Damn! Shouldn't Have Drank That E&J
Hey!!! What up folks? Me, just at the crib chillin waiting for the Oakland Raiders to play the San Diego Chargers on Thursday night football. I've been playing this football pool for the past four weeks or so with my cousin and we've come close to winning each time but not close enough. This week they're playing another pool which is worth like $2000 but I couldn't manage to get my picks in on time so I'm out this week. It's like my cousin and two other people playing. I hope one of them gets it.
So it was my cousin's birthday on Tuesday and I thought we were going to start celebrating on the weekend but we started celebrated right on Tuesday. We had some E&J and Christian Brothers which is along the same lines. I know that I can't really drink either of them cause they both make me unbelievably sick but because of the birthday festivities and the fact that that was all there was to drink, I had a couple of glasses. Needless to say, I've been laid out of work with a terrible hang-over the past two days. It's cool though, I'll be back at work tomorrow a brand new man. I feel the hang-over is gone and I hadn't hardly had anything to drink today but a couple of beers. It's not cool with my lady though. She's still a little mad at me because she was trying to get in touch with me last night when I was sleep at my friend's hotel room and didn't hear the phone ring. Then I told her I had missed the last two days and she started talking about how there were 20,000 more lay-offs in the U.S. this week and how desperate people are because so many are out of work. Then she proceeded to say that I have a problem whether I see it that way or not but she can't deal with someone not going to work everyday and she doesn't feel like that's too much to ask. I can't say I much blame her. I don't know what really to say. I've had other jobs and those jobs in no way make me feel like this job. She says all it seems like I want to do is have fun, I feel like the job makes people like that, believing that the only thing that you can truly control and the only thing that matters is a good time. The only way to truly understand that though is to be there yourself and she's not so she never will I guess. Such is life.
To tell you the truth, I stopped giving a fuck about the job a long time ago. I mean, I'll go back tomorrow and keep taking it week by week making an effort to show up everyday but no more will I beat myself up about missing a day or two. I've worked five days a week everyday in that place and what the fuck does it get me? Just enough money to pay my bills and if I want to have a little something to look forward to a little money to do that and that's it. You can't save from that job and move to another city, you can't be promoted or transferred with that job to somewhere else and you can't save up enough from that job to start your own business or another career unless you're willing to work there twenty years. I keep telling people this and like I said I don't expect them to understand but damn! That's where I'm coming from. I'm not going to quit cause I don't quit anything, but if I party too much and miss a day or party during the week and miss two days, no I don't really care and I refuse to beat myself up about it anymore. It is what it is. Aight folks, on that note guess I'll bounce. It's now eight o'clock and I believe game-time so I gotta start my weekend football watching. Hope the rest of your evenings are relaxing and enjoyable and I'll talk to you soon. Peace peeps and God bless.
