The other day I was online looking at something. I don't know what got me started on this. But I was looking at road names around where I live. It was very entertaining. Here are a few of what I found. It's interesting.
Little Man Lane
Rocky Road
Porkys Place
McIntosh Lane
Deephole Lane
Drive in Lane
Raise The Roof Way... yes you read that right. And no, I'm not joking.
Jacksonville Road... Represent! Haha, jk.
Taneisha Lane... nice.
Flannel Way
and then these were interesting because they make Shanes whole name
Shane Lane, Micheal Lane, and Metts Lane. Lol
(Update: I later found out that Shane's Great Grandfather actually owned all that land but lost it all in poker games. Lmao. Sucks to be him!)
Hootie Court
Full House Lane
Church of God Lane
and then I thought these were pretty funny...
Nascar Lane
Walkamile Place
Goodwrench Lane
Ostrich Run Road
Martinifield Lane
Yellow Brick Road
Pork Chop Lane
Cut Through Road... which was actually named appropriately bc that's what it did.
Then these are all in the same neighborhood:
Little Debbie Road
Jelly Rolls Road
Forever Ford Lane
Hod Rod Lane
Taurus Lane
Monty Lane (as in Monty Carlo)
and they are all on Hard Pinch Road.
These were all kinda random...
Kodak Lane
Three Girls Lane
St Elmo Lane
School Bus Drive
Mc Donald Drive
Hicks Lane... no joke.
Semper Fi Drive
Ladies Secret Lane
Come About Way
Crooked Stick Lane
There is a Clyde Moultrie Dangerfield Hwy right off of Rifle Range Road.
Dupont Way
Cypress Gardens Road
Dog Pound Road
Intimidator Ln
Last Chance Trl
Tomato Ln... like it said. It gets interesting.
I'm sitting here at work. Its 7:06 right now. I'm stuck here til 2am and every other hour I've got to get on this little propane powered cart and drive thru all the rain and muck and dirt and tons of sawdust to get to keys that I have to stick in this box and turn it so they know I've made my rounds. And the cart has no roof. So when you go to sit back down your ass is all wet. It's gross and you feel like shit. But it's a job and this coming check will be nice. I'm off until Wednesday after this shift. When I come back I got a 12 hour shift... But after I work Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday then I'm gunna be on my way to Jacksonville again. Woo! I do feel bad for leaving this job tho. They've been out of work since May. And I started here in September. So they weren't so over worked once I got here. But now that I'm leaving it's going to make their holiday schedule a mess. I'm glad I don't have to work Christmas, but I do feel bad because it's going to make it harder on them. But it's all part of the job I guess. Well it's 8:27 now. I'm gunna go work on my Variety Puzzle book til Fletcher gets here. But I might be back. But then again by then I'll have net I think so I might not. I guess you'll find out if there's more to read after this. Haha. Later.
Well, it's now day 2. I got off work at 2am this morning. Went to bed, woke up, did some shit, and here I am. I was talking to Ray about some stuff on aim this morning and it's some things that I forgot to mention in my other blogs and then some that happened today. Anyways, I'll just paste what I said to him in here and give you a description when I feel like you might need one. Haha.
“Lol. I'm on the phone with my dad and hes so computer illiterate. hes trying to look up something and hes like... they didn't put a "Y" on the keyboard.”
“He's like idk how to get rid of the 'A'... how do I get it off. I tell him. Then hes like.. oh shit. it all went away. Now I got a bunch of minus signs.
Then after all the trouble of finding the keys and typing this dudes name in 3 times and finally realizing how to close down the picture with the little “x” in the corner, hes like 'All hell. I forgot to go to youtube first.”
He came to a point here he needed to download flash player and after I settled his worries about him not being charged for it he goes, 'Oh shit. now i need a password.' He read the user name, 'Venus Woods,' then thought about a password, '...what about dick head?' lol
Finally he's like 'Fuck this, it was easier yesterday.' Then he goes, 'they got a little pointing finger. i think hes shooting me the bird.' Lol. And he's so serious about all of it. Haha.
I was going to show him how to do alt+f4 while he was trying to close down the picture and i asked him if he sees the alt key and hes like hes like 'yeah, i hit it but it didn't do shit.'
You talk to him about fishing or pipe fitting or old fashioned anything and he's a wiz. Speak in terms of technology and thats like a whole new form of illiterate. Its amazing.
I got a headache from all that laughing. Lol. I haven't laughed like that since I was on the phone with the pizza lady and told her i wanted everything but pepperoni and you know what she comes back with?
"Pepperoni? What's pepperoni?" No lie.
I was trying to play DDR and order it at the same time... wow. After that I couldn't do anything but cry, I was laughing so hard.
It took everything not to laugh on the phone and even that failed miserably
Oh and you know what? I went shopping 2 hours before I left for work yesterday... and some of what we had was a 12 pack of rootbeer, 6 pack of yoohoo, 2 snack things (12 pack little debbie things) frozen honey barbque chicken.. and some other stuff
And I'm talking about that Tyson chicken. The bags of it.
But when I got up this morning and went for some food. There was only 2 rootbeers left, 1 yoohoo, NO snacks AT ALL and a small piece of chicken.
And the only reason we still have a 2 liter of creme soda left is bc he refers to the process of finding a cup 'work.'
Even tho I'm dating a pig... I still love him :)

The Most Meaningful Blog I've Posted Yet... I Think.
0214... If that were a date, it'd be Valentines Day. 2/14. Lol. Anyways, I definitely didn't want to get up this morning, but I did. It definitely feels better getting up on your own. And what I mean by getting up on your own is not having the effects of the sleeping pill you took the night before still weighing you down in the morning. I'm less tired and feel better when I get home. I can go to bed later, and still wake up when I need to for work and be okay. On the pill I go to bed at 1830ish (6:30) and I get to work and I'm tired. Without the pill, I can go to bed at 2000 (8:00) and still feel good when I wake up... even if I didn't actually get to the sleeping part til 2130 for random unknown reasons... I'm still good. It's nice.
What isn't nice is that I told my supervisor yesterday that I'm leaving to go back to Florida in two weeks. And I feel bad because I just got here and I'm sure they were relieved to finally get the spot filled and give them a little bit of relief come Christmas time. And now I'm leaving. And she's already got the schedule filled all the way until Christmas. So not only is she going to have to redo all that, but now everyone else is gunna go back to being over worked and under staffed. And this job isn't an easy one to fill. I feel bad for leaving, but I did give my full two weeks notice. I think Toni's kinda upset with me tho. When I told her... it's the first time she just didn't say anything. She's never just stopped and stared like she did after I told her. I think what was going through her mind was that she has to redo the schedules, everyone's going to be over worked, and it just came out of nowhere for her. But then again, it came out of no where for me too. I don't know. I just can't help but feel bad.
And the other people I hate to leave are Russel, Janice, and CJ. Of the three, Janice is the one I'm least worried about. She's got Russel to talk with even tho they bicker back and forth. It always clears up, and not only that, she's the only one out of the three that have family to turn to. She's got someone to trust. Russel and CJ don't really have that. Russel is our landlord, and basically Shane's Godfather. He's helped us through a lot. And he and Shane have gotten close, tho I doubt he'd admit to it. And I really hate to take the one person he knows won't turn on him 300 miles away. Everyone else just seems to be two faced and backstabbing. Not EVERYONE, but Shane's really earned his trust and not many people get that. I just really hate to leave him. And CJ... he's just. I don't know how to explain that one. He's Shane's brother and he's got nobody. He puts up with a lot and Shane and I are really his only escape. I really hate to leave him there because I feel like I'm just leaving him alone in this giant mess. Right in the middle it. I told Shane that we should take him to Florida during the summers. It'd give him something to look forward to and get him out of all the drama. I think he'd like that. At least I hope so. I just really hate leaving him here.
So leaving here and going back home isn't as thrilling as it should be. You'd think I'd be happy about it. And I am, but every time I think about leaving, I think about the ones I'm letting down and I hate it. Yet at the same time, what am I suppose to do with the baby coming? I CAN NOT raise it around all the stuff going on around here. There's too much drama and too much stress and just too much bullshit going around. It's not a good environment AT ALL to raise a baby in. I'd give you details, but I'm just going to leave it at that. You don't need to know the drama. And not only that, I don't want to address it and have you look down on someone you don't know. He/She really is a great person, just has a few issues. He/She doesn't even know I'm pregnant. Shane doesn't want them to know. At least not yet. I'm sure he'll tell them eventually. But that's Shane's choice. I'm staying out of it.
So 12 days to go and I'll be home. We've got an apartment at the beach lined up and ready to move in come December 1st, although we aren't moving in until the 6th or 7th. I'm excited about the fact that it's at the beach. I can't wait for summer to come along. Even tho I'll be pregnant as hell when that time gets here. But I'm sure Jon will love coming over with it that close to the beach. Haha. It's about 2 miles from Hannah Park according to Dad. And it's right next to the ferry. So if I wanna go the the Jetties (my favorite beach) then all I gotta do is hit the ferry and I'm basically there. Driving completely around takes forever. I'd rather just pay the three bucks and float my ass across. Lol.
Getting off off topic again, I was sitting outside with Shane yesterday and we had a little bonfire thing going in the backyard. Just burning pine straw and random shit that we found laying around. And I just started looking around me. Looking at the Gazebo and the lake in front of us and thinking about all the ducks that like to gather under the tree in the front yard. Thinking about all the time we spent at that stupid dock catching nothing and still having a great time. Me being the gofer when it came time to get drinks or worms. Russel would give me some money and I'd run to the store and get cigarettes or worms or beer. Whatever anyone asked for. It was fun. Definitely good times. I'm going to miss those. Or when they'd get a good catch and I have to take a picture and run to the house and print it out for Sheldon so he could show it to his preacher. Lol. And he was always so amazed when it came to what technology could do. He calls the monitor a TV. Lol. Sheldon is the guy who owns all the land here. He's a nice guy. I'm definitely going to miss it. Who knows, maybe we'll be back one day.
This nausea thing is starting to get to me. I don't mind the puking, I'm just not a fan of constantly feeling like I have to then having my body change it's mind. Hell, at this rate I'll lose weight during the pregnancy instead of gain it. I don't each much as it is, and when I do eat it ends up back out. What's up with that? Lol. I'm getting tired again too. At least today when I get home I can actually sleep. I couldn't yesterday because then I wouldn't have been able to sleep that night. But I don't gotta worry about that now. Not tonight anyways.
Well it's 0601 now and I'm tired as hell. People are starting to come in. This the most action I have seen in the past two weeks. Even saw the garbage man today. It still didn't keep me from passing out a few times. And even nodding off while writing this. I'll be alright in the end. As long as I don't get any philosophers in here today then I'm... well I was going to “I'm good” but then a philosopher came in. That's just how my luck is I guess. That's what I get for being grouchy.
Well I just got two trucks in. Finally. And I got this heater thing sitting next to me and it is workin good. But now I feel like I'm gunna get sick. I hate randomly gaging but not having to get sick. Just let it out, geez. It's so annoying. Well Cardinal man just arrived. Right on time too. Tim Evans, truck 20813, trailer 265654, and a hat. It's like a video game with him. If I get it all right I unlock a bonus and get a conversation. I like catching him off guard. It ruins his little facade he's got going on.
Biker man just got here too. I knows his ass is cold on a motorcycle. You wouldn't see me doing that. My car has got frost all over it just from sitting there for almost 5 hours now. So on a bike, I can only imagine the cold. He's got guts. Cold ones, but he's got guts.
0659. Three hours left before I can go home and sleep. I got this heater two feet away from me. Two freakin feet... and it's still cold. And not only is that on, but the main heater is on too. Set for 76. How can I still be cold? Supposedly it's only 34 degrees out right now. Only. Lol. Yeah, I'm getting used to the 20's I guess. Well I was looking at wedding rings for Shane last night and I think I finally found one I like. I just need to get to a jewelery store so we can see what size we really are instead of using those paper ones you print out online. They aren't exactly accurate. Haha, all the grass is frozen over. Sorry, random.
