On Wednesday, Annoying Guy announced that he was done and was packing up and going home. Trust me none of us ( my brother, the other sales rep, and I) in the least bit, made any attempt to change his mind. I mean how could anyone get mad at for not trying after everything that he put us through. If you have not read about Annoying Guy I highly recommend that you start with "Stop Annoying Me part 1" and work your way up to this one. Trust me by the time you get to this one you will have a deep and greater understanding of all the pain, hardships, and misery that Annoying Guy has put us through since May 1st.
One story that I don't believe I have told yet is the story of the salt, pepper, and creole seasoning. For some odd reason Annoying Guy did not think that one full salt and pepper shakers and a bottle of creole seasoning would not last more than a month between five guys so he kept hiding his salt & pepper shakers and creole seasoning. Every morning he would have a new hiding spot for them and every morning I would find them and me and the rest of the guys would use some to make our breakfast and then we would leave them out for him to see that we had found them. Every other day he would complain about how he is the only one who gets to use the salt and pepper shakers and the creole seasoning because he bought it and because it "would not last more than a month between five guys." "You guys that salt & pepper shaker and bottle of creole seasoning cost me eight dollars!" We all told him there was no way in hell that it cost that much and that at most he paid around three dollars for all three the creole costing about two dollars at most.
Finally after finding it stuffed in a bag that was stuffed in another bag that was stuffed in another bag that was stuffed...(you get the picture) on top of the fridge behind some large cans of protein shake powder, Joe, James, and I decided that was it. We hide all three in an empty bowties pasta box and there they stayed till I remembered them today. A few days after hiding them, Annoying Guy and I were at the grocery store and he said, "Man I have no clue what happened to my salt, pepper, and seasoning now I have to spend another eight dollars on all that stuff." I said, "Hey I saw how much it all cost so quit saying it cost eight dollars, you paid 3 dollars max." He was pretty quiet after that and so that everyone would quit complaining, mainly Annoying Guy, I bought salt and pepper for everyone to use at the house.
Another story I heard was the day after Annoying Guy left. He and one of the other sales reps were out knocking doors and Annoying Guy says, "Man being at home with Xavier was kinda weird, he would be happy one moment and then really pissed off the next." Hmmm maybe it's because every minute of every single day for the past 3 months you have made my life a nightmare with all your stupid comments, questions, and your racial slurs towards my people and other races. You are so dense you did not even know you were making racial comments. Then there was your non stop random noises and annoying voices, and how you would always blow the smallest things out of porportion and how you always wanted everyone to feel sorry for you. Yeah I think that pretty much sums up why I hated when it was just you hanging around the house instead of going out and being to work on time like everyone else.
Anyway here is a little musical number from You Tube that perfectly describes how I am feeling about the departure of Annoying Guy.
I have attached the lyrics to the song as well in case you feel as liberated from Annoying Guy as I do.
Can You Feel A Brand New Day Lyrics
by
Diana Ross
Everybody look around
'Cause there's a reason to rejoice you see
Everybody come out
And let's commence to singing joyfully
Everybody look up
And feel the hope that we've been waiting for
Everybody's glad
Because our silent fear and dread is gone
Freedom, you see, has got our hearts singing so joyfully
Just look about
You owe it to yourself to check it out
Can't you feel a brand new day?
Can't you feel a brand new day?
Can't you feel a brand new day?
Can't you feel a brand new day?
Everybody be glad
Because the sun is shining just for us
Everybody wake up
Into the morning into happiness
Hello world
It's like a different way of living now
And thank you world
We always knew that we'd be free somehow
In harmony
And show the world that we've got liberty
It's such a change
For us to live so independently
Freedom, you see, has got our hearts singing so joyfully
Just look about
You owe it to yourself to check it out
Can't you feel a brand new day?
Can't you feel a brand new day?
Everybody be glad
Because the sun is shining just for us
Everybody wake up
Into the morning into happiness
Hello world
It's like a different way of living now
And thank you world
We always knew that we'd be free somehow
In harmony
And show the world that we've got liberty
It's such a change
For us to live so independently
Freedom, you see, has got our hearts singing so joyfully
Just look about
You owe it to yourself to check it out
Can't you feel a brand new day?
Can't you feel a brand new day?
Can't you feel a brand new day?
Can't you feel a brand new day?
'Cause there's a reason to rejoice you see
Everybody come out
And let's commence to singing joyfully
Everybody look up
And feel the hope that we've been waiting for
Everybody's glad
Because our silent fear and dread is gone
Freedom, you see, has got our hearts singing so joyfully
Just look about
You owe it to yourself to check it out
Can't you feel a brand new day?
Can't you feel a brand new day?
Can't you feel a brand new day?
Can't you feel a brand new day?
Everybody be glad
Because the sun is shining just for us
Everybody wake up
Into the morning into happiness
Hello world
It's like a different way of living now
And thank you world
We always knew that we'd be free somehow
In harmony
And show the world that we've got liberty
It's such a change
For us to live so independently
Freedom, you see, has got our hearts singing so joyfully
Just look about
You owe it to yourself to check it out
Can't you feel a brand new day?
Can't you feel a brand new day?
Everybody be glad
Because the sun is shining just for us
Everybody wake up
Into the morning into happiness
Hello world
It's like a different way of living now
And thank you world
We always knew that we'd be free somehow
In harmony
And show the world that we've got liberty
It's such a change
For us to live so independently
Freedom, you see, has got our hearts singing so joyfully
Just look about
You owe it to yourself to check it out
Can't you feel a brand new day?
Can't you feel a brand new day?
Can't you feel a brand new day?
Can't you feel a brand new day?
To answer the question that the song poses, "Yes I can feel a brand new day!"
