It’s not enough for me, just a man in love with me
My best friend at work (and real life too, I guess) was fired on Friday. They pulled her into the big bosss office 15 minutes before quitting time and dropped the bomb. No one saw it coming which means no one is safe. Which means I could be next. Which would almost be a relief, but still no one wants to get shitcanned.
My sort-of stepsister, Wendy (long, convoluted story made short, and follow this if you can: she is my former stepfathers current stepdaughter), was dating a guy for five or six years. He sent me a message today on evil-evil-facebook; he and Wendy broke up back in September. Wendy and I arent deathly close so Im not surprised I didnt know about it, but what does surprise me is that they broke up because Wendy cheated on him. What further surprises me is that she cheated on him with a woman. Stuff you dont know about people, I tell ya.
Dont roll your eyes too hard, but St. Paul and I are on for Tuesday. Dinner, long walk (weather permitting), just hanging out. I also have a backup plan since he doesnt have the greatest track record of following through.
The Chef and I are on for Friday. Lunch, Black Friday shopping (hes brave), just hanging out. Hope I dont need a backup plan for this guy.
I went out with the fired-friend last night and well, wisely I left my car at the bar and cabbed it the two miles home. Today, massively hung over, I walked outside to head back to the bar to retrieve said car. A nanosecond after stepping out the door I was airborne, horizontal to the iced-over sidewalk, enjoying the view of the grey, foggy air and then I landed hard, flat on my ass, knocked the back of my already aching head on the concrete and laid there for a full ten seconds before I yelled FUCK! at the top of my lungs. Some evil son-of-a-bitch had the audacity to laugh at me, and not quietly. Fucker.
Man, my head hurts.
Im glad I got my car home this afternoon rather than going to my garage tomorrow morning and flipping out that it wasnt there.
Im thankful I have a job to go to tomorrow morning as far as I know, anyway. Hey, if I get fired too that just means Ill have more time to write crappy entries like this. Yay for you!!
I hate to admit it but I probably would have laughed too! I’m sorry… I’m sure I couldn’t have helped it. Glad you are ok though.

There’s a chef, too? SCORE! Hope you’re ok after your slip and fall — as I read it I was thinking “man, I hope she didn’t throw her back out!” xox

Maybe that guy had been having the worst time you made him laugh for the first time in weeks. No? Yeah, he’s a jerk. Glad you have a job too.

That evil son-of-a-bitch will rue the day he chuckled, karma is hard on that sort of folk, I tell ya. Given my personal experiences I would never be shocked if any woman leaves a man for a woman. When I left my husband at 25/26 for a woman no one saw that coming either. I regret cheating on my spouse but at least I did it with some panache. I had a professor in law school whosaid, “If you don’t have a good case, at least tell a good story”. Words to live by, I think. I am sorry about your friend. You’re sweet to help her drink her troubles away.
