Ranty ranty rant
Jesus fucking Christ! I've got to prepare my speech for the Cub Scout banquet this afternoon and my family seems intent on blowing up around me. The wife is being very brittle and bitchy, the boy is being selfish and rude and lazy, and they can't seem to do these things without making me the fucking centerpiece of their shenanigans. I just need a little peace and quiet to finish this crap, but the tension in the house is off the scale and based on how I know these two can hold a grude I can guarantee the rest of the day will suck.
And since I don't have a job I've got absolutely no leverage. I get the respect of an indentured servant even when I do bring home a fat paycheck so things are decidedly grimm nowadays.
I do so hate the sound of my child sobbing because I am making him do (gasp!) homework. I'm such an ogre. And I do so fucking hate when the wife stands right next to me and says some shit like "Are you just going to stand there and let your boy do X?" WTF? She is right there! If you feel the need to do someting then DO SOMETHING and don't feed me that passive-agressive bullshit!
Not a happy camper today, folks.
