Happy and Biff's diary

Saturday 17/04/1941

Hello guys, Biff here.

Today was a busy day, not really in a good way. Father keeps blaming everyone else and himself for me not becoming his succesor, like when I failed in math he still believes I could be a good salesman when in reality I dont think I ever could be. Another thing, I was suppose to have a meeting with Oliver today, so I dressed myself nicely to go see him. Turned out I had to wait 6 hours! I am a patient man but this just crosses the line. Than to make it even better he didnt even recognize me. We spoke for about a minute before he brushed me off leaving me standing there after I waited 6 damn hours. After that I just left to meet Happy at the restaurant. On my way out I took a pen from him with me, after all thats the least he could give me. When I arrived at the restaurant I saw Happy flirting whith some girl, as usual, so I went up to him. I told Happy about the "meeting" I had with Oliver and he responded by saying I shouldnt tell dad the truth about what happend. He was telling me how I needed to lie to dad because that would save him a lot off unnecessary stress and problems. I agreed to this for this one time because I thought Happy might have a point. So when I came home I hoped dad wouldnt ask about my meeting but, ofcourse being dad, he did. I told him that it went ok that there was nothing to worry about, but it seemed like he saw right trough me. I tried to really convince him by telling a partual truth. I told him that I had to wait for a long time to see him and how I was never really a salesman to begin with but just a shipping clerk. This apperently angered him and drove him to the point where he told me he was fired from his job. I was suprised to hear this and wanted to know just why and how he was fired. He dodged my questions by asking more about the meeting, what I coudnt say much about. In the end I decided to just tell him the truth, but I didnt have much of a chance because he kep cutting me off and saying I was lying, lying about even going to see Oliver. So he was saying I was making all this up. I wouldnt do that and I certainly wouldnt let him call me a liar. I dont know why he was being like this, but theres just something with my dad lately that really gets on my last nerves. I just walked away and said that I couldnt and wouldnt talk to my dad like this. So a long day eh? I hope the next days will be better. I still hope I could get my own land with Happy though. Away from all this salesman stress and the busy city and always walking on eggshells around dad and him being all up in my business. Its just to much. Well anyway sorry for my whole rant, I just wanted to tell someone and I feel like I did. I feel better writing it down like this and maybe one day I look back at this and think "im at a better place now". Anyway that was it for today. I hope to see you all soon.
