From the photo, they look pretty easy to swim under. Just a waste of money, plastic and rusting metal for posturing more culture wars.

The day after the 2016 election, I sent an email to the guy who contracts most of my services. He’s also one of my best friends. It was in response to a job we were working on, so I cc’d his assistant.

Basically said I was disappointed about the outcome of the election, then got into the job specifics.

From his response, I knew I fucked up. He just said he was glad the election was over.

I never liked his assistant anyways, but I looked up her voter registration and she’s Republican. And she’s totally the Trump type, though I hadn’t thought about it before.

She’s been pretty much on the warpath for me ever since. I provide a great service at a good price, so she keeps me around. Plus some clients know me and would possibly revolt if I were taken off their jobs. I think she’s been disparaging me to them for any misstep that I make.

I suspect she asks me for quotes and gives projects out to anyone who bids lower.

This was never the case with my friend; if I made a bid too low or too high he’d ask me to requote it. Yes,** if he thought my bid was too low, he’d tell me to charge more.**

Not so with this monster. She’s nickle and diming me for everything.

And now my friend’s health has taken a turn for the worse, and she’s in charge.

God I wish I never sent that stupid email.

I’m in the US and I try to avoid the subject as much as possible with people who aren’t my close friends.

Our neighbors are deeply religious, they’ve invited me to go to church with them and read the bible together. I just decline politely without adding an opinion.

The wife seems to be a crackpot, I avoid her like the plague. She’s a Hispanic immigrant but has made some racist comments to me about black people. She also believes some batshit crazy right wing garbage… well, I think the whole family does.

The most annoying thing they do is every week they go to multiple food banks; which is fine, I don’t judge. But the wife is a hoarder and they don’t have room for the new food. Their solution? They give their old food to us. We get cans of food that’s rusty and expired, one bag of rice even had bugs in it.

We’ve tried politely telling them we don’t want or need their food, but they show up every week at our door with it. We just throw it away. But what’s the point? She doesn’t want to feel like she’s wasting food, wants to do a “good deed,” and passes her literal garbage onto us?

Other than that, I don’t really have many religious people in my life. Maybe some relatives but they aren’t deeply devout; I prefer to talk about other things with them.

Once in awhile we get Jehovah Witnesses knocking on our door, but we just tell them we’re not interested. I’d love to be a fly on the wall and see what kind of conversation they have with the crazy neighbors, they’re 7th Day Adventists. And the JW’s are usually a group of black ladies. Do they duke it out on who loves Jesus more? Have a prayer huddle?

If you’re into podcasts, the series “Sold a Story” is really good.

The way I remember it is that the first part of “their” is “the”.

You can also remember it because “they” starts with “the”.

I don’t know if that’ll help but I hope so!

Uh… it’s ok sir, you can just keep the money.
