Good morning! It's been a long time, I've been a busy man. Work is hard, ooo the next three years might suck. Looong days. I've been doing my best to squeeze in a little pool time here and there when I get home before dark but mostly I come home, eat some dinner and go straight to bed. Tomorrow I'm on the early crew which means I've got to be there at five AM instead of six, one hour makes a big difference when you're getting beat down.
What adventures have I been up to? Let's see, nearly got into a fight a while back. Some sloppy fat white trash whore came to the pool with her white trash family, we were drinking beer and analyzing the son, we thought he was retarded but acknowledged the possibility that he might not be and we thought it would be hilarious if he was not retarded. Suddenly the woman started talking to us out of the blue. She yelled across the pool to us, "Is everything alright?!!" We were like WTF why is she talking to us shun her. They were milling around near the table where we had stashed all our stuff... smokes, wallet, phones etc. We do not live in a bad neighborhood and we didn't think to be suspicious of them yet.
When we got out of the pool and went over to our table we saw that my friend's Blackberry was gone. (The wallet was still there!) No one else had come to the pool during this time, the white trashes were the only ones it could have been, but what could we do? My friend said to the fat lady, "Excuse me, do you think someone from your party could have mistakenly picked up a cell phone from this table?" We thought maybe the retarded kid.
Then the woman started acting super suspicious. She acted way too concerned and became way more involved than she should have been and was blatantly acting guilty. We were conferring about this as it was unfolding, "She is acting suspicious, isn't she?" "Yes, I agree, suspicious."
My friend asked her to call his cell on her cell. She went off and got her phone and possibly turned off his phone and then made a show of calling his number. She pretended someone picked up, started having a weird fake conversation. My friend said, "let me talk," and she got cross with him, said "easy buddy!" and backed away... then she acted like the connection dropped. She called back at his request and now of course it went straight to his voice mail.
We discussed what to do. Call the cops? What would they do, we didn't think anything. Plus we had been drinking and our eyes were red from the chlorine, we looked high. It boiled down to there was nothing we could do, his phone was gone and that's it. We accepted that and continued with our pooltime for awhile and then decided to go to Best Buy and see if he could get a new phone under warranty. (No.) As we were leaving, a new gang of trailer park thugs came up to us and tried to pick a fight! We were full of liquid courage and these punks all looked like bitches so we had no fear at all and we just laughed at them. They were saying we had assaulted the woman. She was trying to encourage them, saying "They were asking me all kinds of weird questions, like do I live here... where do I live...." I thought we were definitely fighting and I even kind of wanted to because we were both so pissed and we could do nothing. But with our jobs it is super dangerous if the cops come, especially if there is alcohol involved. Demotion for sure, loss of pay, loss of security clearance which means loss of job. We just kept laughing at them and squared up on them and luckily they ran away without us having to get dirty. that was the closest I have come to an alcohol related incident my whole time in. Oh and the retarded one turned out not to be retarded.
I've been furnishing my apartment in my limited spare time, lots of online shopping. This weekend I took delivery two bookcases, a dresser, and a king size bed. I was so excited about the bed, I went to Bed Bath and Beyond while I was waiting for the delivery, picked up seven hundred dollars worth of bedding for it. NICE down comforter, new sheets, new pillows, skirts and shams, and a nice other comforter that I put over the down one to protect it. Also picked up two bar stools for my kitchen bar while I was there. Took the delivery last night, it is the wrong fucking mattress. I ordered a Simmons Beautyrest and I got an Airsprung. I've never heard of that brand. I tried to call 1-800-Mattres but they were already closed for the night, and I called Mattress Giant, the company that handled the order, also closed. Now I have to wait until Monday to do anything about it. I made it up and slept on it anyway, super comfortable, very nice, similar price range I think, but not what I ordered. For that amount of money I think I'd just like the thing I ordered. Hard to tell about the price range, beds are like cars, they always have a fake price and a real price. The Simmons was 2,000 something crossed out and then the real price was like 1300. Airsprung only sells in the UK and at Mattress Giant as far as I can tell, UK prices are meaningless to me and the Mattress Giant price is also 1300. The bed is nice enough that I almost want to just take it because I have no time for the hassle during the week, but I'm afraid this weird brand bed will fall apart in six months and I'll regret it, and also its the principle, I don't want those bastards getting one over on me.
Not that much else I'm afraid, work is too consuming. Been reading some Hunter Thomson, oh and I have a few plants growing on the porch, chives and basil. I've had them for four or five weeks now and they are still doing great, really enjoying not killing them.
