Escorted out VIP Style

So last night was a first for me. I love firsts, they are always fun to laugh about the next day and the next few times you drink. Last night was the first time I was escorted out of a club for not doing anything wrong.

{Sidebar: I am not an alcoholic. Its just that nothing worth writing about really happens in the other parts of my life. Except for some of the men stuff... McRockstar/McGiant..... Anywho}

I went to a club with Meredith and two of her guy friends. And everything was fine until I ran into someone I went to high school with at the bathrooms and both he and one of the guys we were with went to the bathroom. Things seemed to go just fine until after the high school guy came out he wanted to pick a fight with Meredith's friend.

I diffused the situation using the skills I learned in college (see I did get something out of that degree). Then every time we went to a different part of the club he said something to us, which got old real fast and made me remember why I haven't seen that man in at least 6 years.

Finally a little after 1am we were going to the bathroom and the scene got very intense with screaming and insults. Which lead to my charming personality sweet talking the head of security to throw high school boy out and us having not one or even two guards walk us to our cars but five very muscular security guards walking us to our cars. Plus I even got a hug from the head of security who is pretty cute but I'm almost positive that he is dating the poor lifeguard girl who was stuck sitting on the perch opening night when it was about 50' out.

But whatev! We got had a VIP exit and maybe next time I'll find out if cute security guy is going to become McSecurity. ;)

McGiant

So last night started with fun drama with my Meredith (I'll get to that later) but apparently it ended with me texting McGiant for about an hour and then me falling asleep during that conversation. But.... we started the talking again in the morning when I got up to go get drug tested for my new job. So that reminded me that I needed to write about McGiant on here because apparently my subconscious mind is still attracted to him.

McGiant was the first (and only) guy that I've actually dated since my breakup with JerkFace( yes, i know I still have to write his and I think I'm almost to the point where I can do it). He is another guy that I would see at work from time to time and we always flirted, because I like to.

But he was charming and I learned his schedule so that I knew when he was working so that I could dress up and one day I seriously even went and bought a new shirt because I knew he was going to be working. And so I wore that shirt to work that night and sure enough, he gave me his number and told me that if I wanted to go for a drink some time to call him. I didn't even make it past the rest of the day at work before I texted and we ended up going for drinks that night.

We sat at the bar talking and he paid for my drinks and then when they were closing he asked if I wanted to go and talk some more at Eat n Park. Since that is practically the only Eat n Park that closes we got to sit there for almost an hour and after that he walked me to my car and hugged me goodbye. It was actually refreshing that night that he didn't try to kiss me and I really liked the fact that he was a gentleman.

After that night we would talk at least once a day, especially when he was at his other job because he worked night turn by himself. So I would lay in bed talking to him until I fell asleep. Then we had our standing date on Monday nights because we got off of work half an hour apart. So we would meet at EatnPark at "our" table and eat, smoke and BS with each other from the time we got there until they closed.

Then he started to introduce me to his friends AND family. I was nervous about going into another relationship but he was always so good. We went to parties, hockey games and the local hang outs just as happy as can be. I spent days drinking with his friends girlfriends while the guys were out playing paintball and nights drinking with his sister and her husband. (I should have expected something was slightly off though when she asked if I wanted to try on her wedding dress the first time I met her.)

Anyway things were fine for about four months until he suddenly stopped talking about his friend's upcoming wedding which I just assumed we were going to together. Then one night one of his friends girlfriends called me and dropped the bomb. McGiant had asked her boyfriend what a girl name "Jamie" should wear to said wedding. Clearly I was no longer invited to the wedding and after that point we didn't even acknowledge each other for about four months.

But what really sucked about that was the fact that I was still hearing from his friends while he and Jamie got more and more serious. So I was a bitch and ignored them and months later we became social again.

However, recently, we've become much more flirty again and I'm wondering what is going to come of that. Especially after my drunken text messages last night (which I'm blaming on the Red Bull) because even though I was drunk, I knew the conversation was very sketchy to say the least.

So we shall see what this brings but really, the worst thing that can happen is I flirt with him and get his hopes up and then crush them by reminding him about Jamie. :)

Woo Hoo!!

Seems like I haven't been on here in forever! Just a little update.... I accepted a new job because I really feel that if I were to stay at the one I have now I would most certainly do one of three things....
1. Physically harm a co-worker
2. Be committed
3. Hurt myself

So I accepted a job that really isn't a step up the career ladder but it it more money. And I'm sure that it will take me at least a couple months to start to dislike the people I'll be working with out there. So happily I'll be leaving at the beginning of August and start my new job in the middle of August. Yeah me!

Truly, things have gotten so bad here that I cannot physically keep my mouth shut anymore. I snap at co-workers who are more than happy to stab me in the back no matter how many times I've bailed their ass out. I really hope they remember that when karma takes over and gives them what they deserve because I am working hard to move on and be the better person. I know that I am better than that. I come to work and do my job everyday. Now that I've gotten to the point where I cannot handle the drama and bull that they try to dish out, its time for me to go.

All in all this is a happy thing for me because I know there is no future in the position I've been in for two years now. I will have a better career and this is just something that I needed to teach me. I've learned so much working here, most importantly that I know my limits in stressful situations that test people.

I will dearly miss the people who I have built friendships with but I know that even after we say goodbye at work, those people who are my true friends will still be there with me.
