Ready, set... rant.

Aside from not having much energy lately the last few days have stressed me out a little. But, that should get better now. Today I had to give a deposition in a case involving a contractor (Mitsubishi Heavey Industries) and the owners of the baseball stadium here. They are fighting over big bucks in a dispute over costs from building the ball park. I'm talking tens of millions. I was supeonaed to appear and give testimony. This is all crap that I have tried to bury for 4 years, and didn't relish having to dig it all back up. Not only from the accident that took the lives of 3 guys at work in a crane collapse, but that my ex (who I'm still trying to get over) got in touch with me after many years right after it happened. So, teres a lot of baggage all revolving around this for me.
When I walked into the room, there were about 10 lawers sitting at a table, along with a video camera. Let me tell you, every last thing you say, they will use to pry deeper into you with. It was like being in a den of lions. They even had daily work reports that broke down what I was doing during the day. This was stuff from 3 or 4 years ago, and I felt like I was on trial sometimes.
I just hope I don't get called into court to testify when the trial gets under way. It doesn't sound like a big deal, but it sucked big time. I just want to forget all that shit. I think the effect it had on me had a lot to do with some of the things that made the marriage go bad. Believe me, they don't give one flying shit what they put you through, if they can use you to help their case.

LEAVE ME ALONE FUCKERS !! :angry:

I'm sure it's tough, but hopefully it will end today and you won't have to go to court

Mitsubishi was the contractor that built the roof part Hunter. Yeah, it kinda sucks, but now that its done I'm feeling a lot better. Just the thought hanging over me that I had to go there and relive all that shit was bothering me. I always try to look at Miller Park apart from the accident so that I can still feel good about all the work I put into it. I do pretty well with it till I have to dig the bad stuff up again.
I remember one of the lawers asked what I did there right after the accident, and I replied "tried to keep my sanity". I think it went right over their heads.

Badger, I don't want you to think I'm making lite of your situtation because I'm not! But if it ever happens again two weeks prior start on tren 150mg/ed. That'll teach um!

Glad you're feeling better too!

Thanks for the good vibes guys. I'm just glad to be done with it. (hopefully). I didn't need that on top of getting ready to deal with the whole reunion thing next week.
LA, I'd love to have just come un-corked on them. :D I remember at one point I made a comment referring to the piece that fell when the crane collapsed, and an opposing attourney interrupted with the objection that it was hearsay because I never stated that I had actually worked on the piece. I wanted to swing him around by his tie at that point. A couple questions later I stated that I had in fact done work on that piece, and there was definately an "in your face" tone to my answer. The f*cking bastard. I was one of the very last people to work on it before it went up, and had a lot of questions for years whether something I had done had killed my friends. Those shits should try living that down for some laughs sometime. It got to the point that one night finally I just collapsed in my wifes arms and cried like a baby. She did her best to talk sense to me, but it haunted me for a long time. But, its all over now and I can move on. I'm a lot better now. Thanks again for all the support I've recieved from the peeps here. You guys have made a big difference whether you realise it or not.
