Today should be his fifth day of work this week and he hasn't gone in at all. He's had a check waiting there for him since Tuesday but won't even go in to get that even though he has negative in his bank acct. He got a letter from our bank yesterday and he didn't tell me what it said but the only time he gets those are when he's overdrawn. He's had two Amazon requests cancelled due to not enough funds. I even saw his exorbitant lie to his coworker on Facebook saying that he was in a minor accident last weekend and mashed up his knee and tweaked his back and that his knee is fine now but his back is killing him and that he just got back from a physical therapy appt! Every time he takes these weeks off it's a new story about how he hurt his back somehow and he's always going to physical therapy when he's never been in his life!

Now telling me a few days ago that maybe it's time for a new thing and he'll be a cook in a restaurant. That idea lasted half a day. Now last night tells me that he hopes he gets this sales rep job even though they won't even be doing interviews for a month or two and says that maybe he could get a job at one of the pot shops in town and sell pot ( it's legal here) while waiting on an interview. I just about cried! He is moving down, not up, and there is no way I would tell ANYONE that he quit his job to sell pot! Why can't he just go to his current job like every other adult does, even if it's boring? My job, usually busy from March to October, is in its slow season and I go everyday even when I get bored easily and the hours drag! Somehow he thinks he has the right to do whatever he wants and every damn time he gets away with it. He's done this in every job he has but somehow manages to never get fired. And he's not actively looking for another job, just talking about all the possibilities while not going into his current one. Oh he may look at Craigslist for 10 minutes but then go play his video game for 3 hours because applying for jobs is hard! Not going to his job and moping and complaining about his current job is much easier!

Meanwhile his debts pile up and his daughter just sent him a bill for $400 for her quarter tuition. And we've got a $485 monthly deduction from the IRS because he stupidly withdrew $40000 from his 401k plan two years ago not realizing there was a penalty, even though I told him there would be. The money comes out of my bank acct because there would never be any in his and I'd be just as at fault if we didn't pay. So I am pretty much paying the entire $6000 penalty when it was all HIS fault.

My birthday is the day after Christmas and all I wanted to do was go see a movie and maybe dinner but we can't even do that because he doesn't have a penny to his name because he won't go get his check and my birthday should be the one day out of the year I shouldn't have to pay for anything!

Merry Christmas and Happy Birthday to me!
