New year New Post

2007-01-02T07:47:00.000-08:00

Well its 2007. Now normally this would signify being another year older and further in debt as the song goes, but this year its a lil different. While I certainly don't see myself running around grinning like an idiot all the time... I am somewhat lookin' forward to the coming year. Several good things can/may happen to me this year... which is a change for me. 1st and foremost is Graduation. yes Finally being done with the hell that is University of South Alabama! 2nd&3rd is of course New Job(preferably something I actually LIKE) and new location(the HELL outa Mobile)!! although technically not in 2007 my 4runner will be paid off in exactly one year from now. the only real problem I forsee in my immidate future is the dreaded return of former Supervisor at my post. hopefully that will end up not affecting me at all. ohhhh and evidently there is a bumper sticker out there that says... "do you think you could drive better if that cell phone was shoved up your A$$" I must now quest to find said bumper sticker!!! my only fear is that I may COVER MY ENTIRE VEHICLE with these if I find them.

Another Semester beaten into Submission

2006-12-20T07:46:00.000-08:00

Well Fall Semester 2006 is finally over... and I am OH so glad. Lack of Sleep and much work ganged-up to make this a very stressful and unpleasant semester. I did however manage to scrape an A in my Pysch class...which is VERY important as the only thing holding back from Graduating now is...my Psych GPA. so that helped. I also got a B in Dr. Houston's class..which doesn't surprise me...I've gotten B's in all 4 of his classes... evidently he has an aversion to giving out A's! anyways this also means that I qualify for Dean's List(part timers) for the 3rd and LAST time. 1 more class to go...Woot!
Well work has been going okay...which means OF COURSE that something has to go wrong. it would appear that the FORMER site supervisor is coming home from Iraq and wants his post back. what this will mean for me...I have no idea. there are 4 slots available at my current post. and currently 4 people inhabiting those slots. so someone is most likely going to be transferred. if I should get to stay... I am not sure how this New/old Supervisor will be... generally I have a sense of forbodeing about all of this. as I only need this job for a few more months... my schedule is perfect the way it is... so it makes perfect sense that something should come along and screw it up royally!!! such is the way my life generally works. and on that positive and upbeat note... Merry Christmas everybody!!!

OMG

2006-12-11T10:28:00.000-08:00

Ok... I took my Psych final Thursday, and came out of it feeling pretty confident that I had done well. well Friday just before I went to work I checked online to see what my grade was... and it was a 45 out of 100!!! I failed UTTERLY... and dropped my grade in teh class from a nice solid A to a high C. so I felt like I'd been kicked in the stomach... just walkin' around dazed... and generally being in shock. So I decided that after my War final today I would go to my professor and ask him what I did wrong on the final...answer... NOTHING. Silly professor forgot to weight the questions... I got a 90% not a 45. 3rd highest grade in the class...WOOT! this makes me feel much better. only my Paper left to be graded in that class if I do reasonably well I should get to keep my A for the semester...which would be very nice. After this semester I am done with my requirements for graduation. The only thing holding me back is my psych GPA. obviosly an A in a psych class goes a long way towards helping me in that regard. I don't think there is any way I can get less than a B in Dr. HOuston's class... so that one is not a worry... In short... I can feel free to drink my self into oblivion this evening in celebration of this extremely hectic semester being over... anybody wish to Join me?

Sorry #$%&*

2006-12-07T16:20:00.000-08:00

Ok... so today was my final in psychology. now the only thing holding me back from graduating is my GPA in my psych major. so that means if I do well in this class I'm 1 BIG step closer to graduating. so I know I have to work a 12 hr. shift wed. night... and get off at 6 am thurs.... go home... crash for 3 hours or so... get up and go take my final. I explain this VERY carefully to the guy that has to relieve me in the morning. So what does RETARD do...SHOWS UP OVER AN HOUR LATE!!! the one day I need that sorry #$%*er to show up close to on time!!! If I screwed up that test cause I was tired I'm gonna set his damn car on fire... WITH HIM IN IT!!! In other news.... ok... there is no other news... for the last week all I've done is study for this damn test and work on my final paper for this class... so I have done lil else newsworthy. Damn I hate people.

