I am simmering.
Without going into specifics, I don't want to relate details, An elder cousin came into town with his young son, for an event with something in which I am fairly experienced. 35 years worth of experience ability and interest in a subject, and was asked to lend some assistance.
I was hardly put very far out to lend my experience, was glad and honored to be asked to do so.
When there, it was more than kind of obvious my experience was not really wanted, needed, nor appreciated, though I did lend some assistance regarding certain parts of their journey and going/ getting to some locations. I was certainly no Hindrance. I am never a hindrance. I make sure of that. Would probably be on my tombstone, if I ever rest under one....'was never a hindrance......'
So after one portiion of their journey, I return to my area, about 45 minutes away, take care of my obligations to friends, line up some future financial matters, and attempt keep in touch via text regarding conditions that affect the reasons cousins were in town for their second portion of their reason for being here
No response. I happen to be house sitting, was told by the homeowners to offer them the 'Guest suite' on a very nice property, and offer it to them.
No response. Relate more relevant info, ask a few questions.
No response.
No response for 6 days now, though 5 days since I tried. They are in the general area for another week.
I am stewing, thinking that I am being blown off for being the guy who lives in/from a Van and skoffs at the material world. I am 8 beers deep and ready to call the elder, and throw out the 'FU's' and 'see you at your dad's or my dad's funeral you sons of bitches, and you better hope I don't lay you both flat you skinny, weak, superficial, venal arrogant bastards.
But maybe their phones got stolen from their rental car.
Possibly irrational anger is great, isn't it?
