I am off tomorrow, praise the lord



Now, the big question is can I get the money that my former manager owes me? Due to consistent nagging from his wife, he never paid me for cat sitting probably to spite her. This was the weekend I had my wallet stolen back in APRIL. I ran into him again, with her, and he promised the ever-mysterious funds. Unlike my mother, I will get this money from him by ambushing him. He does payouts on the register at Wollman, just the right time to remind him of money. Yes, kiddies, that means I'll be headed into Central Park after work.



His huge bratlings resemble that Gilligan's Island episode where all the fruit has radiation and grows really large. His newest kitty is totally black with a white spot on his neck and reminds me of Olive, even down to the squeakster "meow." Well, I won't watch them again if I don't get paid! He knows this. He also knows I will not comment on the disastrous nature of newspaper/magazine build-up in his front hall. Let's just say his wife has a beenie baby "problem" and there are bags and bags from Hallmark everywhere. He could make a killing on eBay with this stuff. Lord knows I was tempted to take a few. They're nice people, just very disorganized.



As for disorganization, I'm getting more militaristic by the day. I ruthlessly tore through a stack of old magazines and closet lunacy with fervent glee. If I can't think of 3 good reasons to keep it? Out if it's ripped/stained, eBay if it's in good shape. Why on god's green earth did I need 5 different articles about Mickey Mantle's death? 1 is enough. The rest will travel somewhere else. And the cookbooks are going out, too. I think my John Beard collection about Meats, Fish, Bread, Pasta, and Desserts is enough. Anything else is conspicuous consumption and must end.



Queer Eye has helped, too. All I need to do is take the same object and look at it in a different perspective, make some catchy Carson commentary, and it's either thrown out or redirected somewhere useful. If they can take hairy galoots and teach them how to fix their space and shave better? Then what the hell is my problem?



Anyway, I'm excited--another Target trip tomorrow. Huge boxes of Boo Berry cereal for $2.89, can't beat it!
