And then a car hits me! no joke!

Ok, so my weekend wasn't bad. Yes i got hit, but i'll leave that for the end since it happened earlier today.

Saturday night, rain. Plenty of it. To the point that Mary called and tried to convinced me to pick me up and take me back to her house to sleep. I declined and said i was ok, after all a little water wasn't going to hurt me.

However I'm really looking forward to leave my tent.

Sunday i'm at the library and someone who i've seen there almost every day i've been there approaches me and asks me for help regarding his laptop. The guy's name is Rory and i now regret helping him. Let me explain.

This dude drives his mom's car, lives with her, and he's around my age. He talks like a salesman on crack... on and on and on, about some business deals he's got going, about networking, about a new upcoming phone company owned by a latino who wants to give the profits to the poor, etc, etc, etc.

I agree out of the kindness of my heart to help him upgrade his laptop since we got the exact same model, he also bought it on sale.

He was supposed to meet me outside when the library closed. So 5PM comes and i'm outside. He's not there. I wait 10 minutes then take off to BK.

Half way there he calls me (yes i regret giving him my cell number too). He's saying he's sorry, took him longer than expected to get the laptop because he wanted some special discount which he didn't get when he bought it, etc, etc.

He could have called at 5PM and said he'd be late, at least. I guess not everyone can do that, it's ok.

I tell him to meet me at BK. He shows up and i ask him if he got the memory to upgrade his laptop. He forgot. He was at Best Buy when he was on the phone, so you can imagine how that made me realize the guy was not too swift.

So i tell him that i'll go with him to the store and make sure he gets the right memory on sale. Once we're there the guy who is behind he register next to the memory rack (Geek Squad) is busy helping a couple of females with their Dell laptop. I understand that we need to wait a bit, but Rory has no initiative to seek another associate in the store. So, i go and approach the first guy who i see is not doing anything and address him by his name on his tag, Sean. We were out and in the car in less than 5 mintes.

Back to BK. I do the installation which takes me just a few minutes, which would have cost him $40 at the store. I did him the favor and didn't ask anything in return.

He then goes on about hooking it up to his comcast self installation kit and router at home and asks me how it's done and then i reached my limit.

I said "Rory, i just did you a favor and saved you $40. I waited for you outside the library and you didn't even call to say you were late. If you want me to do anything else for you, it won't be free. Now i think it's best you get in your car and go home and handle your business. I'm here to get some food and relax.".

He then goes on to tell me... "you want some food? i got cupons in my car for free food, i'll be right back." and he goes to his car.

God help me, this guy has no common sense, or he's mentally challenged. I had to go outside and tell him i didn't want his cupons and asked him to go home.

He finally got it and left.

Hit DD for free donuts, free muffins, and a sweet Mango Smoothie that was very good, not as good as Strawberry Banana, but close.

BK, last night Mark hooked me up with a Whooper meal for giving him a Boston Creme donut, i wasn't even asking for anything in return but I was a bit hungry so i accepted his generous gesture.

Marilu is transfering to another BK tues/wed and Mark is leaving in March. All the management people i made friends with there are going to go. I'll miss them, it has been fun talking and laughing with them.

Last night i didn't sleep to good, kept waking up 2-3 times. This has become a routine lately, one i don't like.

I woke up at 6:30AM and was at BK at 7AM eating my muffins with my bag of laundry. I rode and was on the way back and was almost at Lyons road when i got ran over.

I'm ok; but my bike's front wheel was twisted like a pretzel. The guy apologized, made sure i was ok and then took me to the closest bike shop (the same that fixed my flat tire) to get the rim replaced. Cost him about $50.

Then he dropped me at BK at my request. I was going to ask him for some cash, but when he mentioned he was a firefighter.I just told him to get in his car and go. The man saves lives, that counts for a lot in my book.

I drop off my laundry, then ride to 441 and I meet Timmy who reminds me that Bill and Joan will drop by soon to give out food. Perfect timing.

We chat and we wait for them, they show up a bit after noon. Bill is helping me find a decent divorce lawyer. He tells me he will be talking to someone he knows this week. Free socks with free food. Works for me.

I head to Mc Donalds to use the free wifi where i can use Yahoo Messenger and Ventrilo since any chat software is blocked at the library. I chat with a TDH member for about 20 mins and catch up on some guild news.

Meanwhile I'm downloading Dreamweaver CS and Paint Shop Pro Photo X2 which i will need to work on the limo website.

Well i'm about to leave soon because it's freezing in here. Outside is hot so they cranked up the AC to turn everyone into polar bears, heh.

Yeah, i live an exciting life, now all i need is a room or a studio or something like that i can call home.
