Your prayers have been answered!!!
Some of you guys may remember the back story on all this...but anyway...
Today the roof caved in. My boss' wife gave me the full beat-down and it appears certain that I'll be both unemployed and homeless in pretty short order.
Don't worry, I'm going to give my guitars to someone for safe (indoor) keeping.
But, as many of you have hoped n prayed for, I'll be notably absent from the forum, at least in my usual regular way. I'll try to stop in here n there when I can get my laptop on someone's roof who has wireless (or when I can afford the cafe's around here!!! :shock: ).
So breathe easy. Yer wimmin R sayfe.
It's only a matter of time now... :shock: :evil:

Sorry to hear that :shock:
I hope everything works out for you. Things usually work out for the better. Maybe you will even get one hot chicka and a new job!
Bababoey
You seem to have a good attitude about it all.
Be safe, be good, and keep ur chin up.
Look after yourself mate, things seem to always work out for the better
I hope you don't give her any satisfaction of showing her you give a ratz behind...and don't even look back.
She no doubt will want you back again too. Sounds like the typical controlling and abusive type.
She will hurt you, then try to make it up to you, so she can play games on you again.
I bet she castrated her husband long ago. Turned them into brass clackers.
Let her see how well she can replace you, or if anyone will put up with her controlling BS as well as you have. Good riddance to this creep...Shredd.
Move to Hollywood now...and live your dreams for real. At least go where the women are Bro. :roll:
peace
I know you'll pull through it man
I know it's hard to do at the moment, but better things are out there for you.
What he said (except for the consultant part
Hang in there Shreddy 8) 8)
She probably was affraid she'd leave her husband for you.
I just heard Jenn is comming to Portland to do a movie shoot.
I'll let you have her as my wife doesn't double. Good luck and hang in there. It could just be a blessing in disguise.

x...HAVE FUN DUDE....
I've been saying this. Shredd wants a girl to fall into his lap.
This has been an insanely stressful week and I'm faced with some pretty grave and highly consequential life decisions to make right now, although it seems pretty obvious what's going to happen. It's just a matter of what happens NEXT.
As far as you guys ragging me - BITE ME. It really doesn't matter if you don't care for my sense of humor - or lack of it - or my manner of injecting a little non-GNX related fun into the doings here. It doesn't even matter if you think I'm a pitiful weenie or a loser.
But throwing mud and dropping bombs when things are at their worst for me is just downright sleazy. SO bite my narrow white bu++. :evil:
As to the rest of you - thanks again. It really feels good to get a little encouragement and empathy, and to hear that I'm not the only one who's gone through this and things can, and do, turn out OK. I thank the maker for you all.
<joke>
Well, now that you're unemployed, you might want to set your sights a little lower in the woman department. Get yourself down to the local dive bar, and hook up with the local sea hag.
Supermodels are not looking for spongers.
</joke>
Sorry, your post made me do it.
I think ODannyboy wrote a new song.
qiute catalicious..hmm hmm...hehehe....hmm hmmm
Update - for those who give a rat's a$$...The initial stress and tension have passed, no one's killed anyone, and I've maintained my cool long enough to last the two weeks it's going to take for my boss n his wife to leave for Europe and then NYC for a month. (although who KNOWS what'll happen between now nd then?!? :shock: )
When they come back in the fall, that's when the shee-ite hits the fan. But since they'll be away, I might as well \"milk it\". My compensation is pretty substantial.
In a way, it'd actually be better if they fired me...it wouldn't damage my pull in the feild any, and they'd owe me a HUGE severance package. Well...huge for me. Couch change for them.
Basically, I'm going to tell him that this has become a unhealthy and dysfunctional atmosphere, and unless he sees dramatic changes happening (yuh, RIGHT... :roll: ), then it'd be in my best interests to resign my position.
Something's gotta give. I'm a nervous wreck all the time, I'm not writing music or playing as much as I want to, and I never know when the next bolt from the blue is coming.
His wife is a pretty neat lady...very worldly and together, and as hott as they come...but I've rationalized and tolerated her temper and her -itis's for too long, and now it's starting to be directed squarely on me, which is unnacceptable and she knows it. This might just qualify her as a card-carrying bee-otch, but that's her husband's problem. Mine is whether I want to continue working for this family.
It's a pretty major crisis...it's an amazingly rich gig, with unbeleivable perq's - very hard to give up...but it's starting to wear me a little thin.
What I really need to do is be like one of those Wall Street CEO's who makes a zillion bux, then hangs it all up to travel the world entering fly-fishing competitions (or whatever rich guys do when they're tired of working for a living :roll: ).
As far as you tasteless dregs who've been making jokes about this, I hope your kid gets leukemia so we can all make hair loss jokes. YOU SUCK. :evil:
But what does this have to do with my boss' pscho wife?!? :?
But I know all the answers are in your DNA. I think... :P
...anyway...when you watch a couple hours of Simpsons cartoons on YouTube...everything starts to make more sense....hehehe.
This isn't helping...is it... :oops:
...well...no one expectz much from me. 8) :roll: :arrow:
....you want the TRUTH???
Yeah, I love those lovely women. Better to look at and appreciate than art, me-thinks! And if I could get one to return my phone calls? Mmmm...
The new avatar I have is largely because I'm such a monster RUSH fan (the symbol is one of their famed album images), but also because I'm feeling a lot like that guy does (his story is the focus of the album, based loosely on an Ayn Rand book).
LOOK AT IT...I SAID LOOK AT IT...I'M A STAR !!!
But for all you RUSH-challenged out there, the image represents the intimadation felt by the individual from the oppression of the collective. Buy the album (\"2112\", by RUSH), or read the book (\"Anthem\", by Ayn Rand).
AND - if any of you jeenyusez here understand Spanish, this is essentially how I wish my adorable would-be g/f would feel about me, even if she wasn't a supermodel...

