Shock and Awe

Today I read something that shouldn't have shocked me. I shouldn't have been surprised. In fact it was only a couple months ago that I was telling her that it was going to happen. I knew that as soon as she was available, legally, he would ask, and I told her I knew that she would say yes.
None of it is about me.
I'm happy for her, as long as this is really what she wanted to make her happy. So if she is happy, I am happy for her.
Our end has happened so many times.
I pray that we never know our pasts again, and maybe there is a future between us as friends.
I don't believe it will be. I believe I am a threat to anyone that she is with.

Guilt or just plain arrogance?

When I came to you, three times; I asked you each time, what was wrong? What was it I had done. You gave me some bullshit answer about how it was just that you didn't like talking on the weekends, and you hate texting. And you told me you didn't understand what had happened in the first place as to why we had stopped talking at all. All of it was a lie.

You told me, the things that bothered you were the same as the things that bothered me, and yet I find out today, that you sold me out to the crew that you said you hated, you couldn't stand being around. You said that you were repulsed at how they acted like they belonged in a zoo. You hated the racists comments.

I find out today that you sold me out and told them that I had complained about them. That I had gone to HR and gave them a list of people that would side with me when that was never the case.

I did go to HR. HR asked for a list of people that might would collaborate my story, all so that I could simply move my desk away from all of the negativity I got from, what I assume now are your friends. If HR had contacted you, or anyone else, all you had to do was tell them the truth. Instead you sold me out.

After everything I have ever done for you.

I gave you and your daughter a roof over your heads. I provided you electricity, internet; in some cases furniture.

You cost me a new dryer, because you had to thrown 30 towels in to dry at once, and it burned out the motor. Someone put something down the garbage disposal and I had to have that replaced. I got you the job you're in now. If I hadn't taken care of all of that for you, where would you or your daughter be?

Seriously?

This is how you treat someone like me, who at every chance has stuck my neck out and tried to be a friend and provide for you? This is how you treat me?!?

This is sad... Truly sad. But I'm thankful I now know what and who you really are as a person. I'm so thankful that I can now close this chapter of my life to you, and all the lies and insencerity that is you, FH or FS... whatever name you choose to go by.

Pure Fishing Parking Lot Protest

So this is the corporate web-site for Pure Fishing.

www.purefishing.com

Pure Fishing is a subsidiary of JARDEN. (www.jarden.com)

I don't imagine that either of the companies are responsible for this note left on my car today, as it was hand-written on a sticky note:

I don't know what sort of SEO infrastructure they have, but I am really hoping that someone from #purefishing finds this post and responds.

I park in virtually the same parking spot, every day. It just happens that it is in the parking lot that is adjacent to our parking lot. I park in that lot because our lot fills up, every single day and our employees spill over into the adjacent lot daily.

I walked out to my car this afternoon to put a couple lunch containers in my vehicle and I found the note glued to my window.

I'm not necessarily annoyed with the fact that someone put it on my window, and under my windshield wiper, but more annoyed at the fact that, on any given day, there are easily 200 spaces free in the adjacent parking lot, and the space that I choose to "usually" park in against the outer edge of the parking lot, far from their doors. There are plenty of free spaces available between my vehicle and the entrance to the Pure Fishing building.

I find it hard to believe that my choice in location is inhibiting anyone's ability to find safe parking close to where they work. I think this is absurd.

It makes me want to leave a note in my car, after parking in the same spot, articulately written, "F-U. Quit fishing in our pond."
