Oh how karma and the world hate me. For once I do nothing wrong and yet I get the brunt of the aftershock. Let me get to the story to fill in the blanks.
After work last night I went over to my coworker’s house with one of the assistant managers to hang out. I ended up crashing over there and coming home this morning. The house was empty so I went on with my usual shit. Around noon or so I call my mom to see where she was and such. About an hour or so later she comes home with my dad (both were out shopping) and they call me down. At first I thought they were going to ask me about what I was doing last night so I was hesitant. I ask why and my mom says it wasn’t because I was in trouble, so I went down. Both of them were at the bottom of the stairs and I figured something juicy happened. My mom starts off by telling me not to say anything or rub it in which automatically pointed me in the direction of my brother. She then went on to tell me he did something stupid (go figure). The stupid thing he did this time was get pulled over by the cops, for speeding, in his friend’s car, with his permit, in another county. What. A. Fucking. Dumbass. Being me I said some smartass comment which made my mom reinforce the point about not making fun of him for his stupid decision.
About an hour after that he and his dumb friend come and my parents go out to talk to them. I’ll admit that I tried to listen in from an open window but failed. I did notice, however, that my brother has kept all his detention slips, write-ups, and the lovely citation/suspension notice on his wall. He does a lot of stupid shit yet is allowed to continue hanging out with his retarded friends. Back when I was his age I got slammed for the most trivial shit. I get pretty pissed about it and I have even told my parents to get harder on him but they do nothing. Although today this would only be part of the reason I am pissed.
In the last few days I have been planning an overhaul for my PC. It has been a long time coming since my current rig is a few years old and the only new things are the video card and power supply. I have spend time on Newegg finding the gear to push me higher and have found a decent setup for about $800. My plan was to replace everything and then take my current video card and power supply and throw them int he new box to save cash and keep them since I just bought them a month ago. To pay for it I planned to use the cash my mom planned to pay me back from when I had to give my parents all my graduation money to buy my car. Since my parents bought my brother’s car my mom planned to pay me back. That totals $1800. I would pay for the upgrade with what I needed and then throw the rest in my savings account. A perfect plan, but now there is a problem. Since money is tight she has been holding off on paying me back. To make things worse she now has to pay for the speeding ticket and any other payment due to my brother’s stupidity. My feelings now are really pissed off at him. I was feeling good about everything and now he has to go in and fuck it all up. The worst part all is that his court date is a month or so away which means I can either burn my current cash or wait who-knows-how-long and get my money from my mom and then have the current deals on the hardware go away. I’m fucked either way it seems. I just want to punch someone.
And as if this weekend couldn’t get any worse I have an English essay on character analysis to bullshit, study for a political science test, and prepare myself for a presentation in history.
Thank you world, for fucking me in the ass.
