The Cynic Says……

Ok… today’s been fucking weird… no two ways about it. Today could ONLY have been a Monday; no way to mistake it for any other day. Work was just fucked, plain and simple. None of my calls were really all THAT difficult, it’s just that there were so goddamn many of them! Not that this is going to make sense to any of the general public, but we have tons of work orders in the northeast region that are not being assigned to installers (recap: I work for a company that acts as a liason between customers who have ordered DirecTV equipment and their installers). People are sitting on their equipment for 5-6-7 days and still no installer in sight. They’re supposed to be installed within 5 days of receiving their equip… and the installer is actually supposed to contact them within 2 days of them receiving it. It’s just not happening. Too much work, too few installers = Big Trouble in Little China. Our NE regional team is getting swamped and I feel bad for them… but that’s just the way life goes right about now. As if the whole work thing isn’t enough… girls are just acting weird. This cute idiot girl at work keeps smiling and staring as she walks by everytime now… mind you, this is a girl whom I thought hated my guts. Go figure. She’s cute as shit, but dumb as a box of rocks. The kind of girl I’d eat the hell out of a few times and forget about. Then I find out from one of my female friends that she’s got a thing for me. The weird part is that I always joked about her wanting my nuts; now I find out she DOES. She’s reasonably cute, but she’s got a kid. On top of all that, she and one of my best female friends are not on good terms at all. They used to be almost best friends, but shit happened and things aren’t the same between them. I have a feeling that pursuing anything with this girl would damage my friendship with the other one. I think I value my friendship more than finding a girlfriend. Prior to this, I’d been offered a “hookup” Friday night… she even said she’d come get me and she can get a free motel room. The weird thing about all this is that I’m not sure that I don’t want more than that from her. Yes, she’s got 2 kids (what the hell is up with me and chicks with kids?), but they’re both cool as shit….. she and I get along incredibly well, and all her friends dig me too. We’ve always had this weird chemistry going on that neither of us have bothered to explore to any extent. What the hell… might as well give it a shot, ya know?
