Tenser, Tenser....That's the Spot

The day started with a meeting at my restaurant where we tried a few new menu items and talked about the new marketing campaign.

I wish like hell I could give more details because I have a lot of opinions on this campaign. It sucks. I mean it really sucks. The basic premise is that our restaurant is the place for you to have your 'moments' in life. I wish I could elaborate but I can just see me tipping that information and the hostess seating some troll at my table the next night (to whom I would serve very, very special food).

Moving on...

Next, I went to look at a townhouse. Oy... I found the perfect place. I can afford it, it's lovely and at least 45% of my super-high rent pays for the privelage of living in that specific snooty city...but it's a block away from my old house and Taylor could return to her friends and be beside her school. I was worried about the approval, but they approved me. The only problem is that they want me to move in March 1st and I can't afford to move until April 1st. We'll see how that plays out...

Then I went to Glamour Shots. Don't get me started. I got this free offer from one of the online dating sites to go in for a 'make-over and a free digital image' and I thought 'why not?'

Yeah....

First, I hate having my picture taken. I hate posing. I hated how they fixed my hair. My make-up was whorish and I hated driving home like that. A few pictures were cute and when I get them, I will post for kicks. The best part was at the sales stage when I asked about the free digital image. The lady was clueless. She said "We give you a 5x7". And I said "So, I just scan it and make it digital?" She told me "No, that's illegal and we can sue you".

Okay....

So...how do I get my 'free digital online image'? my coupon clearly says "free" "online" "digital" "image". The marketing campaign was a free picture for your dating profile. But....you'll sue me if I publish it???

She didn't know. She repeatedly assured me that I would be sued if I scanned it. I decided it would be a fun lawsuit and settled on the 5x7.

I left.

I talked to both Lance and Roger and I have plans to see Roger. I'm not sure why I decided to go out with him, but I did. I wish I were looking forward to it, but I'm not really. On the bright side, we're going to the Casino and if we ran into Jeff there is about a 90% chance that Roger would kick the shit out of him just to impress me. Roger's not exactly the high-class gentleman type. He's a big one too.

Back to the townhouse thing, it looks like it's going to take my everything to pull off but I am determined to do it and to do it on my own. I'm probably going to pick up more shifts at work. I may turn to a life of crime. Hell, I may sell an ovary. Somehow, I'm doing this. Once I move, I can slow down a bit, but until then - - - it's going to be a fight.

So...an hour and a half before my date. Roger wanted to know if I wanted a nice dinner or a sandwich and a hotel room. Charmed...

I wonder if I should clean-up or leave the whore make-up on?

There's a pretty darned cute guy at my 2nd job but I avoid him. He has a reputation as a 'whore' himself (Just like Jeff did!) and working with someone I play with is a bit too relationship-like for my tastes.

When I move, I will actually live somewhat close to Jeff, but I could honestly care less. I really think he is pig-shit at this point and have no desire to interact with him whatsoever.
