Well it's been a really crappy week.. Starting about a week ago I've had a cold that's been kicking my ass. Mucus, sneezing, and Coughing Oh my!! From there I do some workign stuff.. Monday I get a call from Bert on my cell phone. I'm at Work and let it go to voice mail. I check it on my break. The Message asks if someone still was working at Sykes. I Call him back and ask him what he meant. HE asks if I looked at the paper in the obituaries? I tell him I haven't. He tells me he was told it had had a Friends name in it and the age sounded right.
I checked the Newspaper, and sure enough, there it is. Name and age 22... I felt time stay still for a awhile. I didn't know what to think. I knew him but I didn't know what happened. One of my buddies at work knew him better then I and asked him. He said he commited Suicide on that last Saturday Night. So loads of Anxiety hits. I knew him but didn't know him very well.
Anywho through out the rest of the week It's shitty and annoying at work like always...
This Saturday comes around and it's tournament day. Go out to play in the Marquee. Find out that Ass in a Hat Jason had a "Tournament" on a Monday and used our prize support on it. So Fine what ever. No information about the tournament being publicy post so no wonder only him, his wife, Katt, and Dean showed up to it.. So this time we have 9 players for this one so a couple of people will get the bye. Playing in the tournament draws out and then on the third round of the Swiss rounds tournament comes up My brother Bert has 2 wins and 0 losses. He is paired off with Katt who has a 1 win and 1 loss ratio. Bert askes if anyoen else had 2 wins and Jason says no. Well Bert loses the round to Katt so both end up with a 2 wins 1 loss Ratio. Well the Tournament finishes(I had a 1 win 2 lose ratio). And to determine the "Top 4". Jasons Take has been best Win/loss Ratio and Points, 2second best win/loss ratio points a "Sportsmanship" and somethign else I couldn't tell you cause Jason pulls something out of hiss that doesn't make since anyways. Lo and Behold we have a 3win 0 loss ratio person. His DAMN SON!! We find out that instead of having him play Bert he played a person who had 1 win and a bye. Now that makes no damn sense!!
The Shit hits the Fan!! We asked how the FUCK!!! does he have 3 wins and why didn't he play Bert? Jason Says some stupid shit(I can't remember because He was just being a stupid Fat Fuck and I've had enough of his shit) I tell them, "Fuck It I don't care where my Standings are, I'm droping out because that it is totally retarded!! Get your Shit together. You're suppose to be non bias when setting up brackets." I go out and have a couple of Smokes. I talk with a another one of the players who got screwed pretty badly because he ended up with 2 losses and was given a bye the last round. So making his Ratio 0% wins with out a chance to redeem it. He was interested in doing some trading I come back in and we look at the poster to try to determine what we need off each other. Then Jason's Retarded Wife Askes me how the tournament went, I tell her "Frankly I have some choice words about your husband and I don't want to talk about it".
Well me and The other guy go to the back room and talk trade, My brother comes up and says he's probably going to head home and come back later because he doesn't want to put up with Jason's BullShit anymore today. He leaves,I continue to talk to the other guy for a while about Trading, then Jason comes up I tell him, "Go away, I don't want to hear you right now." He walks off pissy as can be. His Retarded wife comes back a couple of minutes later and tries to play peacemaker I tell her "I don't want to hear anything about it, go away." She tries to make me feel guilty by saying "If you guys can't get this settled then Jason's out of Clix", I say "Fine!", and then she tries to say "And he's out of The Comics business too" I tell her "I don't care". She starts to tell me about how the comic store will close and I won't be able to get comics(it also doesn't help that half of the time they don't get some of the stuff in I ask for). I tell her "The way you guys are running that comic store it's going to go out of business anyways." Then She says "Well it's our business how we run our store not yours",(Funny how she tries to tell me it's not my business when she's the one who tried to throw it in my face) and I tell her "I don't care." so she pouts off as well. It wouldn't of been so bad if it wasn't for the fact that they're trying to strike deals with me when the person they fucked over was my brother. Who they pissed off and Bert is a lot more mellow then I am.
So Moral of the Story "Jason Wedel is a Fucking Idiot and his family is full of them as well.". So any one who values any sence in your business dealings, do not do any with them. They are the epeadamy of bad business. Instead of reinvesting into the store they spend the majority of the money on things for themselves. Recently getting a PSP, 5 New games, and some other crap. The other part of their buiness on why I know they are on the screaming track to failure is a recent Transaction with Nate, where they are going to be giving Nate 3 monthes worth of Comics free which is the approximent equivalent to I would say about $500 for soem thing I know I could of gotten for about 1/3 of that. So already throwing away $500 out of the next 3 monthes is about 1/5 of the total income that they get from their cusotmers, my and my brother's portion is about 2/5 of their total income so pissing us off is their biggest mistake... exit rant mode....
So as you can all tell, anyone who reads this, I've had a lovely day and my bloodpressure is probably through the roof... I know Jason has his "Lackeys" but I also know there's people at the store(Morgan who wants to knock the hell out of Jason for being so stupid) who support me in this and people who are really tired of Jason, INCLUDING the Store Owner.
Well That's my rant... I had high hopes for this Saturday but it turned to shit becase of Jason's stupidity.
