I would love to tell you that I came home with my dog on Sunday and got the restful sleep of the recently vacationed. I would love to tell you that. But I cannot.
I went to my parents on Saturday and stayed the night. Saw my brother and his family for a postmortem on the fishing trip and my niece’s first FULL week away at Sleep Away Camp. That was nice. Sunday was.... right before I left, my Dad decided to get on his Pro-MAGA horse. And I, the trial attorney that I am, couldn’t just leave well enough alone. I laid it out logically. He agreed with everything I said as far as how government should work, what government should be, everything. SO… the same father that raised me to respect Rules and Consequences still exists. But when it came to Trump? DESPITE agreeing with me on everything; that was a bridge too far. Things should work a certain way and be a certain way EXCEPT FOR TRUMP which is the part of this fucking cult I simply do not understand! Why in the fuck is it okay for rules and laws to not apply to Trump?!?! For my father? His response? Immigrants and Fags. That was his response. The “evil liberal government opened the border so that every terrorist sleeper cell could just walk right in and instead of protecting God-fearing Americans, the fucking Liberals prioritized the faggots!” He hadn’t even been drinking! This is just.... 2 pm on a Sunday afternoon!! So… laws and procedure and proper government… unless you’re targeting foreigners and LGBTQIA...... as ever- no hate like Christian Love, right?
So, I was pretty riled from that and had to drive home. Got home, unpacked, sorted some things, sat down for some video game time. Around 11 p.m., the guy threatening me over Insta started back up. I will, below, include everything everything that was exchanged. He even called me via Instagram to make sure I couldn’t get any fucking sleep! So… absolutely exhausted I dragged my ass into work this morning, and started with the police office to give them everything I’d received. Then parked for the office and came inside. 500 plus e-mails and 6 voice mails… and that’s with having the kind of coverage I can’t usually get when I’m away! And I know I’m lucky to have what I have for this time. Today can proceed without too much interruption because of the intern, and that is a Godsend! Because I literally cannot today. I am operating on less than 2 hours of sleep, coming off of a long night of harassment, and walking into “WHILE YOU WERE GONE, ALL OF THIS PILED UP” so… I cannot deal with today! But pretty obviously… I don’t have a choice, of course. So… let the Intern take the lead, pray that I can recoup quickly, and press on. Obviously, this is NOT what I wanted to be writing today. I have… all sorts of other shit to write but.... the pressing concerns of the day tend to take priority. And me being exhausted because I’m being harassed is.... today’s pressing concern sadly.
Seriously. I should not be the subject of psychotic harassment at work from Sovereign Citizens just to be the subject of psychotic harassment at home from Complete Strangers! As misogynistic and entitled as this sounds? I’m just going to say it. This is the kind of shit that makes me think Karma is a bitch. Because… why should I have to go through all of this shit and be alone? Seriously when Chuckers was throwing psycho at me; I at least got friendship (and then eventually sexual relations) from dealing with that fucking nightmare. But this? I don’t even have a sexting friend for distraction. Just… time to buy booze, play video games, and watch porn because… dopamine somehow, right?! I’m now paying for more dating apps which hasn’t gotten me any more conversations, matches, or dates; but has gotten me more targeted advertisements for even more dating apps!! It’s just… with this… constant harassment from multiple sources… and this frequent failure in the Social Sphere… and politics being what they are? It does genuinely make me think “Why bother?” Why bother getting out of bed? Why bother going to work? Why bother continuing? It’s exhausting and draining and very much fills me with the Why Bother? which is… really disappointing because after a great show and a vacation, I was originally feeling like, “Okay! Had a break, ready to tackle it fresh! Get some things cleaned up, use my time wisely- I can do this!” and… how quickly and how thoroughly that was decimated!
(AAAAaaand we got that judge for Non Jury Trials today so we didn’t even get started until 2 which meant several cases had to be continued much to the ire, anger, and chagrin of the Defendants. And it’s like… believe me I want to get this finished, too but every defendant is… well, people that are passionately or violently against facing consequences for their actions are going to be passionately and violently against the system in general and guess who I represent to them?