But I was getting opinions on rings and I had three that I narrowed it down to. One of which was just a plain gold band. The other weren't so simple. They weren't complicated my any means, just not a plain band. And I wanted to get him something that would stand out among other rings. So there were two others. One was more of a titanium band with a thick gold ring around the center. And the other was a rounded, glossy silver ring with a thin gold ring along the center. I think I'm going with that one. Doesn't sound like much but I really liked it and so did everyone else who saw it. Well everyone at Mom's house anyways. Lol. I showed Jon the titanium looking one and he liked it. Then he said the more he looked at it the more he liked it. And Shane liked it too, but for a wedding ring I'd like something a little less casual. Something that would stand out and say “Look at ME! I'm Married!” Lol. I think the one I chose is the one he liked the most. So we'll see how it goes. It's just a size issue now.
It's now 0847. Ive had a lot of people coming in and out keeping me busy. So it's been good. I like days like this. What's going to suck is when there is no one here later this week and we are double staffed. Two guards on post at all times and we are working 10-12 hour shifts. That is going to suck ass, but the check will be about 500. So it's worth it I guess. Lol. I'm just not gunna be in that great of a mood when I gotta work with Fletcher. There is just always this awkward silence and nothing to talk about and he's always staring at me. Not in a bad way. I guess when you're in here by yourself all the time with nothing to do and you see another human... something that MOVES unlike all the other useless, inanimate stuff this place is filled with. Then yeah, it passes the time to look. Idk. That's just my theory. 0901. I gots an hour left so I'm off of here. See ya!
What isn't nice is that I told my supervisor yesterday that I'm leaving to go back to Florida in two weeks.

December 5 (fri) – 1000-1800 (10:00am-2:00pm)
I don't ever want to hear you complain about your hours again. Period. And last night... sucked ass. I tried so hard to sleep but I couldn't until 8:30ish bc I had a killer stomach ache. It hurt so bad. After that was over I was finally able to sleep, but the problem was... I couldn't sleep. I was up and down all night long. Then when I finally DID get to sleep... it was 12:20 and my alarm goes off at 12:30. Go figure. I hit snooze 3 or 4 times each morning I work. So I don't actually get up until 1am, but even so, it was the same situation. I couldn't get comfortable at all between me hitting snooze until the very last one.. which again, was 10 minutes before I had to REALLY get up. So needless to say my night was Hell. So now I'm at work and it's 0337 and I feel like shit. I feel like I'm going to get sick and I hate that feeling. I just want to go home, puke my brains out and sleep all day long. Problem is... I work tomorrow morning. So if I sleep all day today, then I will have another sleepless night tonight. Sucks... But after tomorrow I'm off til Thursday. Looking forward to it already. I feel like I'm dying...
Oh, and since I'm moving back to Florida in two weeks... Surprise!... I might as well tell you what I've been avoiding to publicly post. I'm pregnant!... Surprise again! Lol. Which would explain me wanting to puke my brains out and sleep all the time. So yeah. Shane and I are moving into an apartment two miles from the beach... awesome! Can't wait til summer! Haha. But yeah, it's us and the baby.. as soon as it gets here. I still have a while. We've had plans to get married and have a baby... but it just came out of order and too far ahead of time. So, we're getting married soon after we get back to Jax. Something really small. Prob just our rents. I hate being the center of attention. I don't want a big wedding. The reception, I don't care... Mom is getting all excited. She wants to plan out the reception and the baby shower. Asking me what colors I want for my cake and stuff. She's working at Hobby Lobby now and she's thrilled that she can buy baby shower and wedding things discounted. Haha.
I'm gunna hate the baby shower bc I'm gunna be the center of attention again. I told Mom we should just have them send us stuff and I'll open it on live web cam. It'd be easier on me. Haha. But she said I'll get over it... we'll see. I told her it better be at our house too. Because I'm not much of a social person. Not only do I not want a Baby Shower and all, but I'm gunna have to stay til the end bc it's appropriate. So I told Mom she better have it at her house so I don't feel so out of place sitting around waiting for everyone to go home. Lol. It sounds mean I know, but I can't stand being the center of attention like that. You just don't get it. I've always been shy, and I've gotten over a lot of it, but I'm still not cured. Anyways, yeah. That's the news. Moving back to Jacksonville, a wedding and a baby. That's a lot to learn at once if you knew nothing. Lol. I'm happy about it all. I'm excited. I'm not going to be happy about the midnight wake up calls for feeding... but it's worth it. I'm hoping for a girl... Shane wants a boy, of course. So does his Dad. He'll call all the time, “So, how's my grandson doing?” Lol. I get emails from Mom, “Want me to knit some booties? What color do you want? Yellow? Green? Pink and Blue together to play it safe?” Lol. Poor Mom. She's doing more work than I am. I asked her where she's sending me on my honeymoon. She said the utility room. Haha. I'm like “Thanks Mom! 'Congrats on the Wedding, NOW FIX MY WASHER!' ” She's excited. So that's kewl.
0518. Still nauseated off and on. Still tired, but it's surprisingly not getting the best of me... *knock on wood*
0604. I never did knock on wood. Maybe that's why it's starting to get the best of me... ugh. Please... don't let me get sick. It's the last thing I need right now but I feel it coming. Yuck.. I hate when I get like this is bc I try to sit very still and to control my breathing. I guess I feel like it will help... but maybe not. I want to go home... ugh. Four more hours. *whine* Good thing Shane will be up in a few minutes. I'll be able to call and talk to someone.
So much for not getting sick... well maybe I'll feel better now. I'm awake, that's for sure. I want some crème soda... lol. I'm sad aren't I? 0625... Shane's alarm will be going off in five minutes. So I'll call him in ten. Wanna know something else I'm tired of? Being hot then cold... I wish I could just keep my jacket on. I'm full of complaints this morning, aren't I? O well, if you want to stop reading you can. If not, then don't blame me.
0703. Three more hours. 0720. It's getting there. 0730. Two and a half... 0803. Two hours... 0858... one more hour. Putting up the lappy top. See ya.

December 5 (fri) – 1000-1800 (10:00am-2:00pm)
I don't ever want to hear you complain about your hours again. Period. And last night... sucked ass. I tried so hard to sleep but I couldn't until 8:30ish bc I had a killer stomach ache. It hurt so bad. After that was over I was finally able to sleep, but the problem was... I couldn't sleep. I was up and down all night long. Then when I finally DID get to sleep... it was 12:20 and my alarm goes off at 12:30. Go figure. I hit snooze 3 or 4 times each morning I work. So I don't actually get up until 1am, but even so, it was the same situation. I couldn't get comfortable at all between me hitting snooze until the very last one.. which again, was 10 minutes before I had to REALLY get up. So needless to say my night was Hell. So now I'm at work and it's 0337 and I feel like shit. I feel like I'm going to get sick and I hate that feeling. I just want to go home, puke my brains out and sleep all day long. Problem is... I work tomorrow morning. So if I sleep all day today, then I will have another sleepless night tonight. Sucks... But after tomorrow I'm off til Thursday. Looking forward to it already. I feel like I'm dying...
Oh, and since I'm moving back to Florida in two weeks... Surprise!... I might as well tell you what I've been avoiding to publicly post. I'm pregnant!... Surprise again! Lol. Which would explain me wanting to puke my brains out and sleep all the time. So yeah. Shane and I are moving into an apartment two miles from the beach... awesome! Can't wait til summer! Haha. But yeah, it's us and the baby.. as soon as it gets here. I still have a while. We've had plans to get married and have a baby... but it just came out of order and too far ahead of time. So, we're getting married soon after we get back to Jax. Something really small. Prob just our rents. I hate being the center of attention. I don't want a big wedding. The reception, I don't care... Mom is getting all excited. She wants to plan out the reception and the baby shower. Asking me what colors I want for my cake and stuff. She's working at Hobby Lobby now and she's thrilled that she can buy baby shower and wedding things discounted. Haha.
I'm gunna hate the baby shower bc I'm gunna be the center of attention again. I told Mom we should just have them send us stuff and I'll open it on live web cam. It'd be easier on me. Haha. But she said I'll get over it... we'll see. I told her it better be at our house too. Because I'm not much of a social person. Not only do I not want a Baby Shower and all, but I'm gunna have to stay til the end bc it's appropriate. So I told Mom she better have it at her house so I don't feel so out of place sitting around waiting for everyone to go home. Lol. It sounds mean I know, but I can't stand being the center of attention like that. You just don't get it. I've always been shy, and I've gotten over a lot of it, but I'm still not cured. Anyways, yeah. That's the news. Moving back to Jacksonville, a wedding and a baby. That's a lot to learn at once if you knew nothing. Lol. I'm happy about it all. I'm excited. I'm not going to be happy about the midnight wake up calls for feeding... but it's worth it. I'm hoping for a girl... Shane wants a boy, of course. So does his Dad. He'll call all the time, “So, how's my grandson doing?” Lol. I get emails from Mom, “Want me to knit some booties? What color do you want? Yellow? Green? Pink and Blue together to play it safe?” Lol.

I'm actually on time... with the blog post anyways
Hey again. Welcome, again, to my usual work morning ritual... Where ranting is a pleasure. On todays agenda we've got no trucks, two employees, heavy rain, and one hell of a long night in store for me. Weekends at this place are the worst unlike retail, where weekends are the busy days. I can see this weekend, or at least today, going bad for me. I woke up at 1:45 only to find that when Shane set my alarm for 12:30 he apparently forgot the importance of the AM and PM part of time. It's there for a reason... I'm starting to think that the world would do better in army time. It may take a while for people with learning disabilities to catch on, but that's probably why most of them don't work anyways. And with time being their issue the only thing they'd have to worry about missing is their daily episode of Reading Rainbow. But I'm sure PBS wouldn't mind giving a double showing for the special ones... one in the morning, and one in the evening... just in case ;) You can call me cruel, I'll only disagree.
So here I am, lonely me, in the Guard House at 0241 with nothing to do but rant my heart out with what little vocabulary I have left... moving to South Carolina really takes it from you. You can think Larry the Cable Guy and Jeff Foxworthy define redneck all you want... just wait til you meet some of the people out here. You will learn the true meaning of “ghetto-rig” as you follow the head of the last person who yelled “Holy Shit!” It gets interesting. In the south Duct tape is a necessity and the brain is only there due to genetics... I'm still waiting for rednecks to evolve into a new brainless species.
Excuse me while I go heat up some more “Farm Rich Mini Quesadilla Slices.” I'm in the process of redefining “midnight snack.” Why do they have to make the title so elaborate? And why sell a bag of 10-12 MINI slices for 6 bucks?! Any why say on the package 10-12 slices? Why not just make it the same in every bag? Idk about you, but If I'm paying 12 bucks for two of these things, and one bag has 10 and the other 12, I'm going to back for a refund and a game of Deal or No Deal in the frozen foods section. Oh, and to the genius behind the spork... while you were busy mutating America's fork, you could have at least gone a step ahead and added a few rivets to the side for it to be used as a knife as well. It would make my 2am Mini Quesadilla eating a bit more enjoyable.
0311. I'm at the bottom of my Mt Dew and I've eaten 5 mini quesadilla slices total this morning with one remaining at my side on my napkin/plate. Last year at this time I could have eaten the entire bag and still have room, now... it's more like, take a few bites of one and feel full, but it's yummy so let's shove down four more... I'm slowly finishing number six over here... no thanks to my spork which I gave up on 20 minutes ago.
