That moment when,,,

Last eve, Cozzie decided to strike out and push some limits. Three of Bad Neighbors Dawgs were running through the woods near my place (not on my property, but close) and headed up hill towards my water tank. Cozz took off after, me yelling for him to come back, unheard, unheeded, totally ignored.

20 minutes later, he returned: Complete defeat written large across his normally smiling Pittie face, cowed, head lowered, tail between legs

and bleeding.

Poor sap got his ass kicked, several places where he has leakers, nothing life threatening, but quite tender. Reminders to him for the future, “Don’t take on PACK by yourself”. He’s now curled up near the fire, looking every bit of depressed and despondent, refuses to even go onto the porch. We’ve been here once before, last time he got jumped and shown up. It takes a few days for him to get his mind back in the game. Getting a twuck ride and a bribe from Arby’s might help a bit with that. (did last time.)

I’m home bound again. Text came in late last eve to stay home today. What I WANT to say,,, Well, I didn’t even respond to the text for one. Better to say nada in this case, at least to the Bosses,,, but loyalty goes both ways,,, and they are losing.

I’ll get by, I always do: may be a bit tighter than I like for a spell, but the end result is usually better.

Today, I spend even MORE money on something,,, I’m going to the sign place and having business cards made and see about getting the signage on Bloo for Mobile Auto repair and Handyman. I was holding off on this until I had paid Son of Bossman back for the loan, but now,, NO,,, I have to watch out for number one and I could care less about LOYALTIES at this stage. I think I’m justified.

I don’t know how real it is, but in the past I was taught something about “Employer obligations” and that the employer is nearly as obligated to certain things as the employee is. One of those obligations is making sure the employees are EMPLOYED,,, and if you can’t do that, you WILL lose them to those that can employ them. I understand that weather makes certain jobs undoable, but you find something else, you keep the ball rolling, or you compensate in some manner.

Not all of us out here are getting a check on the side from Uncle Sugar.

Well, That ball I have been toying with the last three months gets kicked onto the field today. It may take time to really get put into play, but today, its gets put out there.

Unlike Cozzie, I don’t let depression force me into hiding. I know I got my ass kicked: now it’s time to find the culprits single and solo and give’em some what-for. The culprit in this case is me, being timid and demurring to an employer. Nuff’said.

No, I ain’t mad, not even angry. Disappointed is more the score here.

I’ll get by.

If’n you are feeling generous, a little tip in the jar would be highly appreciated right now.(Mike in FLA, NO, Leave it, you already tipped this month!!). Not bleggin’ just blogging’ and could use a hand to keep afloat for the time being.