Hmmm this sound about right

well I finally managed to drag my sorry butt to War class. I got a "B" on my midterm in that class :( I really think the damn cellphones going off during the test affected my grade. I still have a "A" in the class, but only barely. Now I must make sure I do well on my next Article summary due Friday. My Role-playing game got canceled Monday which really sucks, becuase I have lil else(other than Pizza) to look forward to and get me thru the week. I am still thinking there is some outside baleful influence jinxing my games! Still working 12 hr shifts at work... which really sucks!!! I NEED a laptop. honestly I am so bored at work...I would love to be able to at least play solitare or something. is there a "donate laptops to the needy" organization somewhere? I looked on Ebay for one, but they are so damn expensive... the cheapest I saw was like $275.00 and since I'd be hard pressed to afford $2.75 I will continue to be bored while at work.

Cellphones During a Test

2006-10-20T10:35:00.000-07:00

There should be a rule that says, if your Stupid F#$%ing Cellphone goes off while people are taking a test... You should fail the test!!! I got interupted trying to complete an ESSAY test no fewer than 5 times by peoples damn Cellphones. I would LIKE a rule that says I get to beat the Hell out of you and Shove that damn Cellphone in an UNcomfortable place(and NO...I'm not talking about the back of a volkswagon)!!!

2006-10-07T12:00:00.000-07:00

when you work with a moron that makes a lot of little errors its only a matter of time till he screws up big time. Well it happened, and said moron has now been fired... and that means I'm stuck doin' 12 hr shifts till we get a replacement :( I hate 12's. "oh you'll be getting extra money"... yeah... but I"ll be too damned tired to enjoy it!!! oh well nothin' I can do about it. classes are going well...but also piling up the work here lately.

Yeaaaaa

2006-09-27T10:45:00.000-07:00

My new computer felt like being more cooperative today. I now have sound on this computer which greatly enhances any computer expierence. I also got my game downloaded and installed...and it works...most of the time. Now if I could only get my printer working...

Be careful what you wish for

2006-09-24T15:49:00.000-07:00

You might just get it. I have wanted a 2nd computer for some time now. I finally got it. this has proved a mixed blessing becuase it has proved to be rather tempermental. I like to think of it as establishing dominance. anywho... getting it to work was fun and took several calls to the company for service. now that it works... I STILL can't download my game, or get another game to work...OR get ANY sound. ::sigh:: other than that I am very happy with computer. in other news I am currently doing well in both of my classes... "A" so far. I also apparently made the Dean's list for Spring semester. "End of Line"

cool test thingee!

Ok... so I've been a bad blogger... I'm still better than some bloggers I could mention, but won't. I got a 10 out of 10 on my 1st article summary in Dr. Houston's class. interesting lil fact for those of you that have had Dr. Houston... do you know what his Doctorate is in? For those of you who haven't been Blessed with the Dr. Houston teaching experience...He's the guy Matt and I had for all those War classes he's the resident Military Historian at South, and won't shut up about his son. he also like to point out that "he could do terrible things with his pocketknife on a plane"!!! My new computer should be here this week yeaaaaaa :) HOwever I desperately need a copy of Windows XP or I'm not going to be able to use either computer much longer. my new comp comes Tabula Rasa... No operating sys. THIS computer has XP but you have to register it... and since I've... ::clears throat:: Misplaced my Certificate of Authenticity that is a wee bit difficult. so it stops working in like 10 days... all my hopes now rest with a pot head to get me the coveted Grail like item so that I might keep slacking at will!!! I haven't said this is a while...
GAWD I HATE SECURITAS... ::Deep Breaths:: ok... feel lil better now. in case you haven't guessed... working is screwing me again... but I'm so pissed I don't even want to blog about it. small ray of sunshine possibly on that topic...next! Oh yeah...my printer doesn't work... gotta try to get that fixed soon...I love my printer...hope I can get it fixed. really not much to say. so I will end it here I guess.

