Went to NJ for work and it was a wild week to say the least. Started with no hot water at the hotel on Tuesday morning. That sucks, cold showers are the worst. Work was good, learned some new things (Yes, an old dog like me can still learn new tricks) that will assist in my daily work!
Last night in town, I joined my co-workers for dinner at Victor’s Pub. Story there is it used to be the original Victrola Record Player Factory. Good food, good drinks, Brianna, our server was awesome and the prices are great. Finished dinner and we began walking back to the hotel (It’s only 4 blocks away) when we encounter a “Crack Head” shouting at us that we’re all “Pedophiles” and he’s going to kick all our asses. There are six of us. Paul is 6’4″ 300 lbs and Dan is 6’2″ 255 lbs. Crack Head was 5’9″ 170 lbs soaking wet. Not a good matchup.
As we continued walking and he continued screaming, we called his bluff and invited him over to a good old fashioned “Ass Kicking”. He swore he was going to kick all our asses until one of my co-workers going through a bad divorce suggested he go while he still could, as he was an angry man and nothing would have pleased him more than taking it out on a crack head with a nasty mouth. Needless to say, junior kept going.
4:20AM and it’s time to start moving, the ride is 8.5 hours and DC always adds to that. 5:02 AM and I’m on the road. Fill the tank and begin the ride south. Down almost to DC when I encounter my first ever “Karen” The woman is driving an early 2000’s Toyota 4Runner and switching lanes every 2 seconds and 100 feet to get ahead of everyone else. Well, I guess I wasn’t fast enough because after flashing her lights at me 20 times and then getting along side me, she starts screaming, yelling, flailing her arms and generally acting like an asshole. After I stopped laughing I continues my ride.
DC added 1.5 to the ride but by 3:21PM, I was home and into a cold Corona.
Stay safe, happy and healthy!
