Saturday came and… I didn’t feel like getting out of bed at all. The protest sign was made, the day was there, but… fuck it. I’m being investigated because my government gives Sovereign Citizens power? And the best most of my office could do in response was “Sucks to suck”?! Fuck it all. No. I’m staying in and sleeping or drinking or doing whatever the fuck I want to do because clearly trying to do anything for others is a bullshit game that drains me without ever actually giving me anything in return!
Then Sunday? I was resolved to at least do the date. Sure, maybe my mood wasn’t the best from all this shit; but if life was going to dump on me… I might as well make sure not to throw away the chance at a date… I mean, even the chance of a date has been rare this year.
First text: My mom is sick, can we push the date back to 3?
Sure. No Problem.
I get in the car around 1:30 to make sure I can be at the agreed upon place on time. At 1:44, I get another text: My mom isn’t feeling any better and I don’t feel right leaving her. I’m sorry I think I have to cancel.
Sure. No problem. It’s important to take care of your mom.
Then I turn the car around and just go home.
I skip the meeting at 6 because… giving more of my time and energy to a political cause? Right now? My State is literally taking a Sovereign Citizen at his word.... when no judge or attorney in their right mind would meaning that my Government is just fine with using less educated people to persecute the more educated people..... and when you consider Iowa’s government of late, that makes absolute sense! Why have educated people with experience or expertise? We’re MAGA which requires us to hate science, distrust experts, and literally follow even contradictory conspiracy theories because an Orange Dementia-addled self-obsessed toddler is our new God… apparently!
My mom called and made a reference I have never heard her make; but was not only spot on but literally Batman.
She asked if, since I wasn’t doing the things I was going to do this weekend, if I was retreating back into my cave. Which yes. That’s what I was doing. But the way she said it was very Batman which may be where I even picked it up. When Bruce experiences a major professional (Batman= Profession) set back, he spends more time in the cave, neglects personal responsibilities and broods while obsessing in the dark. Sounded familiar.
So, we’ll see what happens. The weekend was a complete and total bust. Absolute failure. No success or progress achieved. But… I’ve got all week again! And I have to work the weekend Court Shifts coming up so.... give more of my time and energy to the job that… clearly doesn’t give a shit about the caliber of my work or who even sits in my chair.... just that someone is sitting in my chair.... as our office still hasn’t been fully staffed this decade!
