I’m officially job hunting again. I’ll be keeping my eye out for positions within my current company as well…some how, some way, I’m getting the heck out of this position and off of this project. True, I’ve only been here four months but there’s no sense in wasting my time! I am working on a plan and setting some goals (that’s the only way I’ll get anything done LOL).
About a month ago, just a few days after I wrote this post, my mom ran into my biological father. Long story short, the courts found him and were to begin collecting back child support. He petitioned the court to drop it on the grounds of me being over 18. So, they both went to court. Mom told me that they spoke and she now has his work number (which just happens to be a 10 min drive from my apt…ironically I said something to the effect of "he probably lives or works right around the corner but I don’t even remember what he looks like" not long ago) and that he wanted to meet with me to explain why he "wasn’t there." She also told me that I have five half-siblings! I asked my mom to drop the child-support case b/c I’m sure that some of his other kids are under 18 so he needs that money more than she or I…hell, I’m grown now. Here it is one month later and I still haven’t used that number. Sometimes when I don’t know what to do or say I just do and say nothing. The whole thing makes me sad and for some reason I feel like I could’ve lived the rest of my life not knowing any of that information. My mom didn’t bring it up again and neither did I. I talked to Mr. Dad about it and he opined that I should call…pretty much everyone I’ve talked to has said the same. By the time I gather up the nerve he probably will not be at that job anymore and the number will be useless.