They shot this on location for a TV show, in Banff - that's in Canada, for all of you who aren't dobb...
She's starting to go beyond insulting my professional performance and getting personal, which is unacceptable and she knows it...but I think this is her way of saying she'd rather I wasn't around.
So, it's a battle of her making me miserable enough to quit vs. me sticking it out long enough to have them fork over what would be a substantial severance package.
They're going to be away for a lot of the fall, which will make it easier on me...but I get the feeling Jan. 1st is the drop-dead date.
Unless, of course, they show up at the house, fire me, and give me a week (or less) to get out. They've done it before...I could be next. :shock:
So. Any of you guys need someone to keep your tires inflated or floss your kids' teeth? :roll:
#2: Simply carry a small tape recorder to work with you. I have a digital one that fits perfectly in my shirt pocket, and records 8 hours (I use mine for meetings). Grab one of those (or borrow one from a friend), and just place it in your pocket EVERY DAY you work there. When you get home, you plug it into your computer, and download the audio.
If things get out of hand, you will have a digital record of it. Then march down to a lawyer, and start a lawsuit against them that could actually give you a nice moral boost, and possibly line your pockets for a while.
I would do this.
#1 - You said a mouthful. I'd REALLY like to have things turn out so that they would dismiss me, rather than my quitting. The severance would be substantial, and would help me make whatever transition is coming. Where I live makes NYC look like a bargain, and if I stay here for any amount of time, I'm going to need it.
#2 - As good an idea as this is - as satisfying as it might be - it doesn't seem to me it'd help me - she's not doing anything illegal, just repugnant. There's no legal infringment on ones' right to be a j@cka$$. Besides, I'd be taking her husbands' money, not hers, and he's a pretty decent guy. Plus the fact that these are zillionaires, they retain the kind of lawyers who lunch on stuff like this. :?..
The good news is that I'm well-qualified to seek another position like this, even if it does mean relocating to a less desirable place to live. I have to consider the tradeoff between quality of life vs. quantity of income. :? The bad news is that positions like mine are pretty hard to come by, and since there's such an interpersonal element to it, I can't just work for anyone. There's got to be a good personal relationship, or the professional one just doesn't work. WItness my current situation! :shock:
