I decided to give Sam another chance, seeing as how my options for getting to work are slim pickens. In order to get from home to work, I have to take 2 buses. The first one runs late, which is great, at least on Thur & Fri nights. The problem is that bus #2 no longer runs late, which means my only option would be to take a cab the few miles, which would run about $15. I forgot to ask the operater how late the weekend buses run, but around here never later than 7:30p or 8:00p. This getting to work business since 8/11/09 has been a constant thorn in my side, cause I don't have $1500 to buy a used car.
Depending on other people to get me to work on time, if at all is very stressful and Mom doesn't want me using hers. She grilled me tonight, asking why I'm never sociable anymore. Besides the using, it's major depression. For now, there's nothing I can do until I have my own car again to be sure I get to work on time. I don't know what Sam's trip is or was, other than that he is a gambling addict that claimed he never touched drugs. His behavior left me wondering the last 3 weeks he drove me cause either he'd be talking 10 miles a minute, interrupting me at every turn, or not say a word and be in a real shitty mood.
When I asked him if he was angry at me, he'd say no. Another time he kept falling asleep at the wheel, an indicator that maybe he'd been up 2 or 3 days, plus the fact I have to call him all the time to make sure he is on his way, which sucks, but I'm in no position to afford a cab every night. The final straw for me was that he sent me a text message one night an hour b4 he was supposed to pick me up (not enough notice to take the bus, then a cab the rest of the way.) I ended up getting a ride from Linda, who is spun city, but at least I got there on time. Then 2 nights later, Linda didn't show up, so I called one of my connects, as I was desparate.
He did it, but I was 1 1/2 hr late for work and the lady is understandably starting to get pissed off at me being late half the time. Believe it or not, when I had my car, I WAS on time almost all the time, and if I was late we're talking 10-15 minutes, which she doesn't have a problem with. Dave is always reliable when he agrees to drive me, and in spite of the fact he needs money, doesn't work, doesn't do anything but sit on his ass all day at home, 75% of the time, he is unwilling to drive me for money, whether it's $10 or $20.
Yet, the times he's asked me to score for him, that MF will be texting and calling me the minute he knows I get out of work at 7am and wants to come pick me up from work. That's what really pisses me off about him. So, when he asked me to pick up for him, I told him no. Besides that, I REALLY am wanting a break from the shit. Surprisingly, one of my connects said he'd drive me, just give him plenty of notice. He asked if I wanted/needed anything, but I said, "You know what, I need to stop this for a while. My damn tolerance is too high and it's a bloody waste of $." "I hear ya," he said, then, "I've got some EXCELLENT shit. I'll hold onto a bag for you."
That of course is a mixed blessing having a connect drive me to work. Kill 2 birds with one stone, but that has obvious disadvantages 2, haha.
