Kind of Blue But It's Not So Bad

Thanks and much love to my coworker edN for giving me a ton of Miles Davis records. This was a good ass day and an even better ass night. One bump in the road and it strikes at the heart of the only real fucked up situation in my life. If you get one piece of advice from this blog, let it be this – DO NOT WORK TWO FUCKING JOBS! I love both of my jobs, but when they collide it sucks dog balls.

Taught this morning and gave the kids quiz #1. Ate lunch and went to work at hhe. While at work, my Dept Chair (I actually have two since I teach in two Depts but that’s another fucking story) left a message on my cel that they need to get a hold of me right away. I took my dopey little 10 minute break at 4pm or something like that, and was going to call my beautiful wife. I noticed there were quite a few messages on my cel that ended with the words ‘I need you to call me right back.’ Fine.

I sifted through the calls and decided I would not return the LA&S call, I would not return the call from the studio (again it’s only a ten minute break) but I would return the call from the Dept Chair above…I am lucky to work for two very cool people – neither of whom deserve to have an employee like me.

A few of my coworkers came bouncing out from break all happy, smoking their cigs asking me ‘How’s it going?’….


While I am waiting for my Dep Chair to pick up the phone I tell my friends from hhe “Whatever you do in this life, try not to work two fucking jobs.”

Right as those words came out of my mouth, my supervisor at hhe was walking up the parking lot, and my Dep Chair picked up her phone and said “Yes Ed?”

Swell.

Everyone who knows me knows I have a big fucking mouth and I think they can deal with it….especially my supervisor at hhe. He’s a baseball fan and one of the all time sweet people. My Dept Chair in the soc dept is someone who teaches classes on the family, work etc…and she built my class schedule around my Alex care schedule.

But on days like today, when my break at one job is spent dealing with crap from my other job – I say BULLSHIT on this and I can’t wait until I don’t have to do this anymore.

KJ made it all better…

It’s like the “Do It For Her” Simpsons episode…it all becomes clear when I get home eh.

Congrats to Ghana. If there is one thing I like about big time kick ball, it gives the rest of the world a chance to get back at the USA for its international fuckwadishness. It’s not like it’s a real sport or anything but revenge is a dish best served on the pitch.

whatever the hell that is.

For some time (far too long a time) after graduating college, I had four part-time jobs. The biggest problem (aside from having 4 jobs and still barely making the rent) was that, when I got home, I had no idea how to answer the phone. Sometimes I'd cycle through all four business names before I realized where I was.

Moral: Try not to work more than one job; the logistics will kill ya.

I was expected to start at the Jewels at 9am after a midnight to 8am shift at the gas station. I was wiped out so I called in sick at Jewels. But my Jewels boss saw me sitting back in the little gas station kiosk when he drove past at 5am. I almost got fired.

Are the people from Ghana called Ghanareans? For some reason, that sounds funny to me.
