2003-12-07 03:34:47 ET So I went to see Type O negative a couple weeks ago.... My friend kept bothering me about it....and it ended up I had an evening off....well I got off of work at 630pm. The show was in Chicago...which is about 2-3 hrs away. That would put us there at 930 our time...830 their time. The show started at 7. So I got up early went to work and asked my boss if I could find someone to cover me, if I could leave early. I was thinking.....He had switched his hours that day...to make it more convient for him.....He wouldn t try to fight me for my desired time off. I was wrong. He huffed a little and kinda thought about it while I just stood there. Then he asks the dreaded question....... "Why do ya wanna leave early?" I tell him the truth...of course. and he kindsa rolls his eyes.....and tells me....well I guess, but ONLY if you can find someone to cover you. So I do, but then someone doesn t show up for the shift that they were already supposed to work...so that means I need to find someone ELSE to work....and I can t, BUT THEN!!! The guy who no called no showed...CALLS and my boss tells him we don t need him! I freeked....I did need him!! I was going to miss the show. Ends up...one guy I called...shows up at 530...and as I am leaving...my boss comes up to me and said he was "sorry" and that it didn t occur to him the other boy could have covered me. BULL!! He then tells me he was mad at the kid because he didn t show and that he really didn t want him to work. So I see, you were spiting him?...not me?...ya.... SO ANYWAYS.....This is looong. bleh :P I get to the show....and I see all these people standing around. I m thinking that the first band had just got done.....I was wrong. There were a bunch of INDY people there...they ran up to me...Oh blah blah blah TYPO blah blah sooo goood...blah blah. My brain twitched...I stopped one of the grrls...and I ask her....did I miss them...? She looked shocked. "Did you just get here?" OH yea! I missed them...BY 5 MINUTES! FIVE FUCKING MINUTES! and I will probably not get another chance for the next 3 years. My ride was still parking the car..... Then someone said something...I can t remember what....but I started to cry. It sucked....but then one of the grrls gave me Peter Steels bass pick. I m a charity case. She said that it seemed really important to me and that I should have it....aww... Just a little note....I have never even talked to these people before. One grrl, works at this gas station I always go to....I could never strike up a conversation with her....the grrl with her...she knew my brother somehow and then she wouldn t stop talking to me... The other grrl who was there with her man....shops at my store....we have talked about such things as the matrix and the misfits. I thought it was really nice that they even came up to me to say hi...they didn t even know me....and they were nice. When my freind Chad came in I told him...and we went and watched cradle of filth and then went to the neo. I danced off my sadness. I m no longer bitter I missed the show.....I will just have to MAKE time to see them again..... |
