PETE stole my bike: DC ∞

i don't see myself making 68 let alone living past it so i'm guessing i'm at least middle aged. but i'm totally cool with that. age is just a number, etc. etc.

i might feel differently if i didn't have the maturity level of a 15 year old.

someone from a "407" area code which appears to be disneyworld has been calling me incessantly for the past, oh, 4 weeks. never, ever leaves a message, calls at least 5 times per day. i do not answer phone calls from people i do not know because A) i hate phones B) every time i've done such a thing it's been a horrible terrifying ex calling me to bitch out on something or another anyway. but now, i am not answering purely out of spite.

is this the incorrect instinct?? i'm wondering if it is perhaps tony dungy, calling me from disneyworld, offering me a coaching position, and i am blowing my chances.

do not want

no absolutely correct. i didn't answer calls from my parents for months when they got a new area code only because i didn't recognize it. i never answer the phone unless i'm expecting a call from someone i who may not be calling from a number in my phone book.

i'm wondering if it is perhaps tony dungy, calling me from disneyworld, offering me a coaching position, and i am blowing my chances.

ok, if i thought this i'd be checking my phone every two minutes just to make sure i was still getting a signal or something. you have to answer now. are you up for special teams, strength & conditioning, or linebackers coach?

If I came back as a dolphin
Would U listen 2 me then?
Would U let me be your friend?
Would U let me in?
U can cut off all my fins
But 2 your ways I will not bend
I'll die before I let U tell me how 2 swim
And I'll come back again as a dolphin

this is the meeting is just had
1an: so i'm sure you have heard by now about d4rrel
me: yeah, he told me himself on tuesday!
1an: well i just wanted to let you know some things (blah blah blah about a career fair and interview process and # of candidates etc etc). i mean, basically, we need to take some of the load off of you. you're the only person selling any ads on the team, to be honest.
me: lol yeah i know you'd be fucked if i went on a bender or something (nb: i actually said this)
1an: lol yeah don't do that! i'm serious, though. so, i would like to get you more involved in a lot of the higher level processes, i think maybe we need to get you in on managerial type stuff........
me: (thinking) DO NOT WANT DO NOT WANT BOXCAR BOXCAR NO NO NO PLZ SAVE ME SHAMU
1an: ...first, this is an admission of a mistake on my part. you're going to be taking back over the c0ld spr1ng harb0r account, and i'm going to reassess the key accounts anyway, let's see what we can do with that. i think you'd be a better fit for quite a few of them...
me: (thinking) HOW DOES THIS HELP EXCUSE ME BUT WTF R U DOIN
1an: ...also, the interview process is going to start on monday. i'd like you to be responsible for this, have you ever interviewed people before?
me: (dumbfounded) yes, at my last job, and at the radio station i had to do that too but neither were very professional places lol.
1an: lol radio station! cool. anyway, yeah, i think it'd be best to have you do this, so we can make sure the entire team is working with you, i think you'd be kind of supervisory...
me: (head explodes)

so i went to the korean and flirted for some free coffee to make myself feel better but it only half helped.

WTF DO I HAVE TO DO AROUND HERE? I AM ALREADY WASTING 98% OF MY DAY ONLINE AND SHOW UP HUNGOVER 73% OF THE TIME AND THIS IS THE THANKS I GET.
