Chloe's Baptism was this weekend, then we had people over, what a drain on me physically.
Had to go back to the FOP, server was sending NDR's to everyone who I thought had their accounts fixed. Oops, didn't realize the SMTP had NDR's set to send delays after 1 day, failures after 2 days, wow, didn't even take a moment to look at that. Silly me. It's all better now (...knock on wood)
Had a family reunion this weekend, out by Kalamazoo. It was all of my mom's side of the family. Took the family with me, and we had fun until some people decided to pass commentary on my job situation. An Uncle of mine, I highly respect, came up to me and asked how it was going with the job hunting, I was honest, but missed no words when I said that I haven't found one yet. He replied quite simply with "well, maybe you need to start looking at more realistic stuff." Wow, it completely threw me when he said this, I don't even think he knows what kind of jobs I am looking for. Before my "heart on a sleeve" side came out and said something like "go fuck yourself" I gathered my composure, and replied "well, eventually, any job will be better than no job, it is when I have to make that adjustment that we will have to see..." I was so offended when he said this. Really wondered where he came up with this rant, then I talked to mom, that answered that. He had to be listening to her, she thinks I am sitting around all day, loafing off, and doing nothing to get a job. A perfectly good day pissed away by an ingorant family who have no regard for me or what I am going through.
Extended family sucks. Except for my brother, I wonder what the rest are worth some days..
