Wow it's been a while. Sorry for that but the new job has kept me fairly busy, this week was "Base Camp" which is where we go to drink the company Kool-Aid and get excited for work. It worked on me, between new strategies and a better attitude about my job, I am actually excited to go to work tomorrow! I've also seen Pacific Rim you can follow the link for my review.

Now that everything has started going well there has to something that enters my life to keep it chaotic.
I'm sure I've expressed in a previous blog that I suffer from "Knight in Shining Armour" syndrome, also known as "Damsel in Distress" syndrome. Essentially if there is a woman in trouble I will start falling for them, and do all I can to "save" them.

Sammi has an abusive ex, the laundry list of things that he hasn't done is shorter than the things he has done. She will never be able to get rid of him due to the daughter they share. I ended up getting involved as my friend who is just her friend was stalked through his buisness page on facebook and subsequently harassed via text message and facebook messenger to the point he was afraid of the what might happen.

I gave him some reassurances and advice and figured it would end there however as he moving some things that were stored at her place and left for the evening she got a call from him telling her that (paraphrasing here) "There goes another one, I always win, you belong to me."
I hate bullies I really hate them, she got terrified and called my friend about the incident to help her get to a shelter fearing he may attack her. She was turned away, more threatening text messages followed. Police were called and my buddy wanted me there to hold him up since the messages now sent to him were part of the investigation, I agreed and then I met her, after the police left I heard the whole story and that was it.
Now I am going to escort her when she picks up her daughter today because she's still afraid of him but since he isn't striking the daughter child services won't intervene as there is a binding court order of custody. Don't ask me why as she is quite in love with my friend who in turn feels nothing for her and to be honest my feelings are likely due to my need to save people so yeah, I'm going to stick my neck out into this situation with no possibility of reward and I have no problem with that. So does that make me stupid or noble? It doesn't matter, I'm sure I wouldn't be able to ignore this even if I wanted to, I guess this is something I will never out grow.

Now that the heavy shit is done NERD HUMOUR!!!


Perhaps continuing to watch Doctor Who is the issue I'm having when it comes to Damsel in Distress syndrome....
