Tough decision

Oh man...oh man. Looks like I just can't catch a break.

Ok, as we know my highly respected teacher in Ju Jutsu of 13 years past away a few months ago in June. As his last gift to me, his will told Sensei McGregor that once things have been settled, I was to be summoned back to the School to receive a grading. Now, I only just had my 3rd Degree Grading not so long ago so I was a little confused to why another grading so soon. Out of respect for my former teacher and the confidence he had in me, my other teachers and fellow Ju Jutsuka, I took the grading.
Mind you, I've not been training for 2 years and not in my greatest form...half way through the grading...BAM!!! An on point punch to the ribs by my grading partner Stuart and I was winded...out for 10mins...when I caught my breathe, my new partner Connor...raised his leg for a right, round house kick...as I tried to shuffle out the way...I inhaled...sharp pain coursed through my rib cage on the right side...saw the kick coming in fast and furious...BANG!!!!

SAME spot...

Ribs are thoroughly cracked.

At least by that time it was the end of the first part of my grading.

My second part was sword work...which I took the following day...Oh boy, woke up the next day with quite the pain...took some pain killers and went to my grading an hour early to see Sensei McGregor...thank goodness for his extra strength pain killers! I went through the Sword work grading without a problem!

Still I had cracked ribs...not great!

So...back to the main focus of my post this time...today at work, one of my colleagues (lets call him "B") got into some disagreement with another colleague (call this one "D") and just storms out of work.
In the middle of a busy service...you do this!? Come on man!! No word, just a look of "watch me walk out this door".

I have no idea to what happened, why it happened nor how it happened...only to see "B" walk out the door.

"B" has put me and himself in an awful position. "B" has been a younger brother to me and we got on well together...but recently in the past few weeks...he has become a different person...it is now difficult to work with him let alone talking to him. "B" isn't the "B" I knew...he's the complete opposite...The company policy has always been, if you have problems outside of work. You LEAVE it outside of work. You having issues AT work. We get work done FIRST. THEN we deal with ths issue.

We don't need coworkers to not cooperating with each other, we're a team! Unless he initiates a sincere apology and shapes up...he won't be let back into the premises. Sadly, if I am not mistaken, in his current mood with his current attitude...that ain't happening.

Which results in a dismissal...

"B"...why won't you tell me what is wrong? What got you so grumpy? What the Hell happened...you know it is closer to the festive period and we need more staff...what the flying fruitcake is wrong with you???

We've given you a few chances and hints...you aren't dumb, I sure as Hell know you picked them up...so why???

Cracked ribs and loss of a brother...if a dismissal occurs..."B"...thanks for the good memories and I sincerely wish you return to your good self again.

Tuesday 18th December

I have been drinking for almost the whole week...about 4-5units a time and have noticed that its not good for me...I can't think straight, I can't focus, I am losing motivation and its getting very depressing. OK, my ex girlfriend has got a new boyfriend shortly after the break up...it hurts. Deal with it better! OK, there's this girl I like but doesn't feel the same...it hurts. Deal with it better! My best friend, Adam, you are an irreplaceable in every sense of the word. Thank you for being there when I needed somebody the most and for giving me good enough reasons to hang on to what is left of my sanity. Now that I've sobered up a little can I realise that I am the one stopping myself from progress of any kind. With the Xmas period round the corner, a few drinks will be fine, then afterwards I'll go 2 months without it and see what happens. During this time, I'll catch up on the reading that I have to do and get my "to do list" knuckled d...

Confused state of betrayal

With great sadness, my gran from my father's side passed away on 8th October 2017. A month later, her funeral was held. At the funeral I saw some of her church friends and other relatives that I had not known before. I learned my gran was more talkative than I knew and enjoyed the church events to gather with her friends. When all was done and her ashes were put next to Granfather, we thought; "this is it, all is done". Little did I know it wasn't. Upon the Clan's arrival at the flat, an "idea" was proposed to withdraw half the equity from the property simply because "the parents lived here for a long time" and it was "(grand) father's idea to purchase this very one". Yeah...please note 2 things...who paid the deposit and who paid for the finances?? Answer: non of you. You cheeky fucks who are my blood relatives ALL lived, fucked, procreated, eat, shit, dreamed and used this place at my father's expense. Y'all want a...

A thought occured

Today, Friday 21st of December 2012 and predicted day of THE END...What have I done on this eventful day so far? In the early hours, I had went back to my previous posts, added more information, details in certain areas and checked for anything that didn't make sense. 11:30am, British Time, I turned up at the hair salon for my wash, cut and dry appointment. I know this sounds boring so far but bare with me...my usual stylist was as lively as ever, Kayleigh is her name and she amuses me with her tales of weekends and antics that she gets up to. The conversation then headed towards the subject of her attracting males that have mental problems to a certain degree or ones that seems good, hooks up with her and then spilt because the guy has a psycho partner ready to kill Kayleigh! I asked her if she's been doing anything different? No was the answer, she has the same group of friends, they hang out in the same place, they do the same things and the only slight difference is,...