I've been a Bad Blogger...

2006-08-01T10:30:00.000-07:00

Maybe that's why everything in my life seems to be going to Hell-in-a-Handbasket!!! Its hard to know where to even begin. Ok... School. Graduation is Up in the Air...if not completely out of the question. I had not recieved my "official Graduation Checklist" as of last week. So I went to see what the hold up was. I recieved an UNofficial checklist from the Psych Dept. On this checklist, It showed that I had the two classes I KNEW I had to take, PLUS one Experimental Psych that I had NO idea I had to take. SO I got BlindSided by that. So I start trying to correct that problem...the 1st thing I wanted to do was... talk to my Advisor. Well the ENTIRE psych Dept. went to California for a week... Great... that helps a lot. So I finally get my OFFICIAL Graduation Checklist yesterday(I was supposed to have gotten the 1st week in JULY btw) and on there it states that I have a 1.87 GPA in my Major. So now I'm #$%&ed!!! Today I went and did some resuffling and NOW I am short 1 Psych Elective... still have the GPA prob. It took 5 straight "A"s to drag my Cumulative GPA out of the gutter... I don't know what kind of miracle I need to pull off to drag my Psych GPA up. btw... South does NOT have an "academic Forgivness policy". this would allow a student to 'erase' 1 poor grade from thier transcript. South does have "academic Bankruptcy" which erases ALL of your grades. Now does that sound like typical South Polices designed to screw over the student yet again... does to me!!!
ok... next problem. I hate the company I work for, Securitas. I actually LIKE my post. I don't do anything, its great while I"m in school(don't get me started on THAT again), it has a Bathroom!!! so... last week I find out that Cytec(the Post) has been bought out by a company named Kemira... and that this new company may not be keeping Securitas as their security. GREAT! I finally get a decent post and I may get to make the decision of keeping my post or keeping my company. Now I hate securitas, but I had hoped to transfer with them to NC and stay with them just long enuff to get a REAL job(using my newly obtained degree, which I now maynot be able to obtain...GRRRRrrrrrr), and then drop them like a bad habit in March '07. so 1 more piece of my Grand Plan coming unraveled!!!
ok... NEXT problem. I go into pay my rent today and see when I need to renew my lease. I had planned on renewing my lease for only 6 months(here is that whole Graduation thing again) and taking a slight increase on rent. ok fine. NOW I find out that "this apt. complex is in the process of being bought out and we are moving rent up to 'market price' " Okkkkk so my rent is going from $335/month to $480/month!!! #$%&!!! and I think that is for a 1 year lease!! #$%&!!!
other news is standard...no money... behind on my bills... Credit cards maxed out... no money for food... that's just my STANDARD concerns.
well the time for the good news...
...
...(sound of crickets chirping)...
...
ok... so that is what is going on in MY life... hope everybody else is doing fine and dandy. and some people WONDER why I'm angry all the time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

blah

2006-07-11T05:22:00.000-07:00

Still haven't gotten around to doing my STDT research... I'm a slacker what can I say. I made an "A" on my 1st test in history. I have my midterm tommorow. this 4 week semester crap really sucks. I haven't recieved my Graduation checklist yet...and I'm beginning to get annoyed.

question of the day... If you were an affliction what would you be?

I'm Finally Positive

2006-07-04T05:52:00.000-07:00

Refering to my GPA actually. I have finally scratched, fought, and clawed my way out of the cellar. 2.0 baby...yeahhhh I haven't had on of those since like... 1998!!! with my 4th "A" in History of Mass Media I have finally met one of the requirements for Graduation. 3 more classes and I should be good to go. I should also be getting my Graduation checklist soon.
well I actually have to go study for another class..tryin' for an 'A' in their too. I do believe I might have a small celebratory drink this evening... 4th of July celebrates our Freedom from Oppresion...well tonight... its going to celebrate my freedom Poor GPA land!!! and one more step towards my eventual Freedom from 'South!!!

