Lupita part Tres. I'm still scared while typing this..

So, here I am at the office still trying to pack away some boxes... when lo' and behold, Lupita shows up.

I should have known.  I was hoping to get everything packed up, but one of the clients called and I didn't want to sound unprofessional with me grunting and heaving over boxes while he's asking me questions. 

I thought about coming by the next day, but I knew I wouldn't have any time to do it since I'd spend most of my day transitioning accounts to my old co-workers.

So here's basically how the conversation goes:

Lupita: Oh! (she begins to suck on her candy furiously.)

Me: Oh hey, Lupita.

Lupita: Dee you get my note?

Me: Yes, I did.  Thank you for your compliments.

Lupita: (smiles.. and slowly dislodges whatever nasty candy from the gap of her mouth).  I like you.

Me: Oh. Well.. uh (Lupita begins to inch closer to me.  I take a step back).

Lupita: I like you.  (She smiles and I'm reminded of a Jack O' Lantern...)

Me: Uh.. yeah.  Thank you.  But.. But...

Lupita:  But what?!  (She begins to seethe.  She obviously thinks I'm playing games with her).  I know you like me.  I see you look at me. I know. I know. 

Me: I'm not playing games Lupita.  I'm really not playing games!  (I'm trying to figure an exit strategy, but I'm somewhat cornered). 

She literally had her arms at her hips with that butter scotch candy furiously going in and out of that gap.

There was an awkward silence and I began to accept fate.  If I was going down, then so be it.

My phone went off.  Lupita and I both looked at my phone. 

Vibrating. 

It was my mom. 

My freaking mom saved my ass. I quickly picked it up and I began to head out. 

Me: Hi mom?  How are you doing?

Mom: You know, you didn't go to jury duty right?

Me:  Oh no way mom!  Really?  That's such a shame.  (As I walk out of my office, I pick up a box and look at Lupita).  I'm sorry, but I think you got it all wrong.  I'm not interested.  But, mind if you lock up after you're done cleaning? Thanks, bye!


I didn't bother turning around.  I just bee-lined it to my car and took off.  I wanted to make sure she didn't know what car I drove as well. 


I'm kind of paranoid of what may happen tomorrow morning.  Who knows, she might leave a steaming pile of poop on my desk...

Looking for work and wondering about ghosts...

So I gave my boss that I'd be leaving shortly. He was pretty stressed and I felt bad. He's always had the most utmost respect for me. It was kind of painful to let him know this way.

For those that wonder, I have two bosses. One is an ass hat (He's the one that asked that I come in on the weekends a few journals ago). The other, is a nice overall guy.

Obviously, he didn't like the news, but he was pretty politically correct about it.


I've been looking around for jobs and I was able to get a call back from a recruiter that has a direct interview with the CEO of the company. I'm assuming it's not that big of a company, but hell.. with this economy, I'll take what I can get.


And topic of ghosts came about. I thought I'd share this with my readers. (Thank you for following and reading. I really appreciate it. I feel like I'm wanted in a way ^^)

When I was eight or nine years old. I had this weird and very scary incident late at night between Saturday and Sunday. Back then, I would play video games late into the night. At that time, i was playing Secret of Mana. I was hooked. I could literally plop my ass down and just stare at the screen for hours.

I thought I'd draw some pictures.  It was meant to be taken seriously, but I think I'm going to ruin it with my horrible MS paint drawings.

So on Saturday/Sunday morning.. it was around 3am. 

I started sensing something.  I felt some weird presence.  The hairs on my neck stood up and in all honesty, I knew someone was there.  Just to preface, it was me and my mother.  I knew that my mom was already in bed in her room and my brother was up north in college at the time.  I couldn't help but turn around. And right in front of my face was a gentleman in an old brown suit, brown slacks and dusty brown shoes.  He was probably in his late sixties with an unshaven pepper beard and gray hair.  The guy was literally three feet away from me.

I couldn't tell if he was looking at me or at something else, because the dude had no eyeballs. NO FREAKING EYEBALLS.  I first thought I was hallucinating, but it was surreal.  What made it more awkward was the fact that he was solid.  He wasn't transparent like you hear from other stories.  The dude was solid. 


So here I am staring at this guy for what felt like an eternity, but realistically I have to say I was looking at him for at least 15 minutes.  I just couldn't look away.  In my head, I was screaming at myself to turn around turn around and soon enough I turned back to the game and just played.  All that time I was playing, I knew he was still standing there.  Six o'clock rolled around and I noticed the sun start to rise.  I turned around and noticed that he was gone and rushed into my bedroom.. praying.  I freaking prayed that this guy wouldn't bother me.  

In short, I've never seen the guy again.  I did hear footsteps in the cellar which I found to be very odd and occasional door closing and opening. 

Any of you guys have some sort of experience with ghosts?

Do you guys ever have those instances with your ex's?

I usually have a rule that I adhere to all the time.

You don't talk to your ex.

Period.

I personally think that it gets more confusing and causes possible emotions to rise without some sort of repercussion.

But in this situation: She kind of threw me off guard and just annoying:

Ex: So yeah, I just wanted to say, "hi" ^_^

Me: Uh.. ok.

Ex: So, do you miss me?

Me: No. I try not to think about it.

Ex: You don't miss the sex?

Me: What guy wouldn't? But it's not worth it.

Ex: When I was with you, I wanted to have sex more.

Me: (Somewhat agitated) Really? So all those times, when I initiate, you turning me down was just a fluke? Get the f'ck out of here.

Ex: Oh no.. I wanted to. But I was stressing over (work, family drama) that I couldn't. But I really liked it and I wanted to do it more and more.


I'm kind of annoyed by this. Why would she bring this up?

Women in general are the kings of mind games.

Play em off Keyboard Cat!

Oh man.. I could not stop laughing...poor bastard.

hahaha I don't know why I find this so funny...

I'm somewhat hung over from last night. Tequila makes me do some strange things.

I'll explain later.

Interview gone terrible....

So I applied for a position in some company that is literally an hour away from the house.  It was about 1 hour and 30 minutes from home if I didn't take the toll roads. 

So I have their HR lady call me a few days go and we have a brief stint of phone tag with one another.
Finally, I get a hold of her.  She requests that we meet yesterday at a certain time.  I agree.  She calls me two hours later and asks if she could reschedule.  I don't whine about it and I agree to the change.


Now get this... I drive my ass all the way over there and I stand in an empty lobby for like ten minutes.  Suddenly out of nowhere, this warehouse worker guy comes out and looks at me as if I'm crazy.  I tell him I'm here for an interview and he goes ahead and looks around for that HR person.

"She went for the day mang"

"You gotta to be kidding me..."

"No mang.. she's went home already"


I guess my facial expressions weren't hiding anytime soon and he decides to ask someone else.

An English lady pops out of the back office and then asks that I fill out an application.

As I'm filling it out, two of them come into the conference room and begin interviewing me.  None of them being the HR person.  Then a gentleman comes in and interviews me.  You could tell the vibe isn't there nor is their experience in hiring personnel. 

Fifteen minutes into the meeting, they conclude it and then go about their business..

I've never seen such a weird company before and wtf is wrong with the HR lady?  How does HR flake out on their own interviews?

Do you guys ever have weird stories like this?

Why do I find this soo interesting to watch?

Youtube involves a girl eating Haribo gummy bears.. but I'm entranced by it..

Am I crazy?




Also in other news, I watched an episode of Dora.. and man it's so much more informative than Mr. Rogers..
