Im up at 3:30 its early but going to sleep again isnt going to happen....
So I shower, check my email for time, cancellation, contact info.... the usual.. it costs $40 for fuel and 6 hours of drive time just to make the trip....I'm out by 4:00... an on my way, I stop at the usual happy place for office supplies.... its all good, I show up an hour early sign in and relax get my mind right for study notes and go into pay attention mode....
I talk to a woman from Nicaragua.... cause Im the only one who speaks any Spanish and get her a seat for her CPR class...she tells me about 2012 and how shes scared to go to Cali... and some other stuff.. which was a horror.. sandinistas.. losing her brothers, sister, cousins, friends... finding the bodies of her family.... and my Spanish isnt good enough to answer..
The Instructor for Spanish classes comes....and I double check what I understand....I was on the money...and he intreprets for me so I can answer more that "Yup" in Spanish.. which my GF knows all about.... turns out the interpeter lived only 2 miles from where I grew up.... So he kinda knew my story.... Sometimes you gotta be tough to be white...hahahahah of course now most of my cousins are cafe con leche.... but thats not the story.....
There was no class......... he calls a supervisor.. she says "that class was last week" my email says March 5th... so I sent it in.. Im not retired, but not working $40 is a big deal.... 6 hours of driving is a big deal....
I'm pretty hot...but kept it professional...
OK..... I bolt, buy fresh chilis.... shop, get some cheese.. yoghurt.. a cucumber, everything I've been bitching about..... no sense losing the opportunity...
I stop at a store I like.... take photos... cause its worth seeing and part of my world tour fixation..
I go see the Chinese guy I worked for a few years.. but who hung me up this year and hired 4 transients instead of me.. But whatever...no hard feelings......cheap bastard...
Still I wanted to show how great the stuff was....... the antiques and mega fossils..Theres Mosasaurus jaw set 6 feet long.... a smaller one that was a full skull... ya know..geeky cool..
I'm all happy.. taking the shots and he comes up then says "no photos" of course I say Huh?
"Security reasons"
Oh? What the Communists after you? La Migra? You back on your child support?
He said no..it can show alarm system, camera locations, how the doors are secured, a map of the high ticket items....
So I STFU and showed him the photo I'd taken, then deleted as he watched.... I said no problem I get it......it was serious... so Im fine...
Then I got a revelation......
He told me that someone broke in a year or two ago........it was after I took photos of the containers being unloaded... the inference was pretty plain..
He didnt think of the tweaker mother fucker he kept around that worked "free" for a place to stay...
I just said "thats why you didn't call me to work..... you think Im a thief... why didn't you call the police?", "Right then so I could be cleared... search my house... whatever"...
I take drug tests, empty any bags or pockets, Im asked to..... it doesn't offend me......it just proves Im in the clear..innocent..
It made me sick...... I was there looking for something to add to my decor take some photos for the fluffy one........ I didn't expect that shit at all.....never.. no ones ever lost merchandise, money or anything else on my watch.. Im proud of my record... even breakage was nil.... now theres tons of it.... but winos do what they do...
I'm looking at this guy....Im a good friend, Im loyal..I trust the people I let in my world..... after a while haha...... all I can think is "Punk fuck you" he convicted me without even letting me know theres a problem?
I'd have drug him to my house and let him and the police look at everything and trust me I keep recipts... notes, journals, inventorys..... then graciously accepted his apology and asked for more money...
And that was that...... I crossed him off the work for list....months ago.. I crossed him off the friends list as well.... Tomorrow Im telling people what he said and its not going to go over well at all...
Today had some dandy moments......