Things that annoy me as of 6/19/06

2006-06-19T11:18:00.000-07:00

Due to the vast, huge, gigantic number of things that piss me off this is only a sampling of the actual list. A sort of favorite things that I feel I need to yell about.

#1 Cellphones... Yep this is a no-brainer to ANYONE that knows me! I hate cellphones, I LOATHE all people that use cellphones(for anything but emergency or work purposes) Damn you all!!! to the girl in the crappy red Ford Taurus that almost hit me 10 minutes ago. I don't care HOW important your cell conversation is... look for approaching cars BEFORE you back out of your parking space you Stupid %!&$##% Dumb #$%!* of a @$*$#. ::deep Breath:: continuing on...

#2 & 3 Inquisitive Idiots. These are the people that 5 seconds after talking to them ask, "are you married, do you have kids" My response that I want NEITHER is then met with awe and incredulity like I just sprouted a 2nd evil head! These are usually the SAME people that then bore the piss out of me for the next 30 min COMPLAING about their spouse & kids and telling me in general how miserable their life is etc. blah blah blah. and you think I'M a freak cause I DON'T want to put with that crap...

#4 University of South Alabama & its book store... God how I hate South! and I really hate South's Bookstore. I want Teachers to start publishing the ISBN's of the books they intend to use. this would allow me to circumvent the stupid bookstore and make my life much easier. Alas that is against South's policy of Screwing the student as much as possible and is therefore not allowed.

#5 Non-tourist foreingers that have a poor grasp of english or can't speak it at all. if you live in a country...learn to speak the language!!! If you've ever tried to give directions to a truck driver over the phone that can't speak english very well you will understand where I"m comin' from on this one! If I hear "que" one more time... and how do these people interpret road signs and so forth that are ALL in english??

#6 Idiots that blame Bush for the problems in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. 1st of all bush has a COUNTRY to run... not 1 damn city. 2nd resposibitly should fall on those most immidate to the scene for instance the MAYOR of said town! 2nd the Govenor has the abilty to call out the national guard... why wasn't she blamed. the Goverment is their for CLEAN UP! that's all. I'm from Missouri... I understand how flooding and the government assistance works. WHEN YOU LIVE BELOW SEA LEVEL YOUR FIRST PRIORITY SHOULD BE THE DYKES THAT KEEP YOU ALIVE YOU F'ING MORONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

#7 Gas companys... this should actually be higher on the list. I really really really don't want to hear how lucky I am to be paying ONLY $3 a gallon for gas vs. some stupid country in Europe that pays $5 a gallon. 1st of all... to hell with all of Europe!!!(cept England they are on my good side right now). gas companys are making RECORD profits! perhaps if they made a few hundred billion less dollars(they would STILL be making a very nice profit) they could lower gas prices about a 1.50 a gallon wouldn't that be nice!!!

#8 Hollywood. Celebritys are Morons. I don't want to hear about them...there lives... there fights... there drug problems... etc. Hollywood...shut up...you're there to look pretty that's all.

#9 cellphones
#10 cellphones.... I really really hate cellphones >:(

FYI anyone that post a comment extolling the virtues of cellphone or even trying to support or explain cellphone usage and defend cellphones... Your post will be deleted immidiately and without remorse!!! this is NOT a blogocracy!!! I like that term :)

2006-06-17T10:36:00.000-07:00

In John's personal news today... My neck is better. yayyy!!! Driving is once again possible without painful contortions in order not to have to turn my head which is always fun. on the work front... I finally got full time hours at the new site, and the only problem is I don't have my 2 off days together which kinda upsets me. one day off isn't really a day off in my opinion. I did not do as well as I wanted on my 3rd test in Mass Media. I have lost my "A" in that class and now I have to hope my paper and my final can keep a "B" or get me my "A" back. Hopefully I will now have some more study time... and I can pull grade up. we'll see. Well sadly I guess thats about it. I need to do some research before doing the Equipment STDT. so I shall postpone that another week.

