16. It is an interesting conundrum, isn't it?

You know you are a good person. You know you have never had issues in the past with making friends and being around other people.

Yet, suddenly, now we are shunned and ignored whenever possible. It is so strange to me. However, I do have to say this. Making friends with a rich person is problematic because they usually (I said usually, not all the time and not every rich person) have no concept of any kind of life other than a privileged one. Take it from someone who made the same mistake.

I hope you can find someone that works better for you. They are out there, although at times they seem to be everywhere but where I am!

(One incident with this person was the day they wanted us to go with them to their cabin up in the northern part of the state. My husband works during the days this person wanted us to go. When he told the person this, that person offered him $500 to take the entire weekend off and go to the cabin. (That is like one day of work for him.) We told him that we could not do it unless he paid the entire amount that my husband was going to lose and a written agreement that, once my husband was fired for talking off all those days (this company is trying to get rid of my husband because they don't like his presence reminding them that they screwed him over, despite the fact that he is one of their most knowledgeable and senior employees), that the person would sign a contact that said that they would pay what my husband stands to lose over taking the trip. Which means getting the pay he was getting for working there until he is able to find a new job. Understandably, they did not go for this. But, this shows that Daddy Warbucks has no understanding of what 90-some percent of the country goes through each day. It also shows a decided lack of respect for other people as they seem to see us as toys or the 'object of the moment'. I feel you may have dodged a bullet myself, but this is just my opinion.)

HUGS! to you!
