Change For A Nickel

If you have change for a nickel I will give you my two cents.

One of the things you should know about me is my distaste for a lot of drama bullshit. If you can see a train coming a mile away then common sense would tell your dumb ass to MOVE OUT OF THE WAY! So it is with drama. Unfortunately some people are blind, deaf and dumb when the drama train comes screeching down the line and they just sit there right on the tracks waiting for the light to turn green. There are a few drama queens out there and you know who you are. I happen to be one of those people that attracts drama queens. No matter how much common sense I throw at these poor helpless creatures, “Drop his ass like a hot potato” or “I wouldn’t go to that party if I were you. You are just setting yourself up.” They just go about their merry business headlong into a wall of disappointment, anguish, anxiety and God knows what else.

I, on the other hand, can see it coming. At least that’s the way I like to tell it. I recently quit working at the neighborhood bar that I frequent. Why did I quit you may ask. Well, first of all the boss made EVERYONE nervous when he walked in the door. Secondly, he only wanted girls with big tits working behind the bar. I’ve gotten a little fatter but not that fat. I could see the latter playing havoc with one of the bartender's psyche. He was sure the owner had it in for him even though he didn’t do anything wrong. I found out the owner did want him gone. The other problem was the new manager practicing a bit of cronyism. She fired a really nice guy to hire some goober (actually he was fine as hell) who didn’t know anything. When I asked her about hiring my friend back she had the NERVE to tell me it was because she needed someone with more experience behind the bar. OH HELL NO! I called her on that one right away. She tried to backslide a bit but to no avail. So with the impending train wreck heading right for me I did the only thing that made sense. I MOVED out of the way. I feel much better for it. Thank you.
