Industrygothica's "Those Left Behind" [OOC]

[Leif]

That's not an easy question to answer. One if you define "kids" one way, three if you define them another way. Then, there's also the whole issue of how many he may have scattered about the world that he isn't even aware of.....

 

[Scott DeWar]

let me guess...one age wise, ... three if you add him and his wife? (plus those world wide from the ports he visited...?)

 

[Scotley]

how many scottley?

As Leif said, depends on how you count them. I have an 18 year old stepson who no longer lives at home. A 16 year old step daughter and a 3 year old son.

What I really meant was: ONE biologically and THREE including step-kids. I was just having a brain cramp and couldn't think of the right way to phrase it. Duhhh!

Then, there's always the ????? factor leftover from his wilder days, too. But SHHHHHHHH!!, his wife doesn't like to be reminded about that! We sure don't want to get the poor boy cut off!!

 

[Friadoc]

I should be done today, knock on wood, life had kept me busy these past few days, between prepping for an interview, getting stuff in line for a background check, and other lameness for the unemployed.

Alas, all should be good now, plus I'm mostly done, anyhow.

 

[Leif]

I hope that the interview went very well! (Unemployed gamers make me surprisingly sad. Who wudda thunk it?)

 

[Friadoc]

The interview went very well, not only did it last over an hour, with good conversation, but the interviewer made a point about talking about the benefits package (I always take this as a good sign).

The job is very interesting, as well as being back at the Tier 2 level, plus the work environment is casual and the people seem greate.

All in all, knock on wood, I think I have a solid chance at this job, my skill set is a nice match, and I made a very good impression on the interviewer.

but what about the really big kid? (*points to scottly*) that makes 4, right? as far as step kids go, i was raised by by my step-dad. we were as close as or closer then many natural father/ sons. i was even his favorite over his two natural daughters....i miss him lots...he passed away about 12 years ago. so i would encourage yuo to consider your two steps as your own, no matter how many hurtful words may have or have not abeen said.

That's GREAT! Kudos to the Friadoc!

Hehehe, you're more correct than you EVEN imagine!

Good advice! I believe this is not a problem for the "Scotty-one". I also was privileged to have a step-son for a very brief time, when I was married to my first wife. I loved that little booger to death! To this day I miss him infinitely more than I ever missed wife#1. He was so young at the time, though, that I think it will probably be better for him in the long run if he has forgotten me. Life just ain't fair, sometimes, but, oh, well.
