New Years Eve My Ass.

So 2009 is already coming through in a negative style for me.

So I recently got a job at Valvoline Instant Oil Change. I loved the job. It was fun, not hard work, and I liked the guys I worked with. I got fired today over telling the Assistant Manager he's a lazy ass. Are you kidding?

And then, of course, my high E string on my guitar breaks today, and I don't have a replacement. And it's too late to go to the music store to get new good ones...So I might just go to Wal*Mart and pick up some bullshit First Act strings to get me by.

Anyone else have a New Years Eve catastrophe?
 
Seriously, I'm not surprised you got fired for saying that. The only way you could get away with it is if you'd have been there for a while and were on good terms with the guy, and even then said it in a joking manner, even if you meant it seriously. I joke around with a couple coworkers a fair bit, but they're both fairly easy to get along with, and we all know each other pretty decent well.

As for not being able to get a new "real" string, that sucks. One thing I don't like about these holidays is that everything closes early.
 
Do you have any spare B-strings by any chance? G-strings might be a little extreme, but B-strings can work as a replacement for high E-strings. That's what I do when I get desperate.

Also, I ran out of acoustic strings so I'm using electric strings for my acoustic. For some reason they work.
 
Ouch. Being the extreme optimist I'm going to say that at least you get to start the new year fresh by looking for a new job that you can joke around a little more. If you're not partial to dealing with coworkers who slack, you might consider janitor work. I don't know what you're into, but whatever it is, you can search for something you really take heart into tomorrow.

I've only got a cold that's been going around, not had any sleep for the past oh, day and a half, and just returned home where I'm no where near my lover. Joy. I get to spend New Years with my family, and no explosive celebration sex. :/
 
I have to host a party and baby sit a bunch of kids that I honestly don't even like because they're a bunch of pompous, stubborn assholes.

I also get to watch my school get blown out by a hick school that I despise in the Chick Fil A bowl.

Shitty end to a shitty year, eh?
 
I found out about a few immature, potentially disastrous character traits my ladyfriend possesses.

Came home to find a broken lamp in my living room, I am now sitting in the semi-dark.

New neighbors moved in, and they play bagpipe music loud enough to hear from inside my apartment.

Neighbors across the street shot off fireworks every hour or so.

:mfinger: to all.
 
Girlfriend might be pregnant because of our New Years fun. We are both only seventeen and not financially ready for a kid or even able to afford an abortion.

If we do decide to have the kid, she starts her college in Memphis next fall and I start at UTK at the same time. They are over 400 miles away from each other....