STDT Villains

2006-06-10T06:30:00.000-07:00

Greetings once again... this is the page for STDT villains. now As I've already said I am going to do one battle on Klingons vs Romulans. so I need some other ideas. Khan HAS TO BE there some where... so I need at least one indvidual villain. I haven't decided yet whether or not to consider "Q" a villain or not. since sometimes he hurts and other times he helps... mmm we shall debate this out I'm sure. anyway... VILLAIN post only here thankyou!!!

OUCHHHHH

2006-06-10T05:50:00.000-07:00

OMG my darn neck hurts. I took a muscle relaxer and 2 pain killers last night...and still couldn't get any decent sleep. my neck hurts sooooo bad right now. I'm pretty sure I can actually SEE the muscle knot bulging out the side of my neck. Heat, Massage, and Muscle relaxers don't seem to work. Somebody put me down like a lame horse PLEASE!!! In other news... I had another test Friday... I don't think I did as well on this one. a combination of generally feeling like crap and this wonderful neck pain conspired to make me not want to study much. My work situation is no better right now. currently there are still 4 people competeing for 2 open slots. I've been playing a lot of Old School Magic the Gathering on Computer lately. with all the gigs and gigs of games I have on my comp... It some of the older games like Magic and heroes 3 that occupy a good bit of my time.

Ok...as promised Uhura vs Troi

Now in the role of bridge bunny looks count. and Sorry to say Uhura just doesn't have 'em. Troi... much more so. although in Star Trek 5(god this movie sucked) Uhura does display a lovely singing voice...I am super glad thats ALL she displays. ::shiver:: The reading of emotions is much less hokey to me then the Walkin' Computer brains(ie Spock/data) so I can appreciate this character more. I wish Troi was fullblooded Telepath instead of only half useful, but still... she performs her BB duties well enough. Also I think with the crew I've assembled... There is gonna be a REAL need for a shrink on board and especially handy on the bridge. I believe the later Enterprises the Ship computer handles most of the Communications so the "radio operator" post has been rendered obsolete. Having no particular need of Racial diversity(hey... I picked Sulu!) I think this battle is officially over.

Troi ***

Uhura *

This about does it for my great STDT. I have my crew, my enterprise. Next week we shall do a brief Equipment post...who has better phasers, comlinks, tricorders and anything else I can think of. and then we shall move into the final phase of STDT... The villains. We are gonna need some villains. I know I plan already to do a Klingons vs Romulans one. but I'm gonna make a seperate post just for Ideas on Villains. please give me some input on this one... You got 2 weeks so even slackers(hail to the king) should have time to come up with some. the only ground rule is... they must be comparable in # like you can't compare Khan with the entire Borg race. so to recap...

ohhhh How I hate my current job

2006-06-02T09:00:00.000-07:00

Of all the jobs I've worked... I do believe this job at least ties, if not exceeds, my most hated job ever. and that is a lengthy list... allow me to enlighten you as to my work history. this is the unabridged version although some names have been edited for reasons of National Security. all work years have been rounded off to the nearest .5 years.

Jefferson Memorial Hospital 3.5 yrs
S**** ********** 1 yr
F**** 1.5 yr
Car Repo Assistant .5 yr
(Aircraft Cleaner person 1 day)
(Jani-King Cleaner person 1 day)
Labcorp .5 yr
Providence Hospital 2 yr
Airport Checkpoint .5 yr
Loomis Fargo 4.5 yr
Securitas 1.5 yr

