The Stories You Cannot Tell

I opened my second tire store after having much success at my first. The first few months were slow and after spending thousands on advertising, I came up with a wicked idea to increase sales.

I went to the hardware store and bought a box of screws. I then drove around the blocks surrounding my business, throwing screws on the ground. That day and for 3 days after I had quite a few new customers coming in with screws in their tires. I was also able to sell some new tires and rims and shocks and stuff. It was a great idea I think. What I’d really like to do is find those things they use in police spike strips. Those would work great I think!

I am married and I had sex at work with one of the production people in her cubicle. We have been playing games for over a year now flirting back and forth, and this last weekend we were the only people in the building and it happened. We strted off joking around with about ten minutes left in our day when I said that I always wanted to have sex with my wife on a desk at work and her responce was ,”what “I” won’t do?” I practicly ripped her pants off as we were kising and she proceded to go down on me for a minute or two and then she was bent over that desk and it only took about 2 minutes and I blew my load all over her keyboard because she said to pull out even though I have had a vasectomy.I just finished cleaning up with her when her cell rang and it was her husband in the parking lot waiting for her. We walked out together (We had to set the passcode together, company policy), she turned, smiled and then I waved to her husband and went home to my wife. I have never even imagined that it would ever really come to this because we always joked that we both had to much to lose to ever take a chance like that but it happened and I have this funny feeling that it will happen again.

I can’t tell anyone what I am about to tell. For obvious reasons.I used to sell medical equipment overseas. I travelled extensively with many of my stops being in Asia, many of those being in the Phillipines and China. One trip I ended up at a bar called Red Lips where I met this amazing Phillipino girl. After taking care of her mama-san-madame-pimp she was mine for the night.
I ended up spending my entire time there with her. While I spoke to clients she would go shopping. I told her I’d see her again next time I was in town.

I’ve been back to the Phillipines six times since that affair. Each time I see her. I am even thinking about leaving my wife and marrying her, possibly even staying there on a long-term basis. I am now an ordained minsiter and my wife believes I am performing God’s work in the Phillipines. I am not sure I can continue this charade any longer.

After being employed for the same corporation for over twenty years I have had enough. Enough working overtime without proper pay, enough being mistreated by superiors as well as enough of not getting promoted when I should have been promoted above those same aforementioned supervisors.

…The place was loud and boisterous which worked in our favor. No one could hear us talk…

A few years ago at Comdex I was working the booth when I was approached by a man that told me he was working for a rival firm. After discussing our products with him, he informed me that he was rather interested in the products we manufactured and would love to get his hands on any technical reports, calculations, analyses and studies that I could obtain. At the time I had no interest in this knowing that it was both illegal as well as unethical. He gave me his card and I filed the idea as well as his card in my Rolodex assuming we’d never speak again.

I revisited his ideas and offer months ago after yet another incident with a technical manager at work. This was the proverbial straw that broke the camel’s back. I searched until I found the card buried beneath other cards that I filed.

I called the man. He suggested we get together for dinner at Ben Benson’s. Not a big steak fan but since he offered to pick up the tab I was not going to argue. Arriving a few minutes early I found him already waiting. The place was loud and boisterous which worked in our favor. No one could hear us talk.

…I made a deal to provide him with some of the technical specifications of the products we manufacture…

After talking for just over an hour while enjoying steaks and a few drinks, I made a deal to provide him with some of the technical specifications of the products we manufacture. He would provide me with a decent supplement to my income and I would provide him with what he wanted.

Wrong? Yes.
Worth the money? Yes.
Worth losing my job? Depends on when/if I am caught.

This is a story I cannot tell for obvious reasons. I feel guilt on occasion yet relieved when I am paid. As I move closer to retirement my level of stress decreases as I am to better plan for my future after employment. It was apparent that this corporation was not going to take care of me, so I am going to take care of myself.
