Dear M,
Today was bitter sweet. I got off the rig today only to come home to frantic last minute moving issues. I have been up for twenty five hours and am very tired. I have dealt with stupid movers trying to steal money from me by not working and attempting to charge me for it. Also, they stole credit card information out of my wife's purse and all this other shit. I am so tired, and I am so pissed off at all their bullshit. But when it came down to confronting them about the issue I stayed away from it for a while, but then reapproached the situation when I was feeling that I was shying away from confrontation and not being assertive enough. I also did not feel I was backing up my wife in this so called fight. So, I stepped it up. Better late than never, eh? I am just glad that I felt the need to change my behavior mid way, and held myself accountable for my actions. It is hard to be the assertive guy and take charge when there is Jay. He is a cop that I am great friends with, but he just immediatly takes charge and I follow his lead. That is just how our tandem works so this environment is very different from the one on the rig where the team chemistry is different. In order to continue with my quest though I will have to be more vocal with Jay. That is how I can be more assertive in his presence. He respects me and my opinion I just have to give it to him and not back down. It is going to be really tough here in the real world dealing with all the already common place tendencies amongst the crew. But today I could have kicked that guys ass I was so mad. He just violated my wife and tried to take advantage of her.......involving MY money that I bust my ass for for three weeks straight. No sir. I don't fuckin think so.
Today though after steppin it up after reviewing my actions mentally, doing everything I could to make Ragen happy and let her know that I am not mad at her for what I had to go through today, and that I was proud of her for all that she had done on top of being cognisant of her feelings before making any actions all the while letting her know when her actions were getting to me instead of being silent for fear of bothering her or making her think I was mad at her. It went well today all around. Work-9 Relationship-9. Goodnight.
