New start; fresh beginnings.
Well, mercury retrograde went out with a bang by really bringing out the crazy and David lost his job at Double Wide. It is really fucked up and most of you probably know the story anyway. For those who may not, it really just boils down to the fact that the owner is bat-shit crazy. Mind you, I've always really liked Kim and never had a problem with her until this. She is cu-koo but it has always been in a pretty fun way. At the same time, one can always sense she is someone for whom you wouldn't want to be on her bad side. Problem is – she just gets a wild hair about something and suddenly out of the blue you ARE on her bad side.
She does not run the bar like a business, and makes everything personal, so instead of just letting someone go (like a normal, sane, business owner), she decided to make it a big drama and hurtful (and, as an added measure, about me too – WTF??). So David's been inconsolable for a couple weeks now (much better this week though) and I've just been pissed off that someone so obviously unstable is even allowed to run a business…
But whatever. It's done, and frankly, so much the better. David hasn't been given a paycheck since last February (I know it's a measly 2.13/hour but come on – I still have to file taxes), he never knew if he was going to piss her off so was anxious all the time, and the bar has gotten considerably shittier the past year anyway. I can count on one hand how many decent bands they have had in 2009. Despite the wonderful memories of our wedding, I'd grown pretty weary of the place and hadn't been much since summer. And I have to say, this aside, I feel like that place is headed towards something really bad. It's just a gut feeling. So despite all the shitty shit, I'm really so relieved David isn't there anymore.
It's kind of sad for Dallas though.
Plus, it is time for him not to bartend anymore! He's gone back to school and this is a good thing for him. We'll miss the money this month, but he'll get something part-time when we get back from Mexico and it will all be fine. In fact, better than fine. GOOD. GREAT.
In addition, we might move to Oklahoma City or Little Rock. I'll just let that sink in for a while.
And we're going to Egypt in December! I am so excited.
I feel like I have all kinds of things to share, and how I've started a list of 101 things I want to accomplish in 1001 days, and I feel it is a fresh new start, and I'm all excited for the future, even if right now we're still nursing some wounds. We're nice people and didn't really deserve it, but I believe karma is a bitch, and Double Wide and those involved sadly, do not have happy times ahead of them.
