Waiting

Because it is late and I don’t have the energy to write one of the million things I have been meaning to write I will leave you with a Facebook IM conversation between my friend Marcus Geraldo and myself tonight. I work with Marcus Geraldo at the sweatshop restaurant and tonight, at work we had a pleasant exchange of compliments insults.

Marcus Geraldo is also a stand up comedian you can find him here www.Marcusisfunny.com

*Names have been scratched out to protect the innocent

Marcus Geraldo-hey sorry for calling you grumpy or moody or whatever I said tonight

Katie-haha i dont care I thought it was funny (MANAGER) thought we were really fighting. I think we always talk to each other like that

Marcus Geraldo-yeah, but it was kinda mean

Katie- you were super grumpy tonight... and i can be super moody and grumpy there
I need to go get a real job I'm too old and have been doing this shit too long

Marcus Geraldo-I feel that way too. This comedy shit better take off soon. I'm tired of working like a rube

Katie-I even wonder if for the time I should just go be a manager somewhere
I would feel like such a loser if I did that
but it has benefits and not less bullshit, but different bullshit

Marcus Geraldo-yeah, but would it be worth the money?

Katie- for benefits yeah, for me to have decent health insurance it’s like 300 a month

Marcus Geraldo-wow, mine's way cheaper than that. You have a third arm or some shit?
don't tell me if it's personal

Marcus Geraldo-I don't like you enough to care

Katie- no just a past of shit, nothing super major but they still freak out about anything

Marcus Geraldo-and the HIV? say it... "and the HIV"

Katie- yeah that and herpes

Katie- and you would not even imagine how much crabs raise insurance these days

Marcus Geraldo-that's your fault for getting the over the counter shampoo...

Katie- that was shampoo?

Katie- I think I might just post this conversation on my website

Marcus Geraldo- go for it. but can you change my name to Geraldo?
