Seriously!? No More!

Ok ... so earlier in the year, I was running off to a class in the city that my company was paying for and it was like 6:00AM and I was about to run up the stairs to catch a train, when I heard "Excuse me sir" and as I turned around, there was a kid standing there that I had graduated high school with. Mark, as he will be known, is a Jehovah's Witness and he was about to start his speech when he realized it was me. He was all friendly and was like "Heyyyy Jared! Wow! It's been a while... " blaah blaah blaah ... So I told him how I had to catch the train and that I'd see him later ... I was never best friends with him, but we made nice in high school ... honestly, I was nice to everyone and got along well with everyone ...

Anyway ... cut to like a month or two later ... I'm running into Panera for lunch and there he is with his posse, taking their lunch break from their door to door service. I said hello again and left it at that ... small talk and nothing more ...

Now, one of my besties happens to be a JW and she is part of his congregation. Now, for the record, I have nothing against them at all. The only reason I mention this is because of how that mere fact is a connection to this whole story ...

Anyway.. so I had called my friend Heather and had told her ... how funny is it that I've run into Mark so many times this year and I haven't seen this kid in like 6 years... so now cut to me walking into work from lunch and there he is, sitting there in our lobby, dressed in a suit. I, again, make small talk as I wait for the elevator to arrive and shake his hand and he tells me he's interviewing for a position there. I'm like, holy crap!

So of course, I had to call Heather right away and tell her. I just thought it was so weird that this happened. So anywho ... I wasn't aware that Heather and Mark had a past of some sorts, but it never worked out because he was (and still is) quite immature. So the day turns to night and while at home, I got a text from Heather, asking if it was ok for her to give Mark my cell number. I said sure and like 15 minutes later, she calls me all pissed off. She's like, he's such an ass... omg! So I jokingly said to her, why don't the two of you just get married already?

She was like - HELL NO! He's such an immature ass. He thinks that because you told me that you ran into him, that you're into him and that he thinks you're gay.

I was like, WHAT!? So she goes on to say how he's full of himself and all this bullshit. She proceeds to say that how I'm a nice guy and he just thinks that anyone that is nice is into him ... all this bullshit to make me feel better ...

To be honest, I wasn't pissed off at first, but then it was like the straw that broke the camel's back... First I had the encounter with Steve and Mike... Mike thought I was gay because I didn't try with any of the girls at the bar that night ... first of all, yeah ... I am kind of gay ... girls can turn me on, but just can't get me off ... well at least I haven't tried ...

But anyway ... I'm no man whore that looks for numbers. If I found the "right" girl, I would definitely try it out, but goodness gracious! There was nothing there ... he didn't even hook up ... so what the fuck!?

Secondly ... I am not exactly a god, like Mike or Steve ... I am insecure with myself and it's something I have to work through! Plain and simple ...

And now, because I am just being friendly and nice, you go and make that assumption!? You know what!? Fuck you and fuck anyone else that thinks that of me. You want me to be an asshole to you? Well fine! I hope you can deal with what I'm about to dish out! You're going to be the fucking stock boy, so you'd better bring me paper when I request it, otherwise I will complain to your manager, mother fucker!

I am seriously done being the nice guy. Fuck everyone at this point! I hate my boss, she's a bitch and she's got it coming to her as well. I am just so very done ... I am going to sign up for some Yoga once this summer session is done and I'm going to meditate my stress away! Would you believe that I found 3 gray hairs!? THREE!?!?!? I'm fucking 24! What the hell!?!?!?!?!?

ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRgggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
