wow it's been a long time since i posted anything here.
so, even though i saw it coming...mike totally left me (well he says it wasn't planned, but i know it was) for the cute 17 year old hostess that we both work with. she's still in high school. isn't that insulting? and he had to totally not even wait like 24 hours before they started hooking up. talk about throwing it in my face. i totally almost quit my job over it because i couldn't stand to look at it 5 days a week.
before we broke up we got into a huge argument, which she witnessed. and then he refused to go home with me. that was the kicker, when i knew something was going to happen with her and him. i always knew that she liked him, and i could tell that he was attracted to her.
oh, and he totally broke up with me 30 minutes before we had to be at work together that night, with no reason except "i don't think we should see each other anymore". so not only did he piss me off and not give me time to react....he also insulted me, got with the one person that pissed me off the most, and let's not forget totally embarrass me. everyone was like "what? he left YOU?" that's totally embarrassing to have it go around work that you got left for the fucking whore ass 17 year old girl that's already hooked up with half the guys that work there.
so a week after all this happened, a few of us from work are out drinking. my friend matt had the balls to be honest with me about the whole mike and miss 17 year old. i mean he knew that i already seriously suspected something going on, and he was like...look, i can't watch you be like this, you deserve to know and move on.
so, i was devistated and pissed off for like a week. but it was SO much better to know.
and matt and i are buddies now. which is great. i have a totally hot drinking buddy.
anyways, so i was not on speaking terms with mike at all for 2 weeks. our friend diane's birthday party comes up. i have to go even though i know he's gonna be there. i didn't speak to him the whole time until he was trying to drive home and couldn't stand up. i stopped him from driving and drinking for like 3 hours. then he wouldn't let me drive his car or leave his car there, so we drove together to my house. and slept on opposite ends of the bed. then we went to lunch. and on the way back to my car, i told him what i wanted from him (an explanation, an apology, and a discussion like adults) and why i was pissed (the way he broke up with me, and the 17 year old). he was devistated. and i didn't give a fuck.
so, this whole time i'm trying to work really hard at work so i don't have to look at/think about mike and his new girl-child. because i decided that i'm an adult, these are 2 children...and i will not sacrifice my job or my ability to do my job because of some stupid drama bullshit. we totally had a staff meeting on saturday...and i totally won 50 dollars for being the Outbacker of the quarter for the front of house. and my friend kyle won the award for the back of the house (i was so happy for him!)
saturday i also discovered that mike really is miserable without me in his life. but unfortunately, he wants his cake (me) and to be able to eat it too (miss 17 year old). we hung out for over 24 hours after the meeting. i wanted to have our adult discussion, but obviously he just wanted my company. i had to spend the night at his house because he was "too drunk/tired" to take me home that night. the bastard was so trying to hook up with me all night. and i thought it was a drunk thing, but the next morning when we were sober..still trying to kiss me.
so, sunday i hang out with him too. i meet him and matt out at matt's pool (talk about awkward!) and then we go to our manager's house for a BBQ. i wanted to murder him at the BBQ. he was so trying to hug on me and shit like we were an item. i'm sitting there getting irritated because 1. we are in public and 2. he is dating another chick that everyone there knows! and he was really drunk and being disrespectful.
anyways, so after all of this...mike is down and miserable because i won't really give him the time of day. the 17 year old is pretty clueless, and i still won't really speak to her for the most part. i have done nothing except work harder, and try to go out and enjoy myself after all of this bullshit. oh, and i gained a new friend ...
i so won a game that i wasn't even trying to play. well, i haven't won yet, but the ball is totally in my court...and i've pretty much won. and hell, i got 50 bucks and recognition out of it.
