Now Playing: All my Boards of Canada cd's over and over and over.
Now Reading: Lost - Gregory Maguire (fucking amazing author!!! Takes classic literary characters and rewrites their stories... sort of, check out Wicked by said author!!! weee!)
I'm not much of a complainer. I have the wisdom to understand the difference between situations that either I fucked up, or someone fucked up for me to no fault of my own. But, I want to recap this last month for my own amusement because ultimately, it's been fucking HYYY-larious. Today has two new entries. And that will conclude my shitty month.
1st: Friends truck gets broken into, I have to replace his window, and $300 of personal effects. Including $90 of check out books from work I never got to read.
2nd: My car got towed while parked in front of my house because it hadn't moved in 24 hrs. Weird Portland law... Grand total on that was $316.84
3rd: I fell in love with a girl, then as soon as I get the balls to show affection, I get dumped because I showed affection. The comedy there goes two fold.
4th. My truck gets broken into. $250 for the window, and a $400 cd player get jacked.
5th. My girl hits on an old friend of mine right in front of me tonight. Hence, I will never be speaking to her again unless it's me asking for her friends phone number. Which leads to my Grand daddy whizbang of a #6.
6th: I got fired from my dream job today. Apparently, the rumors were true. I was hired to be a scab in case the union struck over the holidays. The holidays are over, the union didn't strike, I got canned. I didn't believe it for a second. I was wrong.
I actually thought I'd be at that place for the next 15 years of my life. I never dreamed I'd get canned due to greed. At an independent bookstore no less. I love that place, but they are a Starbucks in disguise. Read any of the media on the store since last October and you'll probably agree. They're still an amazing bookstore with an ideal business model. They've also evolved in the sense that evolution is not truly progress. Evolution is merely a reaction to the enviroment around you. IE: Barnes and Noble, Starbucks, McDonalds, etc...
They're a multi-million dollar bookseller. 100% independent. Management got a taste of how sweet it is when people trust a brand, and now people like me with a huge passion for books and a very genuine love for a job that pays me shit become a statistic. Whatever. I'm going to pee in the gas tank of the dude that fired me.
Fucking hippie douchebag....
