Ooh, he went to work for 2 days in a row, very begrudingly, and now has his 2 days off. Yup he had NO repercussions for not going into work for 1 1/2 weeks. In fact, he said everyone asked him if was finally feeling better after being in that minor accident he told them he was in that was keeping him out of work! Who in this world never loses their job after being out for weeks at a time, not calling in and with made up stories??!! How does he get away with this EVERY time?! He keeps complaining about how he likes his job but hates the BS that goes with it. He says even in the slow season he feels like he does more than anyone else or deals with a customer and tells them the service they want is going to be xxx dollars but then the owner comes out and tells the guy the service is half that amount and makes H look like an ***. It's always H getting the **** end of EVERYTHING. EVERYONE is out to get him. Oh and he sees nothing wrong with being out all that time because he was trying to figure out what he wanted to do for a job and I should understand that!

He keeps telling me all these other things he'd rather do like work as a cook, which lasted a day; work in a pot shop selling pot, which lasted a day; he applied for a job at his old company which he continually tells me he's glad he no longer works there because it sucked. So why did you reapply there??!! He has a draft in his email for a job as a machine operator, but it's been sitting there as a draft for 3 days now with nothing written in it and I'm sure he's never going to write anything or send it. The job is probably no longer listed! He keeps telling me how he needs to look for another job and how he IS applying for other jobs, but he's not. He applied to the one at his old work, but that's the only one. He just doesn't have the patience to LOOK for another job. He wants one that is just going to fall into his lap. No resume or application needed, because that's hard! I basically had to alert him to the current job he has because he wouldn't look.

Now last night he tells me he's going to talk to another guy at work and see if he can work in that dept. instead. If he says no, then he's going to ask his manager if he can just bring his tools and work in the back as a mechanic. If he says no to that then he's going to ask if he can be laid off and collect unemployment. Oh that's brilliant! Collecting unemployment requires more paperwork than working! Where we are you have to still apply for at least 3 jobs a week and show proof to the unemployment office. He just wants to sit and collect unemployment while waiting for this other job to open up which he swears he'll get, but that may not be for a few months. I say to him "So what, will you get like $300/week for unemployment?" He goes "Yeah! (like it was SO awesome) It's better than nothing at all." What the hell is your logic?? You are now bringing home at least twice that much every week and STILL don't have enough to help pay the bills, but you are gung ho to just sit at home and collect unemployment and play your video game day after day.

It boggles the mind. He was home 12 days straight without going to work and he accomplished NOTHING! He did nothing but sit in front of his computer day after day and play his video game. He didn't even leave the house to do anything but get the mail, and half the time didn't even do that! I've been home for 4 days straight and then was home for 5 days straight before that, with a day of work in between, because I was either sick or just so fed up with him not working that I stayed home to protest. I am going absolutely bonkers with not doing anything. I don't go anywhere because it will elicit some smarmy remark from him about how I'm SO bored I have to run off and see the pool boy or something. He has 0 desire to do anything. I look on Facebook and see all these people really enjoying their vacation and going places and doing things with friends and family and here I am sitting in front of the tv losing my mind while he happily sits in front of his computer. I started cleaning the blinds last night because I was so bored and he came out and goes "Are you okay? You aren't going to flip out on me because you're so bored are you?" I went to bed at 9PM on New Year's Eve and he flips out because it's only 9, but he's sitting in front of his computer and I had gone nuts sitting in front of the tv and even goes "Well I know you're bored". He knows just how bored I am but still doesn't want to go out and do anything. We did nothing for Christmas, nothing for my birthday and nothing for New Year's Eve. If I tell him that we never do anything he'll snap right back and me and go "Well tell me what you want to do and we'll go do it!" No we won't. There are several things I have brought up to you in the past which you think are silly or else you agree to do them but when the time comes you don't want to. That's why I never ask to do anything anymore.
