He was a typical East-Side dude: cocky, self-assured, no job (at the time. In his case, living off of worker's comp, not looking for a job and falsifying some of the info that he was looking moe than he really was), had a nice car which was unusual (but it's a sport racy-type car), but it was broken down, and had a broken windshield because an ex-girlfriend had smashed it. (probably, because he was unfaithful, I'm guessing): TYPICAL!
He was just the sort of guy that I am sucked in by, and attracted to most of the time...and I noticed it right from the git-go.
He wasn't really awesome looking, but not bad; it was mostly that cockiness that made me feel the same ol' feeling but, going what i had gone through with my last ex, i know now (finally0 to fight this attraction off and move on. My "Old" Doug had it, Paul Bertok had it, Larry had it...and they all broke my heart, and in some cases had fooled around on me. Actually Doug is STILL a jerk and Larry is a big bragger, and both of them are fast-talking, don't-want-a-regular-job-because-they-owe-child-support, eat-the-women's-food and get them to buy their beerm SLEAZES! But they were cute. i thought so anyway. Most of my friends would beg to differ.
This neighbor guy, I am noticing, since he has gotten a job (from what he told me, it sounded good - desk job - so easy he could nap at it!) worked for about 10 days...then (he told me) called off this past Saturday (I almost went over and woke him up - something in me just wants him to succeed! But it wasn't my place! It was 4 am, which was when he usually leaves, and I am usually up because of my insomnia), Now, today, here is his car sitting there again on a weekday. WELL SURE! One usually has a 90 day trial period. If you call off within that period of time, forget it, you're done; fired;kaput.
I would be VERY surprised if he still has this job.
BUT LIKE I SAID - IT'S NOT MY BUSINESS. NOT DO I CARE. I am just making an observation, like I said.
Now you are probably seething - who am I to even be noticing, a nosy-neighbor? Well, like I said, I am simply making an observation: that I will never meet a man that I am actually attracted to that is worth a damn here in East Toledo.
"I gotta get outta this place, if it's the las thing I ever do," "We gotta get outta this place, GIRL(S) THERE'S A BETTER LIFE FOR ME AND YOU" (THE BYRD'S IS IT?)
Have a good one,
TTR
