entitlement.

yeah, good word.

in my exes defence though, she worked hard and made sure the kids were well looked after.

she still does.

what she doesn`t realise is that she`s crashed a part of her children`s lives that can`t be repaired.

and for what?

a pile of bricks and a bank account?

a fair portion of which she`s going to have to give her lawyers.

which i warned her about.

she said i was a liar.

she`s written a number of cheques so far and the big ones are coming

i told her that i would negotiate without the lawyers and she said i didn`t have a case, so not to waste my money.

yet here we are.

i said that the only ones who were lying (or not telling the whole truth....) were her lawyers, which has worked out considering where the judges actions have taken this so far.

so we wait until april and round three, wherin a judge makes a determination of a non-binding variety.

this gives both parties in the case a fair idea where the next judge, the one in civil trial, will go.

which is what i wanted to do a year a go.

(shrug.)

entitlement.

good word.

yeah.

i am an analyst of human behaviours.

lawyers and exes are humans, as much as they do thier best to not be, and so they begin to behave in predictable ways over time.

they talk....she eats.

precisely.

i told her that.

but she had fallen in love with her new knight in shining armour.

she`ll find out.

she`s playing a hard game of "scorned."

when i saw her body language with her lawyer in the courtroom i had to laugh.

silly bitch.

barista....the word merely encapsulated the tone of the whole endevour. your care and concern has been evident from the start and i appreciate your comments.

a major part of my work is in using words, so when i hear the right one i focus on it.

i needed to see the entitlement perspective. the sheer cocky arrogance of someone supported by a narrow polarised view.

as my aunt kathleen would say.....

there`s going to be tears before bedtime.

Barista: Yeah I guess I was generalizing, I've seen some horible stuff and was thinking back
to that when I made my comment.

I'm sure it works both ways.

Dr.Alistair said...

why wouldn`t it work both ways.....

all someone has to have is money and they instantly become prey to sharks.

Dr.Alistair said...

barista.....moral support is vital.

we starve spiritually without it.

eric berne says that it`s a spine lengthening process.

community.

it`s all we`ve got.

hammer......we forget sometimes, in our pain, that there are others going through shit too.
men and women both.

this is a place where we can bang this stuff out and gain a different perspective on our own shit and that of others too.

this has kept me sane as a result.

my meat friends helped too......

skin bags.......those who we have contact with in the flesh.

i love your sense of the ironic.

you still haven`t asked about the handshake induction though......
