h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Yesterday was my 35th birthday. I should have just stayed in bed. I got to work and my business partner let me know that we couldn't pay our equipment lease for the month. He borrowed the money from his brother and kept assuring me that it was better than borrowing from a bank. Well, his brother was not even a little bit understanding. I can't say I blame him. I hear he pitched a fit. So my business partner paid the loan for the month of March.
I wanted to excercise on my lunch break so I biked from my home to the canal which is a good little ride of about 14 miles. 7 miles there and 7 miles back. It was at the 7 mile point that I noticed something odd. It felt like I was riding through quicksand. I looked at my rear tire and sure enough it was flat. A large roofing nail staring me in the face, what fun. On the upside, I got more excercise than I bargained for, the bad part is that to get back home I had to walk through the worst section of town wearing green sweat pants and a red sweater.
Got a call to do some video work from the martial arts school I use to teach at. Everyone wants me to do something for free. I guess they don't realize that I have to eat. They recorded their last fights and when the tried to get it edited the guy wanted to charge over $1500 dollars. I told them I would do it for $100 and they balked at me. Trying to tell me how easy it would be and that they would never charge me to work out there. I picked up the tapes. 10 tapes! 10 freakin tapes! That's 10 hours of footage. It's gonna take me just 10 hours just to look at it. Not to mention edit it.
So, I went out to ye old local watering hole again. Cheapest beer in town. We'll call it "HundHaus". So I get to the Hundhaus and order my $1 draft and run into a friend who is talking with a guy named Dave. I have now me the most annoying person on the planet. I've never seen anything like it. The man talked non-stop for two hours. He never asked anyone a question and never cared who was or wasn't listening. It was just verbal diarhea. Everything in his head passed directly through his mouth. No filter. He wouldn't take the hint to shut-up, from anybody so I finally had to leave. Went downtown and ran into Jay and his new girlfriend barbi. We went to watch a local band and while she was talking and flirting with him she kept rubbing my damn leg. No shame at all. What does she think I'm going to do? I just got ticked off and left. I know Jay, he's a good guy. Lives in fantasy land but a good guy. I've had women date my friends before(while I was dating them) and I think it's just wrong.
So I went home and now I'm at work, looking at the corporate check book and wondering how long I can live on Ramen noodles and $1 draft.
