Should be Day 204. I wanted
to work on my antagonists. I always picture them as the "villain" in
the story, but some characters can just be person that hinders or
clashes with the protagonist. He's not necessarily evil. I want to try
practicing writing all types.
Today in my
office one of my managers came to see me, asking how I intended to deal
with one of our sales representatives for repeatedly showing up late for
work and slowing down productivity in the workplace. I promptly fired
both of them. It's his own problem. He should have dealt with it. I
don't need people who can't think for themselves.
My
girlfriend left me on Saturday, and she has already gotten together with
my ex-best friend and former business partner Larry. Larry and I went
to college together and mingled in the same social circles. I suppose
that's how we became friends so quickly. With his connections with the
stock market, I felt combining forces with him would be a shrewd
business move for both of us, but he betrayed my company by giving tips
to my rival. He had the audacity to show up at my mom's Christmas
party, probably to meet more potential business associates.
Jennifer and I were never close. She
hung out with her friends most of the time, and when I wanted her to
show up in front of clients or appear at a social function with me, she
willingly appeared. She's the daughter of the owner of Glasnout
Technology, so she always showed up in the finest clothes. Sadly, no
plastic surgeon can fix the nose she was born with. At least there were
other women I could socialize with at those parties. Jennifer wasn't
too happy when she found that out though. She didn't buy my argument
that we weren't married yet, so I could hang out with whomever I
pleased. No matter. I'm meeting Beverly tonight for drinks.