now this adds up to roughly 15.5 years of my life...and I have very little to show for it :( of the jobs on this list...most of them I appreciate. there are exceptions of course. The Airport checkpoint where I was the ONLY white person up there and was discrimminated against and generally treated poorly by all the other employees up there including the Manager. that job I truly hated. F**** where I was ignored by everybody. I tried to call in sick one day to my manager that LITERALLY stood right next to me(within arm's reach) for over a year...and I had to give a physical discription of myself and repeat my name several times...and I'm still not sure he knew who I was. that job just depressed me... if you ever want to feel unappreciated...go work for F****. but I really feel... that Securitas is the worst job I've had. and that is truly a bold statement. Having only worked at the Airport a lil over 6 months... Is a lil unfair... I'm sure it would be #1 if I'd worked there over a year! New news on the job front. I am no longer a Lot Nazi. I report to my new post tommorow at 6am(yuck). there is also talk of Higher pay perhaps as much as a dollar more an hour...maybe more...Oh bestill my beating heart!!! well no matter what... at least it will be end of Lot Nazi days :)

Well summer semester has started. yea. History of mass media seems ok. a lil dry maybe. but I more or less expected as much. I took my 1st test today. I felt underprepared, largely cause my hours at the post suck..andI can't use time to study there:( hopefully new post... better hours, ability study, and not riding around in clown car. all of these would be a real improvement. I think I did fairly well on the test. maybe.

time now for much delayed STDT

Sulu vs Data

Now as everybody knows I don't like talking computers. I have much the same issue with Data that I had with Spock. Data is a lil less hokey because he actually IS a computer, and I find this more acceptable. Also... I would install a Flat panel monitor and an X-box in his back and have the ultimate portable way to pass time on any long shuttle flights that I might have to endure :) Sulu as a Pilot is acceptable... he certainly displays competent abilties as such. also in Star Trek 6 he does display some Bold leadership capabilities. so I think this match is over.

Sulu ***

Depressed

2006-05-25T14:10:00.000-07:00

Life sucks. well another week has gone by. its bill paying time in the Sorenson Apt. hold. and once again I can not even afford to pay my bills. this is not particularly surprising...just annoying. I was almost done paying back my overdraft protection money...and now...I'm headed right back in. I keep tellin' myself "it will all be better when I graduate in 6-7 months." but will it? will I last another 6-7 months? I'm so tired of being poor. I need to go work out... but I'm not in the mood to see other human beings... some of them might be happy... and I think I'd have to do something violent if I saw someone smile...grrr... freakin' happy people! and happy people with Money...need to just DIE!!!!!!!!!!!! Money doesn't buy happiness BULL*#$%
Summer Semester starts in a few days... oh joy :( Now I will have to use my already limited free time to study something I don't really give a crap about in order to get a degree I don't really give a crap about in order to get a job that makes decent money that I don't give a crap about... etc. since this is techniquelly my weekend coming up...maybe I should try to do something fun... oh wait... THAT COST MONEYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

those of you skipping the boring happenings in my life and just waiting to comment on STDT... will have to wait till next week. I just don't think I can make an interesting post out of it right now.

Not much to say really

2006-05-18T12:35:00.000-07:00

well this has been a boring week. There really is very little to report. I've been working out this week... yesterday was leg day and I am pleasantly surprised that I'm not sore. Tuesday was Upperbody day...and I am NOT surprised that I am STILL sore :( I hate this part of lifting. oh well. I am happy to report that I have not gotten as weak as I had feared. I can do a fair amount of weight still... but I begin struggling after 2 sets. So I'm trying to take it easy right now and work up to respectablity. Thankyou very much Kristi for letting me tag along on your Family plan at the "Y". Right now what I'm planning to work out 2 days(1 upper body & 1 lower) and then take off a day. and thus you are up to speed on John's workout plans. Summer Semester hasn't started yet...so no school..yea! I have begun looking for jobs in North Carolina... so far nothing has leaped out at me... but I have time yet.

STDT

This week Security Officers... Worf vs Checkov

Now 1st of all... technically Checkov is a Weapons Officer but he is the closest thing to security and I think STDT needs a Security officer. that being said. I like Worf's deadpan dry humor. Checkov is definitely the comic relief of the Orginal crew. so far tie. another point for Worf is he is a Klingon. And Klingons in general have a very warlike Prussian sorta way about them that I think makes them natural Security officers. of course Checkov is Russian and they too have a Warlike Prussian way about them. so far STILL tied. Worf's Klingonness gives him greater strength and toughness. point for Worf. Worf likes to play with Sharp bladed objects and has a large collection... point for Worf. With a heavy heart...

