Trouble Brewing
So, ever been in an episode of the Twilight Zone? Apparently I was there last night. What a fucked up night at work.
Most of it had to do with yet another confrontation with one of my supervisors, the attractive Laura. I like talking to her, but we always end up arguing, she gets mad/upset, then I have to talk my way out of it and apologize. I really tried not to even start an argument with her, but she roped me into it. I even told her not to get involved, but she didn't listen. So we argued about me getting jipped on two hours' pay, and by the end I didn't care about the money, I just wanted her to realize there was a another viewpoint on the situation than her own. Something like that seems to get to her. To make matters worse, there was another girl there who was listening to us, then she fueled Laura's bad mood even more by making me look like a bad guy. Then, after I talked to this other girl about my case, she went and twisted my words around to make me look like an asshole. What a bitch!
I managed to calm Laura down, with repeated effort. She twisted everything I said to her into some nasty comment about her, when I was just trying to show that I have a problem with my big mouth sometimes. Man, is it all girls that get this way? It was such a horrible feeling: nothing I could say would make it better, and anything I said would only make it worse. But I just can't walk away, it feels like I'm giving up. I guess I'm compelled to argue, even if it means trouble for me. Is this a big problem? Meh, I'm too old to change.
Finally, I just came to the conclusion that the only way to avoid being fired is to shut up around Laura from now on. The trouble is, she keeps tempting me. Doesn't she remember how it always ends up?
Oh, and to make matters worse, I'm walking down the busy street of drunks, and some guy tries to take a piss on me! Luckily I jumped out of the way, but what the fuck?! It's bad enough he does it on the street... I would have punched him in the head, but I didn't want to go near that spray. And he had a quite large friend with him. Oh man, I gotta get out of this town. Only a few more weeks...
