hard work sometimes pays off.
not so for my wife. my wife told me that she heard a rumor that her boss was about to be reprimanded by her superior again.
i warned my wife that if that happens, she should be on the look out for a tongue lashing after her boss gets chewed. why? because that's how people deal with stress. the boss chews you out, then you go home and kick the dog.
my wife is the "dog" in this scenario.
and that's exactly what happened. today. man, that book "ape in the corner office" is quite a powerful book.
my wife was pretty upset this afternoon, but she was already expecting it. and, she didn't let herself get drawn into a nasty argument that could have gotten her in deep trouble.
well, indian food is her comfort food. i went out and picked some up for her. hope she feels better soon.
well . . . my nephew has moved out! he says he's ready. his brother picked him up this evening. his brother can't give him a ride regularly because he plays college football way across the state. he just got home from school for christmas break. so, my other nephew came by and swooped him up after he packed his things-- which wasn't much. a small bag of clothes and an air mattress.
our nephew left me with a great parting gift: funny ass youtube videos!!!
i've laughed so hard that my throat is getting sore! it's the best thing my nephew could have given me in exchange for staying here. that, and just staying out of trouble and making good decisions from here on out.
here's the videos:
