Whine like a baby, now with 500% more drama!

So Thursday was a little... enlightening.

I learned that I can retain some mild motor control whilst simultaneously developing Tourette's Syndrome whilst under the influence of a TASER X26.

At least I can wield one now.
 
So apparently the State of Washington doesn't care if the wife you've been separated from for four years takes your children three states away, then refuses to return them making you lose the 500 dollars you spent on plane tickets, abandons a home and lease with thousands of dollars in back bills that you have to cover just to keep the home for your children, makes you pay 5000 dollars for a lawyer that barely works your case for a month before demanding 2200 dollars more (which you don't have so you have to represent yourself in court) and then waits until the last minute to say you can visit your children on Christmas if you sign a stipulation that you are ok with them living in the other state, has effectively stolen your children and then asks for a thousand dollars a month in child support. Somehow all of this is condoned by the state of Washington.

Looks like I will be alone on Christmas this year.
 
Indeed..... video's available on request on an individual basis, for those interested... Yes, it sucks about as much as it looks like.
Oh man. Consider it requested.[DOUBLEPOST=1356291068][/DOUBLEPOST]

Holy. Fucking. Moses.

I... how is this post not laden with vitriol and rage.

Holy crap... That's terrible. I'm so sorry, 'mancer :(
 
That's where you need to be. And bear in mind that the vast majority of legal defenses in these sorts of situations are designed to get you frustrated to the point where you say "Fuck it, it's not worth it."

Your kids are ALWAYS worth it. Stick with it, do the right thing, and hem the heifer up.
 
Had to wait a frickin' half-hour to check into our rooms at the hotel. They actually told us we had to scan our freaking photo IDs before we could check in! Some sort-of new policy or something , its just ridiculous in my opinion.

Were you paying cash? Just about everyone will take a photocopy of your ID.

Be NICE to the staff, dude. They're working Xmas Eve and Xmas Day and probably not getting anything extra for doing so.

We're keeping the lobby open tomorrow night for the first time in at least three years, and I'm stuck with the overnight. And I'm in the worst period of a cold. Sneezing and dripping, but there's no one else to bring in to work.
 
probably not worth mentioning but I received no Christmas presents this year. I guess the Necro is on Santa's bad list. It really shouldn't be a surprise, although for the life of me I don't know why karma won't at least give me a reach around. It's not like I killed anyone this year.
 
Once again, trying to get myself motivated for job hunting. I want out of the job I do now, but I'm just not motivated enough to sell myself to anyone or anything else. Sure, this job looks nice...But there'll be 100 other people better suited for it applying as well. This? I could probably get it, but it wouldn't be an improvement over what I do now. That? Ehhh, maybe, but.... And so on. I hate my own lack of enthousiasm or motivation.

Seriously, my resume isn't great but isn't bad, either. Motivational letters to accompany it? Can't write them if my life depended on them. Can't sell myself at all. Grumble grumble grumble.

This is actually funny more than a whine. I am trying to pay off a fine at the library as I type. I used a check, and they have no idea what to do with it. There are three people here, and for all the world they look like the aliens from the muppets.

...

Okay, they gave up. Using a debit card instead.
 
I seem to have developed an intense sensitivity to cold. I'm wearing so many layers that doomweasels can (and probably are) hide amongst my clothes and I wouldn't even know it. This does not bode well for my frozen evil lair and I haven't extorted enough money yet to purchase the tropical volcanic island. Nuts.
