Listening to: People talking
Feeling: aggravated
Tonights mail call was very disapointing, It was a letter from a woman I've never met but whom has written me before. This lady goes to singles dances that my father DJs for usually on friday nights, although I'm not sure how many fridays a month he does it. Anyway, My father I guess is feeling....well....I dont even know what he's feeling, nor do I really care. See before leaving home we had to sign over our power of attorney to either a wife or a relative, or whoever we thought we could trust to handle affairs for us while on our deployment. So I handed my power of attorney over to my father who has done a wonderfull job of screwing me over and doing nothing for me while I am away. He pretty much has signed my car over to my sister, which he can do because it's in my name and he has my power of attorney. He really hasnt paid off any bills I had since I left. And I wouldnt put it past him if he was taking money out of my bank account or something.
Going home on leave Kate and I purchased an entertainment center for our abode, and we scheduled for the pickup to be made the friday after I had left again....and seeing as the furniture store is in New Hampshire, and the place of residency is in Connecticut....I left the paperwork and the responsibility to go and pick this thing up with my father. And of course he said he would take care of it, and well, a 2 weeks later (the end of November) the furniture place calls Kate's cell phone wondering why we havent even called or anything to go pick up our entertainment center. So I call my father who says "I thought they were supposed to call me first?". Even after I handed him the paperwork and told him exactly what he needs to do, which was wait 1 week call to see if its ready to be picked up and re-schedule a day convienient for you to go and get it for us. To which he replied "I can do that". Almost 3 months later he still hasn't gone to pick it up, I bet he hasnt even called the place. I love having my name dragged through the mud by my own father.
Also, when I was on leave I bought a nice little printer for one of the guys around here who got theirs fried when it got plugged into the wrong electrical source, and so I also left that with my father with complete instructions on how to mail it out to me.....It's not here yet, he claims he sent it out at the end of November, and I've been here for a year and I know the mail is slow, but never THAT slow. so this guy who is one of my superiors and has been expecting this thing for 2 months now, keeps on asking me where his new printer is....which makes me look horribly bad around here like I just cant seem to come through for people. Thanks dad.
All I keep hearing from both my Mother and Kate is my father is calling them and e-mailing them asking if they talked to me recently, because I havent called or wrote him...or even dropped him an e-mail. The one person he hasnt asked is me...and what really pisses me off (and this is going back to the stranger from the singles dances), is that this lady I've never met is now writting me and telling me "your father hasnt heard from me in a while (hint hint)". What a fucking scumbag, He goes to my mother, my wife and even complete strangers to try and find out if I'm mad at him or whatever rather than ask me himself. He can go fuck himself I've put up with enough bullshit this year! I'm starting to cut the BS out of my life, and it's starting with him. It ends (not completely I know) with getting home from this bullshit deployment, and dealing with the fucked up bullshit leadership.
damn I want to get high right now.
He hangs all these signs up on his house saying "support the troops," and hangs your name and picture everywhere...
Sorry to vent, but I've been thinking about this a good deal lately as well.
I love you, and we'll figure it all out when you get home, okay? I wish I could do more right now to fix things.
*hug*
me too man