0324. Still sitting here, with my head in my hands trying to come up with another rant to entertain you only to realize I've gone temporarily brain dead. Looking around the room at things to criticize. Altec Lansing, Hard Drive, Pager... aren't those just a little bit out of date? Touch lamp, phones, CB radio, scrap paper, 401K meeting next month... sounds fun. Is someone bringing donuts? Newspaper... there might be something interesting in there. Lol, a headline saying “Suspect shoots girlfriend, self.” Uhm, what does that mean? He shot his girlfriend himself, he shot her AND himself. No idea. “Crime in the County.” Now THAT'S a big surprise. If you randomly get the urge to want to shoot someone, hold up a store, break into a car, or even rob a bank you aren't going to be like, “hmm, what county do you want to do it in? This one has a low crime rate, so let's go to the next one over...” Yeah.. no. Haha, okay. True statement... The title of this section, “Ask a Doc.” The question, “One of my knees has a stabbing pain on twisting it. Is this normal?” *blank stare* Is the PAIN normal, yes. My advice... stop twisting it. Wow, just wow. Next headline. “Unique Hell Hole project will mix fun and work” ...and we wonder why the world is the way it is. Just a little taste of the South.
0353. Almost two hours have gone by, and I've still got six more to go... It's hasn't really been all that bad this morning. I'm not killing myself to stay awake, but then again I did manage to down 6 quesadilla slices despite my stomaches wishes. And here comes the rain. It's picking up bad... there's a thunderstorm warning.. duh. There's also a tornado warning til 6am. They said the thunderstorm warning was only until 3am... good job guys. But it's 0400 now and its worse than it was. Don't you just love the weather forecasts? They tell you the weather an hour before it happens (and even then it's not right), and if you think about it... it's already happening, it just hasn't hit your area yet. So they make themselves sound smart by giving the forecast to the people who are in the path of the storm.. isn't a forecast supposed to tell you what the weather will be a decent time in advance? All you got to do is call the person to the West of you... “hey Grandma, is it raining over there?” “nope.” Then call the person to the East of you, “hey Ma, how's the weather?” “pouring, it's heading you're way” “Thanks!” then call Grandma back... “hey Grams, got some rain heading your way.” “Is that so, Thanks Honey”... a couple hours later the weatherman makes his brilliant statement... “Rain heading towards Berkely county this afternoon...” Good job weatherman, Good job. He'd have better luck with his career doing stand up comedy in the ER. At least then he'd get money for suing the people who threw things at him for his inappropriate timing. It might even help the patients too. I mean, if you're home and throw something at the weatherman when you get frustrated all you get is a bill for a new TV. If you do it in the ER, the bill is accompanied with the joy of knowing he finally got what he deserved, so it's not all that bad. Kinda like the people who figure life in jail is worth assassinating Obama. I'm not putting in my opinion here, it's just a statement.
0418. Still sitting, still waiting, still nothing going on. The rain has let up a bit and I hear the wind howling... it's kinda creepy if you think about it. I was just reading an article in that paper about a journalist who stayed the night alone in a house that is presumably haunted on the night of Halloween. The Wampee House. According to the paper it's been said that objects were being moved or just missing entirely only to be found later at a completely different location. They say that there's an Indian Maiden who died following her husband into battle. Apparently she's been seen standing on the front steps of the house, welcoming all who “dare to come in.” They say there's also a child in a blue dress who's been seen standing in the upstairs bedroom looking out the window. As well as a pirate that wondered away from his ship in Stony Landing. Lights appear in windows, stuff like that. It's interesting. The journalist said he didn't see anything, didn't feel anything, but it was also said that he has had some experiences before, although he never mentioned what they were.
I know a few people who've said they've seen things like this, and it's creepy, bc they will be telling me about it, and someone else will walk in and join in the conversation and start describing the same thing that the other person saw. Neither of them mentioning to anyone before that they've seen what they did. It just amazes me how the possibility of something this paranormal being real... is, you know, a good possibility. When you hear two people you know, love, and trust telling stories back and forth to each other about the same child in a doorway, or the shadow of a man, the perfume of a woman, a baby crawling down a hallway... none of which you yourself has experienced, but you remember very clearly the extreme sense of paranoia you had while in that same house. You can't help but think about it. You can't help but question it. I've never been one to believe in anything like that, but after you hear the stories and remember how you felt... you kinda have to. What I just mentioned about the family in the house, was actually being told to me by my Mom and my brothers about the house we moved out of a year ago this month. And I remember feeling like a stupid little kid when I'd want to go to my bedroom down the hallway, but first I'd have to turn on a series of lights and go back and turn them off one by one as I made my way back there. And then once I was back there I'd put my back to the door or lay down on my bed and just look around. There are times I'd be sleeping and I'd just wake up and roll on my back and look around the room to see who was there. I always felt that there was something there. I hated it. I felt like a stupid little kid who was afraid of the dark. I don't mind telling the story now as I see the reasoning behind it. I was actually asked by Mom if I ever heard the toilet seat slamming down in the middle of the night... which at first I said no. But a few days later I was thinking about it and I remember nights when I would lay in bed and I'd hear the toilet seat slam. The bathroom was right across from my bedroom but I always slept facing the wall, not the door. And I remember listening for the boys footsteps, bc usually it was them getting up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom, but there were nights I never heard anything. I always thought it was just bc I dosed off and woke back up, maybe not. Apparently the janitor told Mom about this soon after we moved in. He told her it's been hard finding someone to stay in this house bc people say it's haunted and they leave. We were there for 15 years. It really does make you wonder tho.
0447. I think I'm gunna try my luck at some Spider Solitaire... 0526. Okay, so the luck part didn't turn out so well. No big deal. I'm sitting here listening to Akon right now. His Konvicted album. I've heard random songs from him, but never sat and listened to his entire album. And really, it's good. For one, you can understand what he's saying. And a lot of what he sings you can tell, or it seems, it's from personal experiences. So it's not just a bunch of jumbled words, theres a clear story in his songs that, I'm sure, many can relate to. So far there's none I can relate to, but I still like the music. He's got a nice sound to his music. I think my favorite so far in this album is “Sorry, blame it on me.” It's a song, but instead of getting caught up in the song itself and the music I was paying attention to the story in it. I like songs that grab your attention like that. (Tired of Runnin' is good too.)
0532 Drinking Dr Pepper... An Authentic Blend of 23 Flavors... What ARE the 23 flavors in Dr Pepper? I'm sure someone online has posted it somewhere. But I don't have internet right now... which is why my broke ass is typing this up in Open Office instead of Microsoft Word. Lol. I've actually got the Microsoft Office Enterprise Edition, but it won't install on this version of Vista... at least I think that's the situation. This one is running Vista Home Premium. It did install on my other laptop that's running Vista Ultimate. So that's why I think its the version of Windows that limiting it. I keep getting some sort of 1935 error. And the only information I can find online about it with my exact information is on German websites... go figure. That's my luck for ya.
Blah, well, we seem to be doing good on cash this month so maybe I can actually get a birthday gift from my brothers... It will be a little bit late, but you know how it is. I've got to mail off my car payment too actually. I forgot about that... O well. It's not due til the 21st, I've got time :)
Yesterday after Shane got home from work we were sitting on the couch looking at some pictures online and we heard someone yelling. Shane got up and opened the door. He saw Russel out there with a fishing pole and something on the end of it bending the hell out of that pole. Shane threw his shoes on and ran out the door. I followed... just a bit more slowly. Lol. Turns out Russel caught a catfish that was 10-12 pounds. We've been out there fishing for a month and have caught nothing but eels and brim. So a catfish was nice to see again. He bit Russel... but if you snagged me with a hook and willingly put your finger in my mouth I'd bite too. None the less, there was a lot of meat on that fish. He was cut and fillet on the spot. Afterwards we threw him back in the water, guts still in tact, just no skin and no meat, so he was a live fish, but he wasn't a happy fish. So I guess the turtles had a nice snack that night. So now Russel is trying that again. Leaving cut bait on the poles and leaving them in the lake over night and just checking them in the morning before he heads to work with Shane. I guess I'll find out how well it worked once I get home. We're gunna have another fish cookout next week sometime. So more fish would definitely be nice. Last time we had one, we caught two cat fish and a bass. And these were really nice sized fish. So we had Me, Russel, Shane, Sheldon, Eugine and ...I wanna say his name was Larry... it fed all of us and we still had plenty more left over. So we saved that for a second cook out we had the following week. Lol. It was a nice one. And free too.
0605... four more hours to go. Damn it... I could've worn demin today instead of these uncomfortable pants... damn it. Ugh... that's one good thing about working the weekend... jeans. Man, on the weekends we have this Guard House Cleaning Schedule book thing. And it says clean phones, dust window sills, counters and dest. What the hell is Dest? The only thing I can think of is Desk... and it wouldn't surprise me. The supervisor security guard lady here is commonly doing stuff like that, and I know she's the one who put this schedule together. But Dest? Lol, Idk. But wouldn't counters include the desktop? Who knows. Like I said... living here really takes away your vocab. And this chair Sucks!!! I wish it would lean back and not forward. It makes me constantly feel like I want to fall out. I hate it. So I have to lower the chair entirely and sit my hot laptop in my lap... when I'm already hot... bc the desk is too high with the chair this low. Geez.
0618. I'm surprised none of the guys have came out here to bug me yet. It's getting close to seven. Usually when it gets close to seven they will come out here and talk for some conversation to make the last hour go by faster. I'm getting tired... I wanna go home. I don't wanna wait another four hours til I can go home... not fair!
0631. Well two more guys just came in to relieve the two that are already here... I'm sure they're glad to see relief. But knowing that they still have 30 minutes left is killing them I'm sure. They work 12 hour shifts... they can have fun with that one... I'm good with my eight hour shifts.
0655. Called Shane, he's up on time... must be nice. Blah. Almost 0700 which means three hours left of work. Woo! The guys are leaving in five minutes, so they're happy right about now. Gr... I'm just sitting here watching the clock and it sucks.. it's creeping by, but it's always like that when you're watching the clock. Part of the reason I called Shane. It killed ten minutes for me. Awesome. That's ten minutes I don't have to worry about now. And I'm surprised I've been typing the whole morning with the exception of the few minutes I was gone for Spider Solitaire. Oh man, I forgot to bring my Rubik's cube. Dang it. I wanted to play with it. I can do them, I just need to work on re-memorizing the Algorithms. I know all but two of them. I forgot... Shame on me. Wah.
0701. I'm waiting for the door to slam and the lockers to clank. It's about that time... well it is that time, but they need to make their way out here first. Lol. I hear one of them... and there was the door... and here's the locker. They're outta here. I'm good. That was perfect timing too. Lol. The guy ran his truck through the car wash thing before he left. That's funny. I'm sure the rain cleaned it off for ya already. Haha. You ever see the sand flying across the shore of a beach on a windy hurricane day? Looks like a sort of fog drifting over the ground... well that's what the rain looked like over the roads this morning. A drifting fog. Ever see a picture of a waterfall taken with a slow shutter speed? The falling water almost looks cloudy and glowing... yeah. That was the rain I was driving through. I tried using my high beams. FAIL. I was definitely better off without those. All it did was reflect off all the rain. I'm so glad that reflectors were invented. They were the only reason I was able to make it successfully to work this morning. Lol.
Wow, it actually looks really pretty out right now. I just looked up and you've got the random tall trees coming out from behind the lower ones. The combination of the greens, browns, oranges and yellows in the leaves are so gorgeous. The tallest trees are brown and orange and swaying in the wind while the bottom ones are green and you see a few yellow leaves and even some small yellow flowers on a few of the bushes. The clouds behind them with a slight orangey-pink tint layered on top of the white clouds that are higher up and slowly moving with the wind. You can see the perfectly colored light blue sky showing behind them with the occasional bird flying across the sky. The road in front of the trees is littered with the colored leaves... God I wish I had my camera. It's like a scene in a movie. A nice park in a wealthy area that's kept up and filled with parents playing with their kids and the dogs playing catch with their owners. A couple sneaking a kiss on a park bench... teens roller blading by. Yeah, it's one of those kinda scenes.
