With regards to the investigation into the ex-boss, it seems that I have even less than nothing to update. While I had been infuriated to discover that the sheriff's department hadn't been given the case until January, when I spoke to the detective back in February, she made it seem like she was going to do everything in her power to bring charges against the ex-boss. And yet, nothing has happened. Unfortunately, I know how small town politics works. I know that if the truth comes to light, it'll look very bad for certain members of the board, and I know that these certain board members are “important” people in our community. While the detective seemed pretty gung-ho about bringing the truth to light, even if it looked bad for the board, I find myself wondering who *her* boss is friends with. A word in the right ear around here and she might be asked to drop the investigation. Who knows; I hope that this won't happen, but as it is now APRIL and nothing has happened, I'm seriously starting to doubt that anything will.

This is how the ex-boss keeps getting away with shit. And she'll continue to do so until somebody finally has her arrested. Oh, wait... she already got off on a murder charge, so I guess she doesn't stop even then. Sigh. I checked out her personal non-profit's website the other day; apparently her org is now allied with a large national corporation in a nearby city to fund-raise and to, well... to do what it is her org claims to do. I've seen the conditions of her org... and it's obvious that while some of her money goes to maintaining it, the bulk of the money she brings in from fund-raising does not go to her org at all. And now she's got another cash cow to milk, since the ex-job seems to have let her get away with her scam.

I hadn't heard from the psycho ex since that scary night back in January when I had to call 911. Here I was, thinking that my pseudo-temp-restraining-order was working, that he would at least leave me alone from here on out. Well, today he called my mom. My mother does not have caller ID. Even before this whole crazy-ex business, I couldn't bring myself to answer the phone at her house, because I never knew who would be on the other end. Yes, I have a phone phobia. Well, now I have yet another reason to not answer the phone at her house. She answered the phone, and there he was on the other end. He claimed to have called to wish *US* - as in me and my mom - a happy Easter. He swore to my mom that he hadn't stolen the expensive object of hers which we suspect he stole. He also said that he has been in the city where my father lives since the day after “our disagreement,” (you know, when I called the cops on him because he was hiding in my bushes after unscrewing my front porch lightbulb) where he has been working. When my mom pointed out that he had been seen in a local grocery store by one of my friends three full weeks after that date, he said, “That's bullshit.” Hah. He also told her that he thinks about me every day, and really wishes I would call him. [Insert profanity here. I uttered a lot of it.]
