People of this world

Both Kenny and I were late today, he came in just after me.
We’re running a job totaling 300,000, 19 palettes worth of
work, with me doing 99% of the lifting, keeps me in shape;
tomorrow I’ll need to don the back brace. Kenny is irking
the shit out of me, he seems to believe I’m his
entertainment when he’s bored and that’s most of the time.
Kenny will approach my work area and stand there, waiting
to start or hoping I’ll start a conversation, I’m listening
to music; it’s a lot better and more relaxing than
listening to the drivel coming out of his mouth. There are
any of a number of things he could be doing, besides
bugging me, he engages in conversation all day; with one
person or another. Seems a lot of people believe it makes
them appear busy, as though they may be discussing some
job. To say the least, he got on my nerves, I didn’t want
him anywhere near me. I saw him start to pick up a book off
the floor, bending isn’t easy for him and he decided
against it, he kicked it out of his way.
I got a call from Toya, she wanted me to take her to get
the van, she’s supposed to be leaving tomorrow morning; her
Mother-in-law wants her gone and acts as though she’s upset
with her Son. She never wanted Toya to be married to Shawn
and certainly didn’t want her in her house, that’s fucked
up. Toya said that she felt as though she were going insane
today, she was doubting herself, believing that the course
of events may have been her fault; I told her never to
doubt herself. What she’s going through is Shawn and his
Mother’s fault, she was having a panic attack, wondering
how she’d survive. She’ll cry her heart out when she
reaches Virginia, she’ll dust herself off and stand up, she
can’t afford to break down; her kids are counting on her
and I’ll call her often to see how she’s doing. Shawn will
be driving down, she’s still scared to drive on the
highway, her accident was caused by her being tired; she
said she’ll sit in the back with their Son. Whether she
sits in the back or not, that drive is going to be hell.
I caught hell working on my music, couldn’t get the Media
Player to stop making errors during the recording process,
I had 4 hours worth of music to put on cd and transfer to
the mp3 player; took me 6 hours. I eventually used Music
Match, I’ll be doing that from now on, thought I’d have to
go out for creamer, measured it and was thankful I had just
enough. Shawn was responsible for Charles’ alcohol
poisoning, he thought it would be funny to see Charles
drunk, can’t say when I’ll bring myself to speak to him
again; his own personal hell is right around the corner. As
for Shawn’s Mother, I may see her in passing, at the store;
won’t be making time for her. The both of them did this
girl so wrong, bad thing is, when she was having her panic
episode; she called them. Shawn didn’t answer the phone and
his Mother was of no use, she didn’t even want to help, the
only thing Toya is to her is the Mother of her Grandson.
The sooner Toya leaves, the better off she’ll be.
