A busy weekend indeed. Friday included more rounds at the car dealership where I was informed of a down payment VW was requiring me to make based on my income, credit report, and negative equity. Had to drive a galactice blue car as opposed to the black I wanted. Went home to think about it and decided to do a little more research. Called them back and drove a hard bargain....now we'll see where it takes me.
Spent the night with Jorge, David, Tony, Nicole and Monique and had a great time barring the insanity at TGI Friday;s where I had to throw down on the manager because of REALLY shitty food and service. My behavior seemed to embarass some people, but I don;t understand how people cannot understand the simple idea behind goods and services. I pay your ass to be my waiter and serve me food that is not only palatble but is cooked properly, when you fuck up the orders and take your sweet ass time, I should not have to pay for crappy services rendered. If we buy cd that is scratched up, are we not going to return it and get a refund. I handled it quite well and was nice about it (altho I was an ass talking about it at the table to let out some of the aggression) and got my meals, which I didn;t even eat, for free as well as a coupon. I just don;t think businesses should be allowed to get away with shit. Save your pride for something else.
The group came over ot my apartment where we had some great conversations until the wee hours of the morning. The group thinned out until it was just David and I. We chatted it up until I just could not keep my eyes open around 4 am and sent him on his merry way.
There is something to be said for startling revelations and reality checks.
Saturday I did nothing all day except hang out with Jorge for a while who had a shitty day.
And today was spent getting organized and color coding stuff for school this week. I have to say that teaching high school is a dream for someone who loves office supplies, anal organization, and puzzles....and I love all three. I am keeping a positive outlook about all of this and just crossing my fingers and hoping things work out to everyone;s benefit and that I can do what I set out to in the end.
This is but an all too too short life that we spend wasting away in trivial things and people. Why DO we waste it on people who offer us nothing and make us feel like shadows in their life?
FYI.....Donnie Darko.....interesting movie.....must be seen again.
