• Love Hurts…The Everly Brothers were sooooo right.

  Dear readers, I have a most perplexing problem. Susan Parish may not have a job much longer, and I feel that I am to blame. When getting my schedule for this week (to which I might add that I got fucked on), I noticed that she had been scheduled for this weekend. However, she is supposed to be in New York for Fall Break. I almost called her about it yesterday, but decided against it, fearing that it would be trite and needless, thus finally putting a strain on our as yet non-existent relationship. Now I wished I had, for if she is a no show three days, things could get nasty. My reasoning was she should be intelligent enough to make sure to tell a manager that she will be out of town.

  There is, however, one saving grace. Starting this week, there was a change in who made out the schedule, so, if she had written it down in the book, she can claim that it was his fuck up. Something tells me there are dark days ahead. My only fear is that she didn’t.

  The game plan is to pretend that I never saw her schedule and not discuss it when she comes back. Of course, that would be dishonest.

  Thoughts on course of action are greatly appreciated.

  EDIT:
  There has been many perplexing developments today. As divulged earlier, I had feared for Susan Parish’s duration of employment at Macaroni Grill. Well, the plot thickens.

  You see, it doesn’t fiscally make sense for her to have gone to New York for just a weekend, so there is much concern that she is bluffing. Of course, that would be easy to detect since she would be at work this weekend. Since I was unable to attend Macaroni Grill during the period of time she was scheduled for, I can not verify if she was there tonight or not. However, I will be able to verify the rest of the weekend. Therefore, if she is gone, there is a way to save face and get a multitude of dates, particularly if I need to step in and save her job.

  Conversely, if she is at Macaroni Grill at the appointed hour tomorrow or Saturday evening, I shall know that it was a not-so-clever bluff, and, in the opinion of a dear and trusted friend, know that, based on her excuse, she is a whore and has slept with many boys in her high school career.

  However, there is ample evidence to suggest that she will not be at the appointed place at the appointed hour. For example, she is eighteen years of age and this is her first semester in college. Add to this the fact that a lot of money is coming from somewhere to pay the out of state tuition fees along with the housing costs, it therefore becomes easy to contrive a scenario that one of her relatives has the money to spend on having Miss Parish brought back to New York for the weekend. Even a bout of homesickness could have caused amply purchasing power to be hastily gathered to cure said illness.

  Therefore, the conclusion is that I might have the chance to play my role as Captain Savahoe. At the suggestion of a dear and trusted friend, regardless of whether or not she is in town, I will more than likely get a date out of the entire debacle. I look forward to escorting Miss Forlani on a romantic adventure.

  P.S. Blue Portal picked up a client late last night. We will produce a person of talent in return for the free advertising that would be garnered by releasing their record on our label, as well as the garrulous word of mouth that he would herald.
