A bit of amusement
The company I work at moved to a new building, and everyone hates the parking situation. It’s really close to the airport, so the owners of the parking garage also sell parking spots to overnight airport travelers. Needless to say there are always tons of cars, often parked in places where they shouldn’t be. The spots all tend to be narrow and cramped as well. It sucks.
This morning as I was driving in to work, I found a decent spot next to a pillar and angled into it. I thought I might be a little too crooked, so I got out and checked, and had the following conversation with myself:
“Let’s see...” *looking at car relative to lines*
“Oh I am straight, good!”
“...”
“Well… my parking is straight anyway...”

Guess I didn't wait long enough
Ever since the blowup with my mom, we havn’t spoken. I figure a month of sulking was enough, so I emailed her to re-establish communication. I’m perfectly happy not talking to her, but I know she isn’t, so I figure my efforts will make her happy. Well… apparently her happiness, at this moment in time, means admitting I was wrong. In my reach-out email I said there will be some things we won’t ever see eye to eye on, but let’s put that behind us. Her response was explaining her side of the story, without a single “I’m sorry” or even the least bit of an apologetic tone. Seriously, she thinks she had every right to do what she did, and that basically I don’t appreciate her trying to protect me.
So my attempt at re-establishing contact ended up being a continuation of the previous argument. Just because I didn’t cave in and grovel my apologies to her, she’s decided to stop talking to me again. What-the-fuck-ever, I don’t really care. I was going out of my way to let her know I don’t hate her guts, but she seems determined to play the victim with my sweety as the bad guy. Well guess what mom, you can’t raise kids the way you did and expect them to take your side when an argument erupts between you and your kid’s significant other.
