My Dear Shy - Rick's Lament

Two whole weeks after the remembrance of my dear Shy...

Nothing new or exciting has happened throughout this boresome week.  Two days ago I've caught a minor case of the cold and still am sick to this day.  It's not really too major; only a stuffy nose and a sore throat, is all.  I'm not sure how I got it, to be honest.  I haven't made any direct contact except in the restro-...  Oh for bloody sakes!  Now that I recall, I have a hunch it may have been one of the employees of the department who could have been down with the flu.

I frankly remember that I drank six cups of coffee in one setting.  I mean, if I have to sit on a computer chair for hours straight until work is over, I definitely would want a nice fresh mug of black coffee nearby as my fuel to keep my brain's engine running.   It was then evident that the coffee went through me fast, and I therefore had to make an immediate short trip to the restroom.  I've indeed washed my hands, but I guess some repulsive oaf thought it'd be an excellent idea to come to work when he has a flu.  Yeah, why not we infect the entire damn floor while we're at it?!  I'm sure the boss also would enjoy catching the flu.  Except he hasn't.  I know this because he called me just yesterday.  Sounds as fluid as a healthy horse (just a figure of speech).

...I don't know why I used that kind of metaphor.  I suppose it's my dear Shy....  I keep reminding myself the dreaded truth that I won't be able to see her again despite the actual fact that they have a cartoon show.  It's... not the same.  One time when I reached a hand over to the screen (in pathetic hopes to again feel her magnificent soft fur) all I felt was nothing but the cruel hard surface of a television monitor screen...  It's utterly grimacing having to watch your daughter without her acknowledging your existence.  Kind of like how a mother or father were unfit as parents to raise a child and just give him away to a new foster family (an abusive foster family who should burn in hell for the abusement they've given to that poor child!).  At the very least the former parents could have left a memento explaining why.  Because without any knowledge of the reason is going to leave that helpless child endlessly wondering why they up and abandoned him!  Did they ever consider the possibility that that child will grow up to be a distasteful dick who despises everything and everyone around him!  They should be hanged for doing such terrible thing!

Now that my anger has settled... I'm going to go lie down for a while.

"A... ah-choo!"
