So I came back from vac. on Jan. 5th. I was going to upstairs to get some lunch with my buddy Ernie but he had to leave to go to another store so I just ended up making myself a pizza for Food Ave. (It was a buffalo chicken pizza), I ended up eating it in the breakroom. My STL Don was there and he was like "I see you don't ask if I wanted one" then was like "did you pay for that?" Now I though he was joking around with me and I lied and said that I did. Now again I have done this better and it not be a problem but yea not this time. So I go in on Friday Jan. 6th. I am scheduled to work 7-3. So I do what I have to do. Everything seems fine. I am on my way to lunch at 1130ish. I see Jennifer at the time clock and say hi to her. On my way to go upstairs to the food court Hal the LPETL stops me and tells me that Don wants to talk to me. So I'm like ok what is this all about. So I go into his office and he brings up the pizza. He asks me if I really did pay for and I say yes. Then he is like well we looked up the register transactions and at the camera's and it shows that you did not pay for it. So I'm like yea I didn't but Ill pay for it now. But he said that it was too late and that he had to get with "other people" to decide what to do. While I'm hearing all of this my brain is just turning to mush. I tell him that I just am going through alot with life and the whole Jennifer thing. Then he says something that just shocked me but again i was just not strong enough to say anything. He said that there was a rumor that I was dating her. At that moment I should have said to bring Jennifer and who ever said that in his office and put that stupid rumor to bed. But I didn't. I told him that I wanted a answer if they planned on firing me or not. I didn't want to wait on an answer. I had to work the weekend and didn't want to worry if I had a job or not. So I went upstairs after that and just looked up ways on how to kill myself. I had told myself if I did get fired from target that I would kill myself. I just could not put Melissa through that again and myself. So after lunch I just hung out in Food Ave just a zombie. I was so scared. Finally Hal comes to get me. We go to Dons office and I see the envelope and know that they had fired me. I just broke down right there. I could not believe it. I really liked that job. And my team really loved me too. I sat in the office for about 15 minutes and then I was escorted out by Hal.
The first person I called was Justin. But he didn't answer. Then I called John N., John G, Melisa, Nicole, Jenni, Dawyne, my Ma, Kiara, Dana. I first went in the parking garage, then walked around it, then hung around there. Finally I went home. I called Patti (she started at the same time I did and we both became friends with Jennifer. She also stopped being friends with her). After that I went out to one of the Starbucks girls last day get together at Fridays. I was just a zombie the whole time. While I was in John G.car I while he went into Target I must have listened to Numb like 10 times.
The next few days I just slept. I was just too depressed to do anything. I did go out with Tom, Melissa, and Melissa W. for a few drinks. Then I went to the 99 with Dwayne for a few. I got into a fight with Melissa on the way there. It was bad. That next week I signed up for unemployment and tried to get food stamps but that didn't work.
So I decide that I just could not really do retail anymore and decided to go into the career that I always wanted to do which was to be a cook. I applied to Dave and Busters. I got an interview on Jan. 12th. I felt it went well. But it was just so hard waiting for the KM to get back to me. After a week of waiting I just said fuck it and went in on the 19th. And I GOT IT!!!!! I was so excited to be back at work. I really sucked not working.
So things were going alright. Me and Melissa went out for the first time in awhile to celebrate in February. We went out to Boston to go and try out the Sunset Grill and Tap. It was pretty good. There beer selection is HUGE!!! On are way to catch the train home I realize that I lost my phone. Oh man was I mad. It always seems that whenever I have a great time with my wife I always seem to fuck it up some how. So we ended up going to Best Buy so I could get a new one. It really sucked cause I was going to go to Metro or TMobile when my contract expired later on in the year.
In March me and Melissa went to Mohegan Sun. It was a good time. We also went to Denny's that night. We had always wanted to go there. Later on in the month I went into Boston with my friend Ed and saw the movie Jeff who lives at home. When we got back to Quincy Adams T station we found out that his car was not there. We had parked in the Home Depot parking lot and they towed it. It set me back like $75. Yea not go timing seeing as I was really not getting great hours at Dave and Busters.
