LONG story, spanning weeks, that culminated in a big, ugly thing last Friday night. Even the thought of writing out all the details is so incredibly tedious and I can't imagine that reading them would be much better. I just don't want to go into it all again, I'm really trying to let it all go. I guess I'll just say that John and I got involved (no, not "involved" we just went to a show) with a couple from work very much against my better judgment and things completely blew up. There were red flags all over the place and I even said to John "there's no way this will not end badly" but we forged ahead anyway.

This woman though, the female half of the couple, I just need to say--I've seen a lot of crazy in my day; I'm the queen of crazy best friends and I've worked in mental health for 8 years--and I've really gotta say that I've NEVER seen crazy like I've seen crazy in the past two weeks. Literally.

I think any of you that actually know me in real life can mostly vouch for my character. I mean, I've most definitely got issues just like anyone, but I don't think I'm out of bounds when I say that I'm generally well-liked, trustworthy, honest, and seen by friends and acquaintances as a good person. Well according to this woman, you've all been duped because you're too stupid to see the truth. I'm actually a manipulative psychopath who needs professional help--before I hurt anyone else. Oh yeah, and I'm also fat and a slut--but that's more sad than scary because she used to be young and stupid like I am and understands. She's just relieved I have a strong man in my life like John who can deal with my psychosis and she hopes he'll help me get the help I need to grow out of it.

Enough said? I certainly think so.

She keeps sending the emails though, day after day, so evidently she hasn't said quite enough yet. The really funny thing is that I haven't responded to any of them! The last one told me to not bother responding, I guess she figures that after not responding to the first three I'm going to start? I will not engage in name calling and insults, I have no time and no interest. Plus, and I'm honestly embarrassed to say this, I do get a perverse enjoyment out of knowing how much she wants to fight with me and how much I'm not going to let her have what she wants....I really do feel bad about that part of it.

Please - stop with the spoilers already. Obviously, I was waiting for the your friend's book to come out, accompanied by the inevitable movie tie-in, and its related merchandising ("I've Had Loads Of Bondage" action figures, etc.). Now my future consumption of these products has been spoiled, and the money I would have spent on them, shall be saved instead. Sigh. It was another bad day for capitalism....
