Blues Keep Calling

Well, the blues have returned, and the bitterness about being released from my employment has risen to the top once again. I attribute this to tonight being the holiday party. I was not planning on going but then again I was not planning on being fired on November 4.

I also did not anticipate L’Orange Merde being re-elected but people are stupid and they seemed to have voted en masse for L’Orange Merde. Or maybe not. Democrats are not one to dispute election results or to cry foul like the godforsaken pieces of shit that stormed the capitol on January 6, 2021.

Earlier in my bitterness, I mentioned to Daisy that she shouldn’t go to the party. People get drunk and behave badly and then the washer women in the mailroom gossip about them for the rest of the year.

Today I texted her that if she goes that she should have a good time but to be careful. She replied a while later saying that she was going since she hardly ever gets a chance to go out and enjoy herself, she’s usually holed up with her kid.

She also told me she was in the middle of training in some new task, with a woman who was a bit helpful when the shit was being moved closer to the fan. Her advice to contact Leticia James as well as OSHA was a good idea.

A few days after that I was on Lunked In and her name was floated by as a potential contact. I was fine with the suggestion until I saw her Lunked In page which was quite celebratory regarding the return of L’Orange Merde so the MAGA woman was unceremoniously blocked.

Just another seemingly intelligent person who supports the piece of shit under the shoe which keeps reappearing no matter how many times one would try to scrape it off on a curb. So the job has been on my mind a lot today and it’s not a place where I care to spend any time.

Even walking around Hoboken en route to the supermarket this afternoon, I spied a coat rack and thought about taking a photograph of it and sending it to Shahabudeen Khan telling him the large jar of Vaseline was out of the frame.

I thought it was funny and it went nowhere since I did not take the photo. I mentioned it to Bill, to let him in on the joke in my head and he replied with ‘Why am I even thinking about these people’. The private joke did not land when it went public.

I did re-edit my initial email to the Department of Labor. It’s still in the draft stage. It was written before my dismissal and so it was all in what was then, present tense. Here it is over a month later and quite a few words needed to be adapted. It fed the flames of my sour furnace.

For a lark, I fed the email to Gemini AI and asked for a positive version, a harrowing version, and a humorous version.

I can’t be objective.

Your Silent Face

It was another beautiful day today and it truly felt like spring so that was nice.

Last night I worked at Maxwell’s. And as usual it had gotten fairly dead by 11:00 which meant it was better to go home than stand around and do nothing for that last hour. Bill had stopped by earlier for a burger and his waitress Chloe thought the world of him. So did the other waitress Jessica but Chloe was the main one. It was good to have him there if only for a little while and he was in good spirits.

I came home last night and there was Bill overturning so many things. He spent part of last night most of the morning looking for paperwork for his mother. That is when he wasn’t distracted by a documentary on Rowdy Roddy Piper or Star Trek Voyager. He finally found it and was going to do what he had to do tomorrow. I mentioned that it might be better to get it over with today rather than run around frantic before he drives a bus tomorrow.

He actually listened to me and left. It was good to have him out of the apartment because with the two of us here at the same time all the time, it does get troublesome or at least has the potential to be that way. I wandered around Hoboken, stopped by the Guitar Bar to see Jim Mastro who wasn’t in. I raved about Rare Books to the guy who was there and since he wasn’t what you would call engaging, I left and wound up by the really big supermarket.

Juan was interesting the other day. He texted me about how his last boyfriend might have been ‘the one’. All I could do was remind Juan of the things that he sent me, the shitty things this boyfriend did. And to read Juan’s side of it, the guy is a total douche bag drug addict. But love is not only blind, it’s incoherent and I saw that Juan had friended this thing once again on Facebook. Not my problem and all I will do is offer a shoulder once again when Juan needs something to cry on.

And Pedro is going full blown teabagger. He has gotten so bad that I removed one comment from a post I made (& I never do that) and changed the settings on his newsfeed coming in from All Posts to Only Important. Not the end of the world but I don’t need his constant barrage of negativity.

Other than that, there’s not much else to write about, for now.