So other then dealing with my depression not much happened for the next few months. It was just really work, enjoying the Panthers first time in the playoffs for the first time in 12 years. It was so awesome. (Now if they can just get back to playing now. Stupid fucking lockout). Me and Melissa celebrated are 13th year together. We went to the Olive Garden and saw American Reunion. I ended getting called in to work. Melissa wasn't to happy about that but like I said I needed the hours.
I started in a show for my good friend Tom. Here is the 2 episodes that I am in.
Seeing as I was not getting the hours at Dave and Busters I applied to Legal Seafood and got the job. It didn't last long. I was only there for like a 2 weeks. Also during this time I get a bike and took a trip to my old place of residents. I took a pic of my house. After that I went to Squaw rock and rode around there and they sat at the seawall on Dorchester Ave. While I was sitting there a couple of cop cars pull up and ask if I was on Shepard Street taking pics. I said that I was and they said that the people that live in the house I use to live in had called them. They check me out and found out that I was clean and let me go. It was so fucking stupid. I tell you people are so paranoid now a days.
So the next few months not much happened. Just getting shit hours at work, getting a new KM, go a brown hat, dealing with my depression, and yea that's about it. In July I was missing being in management and retail so I started applying to places in the mall. When I went into CVS I saw a guy that I use to work with at Best Buy. He was the store manger at the CVS now. So I was like sweet Ive got this. I started July 16th. I applied as a Shift Supervisor Full Time. Yea he didn't put me in as that and he never let me tell him what I wanted as pay. I was looking to hopefully start at 12-12.50 an hour but nope he started me off at 11. Which was bullshit seeing as I started my first stint with CVS at 12.00 an hour. So it really was not starting off that great. But I stuck with it. After about a few months I was like Fuck it. I quit in October and never looked back. I tried to give my 2 week notice like a few times with him but he just would not let me so I just stop showing up. It really was a bad mistake going back into retail. I really hated it there the 3 months I was there. I was so angry and it affected my main job. I was not as strong as I use to be and I didn't like that.
Me and Melissa went to Las Vegas for her 30th Birthday. We stayed at the Luxor.We went for 4 days. Monday Oct. 15- Oct. 18. It was a nice hotel but the beds sucked. I didn't sleep that well The day we got there we ate at the Luxor buffet and then went to the Coca Cola Factory. After that we went to the CVS on the Strip and got some stuff. Then just called it a night and went back to are hotel. The next day we had breakfast at the Sugar Factory. It was pretty good. Went and visited the Flamingo Habitat at the Flamingo. Then went to the Madame Tussaud. Walked around the Fashion Show Mall. We tried the oxygen bar thingy that they had there. It was pretty cool. After that we went to Siegfried & Roy's Secret Garden and Dolphin Habitat. Then we went and walked around the Form Shops and ate at the Bacchanal Buffet at Caesars. The Buffet was really not worth what we paid.When we got back to are Hotel Melissa had blisters all over her feet. So she was in alot of pain and could not walk all that great. The next day we had breakfast at More the Buffet. Then we went and bought tickets for the Bodies Exhibition and Goretorium. Then we checked out the Miracle Mile Shops. It was alright. Then we went to go see Taken 2. (I saw Taken 1 on the plane ride there.) It was pretty good. We went back to the hotel after that to rest up and then went to the bodies thing. It was really cool. Then we went and ate at McDonalds. After that we went to the Goretorium. It was more funny then scary. We had a drink on the outside balcony they had a the bar. It was facing the Strip. It was really cool. I ended up also having this really hot taco at this taco place. Yea it was hot. I couldn't even finish it. My mouth was burning the half of the walk back to our hotel. We went into a few casinos on the way back and I play a few slots. I did pretty good on them. We went to this restaurant called Tender. They had this Pumpkin Pie Martini. It was alright. It was a fun trip. We cant wait to go again this year. We don't plan on doing half of the stuff we did this time and we plan on staying in the middle of the strip as well.
So that's about it. Not much happened in the last few months really. I got to a Purple Hat at work. All in all this year sucked and I really hope that 2013 is alot better