0721. I'm gunna dust this place now... bc I've only got two and a half hours left... Sorry to interrupt the mood like that, but you know how it is. 0743. Finished.
Two hours and fifteen minutes to go. You know what I want? A crème soda... I heart crème soda. Yum. Maybe I can get Shane to go shopping for groceries with me today... but I wanna go to walmart so I can get a crème soda while I shop, but I'm sure that won't happen considering it's a Saturday and Shane hates walmart in general, let alone on a Saturday. So yeah, there goes that idea. Hm, there has got to be some where we can go for groceries that has a cold crème soda waiting for me... this is sad isn't it? Lol. I CAN'T HELP IT! I'd take a rootbeer from the vending machine... but it's diet. And I don't mind diet drinks except when it's my favorite drink. Rootbeer and crème soda.. yeah. No diet drink. Thank you!
0753. It's getting closer to 10! I'm waiting...
0754. Still waiting... for Akon to turn off. Enough is enough! I've heard you all morning long!
0755. I need a drink. Orange juice?
0756. Yup. Orange juice...
0759. Nope. Orange Pineapple juice. Does that mean its Pineapple juice that's died Orange, or that it's Orange juice AND pineapple juice. Either way it wouldn't be false advertising... just misleading advertising. Lol.
0800. Welch's since 1869. Is that the expiration date?...
0801. Refrigerate after opening... what if I'm still drinking it? Do I have to keep taking it in and out? Doesn't that waste money?
0802. Well, it's made in the USA. That explains why it's so complicated...
0803. Gum Acacia, Ester Gum... there's a lot of Gum in this drink. I hope at least it's not used Gum. Can you image what used Gum from 1869 would look like?
0804. Absorbic Acid (Vitamin C)... Acid is good for you? That's a new one.
0805. Serving size: 1 Bottle... yeah, limiting Acid intake might be a good idea.
0806. hmm. Since 1869, but the copy write date is 2006. How's that work?
0807. Best by January 4 2009. I should wait that long to drink it? That's lame. It already took them over a thousand years to make it... now I have to wait another two months. That sucks.
0808. Contains 10% juice????
0809. Wondering what the rest of it is...
0810. 100% Vitamin C... but you just said it was 10% Juice. So there's 110% drink?
0811. Pasteurized... does that mean my preacher approves it?
0812. Why doesn't the acid eat through the bottle?
0813. How do you store acid?
0814. 18:44. The juice uses Army time... does that make my drink a military experiment?
0815. Beta Carotene (color)... O.o There's experimental coloring in my drink?!
0814. Comments or Questions... uhm, YES!
Lol. Who wants to call? 1-800-340-6870. Wednesdays 9am-4pm ET. Let me know how it goes... this would be a good one for one of Shane's buddies. They like this sort of thing. Maybe I'll give em the idea. And Raye, one word. Breathe.
0837. Yeah, so some time has certainly passed. I've been sitting here rereading this blog and after that I was just sitting here starring at the screen waiting for something to jump out and say Rant About Me!!! Oops. I guess they didn't know I was looking for them. Maybe next time I'll send out a memo setting a date and time for a Rants game of hide and seek. Come to think about it... it still may not help much considering I'd still have to find them... at least I'd know they're all in the same area. Lol.
I wonder if this place used to be a school... or a park. Random thought, sorry. I just see a little building kinda thing over there and it looks like one of the buildings that usually have benches in for the baseball players to sit in while they're waiting to bat. Idk. I could be way off, but who knows. Lol.
Ooo. Po-po driving by again. I wonder if they despise being called Po-po. I can understand not wanting to be called a pig. Lol. Actually, I was looking on a friends Myspace page the other day and he had a picture up of a cop car he passed. The officers name on the side of the car was Bacon. Lol. The Pig's name is Bacon. Nice job Dan!
0847... I wanna go home!!! One hour and fifteen minutes left. Sigh.
0848... Time for a banana popcicle.
0849... It's yummy.
0850... I Hate Everything About You!
0851... Relax. It's just a song. Geez.
0852... You Hate Everything About Me!
0853... Well that's not very nice. I was only joking.
0854... I Could Be Mean, I Could Be Angry. I Could Be Just Like You.
0855... I Could Be Fake, I Could Be Stupid. I Could Be Just Like You.
0856... I Could Be Cold, I Could Be Ruthless. I Could Be Just Like You.
0857... I Could Be Weak, I Could Be Senseless. I Could Be Just Like You.
0858....I Know, I Know, I Know That You're Wounded.
0859... I Know, I Know, I Know That You'll Thank Me Later... even tho I'm trying to be mean... hehe.
0900... I'm getting off now before Boss Lady gets in. See ya guys!
So here I am, lonely me, in the Guard House at 0241 with nothing to do but rant my heart out with what little vocabulary I have left... moving to South Carolina really takes it from you. You can think Larry the Cable Guy and Jeff Foxworthy define redneck all you want... just wait til you meet some of the people out here. You will learn the true meaning of “ghetto-rig” as you follow the head of the last person who yelled “Holy Shit!” It gets interesting. In the south Duct tape is a necessity and the brain is only there due to genetics... I'm still waiting for rednecks to evolve into a new brainless species.
Excuse me while I go heat up some more “Farm Rich Mini Quesadilla Slices.” I'm in the process of redefining “midnight snack.” Why do they have to make the title so elaborate? And why sell a bag of 10-12 MINI slices for 6 bucks?! Any why say on the package 10-12 slices? Why not just make it the same in every bag? Idk about you, but If I'm paying 12 bucks for two of these things, and one bag has 10 and the other 12, I'm going to back for a refund and a game of Deal or No Deal in the frozen foods section. Oh, and to the genius behind the spork... while you were busy mutating America's fork, you could have at least gone a step ahead and added a few rivets to the side for it to be used as a knife as well. It would make my 2am Mini Quesadilla eating a bit more enjoyable.
0311. I'm at the bottom of my Mt Dew and I've eaten 5 mini quesadilla slices total this morning with one remaining at my side on my napkin/plate. Last year at this time I could have eaten the entire bag and still have room, now... it's more like, take a few bites of one and feel full, but it's yummy so let's shove down four more... I'm slowly finishing number six over here... no thanks to my spork which I gave up on 20 minutes ago.
0324. Still sitting here, with my head in my hands trying to come up with another rant to entertain you only to realize I've gone temporarily brain dead. Looking around the room at things to criticize. Altec Lansing, Hard Drive, Pager... aren't those just a little bit out of date? Touch lamp, phones, CB radio, scrap paper, 401K meeting next month... sounds fun. Is someone bringing donuts? Newspaper... there might be something interesting in there. Lol, a headline saying “Suspect shoots girlfriend, self.” Uhm, what does that mean? He shot his girlfriend himself, he shot her AND himself. No idea. “Crime in the County.” Now THAT'S a big surprise. If you randomly get the urge to want to shoot someone, hold up a store, break into a car, or even rob a bank you aren't going to be like, “hmm, what county do you want to do it in? This one has a low crime rate, so let's go to the next one over...” Yeah.. no. Haha, okay. True statement... The title of this section, “Ask a Doc.” The question, “One of my knees has a stabbing pain on twisting it. Is this normal?” *blank stare* Is the PAIN normal, yes. My advice... stop twisting it. Wow, just wow. Next headline. “Unique Hell Hole project will mix fun and work” ...and we wonder why the world is the way it is. Just a little taste of the South.
0353. Almost two hours have gone by, and I've still got six more to go... It's hasn't really been all that bad this morning. I'm not killing myself to stay awake, but then again I did manage to down 6 quesadilla slices despite my stomaches wishes. And here comes the rain. It's picking up bad... there's a thunderstorm warning.. duh. There's also a tornado warning til 6am. They said the thunderstorm warning was only until 3am... good job guys. But it's 0400 now and its worse than it was. Don't you just love the weather forecasts? They tell you the weather an hour before it happens (and even then it's not right), and if you think about it... it's already happening, it just hasn't hit your area yet. So they make themselves sound smart by giving the forecast to the people who are in the path of the storm.. isn't a forecast supposed to tell you what the weather will be a decent time in advance? All you got to do is call the person to the West of you... “hey Grandma, is it raining over there?” “nope.” Then call the person to the East of you, “hey Ma, how's the weather?” “pouring, it's heading you're way” “Thanks!” then call Grandma back... “hey Grams, got some rain heading your way.” “Is that so, Thanks Honey”... a couple hours later the weatherman makes his brilliant statement... “Rain heading towards Berkely county this afternoon...” Good job weatherman, Good job. He'd have better luck with his career doing stand up comedy in the ER. At least then he'd get money for suing the people who threw things at him for his inappropriate timing. It might even help the patients too. I mean, if you're home and throw something at the weatherman when you get frustrated all you get is a bill for a new TV. If you do it in the ER, the bill is accompanied with the joy of knowing he finally got what he deserved, so it's not all that bad. Kinda like the people who figure life in jail is worth assassinating Obama. I'm not putting in my opinion here, it's just a statement.
0418. Still sitting, still waiting, still nothing going on. The rain has let up a bit and I hear the wind howling... it's kinda creepy if you think about it. I was just reading an article in that paper about a journalist who stayed the night alone in a house that is presumably haunted on the night of Halloween. The Wampee House. According to the paper it's been said that objects were being moved or just missing entirely only to be found later at a completely different location. They say that there's an Indian Maiden who died following her husband into battle. Apparently she's been seen standing on the front steps of the house, welcoming all who “dare to come in.” They say there's also a child in a blue dress who's been seen standing in the upstairs bedroom looking out the window. As well as a pirate that wondered away from his ship in Stony Landing. Lights appear in windows, stuff like that. It's interesting. The journalist said he didn't see anything, didn't feel anything, but it was also said that he has had some experiences before, although he never mentioned what they were.
I know a few people who've said they've seen things like this, and it's creepy, bc they will be telling me about it, and someone else will walk in and join in the conversation and start describing the same thing that the other person saw. Neither of them mentioning to anyone before that they've seen what they did. It just amazes me how the possibility of something this paranormal being real... is, you know, a good possibility. When you hear two people you know, love, and trust telling stories back and forth to each other about the same child in a doorway, or the shadow of a man, the perfume of a woman, a baby crawling down a hallway... none of which you yourself has experienced, but you remember very clearly the extreme sense of paranoia you had while in that same house. You can't help but think about it. You can't help but question it. I've never been one to believe in anything like that, but after you hear the stories and remember how you felt... you kinda have to. What I just mentioned about the family in the house, was actually being told to me by my Mom and my brothers about the house we moved out of a year ago this month. And I remember feeling like a stupid little kid when I'd want to go to my bedroom down the hallway, but first I'd have to turn on a series of lights and go back and turn them off one by one as I made my way back there. And then once I was back there I'd put my back to the door or lay down on my bed and just look around. There are times I'd be sleeping and I'd just wake up and roll on my back and look around the room to see who was there. I always felt that there was something there. I hated it. I felt like a stupid little kid who was afraid of the dark. I don't mind telling the story now as I see the reasoning behind it. I was actually asked by Mom if I ever heard the toilet seat slamming down in the middle of the night... which at first I said no. But a few days later I was thinking about it and I remember nights when I would lay in bed and I'd hear the toilet seat slam. The bathroom was right across from my bedroom but I always slept facing the wall, not the door. And I remember listening for the boys footsteps, bc usually it was them getting up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom, but there were nights I never heard anything. I always thought it was just bc I dosed off and woke back up, maybe not. Apparently the janitor told Mom about this soon after we moved in. He told her it's been hard finding someone to stay in this house bc people say it's haunted and they leave. We were there for 15 years. It really does make you wonder tho.
