Fucking stupid nephew thinking with his fucking stupid little head! He has a four year full ride Navy ROTC scholarship, we're talking room board and books on top of tuition, and all he has to do is four years active duty as an officer. School is in Florida. but nooo, he wants to stay with his girlfriend. She's on a student visa and against my brother's wishes, the SIL has let the girl move into their house, in the basement. ARGH!!!! FUCK! can we say BAD FUCKING IDEA? Fuck!

If he fucking went to Florida, he'd have a fucking career and could provide for her, fucking Weber State is fine, but NOT when you have a fucking prepaid in full alternative! They could even fucking get married! But her fucking family does not want her to fucking marry a gaijin, much less outside of Japan, where daddy is a banker and has social obligations. Like anyone can fucking afford to go to Japan to a fucking wedding. AS for the Neph, I think mommy's apron strings don't stretch to Florida, although she'd deny it in a heartbeat. Fuck!

FUCK! And NO ONE IN THE FAMILY HAS A JOB! If my brother is released by the doctor, he's well enough to go back to work driving a bus, BUT HE"S DYING. He just looks fucking healthy right now, that will fucking change rapidly when he does get sicker. He's already tapped the 401K, but fucking SIL tutors at a school, makes maybe a few hundred a month, but she "needs to take care" of her family and "doesn't want to abandon" the children at the school. If she were Suzy Homemaker, I might buy it, but she's fucking Hannah Health Hazard. I do more fucking housework and that's saying a lot. Fuck!

Oh fuck, I'm pissed. Can you fucking tell?

That is horrible fucked... Having seen this kind of thing unfold before, socialite Japanese girl from wealthy Japanese family (who tend to be more conservative than Reagan) and dumb white guy...

2 scenarios. One, the family will never accept this guy. Girl will wake up, go back to the family, and leave him going "u-h-h-h-h-h..." or she will hit him with "well, you know the type of people I come from, so I expect YOU to support me in the lifestyle I was raised in, even if you work 20 hours a day to do so"...

I hope to God I'm wrong, but I have seen this before. NOthing wrong with marrying a Japanese woman, nor into a wealthy Japanese family, but he oughta realize just what he's getting into (aside from her undies) before he really farks up his life.

It could well be he's her "american boytoy" which will get kicked to the side when she grows up and finds a good, stable, and acceptable to mom and dad Japanese man to marry...

I really hope I'm so wrong with this one...

I lived in Japan for 12 years and worked with fucking young horny sailors. Oh fuck yes, I know the scenario.

Pluses: he has been to Japan to meet her family, they were gracious (well, they would be), pampered him and handed him extra spending cash. Larger amounts than I would give a teenager. He speaks Japanese and so far that's his new major. They've been dating for three years in high school.

Yeah, you are fucking right, she does have the expectation of being cared for, and a 20 hour work day is honorable in Japan. I just hope she doesn't dump him and leave him angry that he tossed a career. She's not all that nuts about being a Japanese housewife, so there is that for good or evil.

Ah fuck, horny young men.

:cry: fuck. i got a subpoena for criminal trial . Case tomorrow postponed untill aug, 31. I might have to leave early for trial...My trailer was stolen 2 years or so ago. I spotted it behind a local grocery last month. The thief is charged with possesion of stolen property. Is there a public phone in Gerlach I might use? If trial is cancelled in two weeks, I can on 30th and not have to packup. I know there is a 5 dollar bus shuttle into Gerlach. Phone?

Oldguy - try calling the DA or whomever issued the Subpoena and tell them you will not be available on the 30th but are glad to make yourself available at a later date. It is generally worth a try. Good luck.

Ask if they can postpone a few days.
That short a delay may not be a problem.

With 40,000 people on playa, those phones will have lines.
Look into renting a sat phone. I don't know how much a single call would be, but I'm thinking you might have to spend the best part of a day off playa for a simple fuckin phone call.

Well, fuck. I get home from work tonight when I get a call from the contracting company saying my contract has been ended and I am out of a job effective immediately.

