I've got ho's....

I really don't know where to start in terms of work drama so I'll just start with the most recent shit. I don't particularly like working in my office at all. I've realized that people in Vegas arent like NYers. They like to be all up in everyone's biz and make their biz everyone else's biz. I can't stand that and I've gotten to the point where I only go out with the group just to see what the fuck is gonna go down once they get enough drinks in them. I'm never disappointed.

Last week we all went out to celebrate Boston's bday. Now if you know me, I do not turn down free drinks. I've never done it in the past and I won't let my hatred of this girl stop my from getting my drink on. So we were all out and out of nowhere, she smacks Meathead in the back of the head (hard) for no reason. It would also be important to note that I personally think she's trying to fuck him (shocker), so any and all attention she can get is only good for her. So the night goes on and we all leave to go to local bar when I decide that, having to see Boston on an 8 hour/5 day basis, that I don't really want to meet them at the local spot. I come to find out that at the local bar, Boston proceeds to get (or already was) really hammered and decides to start crying about how she doesn't understand why I don't like her and all this other bullshit. The best part of this sage is that I WASN'T EVEN THERE. I didn't go because I do not like to hang out with people I don't like and if I'm out of the office, there is no reason for me to be nice to her. Well this only starts the shitstorm I've been dealing with for the past week.

I'm not the type of person where I feel that everyone has to like me. If you don't like me, or I don't like you, we work together and that's it. When you start crying to people I also have to work with that you're upset because you don't know why I don't like you, it becomes my problem. Now it is. Much like the old Scarface Saga, I am now dealing with a crazy bitch that flies off the hanmdle when she has too much to drink whether I'm there or not. I haven't sat her down yet and said anything to her because I know what will happen if I do: I'll get fired. I'm not good at hiding the way I feel about someone, especially if I don't like them. So I have to pretend to play nice with her in the sandbox just so I don't get in trouble. Isn't that some bullshit?

So anyway, she goes nuts last week in front of everyone, and now I'm to blame. To be honest with you, I really don't give a shit. I don't want to get fired, and I doubt I will....but the "perception" is that I'm the one making Boston miserable because according to her, I'm just evil. Whatever. She's just nuts if you ask me, but again, that's just my opinion. I havent spoken to her about it yet because she's gone, but I will make it a point to have a little sit down with her when I have a chance.

I swear, everyone out here is nuts. I feel like I may be the only sane person.

The Cast

I thought that before I started out with the work drama, I would at least clarify the people involved. I decided to list the Cast as what my own nicknames are for them. Here goes from the top down with the main characters:

My Boss: Big Chops - Guy who is like 33 with 4 kids who likes to frequent strip clubs.
Meathead: You already know about this guy. Looks like a guy on steroids with an awful crooked penis.
Fat Girl: The girl who has a great attitude, it's just she weighs 400 pounds.
B12 Dude: This is the Meathead's best friend whom also works with us. Dating a girl who is legally blind and knows about all the drama already.
Fat Boy: This is the guy that I'm friends with that has the hook up everywhere. Thinks he's the shit, but he doesn't realize how bad he smells. Also an avid skiier (if you know what I mean by that).
Old Dickhead: My direct partner at work. Been around so long he's older than dirt. Has the most annoying wofe known to ANYONE, ANYWHERE.
Boston: The girl from there that may be the biggest idiot I've ever met in my life. Got a really bad boob job and goes to the local bar alone because she has no friends.
Young One: My other partner who is only 23 or some shit. Recently found out she stabbed me in the back. Isn't really PC and is a pothead, but I won't hold the pothead part against her.

Those are the main players and as others surface, I'll detail their shit as well. Trust me, I'm about to blow up everyone's spot.

Since you been gone......

yes it has been forever since I updated this site. I think I've written here before that there really isn't much to write, but I was wrong. There is PLENTY to write and I've just been lazy about it. I'm going to pack a bunch of updates onto this site so I hope everyone has enough to enjoy, because God knows, my life here in Vegas is filled with more drama than NYC.

