Busy Bee / Disappointing "Friends"
Tuesday, September 02, 2008So I had been an insanely busy bee for the last couple weeks. In addition to working a little bit of overtime at the normal job, I also managed to work nights every night of the Minnesota State Fair. So basically it was all work all day from about 9am to 2am. Believe me it was WAY nice to sleep in past noon this weekend.
Turns out I definitely will be needing the extra money from the State Fair. Well, the money that didn't already go to eating tons of fair food.
Big Mike decided to move out. While it was probably inevitable he'd fall into the clutches of his woman, I was hoping it would happen a little more nicely for me. Initially he told me two weeks ago he was looking to move in October. Then, a week ago he kindly informed me he was actually going to move out this weekend. Since the friendly lease I wrote him way back when didn't specify a move-out notice he basically told me he wasn't going to pay for sept. Now the weekend has come and gone, but he still has some stuff at my place and hasn't given back the keys. I don't doubt when I kindly remind him he said he'd be out Sunday and it's now the new month he'll refuse to pay anything. I rented him the place as a friend and now he's taking advantage of it. Disappointing.
On the possible upside, I have a bite for a new roommate on Roommates.com: A very pretty albeit non-single girl. But, where there's one good looker, there's usually friends. She seems friendly as far as one can read into a brief initial email.
On another disappointing note, I think I've completely given up on the idea of being friends with The Trucker. While there are definitely personal also small "co-friend" reasons that I'd like to be a friend to her, it's just not worth it. The more I get to know her the more it seems everything she says tends to be either a lie, or at the least partial BS. That and current actions combined with what she's done in the past are basically insulting. Another highly disappointing situation. I had hope there was a lot more of a good person deep inside her, but quite obviously there's very little.
And now this week marks the first week I'll be going to school again. I'm going back to the U of M to finish my degree in Aerospace Engineering. So yeah, full time work and part time school. Still definitely going to be a busy bee! Wish me luck!
