I want to be the guy that's always able to roll with anything, without being phased. I'm not. Sure there's been instances wherein I'm able to manage a crisis with grace and ease but there's just as many, if not more, instances that just trip my overload switch. Tonight was one of those moments. The day was decent, we completed interviews for the FE position and that's a big accomplishment. Tommy came over to work on his computer but he's being a massive pain in the ass with attitude, with dismissive insulting behavior and with total disrespect. I can't stand him after he's been at his moms, he brings the conflict with him. Then to top it all off the fridge stopped working. Appears to be the relay switch based on reading/watching videos and isolating the clicking sound indicative of the problem. But it irritates the FUCK out of me. I get so frustrated that I don't have tools I need because I abandoned them at Pano years ago. I get so annoyed with having to throw out food, or having to move things to the 2nd freezer, instead of being immediately grateful we even have that option. This shit happens but hits a nerve related to having to fix everything, having to stay ahead of things breaking, having to coordinate what is/is not kept, having to ask for help, not getting help from kids, and being made to feel like an awful person because I'm flustered that I have to spend my time on this at all. It's ridiculous and I'm so grateful that Jen knows to just let me vent and I'll come around, which I did, but Tommy's prone instead to poke the bear and annoy me further. Always with the comments. But at the end of the day the issues's mitigated, resolution is on the horizon, and I'm lucky to have what I have.
