Long story short, my dad's an asshole, left my mom when I was 2, always was an asshole. I go off to college, got arrested over 2 years ago, put on 3 year probation a year ago (for that arrest) and I'm doing my time and just got a real career kind of job with salary and benefits and life insurance and a huge opportunity to turn my life around.
He and I don't talk much. He just IMed me out of the blue and this is our conversation thus far:Quote: Asshole wants to directly connect. Asshole is now directly connected. Asshole: IM me back
Auto response from Me: Emily tries but misunderstands, ah ooh She's often inclined to borrow somebody's dreams till tomorrow
Me: hey Me: what's up? Asshole: How are things going for you? Me: Pretty well actually. I got a real job Me: I'm doing tech support for a company, and soon I'll be the only on site IT Guy Me: How about yourself? How're things? Asshole: That's great - how is everything eles going Me: everything else is fine Me: I'm going to be making enough money to save up and start taking classes again in august Me: and my probation stuff is just goin by as best as it can Asshole: What's going to happen? Me: I'm on probation for 3 years and then after I finish it gets expunged Me: but I've already done about a year Asshole: What county is this taking place? Me: [county name] Asshole: What school are you looking at and will your probation have any effect on this? Me: GPC, GSU, and I'm not sure but I will have to ask my probation officer. Asshole: What does summer look like foe you? Me: I have a real job, so I'm going to be working M-F 8-5.
Not even a congrats or inquiry about it or even the acknowledgment of "wow, you're turning your life around."
What an asshole.