Worf ****

Checkov ***

I like the Checkov character and would like to see him on board somewhere. My greatest wish might be to train him to do the "driving" of the ship and replace Sulu and Data. but it is not plug people in where I want them Dream team... so alas... I bid Checkov goodbye and wish him luck in his eternal quest to find "the nuclear Wessels" ::sniff sniff::

Well I am behind schedule...nothing new there, but I am faithful to my blog. "Bloggeris Fidelis" Ohhhhh Good news... I got "A"s in both my classes...WOOT! My GPA is now a 1.97 cumulative. with four classes to go and .03 I feel more and more confident of my Dec. Graduation from this acursed school! which reminds me... need to apply for graduation. The Rattle is GONE from my SUV. Yeaaaaaaaa!!! Apparently my exhaust pipe had come loose from exhaust manifold which was causing the rather nasty noise. Cost = $35!!! Thankyou Charlie...you the man. now I think I need new brakes... and I still need to obtain a tire that doesn't have a screw buried in it... but my vehicle sounds much better and for that I am very happy. ohhh yeah started my new post for secrapitas...HATE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I sit in a car all night and drive circles around Walmarts parking lot. I am FORCED to harrass truckers and campers who want to spend the night in the parking lot(which is NEVER more than half full at the busiest soI don't know why that can't stay) and make them leave. I have coined the phrase " 'Lot Nazi" to describe my new postion... cause thats what I am now... grrrrrrrr. Have I mentioned before how much I loathe SeCRAPitas!!!!! the hours also suck and I"m going to call the scheduler(das Scheduling Fuhrer) and request new post...preferably one in that doesn't suck. ok... I think that is about everything time for....STDT!

we shall take the challenging task of engineers this time. Scotty vs Geordi

Ok... Lets see... Scotty is nicknamed "the miracle worker" for his many numerous life/ship saving efforts aboard Enterprise. Geordi on the other hand... wears funky 80's glasses. Being Handicapped and black are I feel Geordi's two main contributions. and they sorta neutralized the blind thing...so really he only has 1.5 contributions. Scotty led rescue attempt of Kirk, Bones, and Spock single handedly by blowing up a wall. Geordi would push some buttons on a console. Scotty would actually work on a problem... Geordi would run to the Holodeck and waste time talking to computer generated person that was smarter then him. It seems like they tried to make his character some kind of Artist or something... He can't just work things out in his head like any NORMAL person would do... he's got to have some sorta fanatasy role playing life quest in the holodeck to come up with and answer. When is the last time you had some Artsy Fartsy guy fix you car...NEVER... cause people like that don't fix things well! they might design cars... but they don't repair them. Scotty was Humorous, while Geordi was about as interesting as a bowl of soggy breakfast cereal. yeah I think I've rambled on this one...it really should have been a shorter post...Scotty wins hands down!

Scotty ****

Day Late..

