Decision Time

Well the other shoe dropped today when I went over to receive the pittance scurrilous rat allowed me to keep from my pay check (which was about 10 per cent). He offiically acknowledged the case had been lost and the properties were shutting down as of Feb 29. He alos said the property where I reside would begin shutting down starting this Sunday. He wanted me to be on the lookout for residents stealing his property as they moved out. Like I should have his best interests foremost in my mind (yeah right). He did offer me a job in Shreveport at the property there saying come and talk to him if I was interested. I don't know if I should trust him to be fair with me or not. On the one hand it would solve the problem of where I am going to end up and on the other it might just be more of the same old shit. I talked with Gal Pal about it and she thinks it might not be so bad an idea to at least see what he is offering. She said that it might not be a chance to escape the malaise that I have been going through here in Big D. She thinks being here so close to my family which does not so much care for my presence has a tendency to inhibit my actions. I tend to agree with here there as I spend a lot of energy trying not to upset the family apple cart and beating myself up because of the fractured relationships therein. Maybe it would be good for me to get out of town, maybe not. What do you guys think? Do you think I should take a chance with scurrilous rat and move to Shreveport or do you think I would be better off seeking an alternative here? It is a conundrum that has me gripped in inertia and causing widely varying mood swings. For sure no one is beating a path to my door to recruit me for their company yet I do not know if I should just follow along with scurrilous rat because I have no better offer on the table. All I really know is time is short and a decision has to be made quickly. Please post your thoughts and advice in the comments or email me at gerrym0527@yahoo.com. I welcome any and all suggestions.

I have some great photos for today's eye candy section taken from recent email submissions and my wanderings around the Internet for you viewing pleasure. I have to work from 3-11 so I wanted to get this posted before I have to go in. Until next time as always, Enjoy!

Hmm, this is a good question. On one hand it is problematic that you refer to this person as a "scurrilous rat." On the other hand, he is offering you a place to go. You know his M.O. and what he is about and isn't. Most likely you could always return to D. Going away often gives us perspective. Ultimately, it is you who needs to decide and knows what is best for you. close your eyes and ask the question, what is the first answer that come to mind?

Great pics! And I think you should at least go to Shreveport and see what's being offered. What can you lose? You might discover that you like it better than Dallas--especially if you think being near your family is contributing to your malaise.
