Recap
After having the "I would prefer you quit rather than we have to fire you" not too subtle subtext convo with my boss a few weeks ago, I have been really kicking ass the last two weeks. I think I definitely do/will have a handle on my job but I see it getting boring in a few months time.
My roommate situation is also frustrating me. My last roommate left in a very messy unfinished fashion, and I mean that on many levels. The room was not cleaned out and ready for the next person to move AT ALL so I had to give a fair discount to the new roommate. I thought the next roommate was going to keep all the furniture in the room but it turns out he wanted almost none of it, so now I have the exact situation I was trying to avoid in the first place: tons of junk in the living room and a big mess all over again. Totally pissing me off.
The current roommmate I'm fearing is going to be one of those really unreasonable high-maintenance folks who want to rent a luxury condo for the price of a modest studio. He said he never looked at the bathroom before moving in and now he wants work done on it. We will be having a talk tonight.
On the Lunar New Year, the vaguely central asian/middle eastern looking parking lot attendant told me that "all east asians look the same" and he wanted to learn some "korean names". Goddamn there are some ignorant people on the east coast, and not just the white ones. Then one of my former roommates and I went to DC's Chinatown to Full Kee which is now open late night (awyeah) and ate good food and watched the dragon ceremony as the dragon dancers came in from the street.
Having had a good work week, I actually had a free weekend. What a foreign feeling. I had nothing to do and karma had it that none of my friends were returning my phone calls. At night I went over to my old place in DC and watched 'Red Eye' -- the premise was a lot more interesting that the movie. And that professional killer should be ashamed of himself for getting his ass kicked 10 different ways by a former JV hockey player.
Then we went to this 'alternative electropunk dance night'. It was a lot of white people pushing 30 who couldn't dance and wore a lot of black. It took me a little while to get warmed up on the dance floor and then I thought, "What the hell, all these folks are making me look GOOD". It was so smoky inside I had to leave to get fresh air and finally went home to watch 'The Jacket'.
I wasted a perfectly cute outfit on the wrong joint. This Asian sister is hard-up, alright. Even barely legal former roommates and straight clubs are looking appealing.
Okay, you know what? That last comment looks kinda wrong out of context so let me strike that. He's 22 by the way and not truly "barely legal" alright??? Thank you.
