Cicero

So I got fired today, and I was immensely relieved. I shouldn’t have opened my mouth and said I didn’t really need the job so much because I’m already working somewhere else fulltime. I walked out of the place almost excited. I told everyone this lame excuse that I needed the extra money to pay for my divorce, which ultimately I do. But in all actuality my original motivation for the second job was to get out and meet new people. My relationship with my ex-wife was a horrible destructive and chaotic environment that no matter how hard I tried to make it a welcoming, stable environment she would just trample over my efforts. So the marriage counselor I was seeing encouraged me to go meet new people because I traded in all my friends to try and concentrate all my efforts around preserving my failed marriage.

So here I am, stuck home alone on a Saturday night and can’t even get any old friends to commit to an outing to have a little fun. Amazing how I turned that around completely from a happy post to sad and riddle with my hopes for pity.