0447. I think I'm gunna try my luck at some Spider Solitaire... 0526. Okay, so the luck part didn't turn out so well. No big deal. I'm sitting here listening to Akon right now. His Konvicted album. I've heard random songs from him, but never sat and listened to his entire album. And really, it's good. For one, you can understand what he's saying. And a lot of what he sings you can tell, or it seems, it's from personal experiences. So it's not just a bunch of jumbled words, theres a clear story in his songs that, I'm sure, many can relate to. So far there's none I can relate to, but I still like the music. He's got a nice sound to his music. I think my favorite so far in this album is “Sorry, blame it on me.” It's a song, but instead of getting caught up in the song itself and the music I was paying attention to the story in it. I like songs that grab your attention like that. (Tired of Runnin' is good too.)
0532 Drinking Dr Pepper... An Authentic Blend of 23 Flavors... What ARE the 23 flavors in Dr Pepper? I'm sure someone online has posted it somewhere. But I don't have internet right now... which is why my broke ass is typing this up in Open Office instead of Microsoft Word. Lol. I've actually got the Microsoft Office Enterprise Edition, but it won't install on this version of Vista... at least I think that's the situation. This one is running Vista Home Premium. It did install on my other laptop that's running Vista Ultimate. So that's why I think its the version of Windows that limiting it. I keep getting some sort of 1935 error. And the only information I can find online about it with my exact information is on German websites... go figure. That's my luck for ya.
Blah, well, we seem to be doing good on cash this month so maybe I can actually get a birthday gift from my brothers... It will be a little bit late, but you know how it is. I've got to mail off my car payment too actually. I forgot about that... O well. It's not due til the 21st, I've got time :)
Yesterday after Shane got home from work we were sitting on the couch looking at some pictures online and we heard someone yelling. Shane got up and opened the door. He saw Russel out there with a fishing pole and something on the end of it bending the hell out of that pole. Shane threw his shoes on and ran out the door. I followed... just a bit more slowly. Lol. Turns out Russel caught a catfish that was 10-12 pounds. We've been out there fishing for a month and have caught nothing but eels and brim. So a catfish was nice to see again. He bit Russel... but if you snagged me with a hook and willingly put your finger in my mouth I'd bite too. None the less, there was a lot of meat on that fish. He was cut and fillet on the spot. Afterwards we threw him back in the water, guts still in tact, just no skin and no meat, so he was a live fish, but he wasn't a happy fish. So I guess the turtles had a nice snack that night. So now Russel is trying that again. Leaving cut bait on the poles and leaving them in the lake over night and just checking them in the morning before he heads to work with Shane. I guess I'll find out how well it worked once I get home. We're gunna have another fish cookout next week sometime. So more fish would definitely be nice. Last time we had one, we caught two cat fish and a bass. And these were really nice sized fish. So we had Me, Russel, Shane, Sheldon, Eugine and ...I wanna say his name was Larry... it fed all of us and we still had plenty more left over. So we saved that for a second cook out we had the following week. Lol. It was a nice one. And free too.
0605... four more hours to go. Damn it... I could've worn demin today instead of these uncomfortable pants... damn it. Ugh... that's one good thing about working the weekend... jeans. Man, on the weekends we have this Guard House Cleaning Schedule book thing. And it says clean phones, dust window sills, counters and dest. What the hell is Dest? The only thing I can think of is Desk... and it wouldn't surprise me. The supervisor security guard lady here is commonly doing stuff like that, and I know she's the one who put this schedule together. But Dest? Lol, Idk. But wouldn't counters include the desktop? Who knows. Like I said... living here really takes away your vocab. And this chair Sucks!!! I wish it would lean back and not forward. It makes me constantly feel like I want to fall out. I hate it. So I have to lower the chair entirely and sit my hot laptop in my lap... when I'm already hot... bc the desk is too high with the chair this low. Geez.
0618. I'm surprised none of the guys have came out here to bug me yet. It's getting close to seven. Usually when it gets close to seven they will come out here and talk for some conversation to make the last hour go by faster. I'm getting tired... I wanna go home. I don't wanna wait another four hours til I can go home... not fair!
0631. Well two more guys just came in to relieve the two that are already here... I'm sure they're glad to see relief. But knowing that they still have 30 minutes left is killing them I'm sure. They work 12 hour shifts... they can have fun with that one... I'm good with my eight hour shifts.
0655. Called Shane, he's up on time... must be nice. Blah. Almost 0700 which means three hours left of work. Woo! The guys are leaving in five minutes, so they're happy right about now. Gr... I'm just sitting here watching the clock and it sucks.. it's creeping by, but it's always like that when you're watching the clock. Part of the reason I called Shane. It killed ten minutes for me. Awesome. That's ten minutes I don't have to worry about now. And I'm surprised I've been typing the whole morning with the exception of the few minutes I was gone for Spider Solitaire. Oh man, I forgot to bring my Rubik's cube. Dang it. I wanted to play with it. I can do them, I just need to work on re-memorizing the Algorithms. I know all but two of them. I forgot... Shame on me. Wah.
0701. I'm waiting for the door to slam and the lockers to clank. It's about that time... well it is that time, but they need to make their way out here first. Lol. I hear one of them... and there was the door... and here's the locker. They're outta here. I'm good. That was perfect timing too. Lol. The guy ran his truck through the car wash thing before he left. That's funny. I'm sure the rain cleaned it off for ya already. Haha. You ever see the sand flying across the shore of a beach on a windy hurricane day? Looks like a sort of fog drifting over the ground... well that's what the rain looked like over the roads this morning. A drifting fog. Ever see a picture of a waterfall taken with a slow shutter speed? The falling water almost looks cloudy and glowing... yeah. That was the rain I was driving through. I tried using my high beams. FAIL. I was definitely better off without those. All it did was reflect off all the rain. I'm so glad that reflectors were invented. They were the only reason I was able to make it successfully to work this morning. Lol.
Wow, it actually looks really pretty out right now. I just looked up and you've got the random tall trees coming out from behind the lower ones. The combination of the greens, browns, oranges and yellows in the leaves are so gorgeous. The tallest trees are brown and orange and swaying in the wind while the bottom ones are green and you see a few yellow leaves and even some small yellow flowers on a few of the bushes. The clouds behind them with a slight orangey-pink tint layered on top of the white clouds that are higher up and slowly moving with the wind. You can see the perfectly colored light blue sky showing behind them with the occasional bird flying across the sky. The road in front of the trees is littered with the colored leaves... God I wish I had my camera. It's like a scene in a movie. A nice park in a wealthy area that's kept up and filled with parents playing with their kids and the dogs playing catch with their owners. A couple sneaking a kiss on a park bench... teens roller blading by. Yeah, it's one of those kinda scenes.
0721. I'm gunna dust this place now... bc I've only got two and a half hours left... Sorry to interrupt the mood like that, but you know how it is. 0743. Finished.
Two hours and fifteen minutes to go. You know what I want? A crème soda... I heart crème soda. Yum. Maybe I can get Shane to go shopping for groceries with me today... but I wanna go to walmart so I can get a crème soda while I shop, but I'm sure that won't happen considering it's a Saturday and Shane hates walmart in general, let alone on a Saturday. So yeah, there goes that idea. Hm, there has got to be some where we can go for groceries that has a cold crème soda waiting for me... this is sad isn't it? Lol. I CAN'T HELP IT! I'd take a rootbeer from the vending machine... but it's diet. And I don't mind diet drinks except when it's my favorite drink. Rootbeer and crème soda.. yeah. No diet drink. Thank you!
0753. It's getting closer to 10! I'm waiting...
0754. Still waiting... for Akon to turn off. Enough is enough! I've heard you all morning long!
0755. I need a drink. Orange juice?
0756. Yup. Orange juice...
0759. Nope. Orange Pineapple juice. Does that mean its Pineapple juice that's died Orange, or that it's Orange juice AND pineapple juice. Either way it wouldn't be false advertising... just misleading advertising. Lol.
0800. Welch's since 1869. Is that the expiration date?...
0801. Refrigerate after opening... what if I'm still drinking it? Do I have to keep taking it in and out? Doesn't that waste money?
0802. Well, it's made in the USA. That explains why it's so complicated...
0803. Gum Acacia, Ester Gum... there's a lot of Gum in this drink. I hope at least it's not used Gum. Can you image what used Gum from 1869 would look like?
0804. Absorbic Acid (Vitamin C)... Acid is good for you? That's a new one.
0805. Serving size: 1 Bottle... yeah, limiting Acid intake might be a good idea.
0806. hmm. Since 1869, but the copy write date is 2006. How's that work?
0807. Best by January 4 2009. I should wait that long to drink it? That's lame. It already took them over a thousand years to make it... now I have to wait another two months. That sucks.
0808. Contains 10% juice????
0809. Wondering what the rest of it is...
0810. 100% Vitamin C... but you just said it was 10% Juice. So there's 110% drink?
0811. Pasteurized... does that mean my preacher approves it?
0812. Why doesn't the acid eat through the bottle?
0813. How do you store acid?
0814. 18:44. The juice uses Army time... does that make my drink a military experiment?
0815. Beta Carotene (color)... O.o There's experimental coloring in my drink?!
0814. Comments or Questions... uhm, YES!
Lol. Who wants to call? 1-800-340-6870. Wednesdays 9am-4pm ET. Let me know how it goes... this would be a good one for one of Shane's buddies. They like this sort of thing. Maybe I'll give em the idea. And Raye, one word. Breathe.
0837. Yeah, so some time has certainly passed. I've been sitting here rereading this blog and after that I was just sitting here starring at the screen waiting for something to jump out and say Rant About Me!!! Oops. I guess they didn't know I was looking for them. Maybe next time I'll send out a memo setting a date and time for a Rants game of hide and seek. Come to think about it... it still may not help much considering I'd still have to find them... at least I'd know they're all in the same area. Lol.
I wonder if this place used to be a school... or a park. Random thought, sorry. I just see a little building kinda thing over there and it looks like one of the buildings that usually have benches in for the baseball players to sit in while they're waiting to bat. Idk. I could be way off, but who knows. Lol.
Ooo. Po-po driving by again. I wonder if they despise being called Po-po. I can understand not wanting to be called a pig. Lol. Actually, I was looking on a friends Myspace page the other day and he had a picture up of a cop car he passed. The officers name on the side of the car was Bacon. Lol. The Pig's name is Bacon. Nice job Dan!
0847... I wanna go home!!! One hour and fifteen minutes left. Sigh.
0848... Time for a banana popcicle.
0849... It's yummy.
0850... I Hate Everything About You!
0851... Relax. It's just a song. Geez.
0852... You Hate Everything About Me!
0853... Well that's not very nice. I was only joking.
0854... I Could Be Mean, I Could Be Angry. I Could Be Just Like You.
0855... I Could Be Fake, I Could Be Stupid. I Could Be Just Like You.
0856... I Could Be Cold, I Could Be Ruthless. I Could Be Just Like You.
0857... I Could Be Weak, I Could Be Senseless. I Could Be Just Like You.
0858....I Know, I Know, I Know That You're Wounded.
0859... I Know, I Know, I Know That You'll Thank Me Later... even tho I'm trying to be mean... hehe.
0900... I'm getting off now before Boss Lady gets in. See ya guys!
Saturday, November 8, 2008
Another day at work
Well it's another day at work right now. 0256 and I'm listening to my music and playing Spider Solitaire and... stuff. I don't remember what else.. if there was anything else. I don't have anything exciting to work on right now. It's kind of a bummer actually. I want to Photoshop something or make something in Swish but there are no ideas coming my way so no hope there.
