Today was something new and different! So this morning once again he gets up at 4AM and should be out the door by 4:15 to get to work on time. Nope. Got up on time and got dressed and then re-set the alarm. Gets up about 4:40 (he was awake the whole time) and is out of the house at 4:50. Okay so he might be taking an hour of sick time (he did that last week on the day he actually DID go in) or he might just be lessening his time that he has to drive around waiting for me to leave before coming home. Who knows...it's a crap shoot! Then 10 minutes after he leaves I hear a car door slam outside. I am guessing this is him returning home due to whatever made up issue he came up with today. Sure enough I hear the front door open. I am still in bed and just lay there seething waiting to hear "Oh my stomach is really upset I can't go to work" but he goes to the bathroom and is in there for about 5 minutes and then leaves the house again without a word to me! Okaaaaaay? So if you really are on your way to work, you got so far and then turned around because you have to go to the bathroom really bad and then leave again? Why not just stop at a gas station and go there? If he had no plans on going in I would think he would come home and go to the bathroom and then give me the usual excuse of stomach pains as to why he can't go in. It's just so bizarre!

I had hope on Friday that he went in because he didn't make a call into attendance all day, but checked his time sheet online when I got home and he had not gone in at all. He even tells me when I get home that he came home early to watch a live online presentation that started at 1PM. I said very sarcastically "YOU came home EARLY for a change? That's so WEIRD!" He just said "Yeah I came home early". I almost said "And by early you mean about 7AM?" but I didn't. So he didn't call or text anyone but still didn't show up for work and this is okay? Is he just waiting to be fired? He's not looking for any other jobs and he's not updating his resume (too much work) but he sure likes to complain about hating his job. Even if he did quit and found another job he actually went to, he will never find another job that pays as much as this one does. And if he can't pay for anything now how is he going to pay for anything with a job that pays any less? And he can't be without a job because he has to pay his daughter's medical benefits and pay child support, not to mention pay off the loans he borrowed from the company!

He just seems to be hitting bottom. I mean he seems happy, but he's on the outs with his daughter, he's not going to work and lying to me about it and then he found out on Saturday a high school friend who he hasn't seen in nearly 30 years died of a heart attack at 46. I'm sorry that this guy died but you haven't seen him in forever and you were friends on Facebook but you barely connected on there. He actually said to me "I don't know if it's me or my job by in the past 5 years I've lost my dad and now this makes 2 friends, plus I'm on the outs with my daughter." How does ANY of this (people dying!) have anything to do with your job?! It's like he is finding any excuse possible to blame things on his job. Then after he gets this news about his friend he goes to me 'What would you do if I died" and I said I didn't know. He goes 'You'd probably rejoice that I'm no longer draining your savings!" Then yesterday we saw an ad for a dating website and he goes 'Oh you've probably been on there a few times trying to replace me huh?" He knows I'm fed up with this crap and he knows I pay his share of everything because he doesn't work but seems to see the whole thing as a joke.
