Why am I surrounded with fake gutless gossiping Brian Ws at "corporate" job?

corporations generally have 2 bodies of employees....

those who get in the way

and those who know how to maneuver around them to get things done

Oh c'mon, that's a bit harsh!

They're probably real ones

Court weddings take what. Five minutes?  You can keep them both happy, no? 

Will be waiting to see how this one unravels.  Good luck!

9 minutes including pictures and joking with the guy in handcuffs waiting to go in front of the same magistrate. 

Or in my brother's case, 3 minutes and 34 seconds from the time the judge opened the door to his chambers to the time he pronounced them wed and told them to kiss.

Would have been quicker, but my brother had to translate the judge's words into Ukranian so his bride could understand them.

So on average, I'd say 5 minutes is a reasonable guess.

If you can't keep them both happy then keep the wife happy.  Better chance of getting lucky if she's happy.
You can always get the sis a nice wedding gift to make her happy again

you answered that by stating that it is a corporate job.

THIS. 

I always joke that my (privately owned) company's upper echelon politics include three main factions: Family Side A, Family Side B, and the people who actually make us money.

Spending the afternoon re-wiring the truck from four pin to six pin trailer hook up wasn't so bad. Discovering that the wiring on the borrowed trailer is completely shot and was never going to work in the first place did put a bit of a damper on my sense of accomplishment, however.

My ex-wife can go die in a fire. What part of "I am so proud of my oldest daughter (my middle daughter). She wants to leave school and become a mom." sounds even make the beast with two backsing remotely right for a 16 year old?

I am so glad my ex-wife is providing such a wonderful role model for my children to follow.

The thing I loathe most about the ex-spouse

is that it is living proof that I was able to (stupidly) convince myself

that they were a "good idea" at that time

thereby illustrating how grievous some of my lapses in judgement were

I would take my kids out of there in a heartbeat if I could. Apparently, the law in Missouri states that at age 12, they can choose which parent they want to live with unless there are circumstances that dictate removal from one home or the other. Missouri also states that 16 is the age of consent. Asinine if you ask me.

At least here in Iowa, I could drag her ass back to court for an administrative review in which they would send a case worker out to investigate the home.

My oldest daughter's mom is a great lady. She really kicked my daughter in the ass when she needed to and we always reinforced each other with discipline. My younger 2 know that when they leave here, the punishment is up whether it be grounding or whatever.

If this was a high school yearbook,
My oldest: Most likely to succeed and survive in the real world.
My middle daughter: Most likely to make stupid decisions that she will regret the rest of her life.
My youngest: Most likely to hatch an evil plot to take over the world only to have her mom drag her down.
