4:01 pm	long time no see I start the new job December 12th and I am a healthy mix of excited and nervous. It has been almost three years since I needed to think to do my job. My current bosses are the strangest people. After receiving a call to confirm my employment, and after me telling them that I have been going on interviews, they still acted surprised that I was leaving. They even had the nerve to say that two weeks "wasn't enough notice". I guess they are worried about who is going to do their jobs now. It is a strange feeling when you don't see your parents much anymore. Well, I see my dad, but it is the normal grunt and nod kind of communication. I feel like an asshole, being 22 and whining about my parents. Seeing my mother on Thanksgiving was almost awkward and I don't want to feel that way around her. I guess this is a case of "don't know what you have until its gone". I really do miss her around the house, and as much as they try to hide it I know the rest of the Glo males do too. It doesnt matter how old you get, this situation always sucks. Was supposed to go to Florida in January, but that was before the new job so I think I am going to skip the trip. I probably would have anyway. After last year's adventure, even though it was a really good time, I haven't been looking forward to the drive. Regardless, I have zero money and the credit card is maxed. I should probably do something about that. Let me be typical for a moment and reiterate how much I hate money. Probably my own fault, I am horrible at managing funds. Below is the message that my boss sent around to the school... This has been a season for closing old chapters and starting new ones. Guess what? Our Nick, will be leaving the CDO in a couple of weeks to start a new job as a customer service representative with Diamond Distributors in Baltimore. His last day here will be Friday, December 9th and he'll join Diamond on Monday 12th. I'm sure all the lessons he learned working with us and dealing with students will help make him a shining example at Diamond. Nick, thanks for all your good work over the past two-plus years! Best wishes as you move forward and keep in touch -- you know where to find us. -Dana Morris, Assistant Dean to Career Development Gag me with a fuckin spoon.

11:27 am	(Frantic applause followed by a standing ovation to Mr. G’s entrance) LK: Good evening and welcome to Late Night with Larry King. Tonight I have the pleasure of introducing the world to, what many would consider, the man of the year. Help me in welcoming, Mr. Nick Glorioso, to our show. (Copious amounts of applause. Little girls cry without shame. Men cough to hide emotion) NG: Thanks Larry, you may be seated now. LK: The whole world is talking about your novel, titled Scenesters and Sinners: The Demise of Generation Y. Would you discuss the inspiration for your book? NG: Well, there is a certain day that comes to mind, some would call it a turning point, and that day was March 9th, 2005. I headed into work after a drug test, feeling uneasy and disgruntled, but little did I know what would be waiting for me there…. (Larry and the crowd gasp) NG: ….a full-blown intervention. LK: Ah, directed toward your ridiculous marijuana habit no doubt. NG: Wrong, you disgusting little peon. This intervention was leaning toward my career change, which many of my former co-workers were viewing as a “mistake”. They were a clever bunch though, and must have thoroughly planned the set-up. First off, it was conducted by people of my heritage, more specifically, three Italian elders. Elders is actually how they referred to themselves, which then and even now I can’t help but find hilarious. It was their opinion that, since I already knew where my career was heading, that it was foolish to delay receiving my degree by attending school part-time. They suggested that I bite the bullet and take the loans, since by the time I graduate teachers in Baltimore County will make about 45k a year. Not a bad wage. LK: What was your decision? NG: I didn’t make one, in fact, I allowed the previous drug test to make the choice for me. If I happened to pass, I would accept the new job and attend school at night. If I failed, I would take the loans and take a stab at the whole full-time student thing. It was a confusing time for me but I never seem- (Larry, interrupting) LK: What does any of this have to do with your novel, about the struggle of your generation and the self defeating practices of the music scene?! NG: It has nothing to do with it. I wrote that for the cash money. LK: Get off my show, you little bitch. (I slowly stand from my seat, tears in my eyes) NG: ….fuck you Larry…..

5:10 pm	Incoming Jayden Jayden English born at 1:36pm December 2, 2004 I left before Cypher and Amber could decide on a middle name. Im happy for them. Cypher looked elated to finally see his son and Amber did really well during the delivery. They were also really appreciative that I showed up, which was nice of them, I was happy I could be there. Good people. Congrats guys. Current Mood: wooooot Current Music: Cardia "Your Eyes" (Comment on this)
8:18 am	You were not quite a father.... I picked up Dean from work last night and I could tell, by the look on his face, that something was wrong. He told me that the guy he works with everyday, Bruce, had just told him that his son died a few years back. His son was gay, found out he was HIV positive before telling his parents, and died only a few months later. Real sad story and worst if you knew the guy this happened to. Bruce is one of the few people at the law school who gives his fair share and somehow keeps a smile on his face, not to mention he is like a father figure to Dean. So we head home and meet Taryn at Deans house for our daily chill session. Dean starts to tell her about Bruce, cause it is obviously bothering him, and Taryn just sits back and listens in her usual fashion. After he is finished explaining there is this awkward silence for a while, then Taryn says "My dad died the same way." God, I was floored, and surprised, and terribly regretful that we had brought it up. Taryn is such good people, I hate to hear about bad things that happen to good people. We decided to visit her roommate, Heidi, where she works in Ellicott City. I will admit, ahead of time, that I have a little thing for Heidi. She is beautiful and intriguing. But back to the story, it was COLD AS SHIT walking around the Ellicott. We got to the diner after much bitching about the weather, said hello to Heidi, ate cheesecake and drank coffee for a while. There was the most annoying woman there, who had to know every ingredient in every kind of coffee so she could see if it fit her diet. Didnt let it spool our goodtime tho, acting like geeks, but what Taryn had told us was definetly hanging in the air. Nothing much happened after that. I went home, went to sleep for 13 hours, which I have been doing ever since being sick. Woke up this morning to take Dean to work. The whole car ride there he is talking about Heidi, how he likes her, how he thinks she likes him. Just my luck. Work late tonight and all day tomorrow, so Im sure I will have plenty of time to think about all of this. Question is, is that a good or bad thing?