On the brighter side of things.....

I have to admit for all the shit I talk about my office, there are some cool cats as well. One is a new mom that was a crazy stoner in a past life. I think she is my favorite. She's got this crazy 'need to make money' attitude and I love it. She is actually really good at her job and I try to work with her as much as possible. She has done extremely well with this company and I hope I can follow in her footsteps. I just need to work a little harder (which has been the case elsewhere...). There is also this cute fat girl who is getting married soon and she's fun to be around also. She's from the Northwest and has a fun attitude and she loves to drink. She is also kinda of redneck but her style doesn't really bother me. I mean, how many people do you know that we take off their shoes in the middle of a dancefloor at a club no less, and walk around barefoot? She told me it took her like 3 hours to clean her feet later on. That part was definitely kind of disgusting.

I'm really looking forward to the weekend and next week. I got some time off coming to me and I cant wait to lay out by the pool and drink all day. I know it sounds lushy, but hey it's the closest thing I have to a vacation. Everyone have a happy 4th and be careful.

Bang Bang....I Shot You Down.....

Bang bang, I shot you down
Bang bang, you hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, I used to shoot you down.

Over this past weekend, some people around me were in for a wicked treat: the unexpected reincarnation of my evil twin Virginia. The reason why I call it this is because there have been times in the past when I got super drunk and said some very mean things to people I was around. In this case, it actually ended up being the meathead.

The worst part about when you do shit like that, get too hammered and then start talking shit, is most of the time you don't remember what you said. In the past, people I've done this to have at least reminded me of the awful things that I said and I can appropriately apologize and suck up until they forgive me. This time, I wasn't able to remember what I said and so I just had to apologize for things I said that I don't remember. This all happened Friday night and then when I had to see Meathead on Saturday, I felt really bad. I must have said some really fucked up shit, because I made him cry. He is super sensitive and I know shouldn't have say anything and I can't honestly remember why I said these things. Alcohol makes you do stupid things.

I've done everything I can do in terms of apologizing and trying to make things right, but some people aren't as strong as others. I've been in situations where I was on the receiving end of someone being too drunk and losing it but I really thought I got over that part of being drunk. I can't remember if I had any reason to be mad at the Meathead, but apparently I did and I let him have it. I felt even worse when he started to cry.

I made a HUGE mistake

So I've been thinking about this whole Vegas thing for a while now. I keep thinking about what drove me to this shithole town. I don't mean its a shithole like Live Bait. I mean a shithole like the place where all degenerates go that have no other place to go. People talk about Vegas and it's "vices". What the fuck about this town isn't a vice? Or what in town town isn't an epidemic? Drugs, alcohol, hookers, gambling....we got it all and everyone has a taste for it. But that has nothing to do why I hate it.

Again, all I keep thinking about is....what the fuck made me decide to move here? I had a couple of failed relationships in NYC, but I can't believe that's the only thing that ran me out of town. I had a good job....I wasn't working as hard as I could, but for some reason I look back now and think I must have been preoccupied with something. I had a nice apartment in Brooklyn, which I didn't mind going home to and I had great friends. I can't help but think I made the biggest fucking mistake of my life by moving out here. Vegas has been kinda good to me....but its also been really bad. I've lived in NYC so long that I don't know if the whole west coast lifestyle is for me. I know I was complaining about NYC up until I left, but I didn't mean it. I like my job out here, but at the same time I don't. I don't really like where I live and I feel like I'm just being nice to people because I want to have friends. Not meaningful friends, people that you hook up with randomly or just hang out with cause you have nothing else to do. I'm not about the crazy side of Vegas and partying on the strip for nights on end. That's cool every now and again, but that shit gets mad expensive after a while, even if you're drinking Bud Light (and don't even get me started on Bud Light).

