HOORAY! Now that the new ME3 patch has downloaded, I can launch the game because it just crashes instead.

Financial year end.

And I'm being audited.

It happens every year, and every year it makes me consider changing career.

Gods I need a drink :-/

Saw something about asian music, remembered this song from the LoL IPL4 commercials, the fact that it's so catchy depresses me.

[worry]

I love that song.

Well the head office has done it again. They've "incited" our manager to leave. we have no backup no assistant manager. In sort we're screwed.

Ugh, my office sorta did the same thing with my former boss and now everything has begun to float down shit creek. Since she left in December it's slowly and steadily gotten worse and we have no indication that another boss is close to being hired (or even that they're still interviewing people). So all I can say is good luck and...keep your head down.

My groove is still fucked up because my first day back was even crappier than I thought it would be. I did two and half days of work - in terms of volume - today alone, plus I didn't even stop to eat lunch so by the time I got to leave I was in an epically bitchy mood. And then I got rained on as I was coming home from the grocery store. Oh! And I found out one of my so-called friends has been acting really shady and kinda sorta lying to my face so yeah...not a good day.

CRUSHING DISAPPOINTMENT to find that the two neatly boxed packages sitting on my desk are not, in fact, two copies of the limited edition of Deadhouse Gates (one for me, one for Luci).

They were iPad 3s.

I WANT MY BOOK, SHIARA!!!! The suspense is KILLING ME!!!

Damn subpress for not updating my address despite the fact I sent a change of address request TWICE in the last 6 months.....CURSE THEM!

Ugh.

Like my week wasn't causing me enough stress.

So Mrs. QT's sister...who only moved out of the Condo they shared (which their mother owns, and which I now live in) in basically the last month or so...wants to be married and have a kid before she's too into her late 30's (she's going to be 35 this summer), and has recently learned that her bf (who she moved in with) might have been looking at a longer term before having kids (he may have said that he wanted to wait until he's 38)..and she's not comfortable with that since the longer a woman waits to have kids, the more chance of physical stuff going on with both child and mother. So she broached the "timeline" discussion with him (he's a man's man, a cop and a military guy) the other night because she'd got wind of this "38" deal and worried. His reaction (as I told her it would be) was annoyed, and he seemed wanting to bolt...I tried to tell her that having kids is probably the biggest decision a person can make...let alone a guy's guy who wasn't' really putting it on his radar yet. So, long story short it didn't exactly go well and she descended further into upset, he didn't call her the next day from work (he apparently usually does), and she feared seeing him that night after he got home.

So it's currently a mess.

And unless he comes around and agrees to kids in the next 2 years or so...she's going to walk.

She's also going to have a kid on her own if that happens....while she's still struggling to get her business going as well....so single parenting...and new business. I've attempted to tell her that this is a decidedly poor idea and is going to cause either her upset, or the kid will get neglected...to no avail...she's been set on wanting kids soon for a really long time.

She accepts that she made a mistake and SHOULD have talked "timeline" with him when they had the "kids" talk...which he wants...but not yet.

Anyways, so last night Mrs. QT asked me how I would feel if the sister had to leave him and if she could then move back to the condo in such a situation.

This after FINALLY getting to live on our own together after 4 years of living apart and dating (It's been a month so far).

Remember their mother owns the condo and come hell or high water if she NEEDS a place to stay, she'll be coming back to the condo and what I say won't matter a hill of beans.

While I don't like the idea of relinquishing a freedom that Mrs. QT and I have now, I also can't help but feel bad for the sister and wish to help.

But she and I are equally stubborn and oft times we butt heads...and it made for awkward confrontations while she still lived there before. On top of that she'd be bringing her stuff back (which now includes a brand new couch, bed, bar stools, two bookshelves full of books)...though Mrs. QT said she'd have to put that stuff in storage because we just bought a bed and put it in her old room and my bookshelves and books and furniture are taking up the space now.

So I guess it would be mainly just her living there with us. I'm not sure how to feel to be honest. It's a shitty situation and part of me wants to say "You made your bed, and it sucks but you have to find a place to live on your own" and the other (more kind part of me) wants to say "Yeah, it's what's gotta be, we'll deal with it". I'm sure it wouldn't be forever, but the sister is notorious for taking forever to do anything in her life, so I'd be afraid I'd be living with my gf...and a roommate...which was what we were trying to get away from as we were trying to properly start a life together.

It's an unmitigated mess...one in which I don't win at all. I can't tell Mrs. QT no....partially because with the mother owning the condo I have no final say, but mostly because Mrs. QT and her sister are very close and if I made a statement like that it would cause a huge rift between me and her. So if it happens, I basically have to accept it and do my best to live with it. Which I don't like having to do. Not living with Mrs. QT for 4 years was tough enough, but to get to finally do so...but have it be mere months and the sister moves back....is really unfair to me.

Like I said, there has only been one baby convo between the sister and her bf so there's more discussion to be had and this option is only a last resort, but it's seriously fucking with my groove in a week where my groove is already seriously messed with.

Sorry for the rant. I had to get this off my chest.

[rhulad]

Messing with my groove is the fact that my Wife just found out her next nursing practicum is 4 weeks instead of 2 which means she won't be working for 4 weeks and therefore won't be paid during that time.

I think you need to look into exiting the condo at some point in the next couple years - before the kid drama really goes down. Note that I am not saying "Flee the condo now." Just that if there comes a time soon where it's getting to be too much drama, you have already contemplated the options and can move on them relatively quickly.

It's not that you hate the sister or can't stand the hold the mother has on the condo, it's that you want the freedom to be able to say "Yes" or "No" without having the override hanging over your head.

Or hold out for the sister to adopt an anteater or teacup pig. That might satisfy the kid cravings....

Agree with amph here, have an exit strategy in case the sister moves back to the condo.

[tiam]

QT- Yeh think about moving away from a condo. No matter what happens in the sisters life that will always be her fallback plan and as youve said its her mums house so you have no say in it and also the fact she wants kids and a business. You dont her to be stuck in a situation where shes living with you while getting her business going and trying to have a baby.

Also yeah definitely dont tell the missus, take it on the chin and be as supportive as you can of both Mrs QT and the sister as its a inevitability shell come into contact with you both again. maybe try and see it as a fresh start and stay out of her relationship as, while your giving good accurate advice, youll possibly end up living in a house with a woman who blames you somewhat for her relationship falling apart when you were only trying to help.

Groove- Gym was ok but the Bench for 100 was 5 3 3 2 2 which is wank. Even worse the two guys id met and had just started training with for strength stuff let me train in hte middle of them and I was the only one who stalled. Not even a pride thing just fucked off at myself.
