I got a package from Ken today. He sent me back a couple books, a couple CDs, two dollars, a picture of my cat, and the postcard Dirk got from Alternative Tentacles Records. The accompanying letter was just a list of other stuff that he's missing, as well as a plea to Dirk to give him back the record (George Carlin) that Ken sold him. He also returned something that Katie borrowed from him, a book called "Peep Show", with a little surprise for Katie. He hid a note in the book that basically attacked her and took uncalled-for at her sexual preferences. Does this strike anyone else as slightly immature?
Ken's always blamed Katie for our break-up. The arrogant bastard thought that Katie talked me into dumping him so she could have him. We laughed for hours about that. And he blamed Katie's influence when I started refusing to hang out with him after I dumped him. Hey, he was going psycho-obsessive on me. Katie didn't even care enough to set him straight.
I removed the note, of course. There's no need for Katie to read it. And my loyalties lie with her, not with an ex who abandoned the band when we needed him most.
I finally got some of my own back at work today. Alex loaded me down with assignments, promising that he'd help me out with them. Of course, that never happened. He was in and out of the office all day, talking to his "friends" all over the building. Well, it was almost time for me to go, and I had a bunch of things to enter into the computerized tracking system. Then, the program wouldn't work right...so Claire told me to give the assignment to Alex to complete. When the program started working right again, Claire put her hand on my shoulder to stop me before I could speak, and whispered, "Let him do it. He's done nothing all day." Alex glared at me until I left.
I'm not going to watch Jerry Springer again, after what I saw tonight. This guy got his girlfriend on the show to tell her that he'd been cheating on her with another guy for the past four months. She was devastated. I felt so bad for her, just watching her, and when she saw the guy her boyfriend had cheated on her with, she just lost it. Threw the teddy bear he'd given her at him, ran to the back, and collapsed. And Jerry was trying not to grin the whole time. The fucking sadist enjoys the pain of these people. And he tries to cover it up with a look of sympathy.
More proof that Dirk's mother considers Krisco her child: she bought Krisco a case of Sunkist (Krisco's favorite soda) and told Dirk and Aaron (his brother) that they weren't allowed to touch it. And then, went so far as to hide it from them. When they found it, they started drinking it as fast as possible, of course, just to hear Krisco whine. Even Aaron's getting sick of her moaning, I hear. He torments her as much as possible.
