Dilemmas

I will keep this short, as it is just past 7am and I need to get some sleep.

You'd think someone like me would have no problem telling my boss to take this job and shove it, yet I have this problem of avoiding confrontation at all costs. Right now I am quite literally waiting for him to fire me. Yeah, I sold some 15-year-old bitch a pack of cigarettes who was working for ATF to fuck me, thus handing my boss a nice fine. It's pretty asshole-y to quit without notice when he's relying on me, especially after that. But it's pretty asshole-y to schedule your employees the night before, working them six days a week at just over 40 hours (no overtime pay, not to mention the holidays he doesn't give us extra pay for) at minimum wage. Yet even after writing that, where it seems obvious that I should just quit, I still can't.

Short Thoughts:
Had another nice cash this week. I might buy a car with some winnings, but I'm not sure I want to commit to registration and insurance and gas and the inevitable parking tickets, etc. etc. I'm waiting for my two cases of Viso I ordered last week to arrive. I really need to quit smoking, I smoke more now than I ever have in the past.  I am considering purchasing a standup bass.

Quick Final Note:
I think some of my friends are jealous of my poker successes of late. I expect as much from most of them, as I'm sure a lot of them think they work harder than I do and could use the money much more than I could, but if you're my friend why wouldn't you be happy for me? The pure financial jealousy I can understand, but the spite I do not. The truth is, it's absolutely fucking awesome I have shown profit and success in doing what I love to do, so help me celebrate it by offering congratulations not silence.