I guess I'm going thru a reflective stage. I think I never really wanted to leave NYC, I just did it because I knew I could. My folks were out here for a time and I guess I felt I could hang out for a minute and then leave. Not so. Coupled with some shit at work that's happened recently, I'm really not happy here. This is a great place to visit, but its an awful place to live. Fuck this joint.

Mad hatred:
- driving everywhere
- 80% of colorado people
- 10% of utah people
- 10% of every other kind of fuck up you can imagine
- the fact that dating a stripper is looked upon as "good"
- the fact that running a blockbuster video store is looked upon as a "career"
- saying "dude" too much
- saying "legit" too much
- driving fucking everywhere

I can't list any good things right now.

People still annoy me

This is my second full summer living out here in Las Vegas and it's starting to get hot. Obviously, it's a different kind of heat that you experience on the East Coast, but it's still disgusting. Not only that, but everyday I drive by the Palms pool, it makes me want to quit my job for 3 months and enjoy cold beers by the pool and not have to worry about putting people to work. I know that's all a pipe dream though.

Not anything too crazy has been going on. Last week, Boston (whom I still can't stand) was out of the office and I didn't have to hear about any of her dumb stories. You can bet that when she showed up at work this morning she didn't hesitate to tell people about how her apartment is infested with ants. How gross. If that happen to me, the last thing I would do is tell people about it (although when I lived in NYC, I did have a little mouse in my apartment that terrorized me for like 2 months). She must be doing some nasty shit in her apartment in order to have the place infested with them. Anyway, I know she'll probably be around this weekend so I'll have some legitimate updates on her whoring around. Her work attire has gotten better since everyone told her she looks like a $2 ho so I guess that's a move in the positive direction.

We've been hiring and promoting a lot of people so I'll have another, better update later in the week. In the meantime, I saw The Killers in concert at the Hard Rock so if you have a chance to see them live, do it.

The Final Episode: Sopranos

I really don't know what to say about the final episode of The Sopranos. I didn't think the acting was all that great. I thought the theme was somewhat consistent (by theme I mean the closure of unresolved issues), and I still think Uncle Junior is the man. How much better could it have gotten with him in the end, sans dentures not remembering that he "ran North Jersey". We didn't get to see whether Silvio lived or died and no one will know if in the end, the whole Soprano family was taken out.

I loved this show for a long time and I know I've said before that it lost me for a while, but I think David Chase did an excellent job both writing and directing the series finale. So long Sopranos and thanks for the great memories.

TV Review: Sopranos

Holy fucking shit I really can't believe that this show is about to end. Last Sunday's episode with both Bobby and Silvio biting the dust was amazing. I really loved this show during it's first couple of seasons because I thought it was refreshing and new. They lost me for a little while after about Season 3, but I came back to it because the acting is stellar. I don't think there is a female dramatic role that can beat Carmela Soprano.

I don't know how this is all going to end. I think it would be a shame if Frank Vincent ends up killing Tony. For those of you who don't know, Frank Vincent is Phil Leotardo. He's been in tons of gangster movies (the most memorable for me is when he played Billy Bats in Goodfellas), but for him to take down the biggest gangster on TV just isn't right. Part of me wants to see Tony kill Phil in the most dramatic and bloddy way possible. I'm tired of seeing AJ act like a fucking idiot with all that "woe is me" attitude he's got going on. Who knows what will happen? What we do know is that next week the show ends. For good.

The anticipation is killing me!!!!

water under the bridge

Holy shit, I really must be getting older or wiser. Last week, I decided to squash all the beef I had with everyone around me at the office. I know I was stone-cold sober when I did this and it's made me feel a lot better. It doesn't mean that I still don't hate Boston, because I do. I just decided that it was probably better for me to leave her alone and stop talking shit. I know she went to my boss and complained about me and I'm really not trying to get fired over her hooker ass.

So in an effort to eliminate a bunch of high profile drama in my life, going forward I will only be talking shit about this whore (and all others on this site). As I'm trying not to say too much in person, expect a lot of updates.
