Recent Exposures

Well, after being pulled into the front office about my attitude at work I decided to quit tonight!  I will no longer work for a company that encourages employees to lie and do whatever is needed to sell mortgages to clients.  There are people there that will sell programs to people knowing that those programs will hurt the clients in the long run, and FGM supports this practice.  Look up the owner on Google search and "FRAUD" will come up.  We are encouraged to call atleast 100 people throughout the day and hassle them into a buying a mortgage.  I started there to help people, not harass them, but now rates are so horrible that nobody wants to refinance so hassling them is the only way.  I will stick to my principles, ethics and morals and I will refuse to go down that route to make a buck.  As an honest person you have to work 4x harder than anyone else there to make money.  The job was sucking the life out of me and I felt more and more like a scumbag everyday I worked among people that take advantage of others and get praised for it.  Just like, Kenny, my roomate Josh, and Nick Kladis… I’m done!  A big F U to FGM… you won’t get anymore money from my efforts DBS….

Kerri and Jeremy Byers showed up at my apartment last night as I was coming home from work so we all went out for some dinner at Moriarties in Toga.  Pretty expensive so I just ended up getting a chef salad and some fried mushrooms which filled me up.  Seeing Byers was nice cause he’s usually very busy with his job as a prison guard and lives in the boonies where there is no cell phone reception… but I guess he finally got a house phone to keep in touch with us.  Megan Baxter also came out with us for dinner - she almost had to kiss the old bartender for the extra baileys he gave us :).  We all came back for drinks at our place where we met up with Jess and went out for drinks… many drinks… We went to a new bar called 13 where the paint was still apparently drying because we all quickly got sick from fumes.  Then we went to the Tin and LIn where the bartender said he didn’t make any drinks with the word "bomb" in it.. wierd… Jess was in a great mood and somewhere in the recesses of her mind decided to get obliterated, which proved to be the funnies thing we have seen in a long time.  Good to know that she’s a very happy, laughy drunk.  After about 4 irish car bombs, and numerous pitchers without having food in her stomach she became a little tipsy… ok, really tipsy - see picture- especially on the way home from the bars.   Later she became very helpful around the house; taking down the shower curtain, going on wandering tours in her sleep of the apartment including a detour through my bedroom to get to the bathroom… freakin’ hilarious.

Had plans for my friend Jacquelin to come visit Toga and party last night but everyone bailed on her so she decided to stay at SUNY Albany and beat on their pledges.  She invited me down and for some crazy reason I decided to go without knowing what I was walking into.  Jon Hughes goes to school there also so I figured I’d probably bump into him as well.  Got a speeding ticket on the way down there.  Busted by a Laser - my radar may as well have just printed out a ticket!  Trooper was very nice though and we even talked about skiing before he reduced my ticket from 76 to a 70 in a 55… Shitty.  Anyway, got to her dorm and began to pound horrible box wine with her and about 10 other girls and a wierd guy who was maybe 5 feet tall.  I learned later that he just hangs out with them and really isn’t anyone’s boyfriend…. hmmmm… We got a ride from the pledges who were clearly upset about not being able to party or see their boyfriends and everywhere I went I was greeted in unison by groups of hot girls, "hi Jon"… VERY VERY COOL.  Ended up at some local college bar.  At this point I was completely hammered but trying my best to keep my composure.  Jon Hughes met us there and I don’t even remember what time I got back to the dorm with Jacquelin but apparently we ate a whole container of her roomate Kate’s ziti… mmmm mmm.   Great night despite the ticket

Well, last night everyone bailed on coming to Toga because of a going away party for Eric Loreno who is moving south.  So, Rick Spratt-ta-tat-tat came over with a bunch of beer and he and I set out drink as many as possible.  Sara from work and her girlfriend Jess stopped by for a while and got pretty frisky on the couch which entertained the drunk Rick Spratt immensely.  Adrian and Kristen stopped by at around 11 but Adrian was so drunk from the brewery and previous bars Kristen took him home pretty fast and put him to bed.  Sara and Jess took off to go do whatever it is lesbians do to each other… hehe, and Rick and I headed out to the Bullpen and Gaffneys for some drinks and I don’t remember the walk home.  I did wake up this morning with a girls number on my hand and another different one in my phone so I must have talked to some girls… who knows what I said I said to them… ha.  Another great Toga night.  Josh and Jess are up in the mountains of Vermont somewhere relaxin, so Rick slept in josh’s bed… won’t tell Josh that part though… ha.

Went mountain biking this morning on the Skidmore Trails before I went ot work.  It was awesome flying through the trees with all the colors and the temperature was perfect.  Fall is such a great season.  No bugs, no sweating, and winter is just around the corner.  Heading to Killington this Saturday!  Getting my skis waxed downstairs as I write this
