Friday (July 30)- By the end of the day, all but 1 cupcake was eaten at work. I’m glad I made them for everyone to enjoy. Leslie pulled another move during the workday to prove that she is bat shit crazy. She told Tony that his bad attitude was bringing everyone down. Uhm…what?! It was all of the interns (me, Lilly, Molly, Nina, Brian, and Matt Littlejohn) plus Rachel and Fabiola working, and we assured him that her claim was total bullshit. Poor Tony has been going through so much recently because he’s been trying to sell his house. He’s been staying with his brother-in-law who has two rotten kids. To top it off, he only sees his wife and daughter on the weekends because she’s staying in their house, but he can’t live there during the week because work is too far. So, as we were consolidating (DISEASED) plants, Tony went to pull the truck closer for us, and he ran over a timer. Tony gets obviously angry at this, slams the door, and walks toward the main building. We all kept working, but we were hoping that he’d be back shortly. When he didn’t come back, Matt LJ said something like “maybe he’s getting fired.” AH! I could have died when I heard that! Lilly and I promised one another that if he got fired, we were leaving. I couldn’t stand the thought of Leslie giving me orders. ::shudder::
I went home and showered right away. As I was getting ready to go out, Ricky warned me about coming home that night. He said I might not want to be around for the drama that might go down. Lauren wanted to evict Ashley and Tyler, but Ashley and Tyler wanted to evict Lauren. It wasn’t going to be pretty, and I appreciated the warning. Jesse picked me up at the house, and those of us going out met at PTs dock (Randall, Hillary, Zack, PT, Jesse, Matt, me). I didn’t know exactly what was goin’ on, but it turned out we ended up on a barge for a party! It was cool, but it wasn’t the usual crowd, so I didn’t know as many people as usual. I think this was the beginning of Matt not being so, uh, interested in hanging out with me. He kind of left me to my own, which sucked. :-\ I wandered a little bit and texted people from home. I met up with Jesse, and I played a round of beer pong with Wiz later to be more social. There were sooo many people doing keg stands, but they couldn’t convince me to do one. Matt got way drunk, and when we left, he sat in the cab of the boat with his head down. It was pretty obvious that he was smashed. Lol I fell asleep on the engine box, and I stayed at Jesse’s that night to avoid house drama.
Saturday (July 31)- I woke up around 7am and played w/ Ruger for a little bit, but my head was hurtin’ so I went back to sleep. I woke up again around 10:30 when some people knocked on the door - apparently they we some religious folks trying to give out God literature. We were up after that, so we let Ruger out and sat on the steps for a little while. I went home around 11:30am, but I didn’t have my key on me. I knocked a couple times, but nobody answered. I left my boat bag on the front porch, grabbed my purse, and walked around town. Got iced coffee from a coffee shop I hadn’t been to behind the ACME. I stopped at a thrifty store and bought a book incase my roommates didn’t answer the door when I got back. At least with a book, I could read and sit on the porch until somebody stirred. I killed as much time as I could browsing in the town shops. I called house to be unlocked as I headed out of town - Lauren didn’t answer. Ricky didn’t answer. Tyler didn’t answer. UGH. >.< Eventually, Lauren called me back, and said she’d unlock the door for me, but she warned me about shit that went down - Ty and Ash were being evicted. I made myself some food, went on computer, and talked to Lauren and Ricky about what went down. The story was: Lauren, Ricky, Ashley and Tyler were playing a game of cards. I think they were playing poker, and they threw down their hands to show one another what they had. The way they threw their cards down looked like a face. Well Lauren was being silly and said her cards looked like they were licking Ashley’s. Ricky made practically the same comment - about how his cards were licking Ashley’s, and that ignited everything. Tyler started flipping out because he thought Ricky’s comment was inappropriate and too sexual. Lauren recorded the screaming match that ensued, and she had me listen to it. Ty was carrying on about how Ricky said he wanted to lick Ashley’s snatch! How the fuck he drew that conclusion is beyond me. I could hear Ashley in the recording, too, saying, “Yeah, Tyler, ok. Ricky was talking about eating me out” in a sarcastic way. Nobody could believe how out of control the situation got.
To add to the fun, Lauren brought up the topic of rent. She asked if I could get it to her by Monday morning. The obvious answer to that was NO! since our bank closes by noon on Saturday, and it was probably like 2 in the afternoon. Obviously, then I couldn’t get it on Saturday, and the bank’s closed on Sunday. That brought me to Monday. I need to be at work by 7:30am, and the bank doesn’t open until 8:30am. Well, fuck. I ended up asking Ricky to borrow his bike that day. I decided I would spend my lunch break on Monday getting the money from the bank, and I would bring it to the house. Now…explain to me how I have to go out of my way SO MUCH to get them rent money for the NEXT month when Tyler and Ashley are behind by a month plus they never paid their deposit. Fuck everything. That shit is SO unfair. Back to the eviction story…
My favorite part was that they said Tyler kept asking where I was. He was hoping I’d come home to defend him because he thought I’d be on his side! How ridiculous is that?!
I got a text from Tyler saying something like, “Nice knowing you. I’m being evicted. Hooray for being homeless!” I thought that was totally inappropriate to say to me, since I wasn’t involved AT ALL. I briefly saw Tyler, and he asked me if I got his text. I told him I did, nodded my head, and gave him an apologetic smile - what else could I do? Ash came home later that night after I got out of the shower. She came in and sat down on my bed while I packed up. I was staying at Jesse’s again even though he wasn’t going to be there. I asked if I could stay at his place because I just couldn’t stay in the apartment - too much tension. I talked with her about renting a new place, and I helped her look on Craigslist for a place to stay. She was taking an awfully long time, but I needed my computer at Jesse’s, so I could research jobs and schools. I politely told her that Lauren would probably let her use her computer (Lauren and Ash were still cool, just everyone hated Tyler). She got the hint, and wrapped things up. I had trouble opening the back gate to Jesse’s place, so I hopped the fence. He had the back door open as he said he would. I grabbed all my stuff, and settled in for the evening. I tried using my computer, but there were no signals to be found. I gave up and went to bed at, like 10:30.
Sunday (Aug 1)- When I woke up, I walked to ACME. I bought beer for Jesse to both say “thank you” and apologize for picking up the wrong kind when we had gone out on the boat for the barge party. I kicked back and watched some TV when I returned. When I went home, I sat outside and read in sun for a little while.
