Well, looks like HEyHEY got the job
Jeez a two hour interview....boss seems like a good guy though. But the real adventure began after...My car got locked in a parking lot that closes at six, these fucks have the sign where you can't see it, so I am now downtown, no car. I figure, time for a drink then take the skytrain home. I go in the bar, get a guiness and hear two guys talking about soccer, I start yakking across the bar with them and eventually go sit. I looked at one close and recongnized him as a guy from my part of town, said "Hey man you're a moody boy!" He recognized me and was heading back our way, so I get the ride. Just before we leave his bro says, "treats?" I'm thinking "oh shit..." I said, "what are you picking up?" He says, "nothing big man, just some blow." (let's get this straight, HEyHEY - Has never done or wants to do coke)

Now I am have a major, after school special question...take the ride...you just got a new job, you don't need the kinda trouble that can come with this...I do the stupid thing...I take the ride, they get their poison, and we head home. I figure, all is well, then the fuckers start doing lines on the way. Worse yet, asking me to hold the CD while the snort..but I need the ride, I gotta, basically. Fuck I finally got dropped off, and a friend picked me up....fuck, mom forgive me for being so dumb.

3. Coulda been worse
At least you had the sense to not join in. Ya made it home. They didn't wreck due to stupidity (they will eventually).

Sounds like a truly shitty end to a good day. Just forget the bad stuff and move on, hey, ya got the job. Not too eay to do these days. Is it a good one?

I'm glad to see the snow gods were looking after you though.

Mom would forgive you.

9. oh yeah
And he asked me about that, I told him, "look I'm not looking to work here for two months then fuck off." He said okay, and explained he understood I was young and made it clear that he wouldn't care as long as I was there for 8 months at least.

10. He's not a stranger
When he was in grade 9 and I was in grade 8 he punched me in the back of the head...for no reason, then found out who my sister was and apologized profusley, either way years later her boyfriend kikced his ass for another reason...but we have always been at the same parties and stuff.

14. I agree with dweller. Because you know where they hang out, you
can now avoid it. You have learned some important things today. You know where not to park your car, from now on, but, more important, you've learned that you can handle yourself. I think you played it just right, you didn't join in, didn't offend or get yourself in trouble. Congratulations on the new job. It sounds like they were the fortunate ones to hire you.:-)

I've taken rides before from people that I shouldn't have for one reason or another and then thought "Dumb dumb dumb!!!" But, you made it. The job sounds like fun work.
