an attempt to tip the scales
it's funny how people react when they are in different situations. some people change a few details, leave out certain truths, or completely lie flat out to your face. It's even more hilarious when you know that the person is lying to you.
There's this guy at my work, whom everyone seems to dislike one way or another, i don't think this guy even realizes that he is despised by so many people at work. And it's not like he doesn't deserve it either. He's lazy; he doesn't like to do his work; he does everything half-assed and therefore screws everyone else over because his duties do not get done and we have to end up doing them after he leaves.
anyway, the point of this blog is not to point out his faults. I mean, we all have our flaws. i don't really mean to be mean or angered towards this guy, i'm just telling the truth about matters. Anyway...
So it's this guy's birthday today, and a couple of nights ago, he asked me to take his close lastnight. I agreed because it's his birthday, right? And i guess he hed this thing planned at a bar and he asked for people to come out to celebrate the annual day of his birthday. Throughout the entire night (he wasn't working that night), people were debating whether or not to go to this planned birthday bash. I feel bad for this guy because all he wants to do is spend his birthday with people he thought were his friends. So the clincher of the evening was when he actually came to one of the cooks working and said "i'm leaving now; it would be cool if you showed up." I just felt really sad when i heard that. It's like he somehow knew in his heart that people weren't going to show up. There's nothing worse than spending your birthday getting drunk by yourself surrounded by strangers, I don't care how much of a jerk/lazy bum you are.
It's like that everywhere i work, everyone always talking behind your back. It's pretty crazy how everyone hates everyone during work situations and everyone is pretty much looking out for themselves. There's this other guy, who gives me rides to work and back, who i'm rather fond of and who i think is pretty much my only real friend at work, who always assumes that people are going to screw him over at work, but he always tries to help people out as much he can because of that. He thinks it's pretty sad (and i agree) that people's intentions are always 'me first, you later' attitude, but i guess that's how the cookie crumbles.
and that's the way it was
better years await us...rustedhalo