10:07 am	Told my mother about the trip earlier and I dont know what I was nervous about. She backed me up pretty much the whole way. All the things that I thought might be a sore spot were not a problem at all including taking my car, my credit card bills, another delay of school and quitting my job. If anything, Im damn lucky to have her support since Im sure my father will be none too happy. Florida -> Omaha -> Salt Lake City -> San Diego -> L.A. -> Seattle ^^^^rough draft Im stoked.

11:20 pm	Halloween costume = Ghostbuster (3 Comments |Comment on this)
2:29 pm	revenge is best not served Need a Halloween costume but I am broke and out of ideas. Might have to go clown for the irony of it. My boss cracks me up. She is conversating with a graduate about how when she was coming into work someone asked her for money, the idea of which is so outrageous to her. WE WORK IN THE CITY YOU IDIOT. I guess that sort of thing isnt common in Columbia condos but you have worked in the city for 15 years, but still the shock value is there. "How dare they make me feel guilty." More like how dare you comment on things you know nothing about. As you can see, I dislike her. Suffering from the unbearable boredom of work and sparked by my employer's stupidity, I started thinking earlier, what is the worst quality a person can have? At first I wanted to say arrogance, but I decided intolerance is the most unbearable. Blind hate, gotta love it. Reply if you are intrigued. And dont poke fun at my weak posts, the only way I get comments is to direct a question. (2 Comments |Comment on this)

9:43 am	been a while She is sending me song lyrics, our song lyrics, as sweet little text messages. I'm unsure of how to handle this. New counselor started in my office not too far back, and i was getting the impression that i was going to like this guy. First off, another dude in an office drowning in estrogen is crucial. I hadn't realized it but i was unintentionally converted into bitchdom over my time there. Some of the things i complain about while at work are things i wouldn't blink twice at in my real life. Anywho, the new counselor is this middle aged Italian guy named Thomas and a pretty quality dude. He basically is just finishing up a path that hopefully i will soon take, including teaching degree at Towson, studied abroad in Italy, masters in education, law degree (who knows). He even lined me up for some scholarship opportunities. But dammit, like anything in the world, power corrupts. The Dean of my office put him in charge of a project Ive been working on for about a year and so he butchers it, tries to hide it, and when it all comes crashing down hes nowhere to be found. So add another tally under enemies, fuckin dooshbag. My hair is longer than it has been since I was a little kid. I look like one of the Beatles. I mean one of the cool ones but still (def Lennon). Good or bad thing? (4 Comments |Comment on this)

11:16 am	sneaky eh? im typing this under the peering eyes of my boss, who sees me working furiously, when in fact i am writing this. We have a database for all our job opportunities, which is basically a form with an assortment of fill-in the blanks, but at the bottom there is a box for comments. im typing this there, and will cut and paste later. Sneaky eh? i noticed this morning that everytime I bite into an egg Mcmuffin it is the opposite side from the yolk. I mean, this flawlessly happens everyday, unless i cheat and look beforehand. I probably eat Mcdonalds too much. Come to think of it i eat something from there every weekday. not good for the failing heart. im morbidly addicted to some online poker. it all started last night, jon showed me the site, i signed up and proceeded to get seriously sharked. I was bankrupt in a few minutes, but far from done. Created a new account under the name fischer77 (chess, poker, its all the same) and a streak of good hands finally came. so i managed to double my money in about an hour on the little tables but when i switched to a no-limit game i lost 5k in one hand. hurts. i bet that was boring to read but im giddy as a school boy over some cards. im about to decorate my room with some raster'd images and szymon's art <--framed of course.

6:55 pm	all the slander and devil-speak you want Whoever designed the bank I go to is a genius. They just installed bulletproof glass along the counter, which is inspiring. What I noticed today is they have a drop down ceiling, like the tiles that sort of lay along framing. Somebody could just stand on the counter and push the tiles up, putting the gun over the glass. I kind of see this happening soon. Off to Philly this weekend, to see a quality kid named Seth. Supposedly goin to a random concert starring some local Philly band. Havent been to a real good show in a while but Im hopeful. Next week begins the rest of my life as I start full-time at the law school. Not looking forward to it as I begin to realize I dont like my bosses as much as I used to. Cant turn down the opportunity though, the money would be helpful, but the whole thing could really fuck with my school schedule. Anyway this could lead to a real position there in the fall, which would lead me straight to studying law, since tuition is covered for employees. I know I know, Im too innocent to be a lawyer. If you only knew. I hate when the neighbors throw a party because they all park there cars in front of my house. I do this thing where whenever I get up I look out my window, out of habit. I guess I would expect them to ask us if thats ok, but they never do. Then its horseshoes clanging and terrible karaoke for the rest of the night. Petty I guess but annoys me. Livejournal is like AIM in the way that it provides the illusion that the little shit in your life is important. I think away messages are so popular because we know how we look through each one when we sit down, so someone else must be wondering what you're doing. I think for the first time in my life Im getting tired of fast food, in general. (1 Comment |Comment on this)
