Engaging!

(cough! submit this one to the Ensign [LDS] magazine. They're always on the lookout for fiction non-fiction. Just throw in something about the spirit whispering to you what to do. Easy money, haha)

That's amazing, T! You got away from a dude was looking to victimize you using quick wit and... wait a minute! There's fine print!

Well now I feel bamboozled, this well written adventure biography has turned into a well written adventure fiction!

You know... You may have made this up but I've been in similar situations. Where someone just won't let me pass, slows down when I do and basically forces me to tailgate. Usually when this happens on those deserted country roads I simply stop the car in the middle of the road (they love it because they don't expect it) and then pop the car into reverse and floor it.

Puke green hummer? You don't like hummers?

Good to add the disclaimer...

IRL, he probably just wanted to trade his gas-guzzler for your affordable ride.

I will try to remember this today.

I did get up late and need to get going myself.

Make it a children's book by Teddy Hopper...

Except for the fact I've never seen a "puke green" Hummer, your story is very believable.

(And I know you don't live with your mom now.)

It is a great story, but it's fictional.

I enjoy remembering the time when you wrote this, last summer when my vehicle was broken down, this "turn" in our relationship was new...you drove to meet me, helped me get my vehicle fixed, and we spent the most FABULOUS weekend together, just YOU and ME-no laptops, no other friends or family...I look back on that weekend with the knowledge that it brought us SO much closer in two short days...they felt TOO short!

I'm more than "glad" I live with you now, that we share our lives and my world is brighter and BETTER since you're in it-

Thanks for posting this wonderful story, Handsome!

Peace of Mind

What value do you place on peace of mind? Would you stay and work for a company whose practices were tearing at your conscience? Would you put up with abusive treatment for fear of losing whatever modicum of security the negative situation provided?

We all face conundrums like this in our lives and I am happy to say that while I am willing to give people the benefit of the doubt and am willing to give an offered solution sufficient time to bear fruit, in the end, I will not work at a place that I'm not proud to be a part of.

I left my job on September 13, 2006. I'd worked at the place for two and a half years and was loved by my clients and their families. I wasn't loved by the supervisor of another shift and our mutual boss due to personal issues that should never have entered into the work place anyway. I tried talking to the supervisor, our boss, and her boss, but I each time I found myself in a worse situation. The message they were sending out was clear - don't make waves.

I'm no longer making waves. Instead I'm working for people and with people I respect and I'm proud of myself for having the courage and backbone to walk away from a dysfunctional situation and not look back. During the past few months at my former employment, I was having trouble writing and enjoying other things that meant a lot to me. Now, that I've escaped that tyranical atmosphere, I feel better and am more productive than ever.

This experience has taught me a lot but most importantly, it's taught me that I have every right to respect myself and take care of myself and that I don't have to stay with abusive people due to fear of what problems I may encounter by leaving.
