Okay yeah, so I haven't updated in months. Oh freakin well. I've been a workaholic again. 50-70 hour weeks non-stop for about 4-5 months. And all that money is now gone.
But on the plus side I finally got my car back
Explanation:
I got into a nasty accident in Cockeysville back in November. Dumbass coming out of a parking lot ran a red light, I hit him going 35-40. Snapped his front left axle, and pwnd the front end of my baby. And I got a minor consussion because the airbag kicked my ass. Spent about 7 hours in the hospital. The car took two months, and cost 11000 to fix, but she is back. Kyouko is finally back! I almost forgot how much I love this car, especially the six speed. I'm so sick of driving my mother's automatic Tracker. The funny thing is, I bought the car in March. she is less than a year old. I now owe 15000 on her. Allstate told me she was worth 15,600. Less than a year and it's already worth more than I owe on it to the insurance companies. And beyond that, the depreciation will fall again this year. 2006 is the final production year for the Sentra's, no more will be made ever as the Azeal comes out in it's production form. So my little Spec-V will be worth a pretty penny if I ever sell her.
I met a girl named Cassandra at work. I'd venture to say i'm falling in love with her. We have a lot in common, she is beautiful, and she's not fake! Only problem is she confuses the shit out of me. Don't know how much longer I can keep going with this. It's been well over a month now, and we still aren't even really going out. We call each other, and talk on the phone multiple times per day, except on weekends, when we don't talk on Saturdays usually. We hang out once or twice per week. She accepts my affection and shit, but shows none of her own. Yet she seems to enjoy calling me, and the time we do spend together. She refuses to tell me how she feels about me. She'll tell me anything and everything about her past, and her future, but i'm completely in the dark about the present. And she always says she isn't in the mood to talk about me, us, the present, etc. I want to wait and see how things go, but i'm in pain over this. I don't know what to do from here. I don't want to lose her, but at the same time I don't think I deserve to feel this much pain.
So shit finally went down at work on Friday. For months we had been planning a massive walk-out because we hate our district manager(area coach). The loser treats people like animals. He is completely unfit to manage anything or anyone. So the GM, my long-time boss and a good friend quit Thursday night. Friday morning I called Cassandra and let her know about this. For the past week we had been talking about it. If Kevin(the area coach) fired either of us, the other would quit, as well as most of the management team. Well I called her friday morning while I was taking a delivery. She had just arrived at the store. He decided to bitch at her for talking on the phone. She was in the back of the store, working her ass off, and speaking to a manager(me) about store affairs, and he bitched her out. So she quit. I get back to the store, and he blames me for making her quit. He thinks I turned the entire store against him, when he did that himself. But at least I got what I wanted out of it. I had wanted to transfer to one of the stores my old area coach(Dennis) runs. He's a great guy, and I have alot of clout with him. And because of what went down, Kevin told me to get out, and he would transfer me wherever i wanted to go.
The bad thing is that Cassandra wasn't supposed to quit. She lives with her father, and he told her to find another job before she quit. He has a nasty temper, and tends to throw her out when she is unemployed. So there's a small possibility that she could be in trouble. But it made me feel pretty damned good when she said she wanted to stay at my place if he did throw her out. She spends the weekends in Montgomery County with her friends. But it would seem she likes/trusts me enough to live with me.
I start my new job today. Opening manager at Liberty Rd store this morning, then start my full-time position at the Overlea store tonight.
And now that this has happened, I've finally trimmed my hours. I'll have a life again. I'm trippin out because I can finally be with my friends again. In particular Crystal, Christine, John and Ben. They are without a doubt my best friends(or were before I buried myself in my work). I had a nice chat with Crystal last night, and saw Ben and Christine at Ben's Graduation party last night. I think i'll be able to rekindle my old relationships if I work at it.
Crystal was long my bitching post. She would listen to anything I said, nod and smile and offer kind words. She always understood me and helped me through some tough times, I love her, and i'm very grateful to what she has does for me.
Christine is like the sister I wanted to have. I have more in common with her than anyone i've ever known. At times it seemed like we were clones seperated at birth. I definately want to renew my relationship with her, I think she would make an amazing life-long friend for me.
Ben and John have been my boys for years. The first two friends I had after moving back to MD. I've lost touch with John, but I'd like to believe we're still good friends.
Anyway, I need to get the fuck out of here, gotta get to work. Working an 8-4 in Randallstown, and 5-11 in Overlea. Gonna be a long day. But i'm off tomorrow, if anyone wants to chill tonight lemme know. If you wanna talk, hit me up on my cell. I might not be able to talk from 8-4 EST since im managing, but the night shift is driving, so I can talk off-and-on through the night.
P.S. Don't worry Hiro, I still remember you. You can have open access to my cell, which means unless i'm busy i'll answer(this includes times like sleep, meals, at work, etc.)
