Tough Times Lately
I know super heroes like Stache Gordon are not supposed to have feelings but I think it is time to get something off my chest. Lately I seem to have been catching tough break… after tough break, after tough break.
First of all, my cat Sprinkles (go ahead and laugh, the name was supposed to be ironic) passed away. She was an old cat… and not the kind that has a moustache so I was kind of alright with it. But things just seemed to get worse from there.
One of my best friends has been in hospital all week. He started out just feeling a bit rough— a bit of a stomach ache after I had cooked for him. As it turns out… the doctors told him that it was Salmonella and asked if he had eaten any undercooked poultry lately. I don’t claim to be a top-class chef but I am not terrible either!
Anyways, he finally got out of the hospital yesterday and will not talk to me. I spoke to his girlfriend and she basically told me never to call him again and that there was no way he would ever forgive me. She had some more choice words as well but I will try to keep that off record because we all know there is no need for bad language.
And just yesterday, I came into work just a few minutes late. I thought it wouldn’t be a big deal but things escalated really quickly. I should get into the full thing because it was pretty hilarious but again, should probably be easy with the swearing and bad words on here. Anyways, long story short it ended with my boss verbally assaulting me, telling me I was “no good” bordering on useless at my job and told me to “get the f***” out of his sight.”
I called up my Mom hoping that I could catch a break and have someone to talk to, but she didn’t want to talk about it and had no sympathy really. She told me that I had been a terrible son lately and not to go crying to her…. she suggested I speak to some of my extended family and see if they might help me out but that I had treated her so poorly and been so neglectful that she didn’t have time anymore and to stop only coming around when I needed something.
