Turkey has gotten itself into a bit of a RL fiasco.

Without going into the sordid details it involves a few thousand dollars, maybe a lawsuit and a great deal of rage.

In one sense I have only myself to blame but only in that I left myself vulnerable to getting fucked by someone I knew was desperate. Don't know what I could have done differently that wouldn't have cost someone else (who is a good guy) tens of thousands of dollars.

Anyway, the cold rage, negotiations, and pacing back and forth have left me little bandwidth for diplomacy these past few days.

It's just money and it's probably a valuable learning experience. The part that bugs me the most is everyone who is getting mad for me, doing every thing I can to not rage and think only of best solutions, don't need people being all worked up about it for me.
