I
He lost yet another good job back in October because he wouldn't get up in the morning and go to work.
It was the rule - they pay their share of the bills, I don't say a thing about what they do with their time or money.
Well, last week I discovered that his share of the bills was 2 months or more past due and the services were about to be shut off. Cost me $700 to pay everything up. He wasn't going to say anything, just let the electricity and water be shut off. The satellite TV and cable internet I don't care as much about. I'd miss them but, you know, I'd be cool and clean.
So, I told him he had to get a job by August 1st or get out of my house. He chose to pack up his computer and what little he has in the way of books and clothes and move to his mother's house in Kentucky. Of course, I had to buy him a bus ticket too.
Now she is making me go to the bus station and wait for the GD bus to come pick him up and take him away. The SIL is just a POS and he is ruining my day.
Thing is, he had such promise, he just got old and never grew up. Poor thing is addicted to the internets and playing games online. He's going to be without his computer for a couple of months until his step dad brings him down here to pick up his stuff. He's going to have to share a laptop with his mom, stepdad, sister, grandmother and step-grandfather until then.
I think the thing I find sad about all this is how easy it went - without a fight, no argument, harsh words, not even much in the way of tears. They hugged each other, said they loved each other, and then he went and got on a bus to leave forever. I mean, there was no sound track to the end of this love affair. Skeeter Davis should have been singing "End of the World" and Willie Nelson should have followed that with "Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain."
