Days of our Lives

Oops, I meant Days of "Min". (*New codename for resturant) Because that is truly what my work has become....a soap opera. At least I don't have to worry about catching Gossip Girl or Grey's Anatomy anymore. Nope, I get all the drama I need at work.

So where did I leave off? Well, You know that R. and N. have been going back and forth since she found out he cheated on her. I'm pretty sure they were still doing the hibbity dibbity and I know R. was still seeing "the other woman" Jen.

Now to throw in another player, and lets see if you can keep up. N.'s best friend at "Min" is C.. I got along well with her, she's a very pretty girl and just graduated in May. She's been dating her boyfriend S. now for about a year and a half and just last Friday they were planning to move to California together (where they know no one) because S. got an amaaazing job there (he's super smart). They've been planning to move now since about April and C.'s been very excited about it all. Everything appeared on the right track and S. even told someone at "Min" how in love he was with C. and how he was probably going to propose.

That was until N. and R. broke up that is. It's funny, because when the whole thing went down, it was me and C. telling N.that R. was a jerk and to not get upset about it. In fact, I would say C. was hating on R.even more so than me. But then a few things started to change about two weeks ago. I noticed C. was hanging around R.quite a bit. I noticed him flirting with her a bunch. He told me she texted him all the time. And I began to become suspicious about what was going on.

Last Friday (the night I went to bed at 5am) I went out with some people from work, including R. and C.. They pretty much stuck to themselves and when everyone was supposed to go to after-hours at a friends....they never came. Turns out, the two of them went back to R.'s place, and spent the evening in his hot tub....alone. Oh, and C.'s boyfriend was out of town that weekend.

The next evening at "Min" the two of them were all. over. each other. I KNEW deep down something had happened between them. That evening, N. was supposed to take C. out for a last night out in Champaign. Instead, C. ditched N.to hang out with R.. Riiight, always a good idea to hang out with your best friend's ex who cheated on your best friend.

Now this past week virtually every minute C. has not been packing for California, she's been at "Min" hanging out with R.. Literally everyone working there was becoming sick with their behavior and just hoping she would take off to California already with S. before something happened (if something hadn't already).

So I go to work yesterday, thinking C.was off in Cali with her boyfriend, hopefully starting a new life....sans R..

Oh wait, turns out.....Thursday night C. broke up with S.. Because he "went to a strip club". Riiiight, I'm sure you sleeping with your boss had nothing to do with it. So S. headed to California all alone, and C. showed up at "Min" last night (surprise, surprise).

R. told me that him and C. have been talking on the phone and hanging out a ton this week, and C. was just really confused and he helped her make this important decision. I'm sure you did R..

The worst thing is, is that poor N.(who has been through a hell of a lot) now has to watch her ex-best friend and cheating ex-boyfriend/boss act super cozy. Right before she left work last night she heard R. lean into C. and tell her, "You look so pretty right now, you don't know how bad I want to kiss you".

Ah yes, the drama. Soon, there will be another girl, C. will realize she stayed for nothing, and R. will continue to be womanizing schmoozer. Ah yes, stability in an unstable place. Gotta love it.

And sadly, this week was truly Joe's last. Sad business, but a part of a new adventure....I guess.
