b,b,b,benny and the jets
wow! Benny [the neighbor guy that borrows me, to buy himself a case of Bud Light...of whom I haven't seen any activity at his house since I lent him the money] drives up today, and apologizes profusely; 1st, about waking this 3rd shifter up, and 2ndly, about not paying me back last Wednesday for the beer, as he promised he would. turns out he has no license or insurance and got popped by the po-po, and has been spending time behind bars. I wouldn't be surprised if he was drunk at the time too. anyway, he didn't come wake me up to pay me back, he came over to borrow another $40 so he can pay me the full $60 on June 6th
. dude! ballsy move! I told him that the first $20 was tight for me, and that I couldn't help him. he didn't get all insistent, like I thought he would. I wouldn't have caved, had he been. he reminded me of the Dutchman (a guy named Steve, of whom I wrote about in the past, that used to play that 'borrow/make up excuses as to why he can't pay me back' game...I was a bit more gullible back then). Steve taught me the warning signs, and this guy's a huge red flag
! I tell Benny to pay me back when he can. no hurries. I'm sure I'll never see the money, I pretty much wrote it off as a donation to begin with, and he's got a lot of shit to take care of after getting arrested...sucks to be him right about now.us third shifters have to put in an extra shift. this is the second time that third has to do another 10 hours , and the day shift gets to have a three day holiday weekend. it's not fair...yet one more of many absurdities from a place that treats its workers as inmates
nice weekend, weather wise. it's currently partly sunny and 91 degrees. my central air is workin' full time, never really catching up to its setting, but still keepin' the wood-panel submarine cool enough. Brian (almost neighbor/room mate) and I do some lemon garlic pork fillet, and brats along with corn on the cob, 'tator salad for a quick grillin' session yesterday. it was yummy! I, of course, got me some beer drinkin' in (Brian has none, being that AA guy, and all). it was good day! Rosie and I take our 'Sunday drive' with the top down. we likes us them road trips
(that happened before I started drinkin', of course). otherwise, power-naps, barefoot pooperdog walks, relaxing in da lawn chair, etc make for a groove-chicken weekend (the two day holiday weekend that I got, that is...it really should have been a 3 dayer, but oh well). back to working at the stalag tonight, first I gotta take me a shower, and grub out on yesterday's leftovers *ready, GO!*
