Nearing the end of my "Friday" at work. Soon as I clock off, I'm going to go see Oppenheimer. It's a long movie (3 hours), but I'm a history buff so it should be enjoyable.

I might have to deal with my cousin (and the family dynamic around my cousin) again. Long story short, he had a confrontation with one of his neighbors in which he was accused of (effectively) drunk and disorderly conduct. He has a speech impediment that leads to him slurring his words. Being angry wouldn't help him in that regard either. He could have actually been drunk as well. He'd protest that, but I've seen him very intoxicated before.

The results of all that led to him being sent a "Shape up or ship out." letter as he lives in low income housing. If he actually gets evicted, I will not take him in. The last time the two of us lived together, we lasted a week before I booted him to the curb. That, and he's generally obnoxious and insufferable and patronizing rolled into one.

Thankfully, someone in his sphere is taking up his cause. I'll let them have at it.
