Slacker update

October 22nd, 2004 | Category: Uncategorized

Not much been going on lately. We had another slow Thursday last night at the haunted house. I still don’t think we should be open on Thursdays, but whatever. It was funny that Shawn asked Steve if I was mad at him because of the garbage he was posting on my site. Even though he said Tom made him do it. You know, I probably would have been mad had I not thought it was so funny that he didn’t know he can’t post anonymously. Probably not though. If Shawn wants to think I have some ego problem, I don’t care. Especially if he only says it anonymously on a website, and not to my face. I don’t put much merit into something someone says behind my back or to my face only when they think I don’t know who they are. So that whole scenario was too funny for me to be angry. I won’t say that it didn’t change my opinion on Shawn though; there is just no need to go there.

David (the dude that’s been cutting my hair since I was a kid) came by the haunted house last night. That was cool. Last year he could never make it by, and last night he and Melissa went through. I know it’s hard for them with the two kids, to get out, so I appreciate them coming down to support us. The coolest part about it was that he even paid to go through. Most people are constantly looking for hand outs. Freebies. He walked right up, asked how much, and paid the money to go through. He did that because he knew why we were there. To make money. I’ve known this guy for 14 years, and he didn’t expect anything. Good guy right there.

Is that too much to be excited about? Maybe I’m too much of a cynic. I have no faith in people anymore. This haunted house experience has drained it all out of me. It started with shit not getting done, which was partly my fault; I was just as un-motivated as everyone to dive into this project once again. Then it moved onto employees picking and choosing what they want to do, and fuck what you ask them to do. It’s not just one guy, as much as some conspiracy pirates would like to believe, it was more than just one guy. We get together and decide to “trim the fat” so to speak, and this one guy caught the brunt of my tirade because he just happened to be the last person to tell me he wasn’t doing what I asked him to. I said fine, but then we’re firing some people around here because I’m not going to PAY other people to sit here and do nothing while I’m out doing shit, and NOT getting paid for it. Am I out of line? Some people think so. Until those people are in my situation they can think that all they want. I could care less. (<—see, bad attitude guy)
