There are just some days that you just know cannot get any better....
I went to bed last night believing that i did not have to bartend this morning... i was working this evening... fine and dandy. I reset my alarm to go off around 1:30pm to give me some time to clean up around the apartment... (sounds good to me lol). I was estatic... get some nice sleep for once .... about 9:45am i am rudely awoken from my nice warm bed to discover one of my best friends (and coworkers) rapidly banging on my front door...
"wilum what are you doing?" I asked... to which i was told...
"You're suppossed to be at work right now."
"No im working at 5:00pm... "
"No YOU"RE working NOW"
I jumped up and called my bar. The bartender even checked the schedule while i was on the phone... i was SUPPOSSED to be at work... Dumbass i am was suppossed to work 9-5 today when i thought i was working 5-1....
Shit...
I got dressed and ran to the bar... By this time i was an hour late... The bartender was alright tho and i bought him a drink... a nice... stiff ... drink... ;)
Work was slow... made decent money.... Then i get a phone call....
"David's house is on fire"
Holy shit....
My hubby takes Wilum and runs to Davids house... Yep... its on fire.. I've got another hour till i can do anything about it...
Now i know because i was an hour late i shouldnt bitch about my relief being on time... But all i wanted to do was get to David.. He is one of my best friends. He was my hubby's best man at our wedding.... David is the most caring person i have ever met.. .also the wealthiest... I love David so much... he does so much for everyone... He is the most kind hearted person. The man has fabulous karma. (with this news came the news that David and another friend of ours John were fighting BIG TIME... john told David he wanted him out of his life.... great..) I was relieved on time (to my excitement... ) and ran out the door to David...
What do you say to someone who just watched their house burn... Luckly it wasn't destroyed... Electrical fire in the attic.... There wasn't much damage to the house from the fire... but who knows what has water damage and smoke damage...
David comes to our hang out bar... He works there as well as my hubby. We decide we need to drink .. .( hey this is the french quarter ... it's what we do best... )
John doesnt want david to stay with him.... only for a few days. John just wants to calm down after their blow up. Fine David can stay with me and my hubby. Wilum will stay with John...
We are all sitting in the bar joking and laughing and trying to look at the bright side... .THEN the general manager of the bar... ( as old and drunk as he is.. stumbles over to david and PROCEEDS to tell him that he is FIRED.)
FUCKING GREAT JUST WHAT THE MAN NEEDS...
Not only has one of his best friends and love of his life told him he never wants to see him again.... his house catches fire and loses his job that he loves...
Anything that can go wrong will go wrong...
just what the man needs...
talk about no class....
Right now im waiting on john to walk david back to my house...
Why does Murphy's law always have to kick you when you're down?
