I had a pretty good week. Actual work was involved — work that I am trained to do and (if I do say so myself) damn good at.
Monstro had a shit week. The work that he is trained to do (and damned good at) is unappreciated and ignored at his current place of employment. A “hey did you get my email” turned into a round of bullying by his boss’s boss the likes of which I’ve never heard (the guy’s an a-hole, obviously).
So, now we’re on opposite sides of the coin. Again.
“We’re like Ladyhawke,” Monstro said the other day. “When you’re up, I’m down, and vice versa.”
I guess between us, we round out to zero.
and that’s how it is, right? my house, too. never both up together. one up, the other down. sometimes way down. then it switches. sometimes you wonder, hell, can we catch a break? and mostly, i still feel lucky.
