I'm really quite determined to start my life as a pool shark already. At this point, it seems that it will be t he only means of supplementing my rather small income. That or whoring. Several things are impeding me for actualizing my dreams. One, I really don't know how to play pool. Two, I'm really quite a bd liar. Perhaps I should really investigate the benefits of whoring again.
In the meantime, I'm on this two day stretch of pool hall hopping in hopes of achieving some greatness. I won one game out of ten last night. It doesn't seem like I am making much progress. Perhaps tonight will fair better, otherwise I just might have to pack up those poolsticks.
In other business, I have this constant sense of impending doom that at any which point, a house will drop upon me. Everyone was kissing my lilly white ass today, and this never happens. Of course, unless, you sitting within the quiet of a storm. Long story short, shits going down in the near future. Ever the optimist, I am.
Leticia from Central Office up and quit today. Left a 40,000 a year job and packed up her shit and headed back towards El Paso. If that isn't an example of taking several steps backward in life. She didn't give anybody advanced notice. She just left.
So Brian thinks he's up for her job. And I get his. Yay, yippee, hurrah. Pay careful attention to that last sentence. Notice how it ended with a dull flat period.
I'm really not all that excited about that. At all. Because, you see folks, my supervisor Brian makes almost exactly the same amount of money that I do. Maybe a few cents less even. But he does twice the workload. While I pity Brian for what he does now, and praise him for the possible job promotion, ain't no way in bloody hell I'm going to walk into that mess and replace him. uh-uh. But guess who knows her way around that mess. The one and only me.
Remember that sense of impending doom I was feeling. I think I just pinpointed the place where it was coming from.
Oh well, maybe a few miserable games of pool will help ease the tention.
Maybe.
-the end-
