“Why don’t you just come to work for me?’ I rolled my eyes.

Alex ran a small cyber security company out of her apartment, but she rarely had jobs, and I knew nothing about computers. “I’m not really sure I wanna work for a college dropout.” I said, slipping my coat on. Alex pouted, moving close. “That’s a Princeton dropout to you.”  she scoffed.

I wrapped my scarf, one that Alex had knit, around my neck and sighed. Alex gave me a hug; her thin arms were uncomfortable but strangely comforting at the same time. “Just don’t do anything stupid okay?” she gave a quick peck on the lips and ruffled my hair. “Later, Perry.” I slipped on my boots and opened the door. “Yeah, later.”

I missed the bus by five minutes. So I had to walk instead, trotting along the icy sidewalks along with every other hoi polloi in the city. Alex and I had a special relationship. It wasn’t exactly romantic, in fact that was the last thing it was. We were friends, best friends in fact, but she was more like a mom or an older sister then a romantic partner.

She was always getting on about me doing the grocery shopping or cleaning up her apartment, but I didn’t really mind. After all, she was letting me stay in a very nice apartment for free, so picking up fruits and feminine products at the store was the least I could do. I have to admit it; it was kind of weird to have nothing but a box of tampons and a bundle of bananas in the checkout line.

But I regret nothing.

Kind of.

this is so funny to me,  i am going to write it and then tell them to their face.

i work in a  deli, and for the last couple months every single day of the week the ladies i work with don't get along and are in denial about every little freaking thing! its  always she said this, she isn't doing this right, she keeps hiding behind the wall texting on her phone and eating. and those people who are complaining about what the other people are doing to them when they work together. is doing the same bullshit to me when i work with them. i just smile(when really i want to deck them in the fucking face) and say i am sorry and walk away and i am laughing inside( put me in a straight jacket)!. because it never ends. its the same story, same lies. so i am going to mention it to them and see what they say.
