What the Fuck?

I'm sorry I just couldn't think of any other title to give this post other than that. I mean I know there is life and it moves on and that's just a simple fact of reality that everyone on the planet has to eventually learn how to deal with but the fact of the matter is, I can't fucking get with the program here! WHY did my mother just tell me like 20 minutes ago that my dad is GOING to HAVE to move to CHINA to keep his job? Apparently his boss announced this yesterday at their meeting and that means that their firing everyone that works for him and the company (Lenovo) is going to have to relocate their entire base of operations back over to Shanghai which is where the headquarters are. Foretunately my dad is the shit and they want to keep him along with the company and all but that means that everyone and everything is gonna have to be moved to China too. My mom is like totally freaking out. She doesn't want to move to China and I can't really blame her. I mean she's 46 years old, she's never been to a place where they don't speak English and the fact that she's going to have to adjust to another place across the world is kinda crazy. I mean I was 19 when I went to Europe for a few months and that was mind blowing enough.

So according to her, my dad has one of two options: A) he can go over there for a year at a time, taking her with him, or B) he can go for extended months and come back every once in a while to the States. For her neither one of those is a good thing since she doesn't want to move, but she doesn't like to be without him for extended periods of time. It's like having a partner in the military except it's not the military and far less dangerous. Then there's option three that I came up with: She could split her time in the States and China over the period of like 3 months at a time, spending 3 months here, 3 months there, 3 months back here, and 3 months there. But I don't know what she's gonna do. More importantly, what am I gonna do?

I mean if he leaves for extended periods of time, there's a very good chance that I may never see him again except like once a year, but then that beats him staying there for a year. According to my mom it's not that serious, since I could just get on the plane and fly over to stay with them. But who knows? I'm totally flabbergasted (yeah I said it) and I have no idea what's going on with them. I mean she has houses here that we just bought, a business she just started, family here, and all the rest of the stuff. But who knows? I have no clue right now.

Hopefully our show will go over tonight without a hitch and make me feel better.
