Stupid is as stupid does
She calls, gets “The Music”, which means the ex isn’t picking up her phone again. This was about 2 or so. I was kidding with Jess that the ex will call back later, and say the same thing she says everytime I call…..”I saw the phone number with the area code of 316, and a kansas call, but I didn’t answer because I didn’t know who it was…” I was only sort of kidding because at least the past two times I’ve heard this same exact line. I almost thought that maybe I wouldn’t hear this again…but guess what, she read the script off her wall…
You know, if I had changed my phone number ,ever, in the past 1.5 years, I’d understand, sort of. It’s no secret that I live in KS to anybody, as far as I know.
Hell, when my daughter was here last summer, and the ex called damn near every god damned day to tell her how great it would be when she comes back home to the land of roller-coasters and lollipops, I figure that would burn my phone number into her memory, both mental and muscle.
Either way, it’s no real secret as to why she does this. She calls back after little girl is in bed, so that I don’t have the opportunity to talk to her. This theory proved fact last night when she called back night. said little girl is in bed, sorry…but said, well, I guess she’s still up and heard me say who I was calling, she wants to say hi. Just another casualty to proving to daddy candidate #34 that I’m not doing everything I can…anyways.
Stupid is as stupid does. I know I’m just complaining here, and I mentioned quite a while back that I would not do this about the ex anymore, because it’s fruitless. This is still the same, I just thought it was funny. Funny that she either a. thinks that I’m that dumb, or b. she is.
I get the impression that she hires on her annual candidates because they’re not so smart, or at least not perceived to be. I can’t say that I’m the smartest man in the world, but I’m not dumb. I’m fairly comprehensive in my analysis’s, fairly critical in my thinking and listening. I think, however, that the ex still thinks that because she got me to fall for her story that I’m just still one of the fish in the candidate pool.
Ahh, no worries. It’s trivial at best why I’m complaining about this. I just think it’s funny that I’m supposed to fall for this same line this many times. A year and a half ago, understandable….after her phone as dialed my phone by one way or the other probably 100-150 times since then, not so…
The boss is going to start questioning you after you’ve had to miss work after having 10 grandparents die you know …..
