Purely Pathetic

Found out yesterday that my soon to be ex wife #2 is allowing my 16 year old step daughter to have a relationship with a 21 year old idiot from Minnesota. Surely he is very immature and desperate. Not to say that the step daughter isn't a great girl, but.... she's just that... a girl. I guess there are no girls his own age that see any potential in him, a LOSER.

No matter how much my ex tries to tell me that the dipshit is just such a nice guy that would never harm anyone, it's just wrong. You think that you teach your kids morals and values, but it seems that now days, today's youth don't know what any of it means. They have been given so much empowerment by society that nothing phases them. Whatever they want, whenever they want is the only motto they live by and the only thing they understand. The only good thing about all this is that someday they will most likely have kids just like themselves ( selfish and inconsiderate) and they'll possibly finally understand how it feels.

I keep asking myself why I care. I moved out because I could no longer take verbal and mental abuse from a woman who only thrives on taking full credit for things she really hasn't done. A woman who thinks she knows the meaning of love, but is undoubtedly the most truly heartless and self-centered person I've ever known. She has the audacity to wonder why she has 3 very ungrateful, irresponsible children who have learned from the master---HER. She keeps catering to them hand and foot and they learn nothing from it but how to take and never give.

I have determined from this point forward to basically disown them and move on. Life is too short to waste it on them any longer. I now will focus my efforts on a child I have ignored for almost 14 years. I am not proud of the father I've been to her; in fact I'm quite ashamed. I let my priorities cloud my judgment and I chose one group of children over another. Despite all of this she has turned out to be a very lovely, caring, intelligent girl. Unfortunately, I can take no credit for that but can only try to make our relationship better from this moment on. She has sought me out and I owe it to her to be a better dad. I have been taking steps to spend time with her and give us the chance to get to know each other. I truly hope I don't screw it up.

Long time no hear.....

So whats up?

Plenty up with me. I'm going through the big "D" and I don't mean DePere or Darboy..... Should've learned my lesson from my last marriage. Eveything is a big mess right now. Why do divorces always have to be difficult? They should make it harder to get married. People would probably think more about it before they went through with it.

Currently looking for work. Lost my job at Oshkosh Corporation thanks to the internal Gustapo. At least that's what they told me when they let me go. Seems I was found guilty of sending external emails on company time. Actually, that's probably the easiest thing they can get a person for because everyone sends email to family, friend, etc. Maybe it was because I had bitched to the wrong person about a jackass they hired back. A few weeks prior they fired another guy in my department for swearing at someone from China during an after hours support call. Considering that China is supposed to be so technically advanced, the people over there are a bunch of dumbasses! So they canned JG and brought back someone who had worked there before but who's contract expired. From day one back, this guy walks in like he owns the joint and starts pissing and moaning about the equipment that was set up for him and where his desk was going to be. It helped him that he was sooooo popular the first time around. All he had to do was go cry to the right people and he got everything he wanted. It didn't hurt either that he was the department managers PET. He moved his desk right next to hers so they could sit there and chit chat all day. The guy's supposed to be such a great Techie, but he seemed pretty lame to me. Anyway, overall glad I'm out of there. They lack major communication skills and treat their people like shit. They brought someone in who used to work at Merc Marine to shape the help desk up. GOOD LUCK! The way the company mentality (or should I say lack of) is she won't get mearly enough done to make it the type of organization it should be. 

Not much new on the horizon for jobs. I'm thinking about getting out of the tech industry altogether and seeing what else is available. 

Will keep you posted!

It's About Time

Well, it has been quite some time since I've updated this blog. Actually, I tried to update it a few months ago, but couldn't remember the info needed to sign in. Guess not blogging will make you forget stuff after awhile. The job at Mercury has come and gone. Brunswick announced major cutbacks ($300,000,000 worth). The boating industry is suffering from a falling market and needs to tighten the belt. I have taken a temporary position with Oshkosh Truck while someone there has surgery. Hopefully I will find a more permanent home somewhere. Not much else new to report. I know it's not much of an update, but it is more than everyone I know is doing!!! (You know who you are!!!, SLACKERS)

Almost a Year

So I've been checking the blogs lately, and haven't seen much in the way for updates. Seems everyone has pretty much abandoned the blogosphere as It's no longer trendy with the folks that got me started. I would've updated sooner myself but was locked out of my acount and couldn't remember my sign on info. I finally just began guessing wildly at what I might have used and much to my surprise was finally able to get in.



So, where to start



The job at Mercury came and went. Made it almost a year, I am now working at Oshkosh Corporation (Truck) on the help desk. So far so good....