Here it is, one week until I leave for BRC and this hits. I'm not sure what to do next.

Technically there's still enough money available to make the trip to BRC but yet one line of thought is I should save that money in case I don't find work right away. Plus she's still working so at least we would be able to take care of basic needs for a bit. Yet part of me says what good is that, the event is what I really look forward to each year (sad I know but it is what it is), it recharges me, and makes things worthwhile....

I had no idea this was coming, it was as unexpected as can be. And my girlfriend and I are sitting here trying to figure out what to do. In one aspect it seems easy, stay home. Be responsible. Yadda, yadda.

I could use some advice...not sympathy, but some ideas on what to do. I had something pretty special planned for this year that I'd like to continue with even if I have to scale it back. Damn....I'm in a tailspin. Would anyone care to offer some advice?

2 schools of thought... (I've seen both of these)

Option (1) - You go to Burning man, blow off your life, get heavily involved with drugs, let your life slide down the toilet, end up in and out of jail, living in a broken down car, begging on the corner. You meet your future partner in Ossining State Pen who goes by "Killer"... Meanwhile, Noggan finds a roadside hovel, and reads Tarot for $5 a reading for a bare survival...

Option (2) - You go to Burning man, network the hell out of it, get stoned with this guy who mentioned he was looking for "talent" while sitting in the... um... Iron Rose or something. Said guy ends up offering you a 300K a year job surfing the web and building cool shit, you 2 move to Vail, Colorado, with a winter home in Florida and another in Palm Springs... you end up making shrewd investments in other burners who are starting companies, and retire a multi-millionaire. You buy the Playa from Uncle Sam, buy out Larry at a huge profit for him and the rest of the board, and start a foundation where BRC is run in perpetuity...

What? NOT go? That is NOT an option...

OK, you can not go. If you have immediate prospects then sure, I'd blow off BRC and follow the lead. But ya never know why things like that happen - it could be for something amazing!

Or you go deciding which things you can maybe not get done first and come back with enough energy to deal with it all.
You recover from heat exhaustion as you pack for a dawn flight.

Or is that just me?

Pinemom, your situation reminds me of mine. I was on next week's schedule and everything...

Rather than let it fucking kick me, I'm going to look at the bright side. My girlfriend is still working and she's looking forward to coming to BM with me. She's even put in overtime hours (and a bunch of them at that) to make this trip happen and she's not inclined to cancel the trip over this setback. She's known me off and on for almost 6 years now including my online and blog antics so she's familiar with my post-BM bounce....the emotional, kick ass and take names move any fucking mountain bounce I always get. She wants to tap that...and thinks it will help me if I'm out trying to find work...possibly something in a new field of work even.

I gotta admit the job I had was ok but I was working for a manager with barely 1 year's management experience and it showed. She micro-manages yet she had skipped my weekly 1 on 1 meeting for the past 5 weeks. She wasn't even capable of addressing building access control issues so I could get through Protection and into the facility on time...despite verbal and written requests for help. She was the ultimate girly-girl...one of those if I have a flat tire I'll stand out beside the road and show some T&A and I'll get a guy to stop and help me. Yes, she literally stood in front of the entire work group and said exactly that. She came in telling us about her drinking stories like last week where her family members got assaulted on the front steps of her house at 3 am because of drinking and mouthing off... she was a real character. Just knowing I never have to talk to her again is a very uplifting feeling.

I was also very bored with the work itself...I have over a decade's worth of experience in my field and this position didn't take advantage of it at all. It paid good but it was empty, non-worthwhile work. I was hoping that post-BM I could come back and find a job that better used my talents and pushed me towards updating my skills and becoming better. Those plans just got accelerated...

I don't know what the future holds but everything happens for a reason, when one door closes another one or three are opening, you just have to look. The universe knew I needed a change, and it looks like it picked the right time to say hey, I get it, you want change, here ya go. So rather than whine and bitch I'm going to smile, be happy, and start packing for BRC. I gotta keep thinking positive and not put anything negative out there so I'll just leave it like this. C-ya there!
