Day 1 of the 5 day weekend;
Well, I decided to take a few days off from work. Because life sucks, but work sucks more. I was supposed to go to court on monday to be a witness for my insurance company, in a lawsuit from an accident 3 years ago. It's so totally stupid and the other party involved is just a non-engish speaking bastard trying to get some quick money. Anyhow, they finally realized their claim wasn't gonna stand up in court and accepted a settlement, which I take much satisfaction in knowing that it won't even cover their lawyer's bill.
So I thought I'd still take the day off anyways, and the thursday and friday beforehand. Slept in 'til noon today, until that bastard Kyle from work called me, wanting to know if I wanted to meet at taco bell up te street for his goodbye lunch. (Tomorrow's his last day at work, and I won't be there.)
Since I was broke, and in no condition to walk my still half-asleep ass up the street to the taco bell, I had to decline.
Though around 3 'o clock, disaster struck. I recieved a disturbing message from the electric company.
Money owed to Electric company = 130 bucks.
Cash reserves = less than zero.
Deadline for payment = 5pm today.
Well, having my power shut off would seriously ruin every plan I had for my 5 day weekend, and during my first round of calls, hope of finding a someone to borrow from was in short supply. Finally, just before 4pm I got ahold of my grandfather, and was able to borrow $150 until I get paid next week.
Mission Accomplished. Disaster has been averted once again.
So now I find myself at beatonbrat's sign shop. It's market night in redlands, and the freaks are out in legions. I find myself lusting after a $3 snowcone, though I only have $2 in my pocket. The clock ticks so slowly as I launch darts at some random woman's face hanging on the dartboard. And the microwaved burritos I had for lunch are turning into bricks in my stomach.... ugh..... bleah!
further updates as events warrant...
