Day In The Life Of Bc

[Guest harvester52]

Today was perhaps one of the most ridiculous days of my life aside from my 18th birthday, and we just won't go there.

It started when I woke up. Generally, when I don't have to work, I get up around 9:00 AM. I pull the sheets back and climb out of bed with a sleepy haze in my eyes as I reach for my glasses. By the time I get them on my face, I'm standing up and ready to run to the bathroom for my morning leak. Sometimes, if I'm zealous enough, I'll bring my clean clothes to the bathroom with me so I can shower after I use the toilet. Today was no such day. My hind went from my mattress to the toilet, then right into my computer chair, and I sat on the internet, singing to one of my chat buddies. Granted, I was supposed to ride the bus down to my mom's house, and wanted to go before the heat of the day. It takes five hours and five different buses to get there, so I was supposed to start early.

I then decided that maybe I should leave a little later so I could be in the air conditioned bus during the heat of the day. I stayed on the internet, singing to my chat buddy on Skype. By about 11:30, I decided I should catch the bus. On a whim, I also quit my job at Wendy's, and decided that I am going to move back in with my mother, who is supportive. That's the milestone in all this. It was hard to do it, but on the way to the bus stop, I passed Wendy's, and I waltzed in there with a piece of paper that read "BC Hall puts in his two weeks notice"... wow, huh? It was liberating in the same sense that it was stressful. I couldn't believe that I just quit my job.

I left Wendy's and continued on. When I was across from the street from the bus stop, waiting on the walk signal, the bus came and left... without me. I punched air and decided I'd just wait for the next one. Having no idea when it came next, I sat down on the lawn near the bus stop under a tree, and pulled out my laptop. My eyes were locked on the lower right hand corner of my screen, waiting for a WiFi signal to show up. Nothing. I stood up, held my laptop to the heavens, and prayed for some kind of signal. I walked around a little more and finally found a weak, one-bar signal. I sat down, and siphened somebody's unprotected WiFi to check when the next bus came, and then sat there chatting for the next hour 'til it did.

It was uneventful until I got to the mall where I had to make a transfer. I was waiting at the bus stop, and sat down on a bench next to this old guy. He looked at me, and noticed that I had a piece of sound equipment sticking out of my laptop bag, and said, "Hey, you must be a musician." I said, "Yeah, kind of. I sing a bit and I'm a sound engineer." The guy then started talking about his career as a songwriter, and how he wrote these famous songs from the 60's. It was then that things started to make me feel good. Two smokin' hot chicks walked to the bus stop, and this old guy looked at me, and said, "Lookie there, one for me and one for you!" He then continued saying, "You're really big, you should be playin' football. You must lift weights." On and on. A complete masculine conversation and honestly, it felt good. He then invited me to his birthday party where there'll be 400 people, some famous band and he wanted me to run sound. It was a pretty amazing experience, but I don't think I'll be going to that party because this guy didn't even give me his phone number or his name. I think he was jerkin' my chain about the songwriter thing. It doesn't matter, though. I just know that I passed really well.

I got to my mom's house safely and bought some movies and a case of CocaCola for the family. It was quite the eventful day.

I really like how you wrote that. It was so descriptive. I felt sad when you quit your job. I guess maybe because I'm having regrets at jobs I've quit but shouldn't have. I'm really happy for your fateful meeting. Hopefully something good will come of it. Maybe new friends or even a career. It sounds like you've made it into the man's camp, the way he talked to you. Good for you!

Thanks for sharing your story. It was cool.

Changes are always a little scary but at the same time exhilarating. Like they say in the movie Dune: "Without change something sleeps inside us and seldom awakens. The sleeper must awaken." Sorry. I'm a sci-fi dork. Still, it sounds like your making some positive changes. That's always good, even when it is a bit freaky at first.

Congrats on passing so well! That's awesome!! It sounds like you were really "one of the guys". Cheers!

she says its not from me and its from all her miscarriges... im worried though about them they had a very low income with both my mom and step dad and sister working. and my step dad quit his job to be with my mom and my mom cant work in her state.

anyway but when i think about it the changes i have made are good.

i have 7 part time jobs with auditorium work.

i live with my dad.

i have a boyfriend.

i have a gender therapist.

but my moms family cant live off my sisters child support expescially with her going to college.
