Thanks to Mike's incompetence, I must now spend 3 weeks in July in Dallas.

So my schedule looks something like this:

June 12-14 Portland
July 6-30 Dallas
August 7-14 Houston
September or October, Germany for 6 weeks.
Florida in there somewhere.
Boston again at some point.

You only get 3 days in Portland, and THREE FUCKING WEEKS in Dallas?

Mistake.  Fly in Wednesday night or Thursday morning.  Fly out Sunday.

Cool. I'll be mostly done with school, so I'll be free Thursday and Friday. I have to be in Eugene for the Ford Scholarship banquet on the 14th, unfortunately.

It looks like I am going to let go of my office.

I could keep trying but it's just too much with no help and no support and fucking idiot tenents.

Just once I would like to meet a professional who does the thing they say they will do or keeps their god damned trap shut.

Sucks.  I was just thinking about how difficult it would be to trust having people work for you when anything of import is at stake.  Either it's someone competent, with the capacity to compromise you, or, they have nothing else going on and therefore relay everything that they do.  Sucks.

You'll have to let me know when you're in Boston. If it's August or September it'll be hard for me to get loose from the restaurant but if it's later in the fall or sometime in the winter I might actually be able to make it down for a day.

I'm sorry, Alty. :(

I'm thinking about starting up a new thread for the shit in my head, like I did last summer. I apologize in advance because it probably won't be as nice as that one was.

A neighbour came to the gate of Lord Alty's yard.  The Lord went to meet him outside.

"Would you mind, Lord," the neighbour asked, "lending me your donkey today? I have some goods to transport to the next town."

Alty didn't feel inclined to lend out the animal to that particular man, however. So, not to seem rude, he answered:
"I'm sorry, but I've already lent him to somebody else."

All of a sudden the donkey could be heard braying loudly behind the wall of the yard.

"But Lord," the neighbour exclaimed. "I can hear it behind that wall!"

"Who do you believe," Alty replied indignantly. "The donkey or your Lord?"

One week left in Ireland before I'm an immigrant in the UK.

Good luck, sir.

I know it's pretty much as next door as you can get to any country, but how do you feel about it? Where in the UK are you moving to?

It's going to be weird for a while, it will definitely take some getting used to. I'm moving to Essex, the place we are in seems nice but a lot of it seems kind of rough (fake tans everywhere).

I give it less than a week before someone bitches to you about immigrants taking UK jobs to you.

Actually, 5 days. You're going down south, right?

South East yeah, I imagine so. The funny thing is I'm still in the same job, just transferring to the UK branch.

Congratulations and felicitations on the new appointment.

Please don't let "the tans" get you down, remember, it's just that they suffer from a deficiency of vitamin D. :lulz:

Amazingly, I am not universally popular at my new job.  After leaning on a source a little bit, it turns out one person has the opinion that I am "completely fucking useless" and "will never amount to anything" and additionally I'm a "complete failure".

This charming individual has met me exactly one (1) time, which was my first shift, when I was merely shadowing and not doing anything because I didn't have the required training yet.

Needless to say, I am going to escalate this beyond all proportion.  Partly because I don't like cliques which trade in malicious slander and gossip (especially when it's this boring), partly because I don't like being criticised by someone who is, as far as I can tell, objectively worse at the job than myself, and partly because I'm bored of this job anyway, and I don't care about repurcussions.
