Im a Realist

My boyfriend of 3 years just informed me that he had a secret relationship with some one from work about a year ago. He told me that it only went on for a few months, so there was nothing to worry about.
I asked him why did he lie to me for over a year now. His response was that he did not lie, he just did not want to hurt me.

I had a meeting at noon today, so I didn’t have time to grab lunch before it. It got out around 1, so I decided to run out to Subway and grab something quick for lunch.

I am standing in line and there are only 2 people in front of me. Here comes my turn and I order a “$5 footlong” on wheat. The girl pulls out the last bread from the tray, and I ask her if the bread was fresh. “Of course,” she replied. I pay and sit down to enjoy my sub. I take the first bite to find out that the bread is rock hard.

Here is where the story gets better. I finish the sub without saying anything to the Subway people, because I don’t have time nor energy to argue. I am about to walk out and  see the girl bring our a brand-new tray with wheat bread on it.

Ain’t that a bitch!

So Windows 7 is coming out on October 22, 2009. I am still running Windows XP Pro and will not upgrade to Vista. I have heard too many horror stories. It seems as if Microsoft is just trying a different branding and marketing approach to Vista.

My girlfriend works for an HR department at a local temp agency. Their CEO was dumb enough to upgrade their 27 workstations to a Vista operating system. My girlfriend told me that the company’s IT bills tripled in last 8 months. Does that make sense???

Where I work, we have all Macs, that means no IT bills. Thank goodness, my boss is not an idiot that falls for the latest trends.

So I spend quite a bit of time on the road and I see many bad drivers, and occasionally I could be put on this list.  Today I was not, but someone was… and I almost went road rage on em.  If you are in the ” high speed lane” or properly termed the “passing lane” of a highway, please, for the love of god do not hang out there doing the speed limit.  No I know doing the speed limit is the law, but on a highway, the left lane is for passing not normal traffic.  So if you just sit out there oblivious to the world while numerous people pass you on the right and you refuse to move over; 1 you’re a jerk, 2 you’re a bad driver!

So I had this crazy ride the other day. Dispatcher lets me know there is a ride for me but he said in sounded sketchy. Eventually word comes back the CC is denied. 1 hour later another call comes in, same people, different card. This time its good says the dispatcher. It’s 7 pm, this is a 4,5 drive one way. So I’m driving this guy and his phone goes off. It’s his g/f trying to figure out where the hell he is going overnight. He says he is going to a studio making beats with his friends. He really is going to see this female in the opposite direction. Eventually his mom calls, his sister, his g/f again, his supposed music friends and they are all wondering what the hell he is doing. He is now having second thoughts. He asks me what I would do, but I try not to have him turn me around. As we get closer, this female calls, saying that her mom showed up and now she wants to meet at a hotel. He is really “not feeling this” at all. Meanwhile I need a signature from the person who’s credit card we used, and she claims that that was her cousin who would be there. We get to the address, I knock, these people have no clue wtf is going on or who any of these people are. Great! I call dispatcher, my client calls this female. Now her cousin is on the other side of the state and she won’t meet up with me for the signature. Now my client is signing her name on the contract, he tries to go to this hotel, but there is no reservation in his name like she said. He is like: “Uh man, I ain’t feeling this, lets go home.” No no, not so quickly, this was a one way my man. He is trying to offer me all this money he doesn’t have, talking about hitching a ride back. Then my manager calls me because he got wirried after hearing this story from the dispatcher. He says more then likely the CC is stolen and these people just trying to get a free ride out of the deal. He tells me to tell the guy, have a nice day but here is your shit, and good luck. To make it better, this dude who is cheating on his g/f is now 4,5 hours away in no man’s land, a dead cellphone, no money and a family that is expecting him back a few hours later. Hey, you should always tip the limo driver after a 4,5 hour trip before you ask favors. Limo driver out!!!
