The other main issue was scheduling. They knew I was in school but put me for overnights. I hated it but partway through they stopped staying open all night so I figured it wasn’t an issue. Then they reversed that a couple of months later and re-opened all night again. I reminded them I was in school but they scheduled me another overnight. At this point, they had just given me my second review (also late) which I apparently bombed (yet they wouldn’t fire me…) and I was also approaching my final exams which I really needed to do well on… so I basically said eff this, walked in on an off day, handed in a bag with all my uniform stuff, and said I’m done. A good friend of mine in college was a very big man…like 6 foot 6, 290 pounds, all solid muscle, and bone. Tom got started working out with his dad at about age four. He could bench press over 700 pounds and used a chunk of shock absorber coil off a car as a “hand squeeze”. . My husband had cancer we went to his oncology appt he was feeling poorly and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers one nation under God shirt but in fact I love this doctor said he looked worse then he had ever seen in six years we had been going there. He had one of his nurses take us to the hospital through the connecting tunnel. On the word of the oncologist, they admitted him right away. They found that he was septic. The doctor came in and said you are septic you need emergency surgery. You have two choices you can have the surgery in the next ten minutes or you can choose not to have surgery and you will die within 48 hrs. When you are dying they give you the option to live or die. As miserable as he had been he opted for surgery and lived another year. My ex-wife and I had moved in a few months prior. The apartments were okay, but the complex was massive and the units were cookie-cutter. The tenants were very diverse from a cultural and economic perspective. Many worked at Intel down the road and made enough to buy a house after a year or two. Others worked in the service industry and stayed quite a bit longer. For the most part, the turnover was high and people didn’t know their neighbors. It never failed to amaze me the number of idiots who wanted to “prove” themselves in some kind of macho insanity. My buddy was really even-tempered and never tried to start anything, but there always seemed to be another idiot… You need to get the youngest son out of the house and away from the older brother and sit the youngest son down and ask him what’s going on.
