I spent the morning working in photoshop and playing DDR to pass the time. So far so good. I have had no trucks, no visitors, no nothing since I've been here. Oh well. Today is the last day I work until November 6th... I also have a doctors appointment that day. And the fair started yesterday. Hopefully I can drag Shane to it tomorrow bc I get paid today =)
Omg, my stomach feels like shit. I feel like I'm gunna get sick. Come to think of it, my face feels like I've got a fever. Not to the touch, but you know how you get that slightly cold chill to your face when you're sick? It's not cold, it just seems that way. You can tell its on the inside of you so-to-speak as opposed to your skins temperature. Idk how to explain it. But yeah. That's probably not a good sign. But as long as I stay well long enough to ride every coaster at that fair... then I'm okay.
Hm, I know Valentines is quite a way off, but I want to start thinking of something to do for Shane. I should be thinking about Christmas or something, which I am but only to an extent. One thing I am definitely going to miss is Christmas at home. It always seemed like a Happy, Cheerful, Funfilled holiday. Felt like there was really something to be excited for. But here, I don't think it's going to feel that way. It's just me and Shane... and I know Shane isn't too big on holidays to begin with. I'm kinda dreading Christmas to be honest with you. Back home we always had a Giant family get-together at someone's house... I say Giant bc I've got a big family. There are people there that I don't even know. And that's sad. Last year we had it at Moms house... bc we finally have a house big enough. Well, HAD a house big enough. They still have it, but I don't. I down graded. Lol. But yeah, Idk. There was always something going on at church or work or with friends or with my family. There were always cards coming in that Mom would tape up to the wall or the door. It's about the only time Grandpa comes over. The little stockings Mom made for us that we've had for years. Mine with a little Santa Claus hat that is cute when you flop it right on top of Santa's face. Even tho I hated wrapping gifts, I'm going to miss it. The dollar store Christmas paper and the boys bugging me about what their gifts are bc they know I'm the one that wrapped it. Mom throwing a gift at me, then telling me she's had it for a while. And that she thinks I'm going to like it. They way that Mom always says “this is going to be a small Christmas” but the stockings are always over flowing and we always get more than we need. Yeah, there's a lot I'm going to miss this Christmas.
First truck of the morning. Mar-leta AKA Wood Specialty. 4:23. It's almost 5. That's the time I wait for. Bc once you hit 5, 7 isn't far off. And by the time 7 rolls around its 8 before you know it. And the trucks get more frequent and soon enough it's 9:15... 45 minutes. Take out a piece of paper and start drawing. 9:30... Almost there. 9:45. Start gathering my stuff together and cleaning up a bit. If Toni is relieving me, she'll be in soon. If it's Jennifer, she'll arrive between 5 and 2 minutes til. So either way, the time shoots by. It's just waiting for 5. 5:30 is the time when some of the supervisors start coming in and a few of the employees. At 7 is the shift change. So there's a lot of people moving around. Then Teresa stops in at about 4 minutes until 8 to grab all the paper work from the previous day. Always pulls up with the music goin, leaves her car door open. Says good morning, and comments that the room feels good (bc it's nice and warm) then gets back in her Explorer and off she goes to the supervisors parking lot. The people are pretty predictable around here. But that's alright. Makes my job easier... not that it needs to be any easier. If there's not a truck in front of that window... then we arn't doing a Damn thing. And when there is one all we do is click either Arriving, Leaving or Loaded, Empty. Type in the truck number, trailer number, what they're carrying, who they're carrying for, and the computer weighs it for you. So all you do is print it out, hand it to the trucker man, write down the time, and that's it. They could have a computer do this job. Hell, the truckers could do this job. Pull up to a little ATM machine thing, and they put in what they need to. The only problem with that is some truckers don't know how to read a map, and come to the wrong plant, others don't know what the hell their own name is let alone what's on their truck, and then you have the stupid one's who just.. I mean. No, I'm not going there. Just trust me. I run into idiots. Which is probably why the pay sucks, but then again so do the hours, which they should increase our pay for. Lol. All in all, this shift really isn't too bad.
