I was blocked!

I was on Instagram doing a spring-cleaning recently. Unfollowing people, organizations, etc., that I wasn’t paying a heck of a lot of attention to any of them. All that extra “chatter” was making me miss out on the people and places I cared about.

In a hurry, I had accidentally deleted a work buddy and I will be damned I did again.  YIKES! I tried to find this work buddy, but there was no sign of this person on Instagram. Period. Nothing, zero. I emailed this person embarrassingly telling of my dumb ass mistake. Did I get a reply? Hell no!

I thought this person wasn’t much of a social media type anyways and assumed hat they just called it kapok. I gave up searching for my work buddy.

Then one day I noticed a person at work was suddenly on Instagram after months gone by and this person telling me to request to follow.

Then I got it. My work buddy blocked my ass. Did my work buddy block me cuz the “work person” was suddenly online? I know my work buddy wasn’t entirely buying the good ol’ friendly friend at work facade this person  presented. However, I was sucked into that display of friendship since it was so stressful at work.  So hell yes, welcoming a smiling face amidst the chaos was joyous.

I’ve never been blocked. I’ve never known that I was intentionally blocked. Why would my work buddy block me? Sick of me screwing up hitting unfollow twice? Tired of me being a dumb ass? Was it because that work person would know my work buddy’s business being connected to me? OR was my work buddy really not my buddy any more and didn’t want anything to do with me?  Why?

Was it because I got out and didn’t tell my work buddy months before my last day announcement?  I hinted many times…

I did tell my work buddy a couple of days before since this person was taking time off and wouldn’t be there. Did my work buddy just not like me anymore and had no time for me?

I always thought we were friends. Friends in the work place. A comrade I could talk shit to that pretty well agreed about most circumstances that were happening at the time.

I just don’t get it. I guess I should get it. I was blocked. Blocked from my work buddy’s Instagram account. He just didn’t like me anymore. Nothing was said, just thrown out.

That sucks!

SB 1069, AB2299 & AB2406 in California

I haven’t been doing much lately. Somehow I twisted my foot and damn near 2 weeks I couldn’t walk on it.  Not sure what it was/is, but will find out soon.

In the meantime, I’ve been rather down and out. I’m so angry and mad over the laws Governor Brown signed at the beginning of the year for ADUs. UGH!!! The Governor signed  SB 1069  (Wieckowski), AB 2299  (Bloom), and AB 2406  (Thurmond).

No one takes public transportation. (What was that person smoking that wrote the bill?)  How many representatives of the people live in a neighborhood that has ADUs? I want to research this. My guess is none. I will bet you ten dollars.

All I can say is NOT IN MY BACKYARD and all you marketing spin-doctors can stick it where the sun doesn’t shine.Would YOU want 2 houses on the same lot near YOU? Do you know what this creates? NO PARKING for starters. That used to be a requirement.  Noise level, different sets of people coming and going could be a security or noise problems with the addition of zero privacy. (Already have lived this and it’s no fun)

A friend told me once that your backyard should be so private you should be able to go out in your pjs and not be seen. HA HA. Not true. The investment property owners should be required to be up privacy fences with all the extra cash flow IF they were really involved in the community. They are only involved for one thing and that’s their pocket books. (ka-ching, ka-ching)

I don’t think many people even know these bills passed and that’s what all these representatives counted on. How come there isn’t a web site letting us know this and that bill is up to be signed and what we can do about it? Aren’t these bill writers representing THE PEOPLE? WTF? We get emails left and right about this sale and that product, what about emails that some yuck a yuck is trying to pass to feather their nest or thinking they are actually doing good for the community? Where are those emails? Please tell me where in the hell I sign up. I’m sick and tired of waking up and finding out that the bullshit in my neighborhood is suddenly legal.  I am mad as hell and trying to figure out what actions I can take as a member of my community as I see the quality of life deteriorate.
