Sometimes Annoying

So my life runs in circles, I have written about it before.  Usually it thrills me to no end - the connection, how it all ties together - seeing the different parts of my life intersect - it is so awesome.  For example Kym is awesome and I met her like 27 years ago at Lechmere and she knows Michael (who actually asked her out as kids) and now I live 3,000 miles away from my parents home and yet just 10 miles away from her.  That is an example of a most excellent circle in my life and I love it.  More often than not the circles are wonderful but sometimes the are just so annoying.  At my part time job there was this puke of a kid named Jacob.  I am sorry I am not perfect and there are some people I just do not like, much like I know I am not the cup of tea for many people.  He was like 20 and the best way I can describe him is as a little prick.  He played all sorts of games and I knew it but management just loved him because he got a million people to apply for a credit card and nothing else matters in retail.  Honestly you could literally tell a customer to fuck off but if you are getting millions of them to apply for a credit card then you are golden and would not have any repercussions.  So the store manager just fawned over this idiot and I knew he was up to shit and finally he got fired for playing games with the rewards program.  The store manager actually cried because since that is a security issue she had no control and had to fire him.  Because I am an ass when I saw the store manager next I said, "Jeez where is Jacob, I have not seen him in ages." knowing full well the story.  I am not above it all, sometimes I sink into the muck and have to get my digs in.  Anyway so he gets the boot and I do not miss him at all and am enjoying the store manager being bummed out her golden child getting bounced and I never have to see him again - wrong!  I got to redbox and get a movie.  It is outside a Walgreens, I never go into Walgreens, but I think to myself that I am thirsty so I go in and fuck me Jacob is working there and the only cashier.  I thought "whatever" and got my drink thinking he would just pretend not to know me but no.  He was super friendly and nice, as if he was not a total asshole to me for a year".  I was polite back, as I said I never go to Walgreens so was thinking I would not have to ever see him again - still wrong!!!!  After I finish at my part time job, I head on over to the grocery store.  I am in line putting items from my wagon onto the cash register belt and fuck me but there he is behind me.  I smile and say, "oh we met again" and he says, 'hey how is it going?".  Please God, stop the insanity as I cannot take this! BUT NO.  I go to the gas station and go into pay and FUCK ME he is in line.  He looks at me and says "hey" and I am like ok stop stalking me and he laughs although I am being serious.  This is all in the course of a week.  There are 140,000 people in my city, why?????  What are the odds???  I guess this is some bizarre test to teach me humility, not to hold grudges, be kind to my fellow man regardless, etc.  Who the fuck knows but it is annoying the crap out of me.  I will admit that each time I see him it gets less annoying and I do not dislike him nearly as much as when we worked together.  I think another lesson is to count my blessings as most the time the circles are awesome and I love them and am lucky they happen.  Fingers crossed for zero more sightings but I am not feeling that to be the case.  Eh its fine.  I will just keep being polite and let the lesson soak in. Uff.