Oh man, this morning was hell. I mean, it wasn't really bad, but it gave me the impression that my whole day was gunna cave in on me. Before I went to bed last night I asked Shane to make some more tea bc there was only a little Kool-aid that was left and I knew with Shane being up and CJ staying over that it would be gone in the morning... which isn't a big deal. I just asked him to make some before he went to sleep. I was drugged and was already slurring my words by that time... sleeping pill. Lol. So when I got up this morning and went to get something to drink I went for a cup and there weren't any. So I had to hunt them up, in the computer room of course. Then I had to wash them, then I went to actually pour a drink.. and there was nothing. Meanwhile my mouth is dry as hell and I'm already irritated. So I make some Kool-aid and after a couple minutes of cup hunting and stirring I finally have a hot drink. Then I went to go get on the laptop. Well, even that couldn't go right. No wireless. Shane had all that unhooked and I had to drop the cord back behind the desk, run it through the little whole in the wall and plug it in to his computer, only to realize that cord was already plugged in. The cord I had went somewhere else. So I had to take it back OUT of the wall, and plug it into the router, and switched cords around trying to figure out what it was... it was a mess. All I wanted to do was check to see if Mom emailed me. That's it. In the end I had to leave in three minutes. By that time it was 0127. So I just packed up the comp and went to give Shane a kiss... well even that couldn't be quick. He yanked me down... didn't mean too, but he was stretching and hugging me at the same time. Then he gave me a kiss... with morning breath. Uck. And then I went to leave and he tugged me BACK down to give me another stinky kiss. Lol. Now on a normal morning I wouldn't mind, but by that point I was pissed all to hell and all I wanted to do was leave. Just slap him hard enough to make me feel better, and leave. But I didn't. I contained myself. Lol. I think I'm starting to feel a little better considering I'm Lol-ing. Haha.
Right now it's 0310 and with it being a Saturday... and not only that, it's a Saturday that the plant is closed down... So there REALLY isn't going to be anything to do. It's bad enough on a normal day, not to mention a weekend. PLUS the plants shut down. I better be prepared... that's all I got to say. And she finally put up the schedule... but not all of it. She stopped on the 26th bc she doesn't know what's going on with Thanksgiving. One thing about this job, is you don't get a holiday off unless your day off just so happens to land on one. So looks like I'm back to two days a week again. I work the 15th and 16th witch is a weekend... yay. And then I work the 23rd and 24th which is a Sunday and Monday. Oh well.
Oh, and Shane changed the oil in my car for me yesterday... and he was only going to put 4 quarts in. He's like, well you only bought a 4 quart container last time. Uhm, no. Lol. It's 5 quarts, and not only that I don't think they even sell a single 4 quart container of oil. I think it's just 5 and 10 quarts... and the single ones, but you know what I mean. So genius was gunna have me drive to Florida while I'm low on oil. Good job. This is why I do my own oil changes... I know it's done right. I guess it's a good thing I'm skeptical of him sometimes. This one had a possibility of ending badly. Lol. Especially with me not having a cell anymore and another condition you guys don't know about yet. Which brings me to another topic... Shane's Mom would not STOP CALLING last night. She knew I was sleeping and had to be at work at 2am... why called 20 times? I'm serious. I can understand being worried about CJ but how many times do you have to call and ask if he's eaten yet? He's YOUR kid and you bring him to my house at 8 o clock and tell me to make sure I feed him? Why didn't you feed him? Lol. Don't get me wrong, I don't mind. It would have been easier if I had leftovers from that nights dinner instead of having to cook him a new one. But you know how it goes. Lol. I just couldn't believe how many times she had to call. Did you eat yet? Don't leave your clothes in Florida! Make sure they drive safe, there's precious cargo aboard! OMFG. Let me SLEEP! And if we didn't answer the phone... she'd just call back. All night long. We ended up unplugging the phone. And not long after that Shane got on some game on the computer and it was blaring. I had to SCREAM his name for him to hear me. And his response... Oh, I didn't know it was that loud... *blank look* You're kidding right? I already closed my door and barricaded it with pillows, hid under the covers and put three pillows on my head... I still heard that damn thing. They could whisper and I could hear them. Of course I could hear that damn game blaring. Ugh... so yeah. Things have just been going great for me. Can't ya tell?
I'm getting irritated thinking about all the shit I've been thru in the past couple hours. Lol. Seven hours of hell. Nice. And the thing is, that Seroquil I took to put me to sleep... yeah, it's still working. So I have to struggle to stay up and entertain myself on this laptop without any internet. I don't HAVE to have internet to be entertained on a computer, but it sure is nice once you run out of things to do on it WITHOUT internet. There's also the small fact that I do this EVERYTIME I work... so the little games get boring after a while. At least I remembered to bring my external today. I think if I didn't have any music going then I'd be fucked in terms of staying awake. I'm not sure if I'm going to drive to Florida or if I'm gunna have Shane do it. Depends on how I feel once I get out of here. Hopefully it won't be too bad.
0333 TEXT!!! It doesn't look like much of a text in army time... which I'm using army time bc that's the time we have to use at work. So I'm kind of accustomed to it now. Okay I'm getting bored. Back to 3 Doors Down and Spider Solitaire...
0538... trying my damnedest to kill this stupid fly. And “damnedest” doesn't really look like a word does it? Too many suffixes on it. I think those are called suffixes. Idk. Lol. Ugh. Four hours and19 minutes until I get to go home. It's slowly getting there. Usually there's some action by now. Not this time... Well, at least 12 hours from now I'll be on the way to Mom's for dinner with Shane's entire family... almost his entire family. Not far from it anyways. We've got Me, Shane, CJ (his Brother), Robert (his Dad), Adair (Step Mom), Avery (His Sister), his Grandma (don't know her name), then of course my Mom, Dad, Steven, Nick and a surprise visit from Jon that only Shane, CJ and I know about I think. Nobody knows about it, but it's not that way on purpose. It just kinda happened that way. We just found out last night.
Anyways, 0553. That's 7 minutes away from me only having 4 hours left! Only... right. OMG I'm so tired of this stupid fly bugging me. I killed one, and then I killed something else that was flying around. It must suck to be a fly. How would you feel if everyone you came in contact with wanted you dead? Maybe I'll start being nicer to flies... OMFG. Never mind. He's dead. You got to think about it too... every way that you usually kill a fly, it isn't really quick and painless. You know they sit there and suffer until they actually die. I'll stick with being a human. I have a life span of more than three days if nothing else. But then again, even that isn't guaranteed. Four hours and thirty two minutes left here...
Oh yeah, lol. The other day when I was in the dentist office waiting to get my cleaning... blah. There was this little girl there with her parents. And I guess she kept figiting and moving or something. And the Mom said the usual mother thing “If you don't stop it I'll pull down your pants and give you a spanking.” The little girl turned around, climbed up into her Mom's lap and said “You can't do that... someone might see my butt.” She couldn't have could more than 9 so she still had that cute almost whiney sound to her voice. I thought it was hilarious.
Hehe, I'm lookin at my nice shiny car sitting in the parking lot all by it's lonesome. There's no one here but Lynnwood and Ricky. So Lynnwoods truck is the only one out there bc they car pool to work. Talk about a whole lot of nothing to do... it's dead. I had one truck all morning and even that one surprised me. That was early this morning tho. He came in at 0430. And I've got three and a half hours left before Jennifer gets here and I leave to haul my ass off to Florida. I think I'm gunna drive. I feel like driving. I need a thrill. I might scare the shit out of CJ, but I need it. Lol. Shane's use to it now so it don't bother him much anymore. I like diving in and out of traffic. Idk how to explain it, but it feels good to me. Idk if it's the skill of handling the car like that, If it's pride found in the holes I can squeeze into, or if it's just the fun in the challenge of it all. The speed, of course, is addicting, but there's more to it than that. You can go fast in a straight line and it can only be so fun. But when it's you and other cars and your flooring it and whizzing past random cars and squeezing into holes by flooring it, then breaking at just the right time, jerk the wheel to the right, cross over three lanes, only to skip three more cars and fly back to the left lane... there's a certain addiction that grabs you while you're doing that. Meanwhile, the passengers in the car are sitting there wide-eyed holding on to the “oh shit bar” with an OMG expression plastered all over their face. They are nothing but alert. It wakes you up, not just them. Haha. I Love it! I'm sure there are people out there that can relate to that one... Jon! Oh, and btw, there was a flaw in the story line up there... Mustangs don't have an “oh shit bar.” So all you can grab on to is the dash or the seat. Lol. The bird is just gunna be shit outta luck bc he ain't got nothin to grab on to. Yes, I'm bringing my bird with me to Florida. Don't ask. I'm bringing one to Florida, but I'm gunna be bringing three back. Lol. So I'm not just going to have Harley anymore, I'm going to have Harley, Flash and Boo. Don't ask. The only one I named was Harley. Lol. Flash isn't a bad name for a bird, but Boo is a little odd. Not that it matters. I'm only gunna call them “bird” anyways. Lol. 0648.
Oh, the guy that came in here this morning. The ONLY truck I had, he was kinda kewl. He was telling me that he's been to 11 countries and it hasn't cost him a dime. And that he's been to every state in the US with the exception of Hawaii, and that's only bc they haven't built a bridge yet. Lol. He was in the military for twenty something years, then he's been a truck driver for 52 years. So between the two he's been a lot of places. Haha, it must bc kinda kewl to have gone to so many places. At least I think so anyways. His name is Billy Hick. Lol. Or Hich, I can't tell with the way he wrote it. But either way it's still pronounced the same, isn't it? Ugh, I need to get some food in my stomach. Hunger pains. Haha. Oooo, do I hear a truck? Nope. Lol. Three hours left. And I'm gunna go clean this place up some. Bbs.
0738 two and a half hours to go... it's getting there. I still can't wait til I can leave. One truck all day just doesn't cut it with me. Lol. We have a little cleaning book thing for the guards on the weekend we're suppose to pick one and do it. I did three of them. Lol. I'm eating a snickers. Hopefully that will cure my hunger pains until I leave. Inside the wrapper it said “Substantialicious (sub-'stan(t)-shul-'li-shus\ (noun) The weight of something when you weigh it with your tongue.” Lol. The thing is... after this I'm gunna want a drink. Ugh. I better take a giant cup with me on the trip to Florida. This whole dehydration thing is annoying. But the top of my snickers bar looks sweet the way the chocolate is all swirly. To be honest with you I don't even want to eat it. But there's nothing else in that machine that I'll eat. And I'm tired of my stomach telling me to eat. So here I am eating a snickers that is actually making me more dehydrated. I just can't win can I? See, that's how those machines get you. They charge you 75¢ for the dry shit, knowing you've got to break a dollar to get it. So then you only have a quarter left. And then when you want to get a drink after your mouth is all dry you've got to break another dollar to get the drink that's 50¢. So then you're left with another 75¢ to spend in the machine from the second dollar you broke. Sneaky. Ever think of that? It's the same concept with the 55¢ drinks. Remember when they all used to be just a quarter? Now the only time you can find that is with the off brand drinks in front of Walmart or Foodlion.
