Big Dumb Fun

The exit plan is not working like I'd hoped. I went out late this afternoon to get some cash at the ATM for parking and beer at the concert. I got back and noticed the message light blinking on the answering machine. I asked G who it was and he said, "don't listen to it". I asked if it was the people I'd inteviewed with last week turning me down. He shook his head and said, "don't play it." Of course, at that point, how could I not? I said "what?" 2 or 3 times before he said, "it's what I told you I thought would happen". More "what?"s from me, before he told me Vicki, one of the former owners, had called saying she'd heard the company was being dissolved. Apparently, the announcement was made but no one had called me. I'd taken today and tomorrow off to enjoy the concert. I laughed when he told me. I'm not really surprised, although I'd expected our office to close and not our Indy office. It's funny, damn it. Hee hee.

Went to the concert. Drank rum and Diet Coke and had some red wine. Some crappy opening act and then Kiss came on. I laughed almost the whole time. How cool must it be to be in your 50s and wear platform boots and heavy white makeup for a living? I wasn't into Kiss in the 70s. You've got to understand. I went to my first concert in 1973 or '74. It was the Osmonds. I loved them. I graduated from them to Barry Manilow. And Shaun Cassidy. I'm a middle of the road gal. But didn't I have a good time tonight? And isn't Paul Stanley hot? Wow!! Geez, I'm not going to have a job again. Paul Stanley looks great. This is fun!!

My friend Anne and I are there with the husbands. Someone wants to sit with their friends and trades us their tickets for the Aerosmith portion of the show. We leave our men and go down, down, down, to the floor!! Oh, my gosh, maybe Joe Perry will sweat on me. Joe Perry is so hot!! Shit, I'm going to be unemployed again. Steven Tyler is looking pretty good too, but Anne is into him, and I like Joe. Woo-hoo, cool seats, this is great!!

Once G and I were home, there are a couple more messages. One is from our creative director, talking about the owner dissolving (for the most part) the Indy office, but our office is still up in the air, depending on whether he (the Creative Director) wants to freelance or not. ?????? Am I fired or not? No call from the owner. What is this bullshit? If you're letting everyone else go, let me go too. What the hell is this? So tired. I guess I'll find out tomorrow.