4:44. My stomach still hurts, my eyes are still heavy and I still can't go home yet.. Come on 5 o'clock. 15 more minutes. I think time should start skipping seconds for me a little at a time so no one would notice. Lol. I'm slouching like Hell right now. I feel like Fletcher. Only I'm not picking my nose or scratching myself. Idk, I might pick my nose later... Lol. Nah, my left side has been bleeding randomly lately. So I gotta shove tissue up there once in a while... not that you wanna know all that. And I don't wanna hear “Ewww” either... you act like you've never had to do it before.
I felt like a little kid when I looked down earlier. One side of my shirt was longer than the other bc I skipped a button. Lol. 4:50. Mar-leta Trucking is outta here. 10 more minutes. Hey I wanna try something...
<(o.O<) <(O.O)> (>O.o)> <(O.O)> <(o.O<) -He's exercising.
@-;-- -Want a Rose?
There used to be more. I don't remember them all. Lol. Ricky just came in again with Pollard. He's kewl. Now I understand what Shane's talking about all the time about me talking too fast and too low, bc that's what this guy does. But I just pay attention REALLY good and I can understand it. Lol. That and going back to second grade and understanding what they call “context clues.” Lol. I remember an episode of Reading Rainbow talking about that actually. It was a book about a giraffe and a gift.. and a king I think. I'm not sure. But I remember it... kinda.
I wanna go to the Fair...
I WANNA GO TO THE FAIR
I wanna go to the Fair...
I WANNA GO TO THE FAIR
I wanna go to the Fair...
I WANNA GO TO THE FAIR
I wanna go to the FUCKING Fair!!! Lol... well I do.
I'm bored, don't mind me. Omg... I really hope I don't feel like shit at the Fair. Bc I'm just sitting still and I feel nauseated... a coaster might push that limit. Just a tad... I've never gotten sick from a coaster. The only things I've even thrown up over was from just being sick.. and once from taking liquid cough medicine. Mom was getting irritated and was telling me to take it. And I told her multiple times, if I take it I'm going to throw up. I feel it... So in the end I took it... and I threw up. I hate liquid cough medicine. Pills please. I'm not a fan of those little gel things either, but I prefer them to the liquid. I prefer dry pills that aren't jelly. If they have some of those for cough medicine I'll take them... if I'm desperate. I don't take meds unless I have to. And I mean HAVE to. I have never taken pain killer for being on my period and cramping like most of the whiny girls in High School who always complained about it. Grow the Fuck up and stop being a sissy. Seriously. I know people to pop pills for just feeling a very SLIGHT headache... uhm, why? You're an idot. They're gunna end up growing immune to morphine if they keep that up. Haha. Could you imagine someone being immune to morphine for using it too much? Or Lortab. God, that shit knocks me on my ass. It takes the pain away, I'll give it that. But Damn. I'm drowsy as hell. Take one of those and a Seroquel, my ass is out in 30 minutes.
5:21- A Urea truck coming in. Almost 5:30 =) That means I'm gunna start having some peoples come in. Yay! It's sad that watching cars come in the plant is exciting for me. But there really is nothing to do here. Lol. I'm gunna try my luck at more DDR. Bbs.
Hehe. Between games and trucks and a good conversation with Jason, the Elliot driver it's now 7:30. Woo! You know what that means? 2 and a half more hours! And I'll be outta here. Fair tomorrow I hope. Certainly not tonight. I'm not getting my check til late. Jennifer is going to bring it home with her after she takes her son James trick or treating. So yeah. It saves me in gas to have to come back up here and get it and not only that, Shane works a full day today. Saturday he works half a day. So he can spend most of it on Counter Strike, as usual... THEN we can go to the fair =) Watch him say no, we don't have the money... Oh, I'll find the money. We have 100 bucks in just change. Don't tell me we don't have money. Lol. And that's not counting the change we have in my car that I haven't cleaned out yet. I keep that there so if I need a drink or something at work I'll have it if I don't have any dollar bills... which suck anyway bc the machine is so Freakin picky! That dumb machine. It's like... inny minnie miney moe... nope. I don't want that one. Try again. Lol. It's lame. Blah. 7:36. Teresa should be here in 20 minutes. Maybe 18. No sooner. Nah I'll go with 19. 7:57. We'll see. It's either 3 or 4 til. She likes to push it. Lol. Intimidating the clock is one of her past times. Well, it's past my getting off time, so I'm gunna run. I shall write more later and inform you on either the thrill of the fair (and finally having something to do) or the disappointment of not going (along with the name and number of the Hospital I checked Shane into). =) Later!