0757 Two hours and three minutes left. Spider Solitaire! Bye.
Oh man, this morning was hell. I mean, it wasn't really bad, but it gave me the impression that my whole day was gunna cave in on me. Before I went to bed last night I asked Shane to make some more tea bc there was only a little Kool-aid that was left and I knew with Shane being up and CJ staying over that it would be gone in the morning... which isn't a big deal. I just asked him to make some before he went to sleep. I was drugged and was already slurring my words by that time... sleeping pill. Lol. So when I got up this morning and went to get something to drink I went for a cup and there weren't any. So I had to hunt them up, in the computer room of course. Then I had to wash them, then I went to actually pour a drink.. and there was nothing. Meanwhile my mouth is dry as hell and I'm already irritated. So I make some Kool-aid and after a couple minutes of cup hunting and stirring I finally have a hot drink. Then I went to go get on the laptop. Well, even that couldn't go right. No wireless. Shane had all that unhooked and I had to drop the cord back behind the desk, run it through the little whole in the wall and plug it in to his computer, only to realize that cord was already plugged in. The cord I had went somewhere else. So I had to take it back OUT of the wall, and plug it into the router, and switched cords around trying to figure out what it was... it was a mess. All I wanted to do was check to see if Mom emailed me. That's it. In the end I had to leave in three minutes. By that time it was 0127. So I just packed up the comp and went to give Shane a kiss... well even that couldn't be quick. He yanked me down... didn't mean too, but he was stretching and hugging me at the same time. Then he gave me a kiss... with morning breath. Uck. And then I went to leave and he tugged me BACK down to give me another stinky kiss. Lol. Now on a normal morning I wouldn't mind, but by that point I was pissed all to hell and all I wanted to do was leave. Just slap him hard enough to make me feel better, and leave. But I didn't. I contained myself. Lol. I think I'm starting to feel a little better considering I'm Lol-ing. Haha.
Right now it's 0310 and with it being a Saturday... and not only that, it's a Saturday that the plant is closed down... So there REALLY isn't going to be anything to do. It's bad enough on a normal day, not to mention a weekend. PLUS the plants shut down. I better be prepared... that's all I got to say. And she finally put up the schedule... but not all of it. She stopped on the 26th bc she doesn't know what's going on with Thanksgiving. One thing about this job, is you don't get a holiday off unless your day off just so happens to land on one. So looks like I'm back to two days a week again. I work the 15th and 16th witch is a weekend... yay. And then I work the 23rd and 24th which is a Sunday and Monday. Oh well.
Oh, and Shane changed the oil in my car for me yesterday... and he was only going to put 4 quarts in. He's like, well you only bought a 4 quart container last time. Uhm, no. Lol. It's 5 quarts, and not only that I don't think they even sell a single 4 quart container of oil. I think it's just 5 and 10 quarts... and the single ones, but you know what I mean. So genius was gunna have me drive to Florida while I'm low on oil. Good job. This is why I do my own oil changes... I know it's done right. I guess it's a good thing I'm skeptical of him sometimes. This one had a possibility of ending badly. Lol. Especially with me not having a cell anymore and another condition you guys don't know about yet. Which brings me to another topic... Shane's Mom would not STOP CALLING last night. She knew I was sleeping and had to be at work at 2am... why called 20 times? I'm serious. I can understand being worried about CJ but how many times do you have to call and ask if he's eaten yet? He's YOUR kid and you bring him to my house at 8 o clock and tell me to make sure I feed him? Why didn't you feed him? Lol. Don't get me wrong, I don't mind. It would have been easier if I had leftovers from that nights dinner instead of having to cook him a new one. But you know how it goes. Lol. I just couldn't believe how many times she had to call. Did you eat yet? Don't leave your clothes in Florida! Make sure they drive safe, there's precious cargo aboard! OMFG. Let me SLEEP! And if we didn't answer the phone... she'd just call back. All night long. We ended up unplugging the phone. And not long after that Shane got on some game on the computer and it was blaring. I had to SCREAM his name for him to hear me. And his response... Oh, I didn't know it was that loud... *blank look* You're kidding right? I already closed my door and barricaded it with pillows, hid under the covers and put three pillows on my head... I still heard that damn thing. They could whisper and I could hear them. Of course I could hear that damn game blaring. Ugh... so yeah. Things have just been going great for me. Can't ya tell?
I'm getting irritated thinking about all the shit I've been thru in the past couple hours. Lol. Seven hours of hell. Nice. And the thing is, that Seroquil I took to put me to sleep... yeah, it's still working. So I have to struggle to stay up and entertain myself on this laptop without any internet. I don't HAVE to have internet to be entertained on a computer, but it sure is nice once you run out of things to do on it WITHOUT internet. There's also the small fact that I do this EVERYTIME I work... so the little games get boring after a while. At least I remembered to bring my external today. I think if I didn't have any music going then I'd be fucked in terms of staying awake. I'm not sure if I'm going to drive to Florida or if I'm gunna have Shane do it. Depends on how I feel once I get out of here. Hopefully it won't be too bad.
0333 TEXT!!! It doesn't look like much of a text in army time... which I'm using army time bc that's the time we have to use at work. So I'm kind of accustomed to it now. Okay I'm getting bored. Back to 3 Doors Down and Spider Solitaire...
0538... trying my damnedest to kill this stupid fly. And “damnedest” doesn't really look like a word does it? Too many suffixes on it. I think those are called suffixes. Idk. Lol. Ugh. Four hours and19 minutes until I get to go home. It's slowly getting there. Usually there's some action by now. Not this time... Well, at least 12 hours from now I'll be on the way to Mom's for dinner with Shane's entire family... almost his entire family. Not far from it anyways. We've got Me, Shane, CJ (his Brother), Robert (his Dad), Adair (Step Mom), Avery (His Sister), his Grandma (don't know her name), then of course my Mom, Dad, Steven, Nick and a surprise visit from Jon that only Shane, CJ and I know about I think. Nobody knows about it, but it's not that way on purpose. It just kinda happened that way. We just found out last night.

Boring
0310 Listening to Rihanna- I Hate That I Love You
0314 Still Listening to Rihanna- I Hate That I Love You
0315 No need to say it.
Work... Weekly Outrageous Requirements Kept
Work... Worthless Output of Rest and Kindness
Work... Wealthy Owners Requiring Kinship
They all make sense in their own way, don't you think? Blah, is it sad that my external is larger than my laptop... in terms of HD space, not the actual dimensions. Lol. Well, it's larger than this laptop (Shane's) but not larger than mine! Lol. But Shane's got the better comp in terms of capabilities so you can't complain about the HD too much. I got 34 gigs free on this one right now. And if I put my music on this one (the one thing I don't have on it) then I'll only have like 12 gigs free. Lol. So that's why I just bring my external and play it off that ;)
I went to the Dentist yesterday and got a cleaning. I've got four cavities. And I knew I had them, just didn't know I had four... or that it would cost 425 bucks to get them taken care of. Lol. And that's WITH a 140 dollar discount. I need to get health insurance... I had it at my old job. I should prob look into it. Anyways, my teeth feel weird. Lol. I never floss, so when they went in and cleaned them out completely it feels so different. It's amazing the difference just flossing makes. So I know what I'm gunna be doing now. Haha. The lady who was doing my teeth was like... you have such pretty teeth... and she was saying that the WHOLE time. Lol. So that's a compliment I'd say.
Hm, I think I hear a truck coming... maybe. You know how you move into a new house and every time someone drives by you look out the window to see if they are pulling into your driveway. But when you've been in a house for a while, it's just instinct to know when someone is driving by and is about to pull in. Well, I still haven't got that instinct here yet... I'm working on it. Haha. Jennifer was saying how you can actually feel the truck coming. Like under your feet. But I still can't relate to what she's talking about on that one. Maybe eventually.
0332 Listening to Rihanna- Unfaithful
Idk why but I have really been liking her lately. Oh! And Shane's Dumbass ruined my... thing... yesterday. Lol. I went to tell Raye something and he already told her. That's not fair! It was supposed to be my glory! Lol. Oh well. It sucks. I wanted to know her response and I can't view it bc I didn't have logging on AIM. Gr. Lol. I'm typing this is word, and “Gr” is actually in the dictionary on this thing. I was expecting it to be underlined and pissing me off, but it's not. Lol.
Oh and RAYE you never told me about what happened when you met up with Thomas that day. I don't remember what happened bc we were kinda talking about it. Okay, so we were talking about talking about it... but we never actually talked about it. So clue me in when you see me online again. Lol.
So yeah, Shane and I are heading down to Florida this weekend. We're not staying long and are schedule is kinda hectic. So, unfortunately I won't be able to see everybody. But one day I come down I'll have a party and invite everyone or something. Lol. Sound good? Maybe a Hannah Park or Jetties kinda thing. Who knows. We'll see. I'll think about it. It's gunna be a while before I can do it. And you'll find out why later, but for now I'll just leave it at that.
0347 Listening to Rihanna- SOS (Rescue Me)
I'm gunna try to find something to occupy my time... like more card games. Haha. Bbs.
0405 Staring at my desktop bc there's nothing better to do.
0406 Typing this.
0407 ...Isn't here yet.
Ha! I finally got this chair to lean backwards again! Sweet! It was stuck in a flimsy state there for a while. I used to mess with all day I was here. And I finally got it! Woo! Lol. I guess the controls only wprk when the chair is all the way down, not up. Oh well. It's working. I wish I had some pants that were more comfortable than the ones I'm wearing. That would be super nice... these are itchy. It sucks. And now I feel short as hell when I'm trying to type. My elbows are like... way below the table top. Damn it, the chair broke again. I give up. I'll bring my own next time...
0459 I feel like a rag doll.
Dang it... still no new schedule. I need to know by tomorrow. Bc tomorrow is the last day I work as far as I know. I need to find out when I come back in. That would be a nice bit of information to know, know what I'm sayin? Lol. Usually I know my schedule way in advance, but now it's only going up until the 13th. And the last day they have me scheduled for is the 8th. Working here is kinda kewl tho. I like to have a family environment where I work. And here... well let me explain this. You have Heather and Jennifer, who are sisters. You have Toni, who is Heather and Jennifer's mother. Then you have Clyde aka Fletcher, who has known the girls since they were little, and they're both in their late twenties early thirties. And then you have me... So I've literally got a family environment going on here. Lol.
I'm eating some Cracker Jacks right now. Even tho I probably shouldn't considering it's 0519 right now. But, I got them bc I was playing DDR on my laptop and I was playing it on endless mode. Which, as you might be able to tell, is a game where you don't get a break. The songs keep coming and coming. Well, I was playing for 22 minutes straight on endless mode before I got frustrated and quit bc it kept me on standard and wouldn't move me up to heavy and I was literally falling asleep as I was playing.... that's sad. So food it was! The thing is, now I need a drink... but it can wait. I already had a Mt Dew.
0525 Four and a half hours to go.
0526 I'm wanting to doze off again.
0527 It's not here yet, but I'll be playing Spider Solitaire once it does get here...
I think I only lasted about 10 minutes on Spider Solitaire before I fell asleep. This sucks. Lol. Four more hours to go. Then I get to go home... and still not sleep. Bc If I sleep then I won't be able to sleep tonight in preparation for tomorrow mornings work call. But then I leave and drive to Florida, which is a five and a half hour ride. Now... do you really think it will actually take me that long? Nah. Lol. If I leave at noon I'll probably be there by 3:30. It's not really that bad of a trip. Seems like it tho when you start off and you look at the GPS and it says you still have five hours to go... but the more you step on it, the more it decreases. It's a good feeling to see the destination time read 3:30 when it's only 3 o clock and you know even that you can cut in half... if you go 120 the whole way... which I can't. I hit the governor at 115mph. But you get the point.
0628 I just had 3 supervisors come in 3 minutes time... the poor gate just can't stay up or down. Lol.
0629 It's clear so far.
0630 Dang it, Cardinal is here... and I lost my cheat sheet. I was trying to stay ahead of him, but now I can't.
0631 Twenty-nine minutes until he asks if he can come in. Another supervisor came in.
0632 Trying to see Cardinals numbers from here. My eyes aren't that good.
0633 Still trying.
0634 Monte Carlo. Arriving for duty... wearing a bra.
0635 Still trying. I know it begins with a 2 and ends with a 654. I can't see it. Just memorized it.
0636 WBT Truck!
0637 Talking with trucker man.
0638 Supervisor came in.
0639 Another supervisor came in.
0640 Typing this bc there's nothing else that happened yet.
0641 Wishing I had binoculars.
0642 250654? But that's the trailer... what's the truck?
