So anyways, a few years ago, my forever-drunk friend Miguel got married. JK and I (and 3 other dudes) were groomsmen. All the groomsmen and the 2 ushers received flasks from the groom. It was a small token of appreciation for renting a $200 dollar tux, spending $500 on airline tickets and putting up with the brides bitch-ass family.

When I opened the box and pulled out the flask, I was confused. The flask said "BRYAN" on it. I asked, "Who the fuck is Bryan?" I don't know why, but it really pissed me off. It pissed me off more when I found out that the lowly ushers (AKA, junior varsity of weddings) had nicknames engraved on their flasks. I felt betrayed.

Liquor never really tasted right out of that flask. When I discovered the crack, I kinda smiled and walked promptly to the trash can to make the deposit. I now have a new flask with no real significance, other than the lack of an annoying engraving. Maybe my name just made me feel normal. I hate feeling normal. Normal sucks and I'm anything but normal. Especially when I've been hitting the flask.

Lame story, but you asked for it.

People on Sherdog shouldn't be able to know each other outside of teh interwebs. It's fuckin' weird.

yeah if i ever met you guys i think ill have a hard time calling you by your "real" name.

Im not an IT person per say. i only had that one job for over a year as my experience. i come from shitty hotel experience for everything else.

I haven't been feeling the money pinch so ive been selective in my looking for jobs, ya know, good hours, pay, close to home, etc so thats hard to find apparently.

now i pretty much have to take whatever.

Which reminds me. Fuck Fed Ex.

I worked there for a summer and liked it. I worked hard and my manager told me a few times that I was one of the best guys at the time (not the best ever or any such BS). It was like getting paid to work out.

ONe day I got sent to a different area to help out some noobs and cracked my head on a steel beam (it is set up differently than the area I usually work in). The shift manager then proceeds to tell me that I am trying to make him pay for my mistake when I try to go to the hospital (like he is paying himself). The he says something about it being almost my last day and being a college kid. Yes, I am sure I cracked my head on a fucking beam so that I could avoid two days of work.

Fuck Fed ex.