0643 Going deaf from the loud trucker. Sounds like Jim. JEO man. It's about time for him to get here anyways.
0644 I wanna know the truck number!!!
0645 Tod Sanford arriving for duty. And here's Robert Johnson here to check my papers. Lol. And Hindrix.
0708 Alrighty. Well it was 265654 and truck was 20813. Lol. I'll get this one day. Haha. I got it all before he came in, and that's what matters... to me anyhow. He's kewl if you can keep ahead of him. He doesn't seem to be so stuck up. But he still needs to work on that over confidence thing. Lol. Well, it's 0709 and I should probably be getting off here. So off I go. Lol. Later guys. You'll hear from me again tomorrow morning. No worries. Uck...
0314 Still Listening to Rihanna- I Hate That I Love You
0315 No need to say it.

Hm, I think I hear a truck coming... maybe. You know how you move into a new house and every time someone drives by you look out the window to see if they are pulling into your driveway. But when you've been in a house for a while, it's just instinct to know when someone is driving by and is about to pull in. Well, I still haven't got that instinct here yet... I'm working on it. Haha. Jennifer was saying how you can actually feel the truck coming. Like under your feet. But I still can't relate to what she's talking about on that one. Maybe eventually.
0332 Listening to Rihanna- Unfaithful
Idk why but I have really been liking her lately. Oh! And Shane's Dumbass ruined my... thing... yesterday. Lol. I went to tell Raye something and he already told her. That's not fair! It was supposed to be my glory! Lol. Oh well. It sucks. I wanted to know her response and I can't view it bc I didn't have logging on AIM. Gr. Lol. I'm typing this is word, and “Gr” is actually in the dictionary on this thing. I was expecting it to be underlined and pissing me off, but it's not. Lol.
Oh and RAYE you never told me about what happened when you met up with Thomas that day. I don't remember what happened bc we were kinda talking about it. Okay, so we were talking about talking about it... but we never actually talked about it. So clue me in when you see me online again. Lol.
So yeah, Shane and I are heading down to Florida this weekend. We're not staying long and are schedule is kinda hectic. So, unfortunately I won't be able to see everybody. But one day I come down I'll have a party and invite everyone or something. Lol. Sound good? Maybe a Hannah Park or Jetties kinda thing. Who knows. We'll see. I'll think about it. It's gunna be a while before I can do it. And you'll find out why later, but for now I'll just leave it at that.
0347 Listening to Rihanna- SOS (Rescue Me)
I'm gunna try to find something to occupy my time... like more card games. Haha. Bbs.
0405 Staring at my desktop bc there's nothing better to do.
0406 Typing this.
0407 ...Isn't here yet.
Ha! I finally got this chair to lean backwards again! Sweet! It was stuck in a flimsy state there for a while. I used to mess with all day I was here. And I finally got it! Woo! Lol. I guess the controls only wprk when the chair is all the way down, not up. Oh well. It's working. I wish I had some pants that were more comfortable than the ones I'm wearing. That would be super nice... these are itchy. It sucks. And now I feel short as hell when I'm trying to type. My elbows are like... way below the table top. Damn it, the chair broke again. I give up. I'll bring my own next time...
0459 I feel like a rag doll.
Dang it... still no new schedule. I need to know by tomorrow. Bc tomorrow is the last day I work as far as I know. I need to find out when I come back in. That would be a nice bit of information to know, know what I'm sayin? Lol. Usually I know my schedule way in advance, but now it's only going up until the 13th. And the last day they have me scheduled for is the 8th. Working here is kinda kewl tho. I like to have a family environment where I work. And here... well let me explain this. You have Heather and Jennifer, who are sisters. You have Toni, who is Heather and Jennifer's mother. Then you have Clyde aka Fletcher, who has known the girls since they were little, and they're both in their late twenties early thirties. And then you have me... So I've literally got a family environment going on here. Lol.
I'm eating some Cracker Jacks right now. Even tho I probably shouldn't considering it's 0519 right now. But, I got them bc I was playing DDR on my laptop and I was playing it on endless mode. Which, as you might be able to tell, is a game where you don't get a break. The songs keep coming and coming. Well, I was playing for 22 minutes straight on endless mode before I got frustrated and quit bc it kept me on standard and wouldn't move me up to heavy and I was literally falling asleep as I was playing.... that's sad. So food it was! The thing is, now I need a drink... but it can wait. I already had a Mt Dew.
0525 Four and a half hours to go.
0526 I'm wanting to doze off again.
0527 It's not here yet, but I'll be playing Spider Solitaire once it does get here...
I think I only lasted about 10 minutes on Spider Solitaire before I fell asleep. This sucks. Lol. Four more hours to go. Then I get to go home... and still not sleep. Bc If I sleep then I won't be able to sleep tonight in preparation for tomorrow mornings work call. But then I leave and drive to Florida, which is a five and a half hour ride. Now... do you really think it will actually take me that long? Nah. Lol. If I leave at noon I'll probably be there by 3:30. It's not really that bad of a trip. Seems like it tho when you start off and you look at the GPS and it says you still have five hours to go... but the more you step on it, the more it decreases. It's a good feeling to see the destination time read 3:30 when it's only 3 o clock and you know even that you can cut in half... if you go 120 the whole way... which I can't. I hit the governor at 115mph. But you get the point.
0628 I just had 3 supervisors come in 3 minutes time... the poor gate just can't stay up or down. Lol.
0629 It's clear so far.
0630 Dang it, Cardinal is here... and I lost my cheat sheet. I was trying to stay ahead of him, but now I can't.
0631 Twenty-nine minutes until he asks if he can come in. Another supervisor came in.
0632 Trying to see Cardinals numbers from here. My eyes aren't that good.
0633 Still trying.
0634 Monte Carlo. Arriving for duty... wearing a bra.
0635 Still trying. I know it begins with a 2 and ends with a 654. I can't see it. Just memorized it.
0636 WBT Truck!
0637 Talking with trucker man.
0638 Supervisor came in.
0639 Another supervisor came in.
0640 Typing this bc there's nothing else that happened yet.
0641 Wishing I had binoculars.
0642 250654? But that's the trailer... what's the truck?
0643 Going deaf from the loud trucker. Sounds like Jim. JEO man. It's about time for him to get here anyways.
0644 I wanna know the truck number!!!
0645 Tod Sanford arriving for duty. And here's Robert Johnson here to check my papers. Lol. And Hindrix.
0708 Alrighty. Well it was 265654 and truck was 20813. Lol. I'll get this one day. Haha. I got it all before he came in, and that's what matters... to me anyhow. He's kewl if you can keep ahead of him. He doesn't seem to be so stuck up. But he still needs to work on that over confidence thing. Lol. Well, it's 0709 and I should probably be getting off here. So off I go. Lol. Later guys. You'll hear from me again tomorrow morning. No worries. Uck...
Thursday, November 6, 2008
Eh...
It's 3:30am. My stomach is hurting, I feel like shit. I wanna go home and crawl back in bed... but I can't do that until later on tonight bc if I do rest then I'll never be able to sleep and get up for tomorrows 2am work call. Which I'm really not all that bad off right now... I'm just feeling like shit and it's cold.. those combinations can make you tired... or more tired in my case. I'm waiting for one of these flies to buzz in my mouth next time I yawn. There were like 6 of them in here when I got here. Idk how Fletcher can deal with it. It's insane. I can't stand them. Ugh, I need a drink. Hopefully the vendy man put something worth while in the machine this time... we'll see. Well, last time I got something out of there. I went to get Cheetos... they ended up being Cracker Jacks. So I was like alright. I'll just get a Rice Krispy treat... well that ended up being Oreos. So I didn't get anything I wanted. Then today. I went for a Mt. Dew... which I got. And a Danish Cheese thing... and I get a giant Cinnamon Roll instead. I just can't win. Maybe that's just God's way of telling me to leave the vendy thing alone. Which I'm sure there are plenty of reasons why I should. But I've also got one big reason to not give a Fuck. Lol. Some of you may know what that is. Some won't... but in time you will. I can't hide it forever. If you wanna know, ask. If I want you to know, I'll tell ya. Next...
3:51. Only had one truck this morning. It was a while ago tho. And he's usually one of the guys I talk to but we didn't talk today... and I feel kinda bad bc he's one of the guys who travel from GA to here. It feels good to have a conversation after a ride like that. But I just wasn't feeling well and didn't feel like talking... I'm sorry Ricky! Lol. He was telling me last time we were talking about how he lives out in the middle of nowhere a couple miles down this one road. He said that it's kewl bc no one bothers him, and if someone is out there then he knows they aren't suppose to be there. He was talking to a cop friend of his sayin he'd just shoot em if he see's someone on his property. Then the cop was like Man, if someone ever comes us missing we're gunna hafta dig your whole yard up. Lol. He was telliing me about that, and how he makes ground beef out the ass out there. And sausages. Something about mixing deer meat with beef to make sausage, and mixing deer meat with something else to make something else... I'm not sure. Or maybe I got it all fucked up, who knows. But it's something like that. Haha. I thought it was kinda kewl.
Well, it's 4:00am and I've already taken in about 500 calories. It'll be 610 as soon as I finish this Mt Dew... but the whole point of this is to make sure I stay up... we'll see how it works. Oh, and for those of you who ACTUALLY read this will get the heads up on when I'm coming down to Florida. Which, in this case, is this weekend. I get off work at 10:00am Saturday and Shane's off at noon. So we'll probably be leaving soon after that. Then leaving from Florida sometime Sunday I'm sure. I wish we could stay til Monday... but we can't afford for Shane to miss a day of work. That's 60 bucks, if not more. Depends. Buuuut, Shane's Dad is going to pay to have my car checked out completely while we're down there. Said he's just gunna put it on his corporate account... must be nice. Lol. He's got these kewl little gadgets. Like this telephone thing for your computer. You plug it into your comp and plug your phone up to it and you can call people all day long and receive calls for nothing. Sounds sweet, don't it? Lol. As long as you got net, you can do it. Which we do, so we can. Haha.
The one thing I'm not liking about me going back down to Florida, is the fact that everyone wants to see me, and I want to see them... but I kinda have an obligation to Shane's rents seeing as they are paying for us to come down... it's not an obligation really bc I do want to spend time with them. They are awesome people, I love em. I just think it's kinda disrespectful to have them pay for us to come down, then have me run off and do what I want with whoever. Ya know where I'm coming from? It's not right. Which there's only a few people I'd want to see anyways, but still. I can't just run off like that. One thing about Shane's parents is they have accepted me right into their family, no questions asked. Always offering to help with whatever it is they can. It's a really good feeling to know someone has your back like that. You want to do for them what they do for you, only it sucks bc you can't. Lol. Like we're so limited. And I feel like crap about a few things when it comes to financial capabilities. There was this necklace that I saw a couple months ago that I wanted to get Mom for Christmas... we kept putting it off, and now we don't have the money to do it... we didn't before but we could've made payments on it. Now we just flat out don't have the money. And it was awesome. It was perfect. I wanted it so bad. And the same with my brothers birthday... I can't do anything with that now either. It sucks. How am I suppose to tell my little brothers, “Hey, remember how I promised you I'd get you a birthday gift but it might be a week or two late? Well yeah, I can't do that now.” It sucks. Especially now, but you'll hear more about that later. Anyways, I'm gunna go drown my sorrows in Photoshop. I'll be back to write more soon enough.
Okay I lied... I'm home now. It's 5:20, I took a Seroquel 20 minutes ago so I should be nice and knocked out in about 30 minutes. I'm dehydrated as hell and I just got back from the dentist at 4. I had a cleaning... and my teeth feel funny... but good. Anyways, beddy by time for me. So I'll be up and writing again at 2am like usual. See ya Peoples!