2006-05-04T07:46:00.000-07:00

AND most Definitely a dollar short. Money problems continue to abound and the latest is work is screwing me out of more of my already pathetic check. I am going to talk to the people today and see if I can get this situation fixed...however my hopes are NOT high. lets see...other news... Finals are over WOOT! Going into my History final tuesday I only needed 23 points out of a possible 50 to get and "A" for the semester... I'm fairly certain I got somewhere in the 40's on that test...so I believe I have an "A" in History. My Brit Lit. 2 class was a LiL more "iffy" with a crap teacher and a LOT of material this test scared me more than History. I know I missed some answers... but overall I felt confident that I got at least a "B". Now in that class their is a slight curve so hopefully other members of class help me out a lil on that. Also, with my previous test score of an "A" the deciding factor of whether I get and "A" or "B" for the semester would be my paper on which I got a grade of "good"... I kid you not! I hate that teacher grrrrr. so I feel somewhat confindent that I got an "A" in that class...we will see I guess. I dont think Matematically there was anyway for me to get lower than a "B" but whatever enough about that.
Car is still running... I"m hoping to get tire with Screw in it changed in June. and Have it looked at to see what engine noise is sometime here soon. hold together just a lil while longer car!!!
ohh My comfy chair is back to full comfyness status...and My printer which has been non functional... is now halfway back to full functionality. it would appear that it was indeed defective Ink cartridges tha have been causing the problems... and I have recieved my new Color ink cartridge(Free I might add) and will soon recieve my black ink cartridge as well. for all of you out there that use printers...LEXMARK rules. I have recieved SUCH better assistance with this than with my HP printers that my previous dislike of the Communist HP S.O.B.'s seems all the more justified. I highly recommend the Lexmark family of printers. thankyou.
that would seem to be about all going on in my life...depressing isn't it!!!

STDT
while I must say the commentary is a plesant surprise...the vehemence of the replies is equally unexpected. Still I must say that this was a bold and audacious undertaking of mine and I can only congradulate myself on my excellent idea.... ok ok... I shall stop pattin' myself on the back now... hard to type like that :)

This week as promised the Doctors... Bones vs Crusher

This is another fight over before it begins. Bones hands down. Bones' humor not only gives him a better "bedside manner" but his dedication to saving lives is unquestionable. In star trek 4 he brought Checkov back from near death while spitting out unforgettable lines like "sounds more like the Goddamn Spanish Inquistion to me!" LOL... I still chuckle at that. his attempt to save the hated enemy Klingons in the 6th movie...good stuff. Somehow I just don't see Crusher climbing up on to a bloody(and purple blood at that) table and beating on an aliens chest to try and save 'em. In Fact B. Crushers only real contributions seems to be some stupid attempt at romantic tension with Piccard and a reason for Wesley Crusher to be on the ship. Well since I got rid of Piccard's crusty ass... and the only reason Wes would ever make it on to my show would be to die in some horrific and very painful fashion, I don't think Crusher has ANY use whatsoever!!! the score on this one is...

Bones *****

Crusher * (once again this is 1 star only cause she can't get less... unlike Piccard however at least she's not in the negatives...she would however rate a big fat ZERO if such a score were allowed)

STDT so far...

Enterprise NCC-1701-C
Captain James T. Kirk(woot)
1st officer (tie pending deathmatch) Spock/Riker
Doctor Bones

I'm thinkin' Security officers next week... Worf(cause I dont count stupid Tasha yarr charcter) and Checkov' Or maybe Chief engineer... Scotty vs Giordi....mmm not sure, will have to mull this one over. Be prepared for either one...."CONSTANT VIGILANCE"

Yet ANOTHER post...

2006-04-26T07:46:00.000-07:00

I am such a good blogger... UNLIKE some People(had to get my weekly jibe in Matt). OK...lets see... I have finished my 2nd paper and I must say... I want MY printer back working! Not having my own printer is a Pain in the rump! I have called the people and they are supposedly sending me more ink cartridges...Again! Car is still running...yeaaaa car! Ahhhh finals time doth approacheth!!! Tonight I attend my last ever British Literature 2 class...THANK GAWD! I hope we get to do teacher evals tonight... cause I'm gonna rip this teacher a new one... quite possibly the WORST teacher at South... AND THAT is saying something! My chair is back... big comfy leather chair is back to providing most excellent cushioning for my backside... and while thier is lil doubt that my backside comes with plenty of its OWN cushioning... the extra help is always nice. go chair. Ok... My last day at Gulf Atlantic is going to be Sunday. so far SeCRAPitas has failed to inform me of my new position... NOT really a big surprise...considering the management at Mobile branch SeCRAPitas couldn't find thier butt with both hands. while I hate my company... the actual job was very nice for studying and school in general. I find it somewhat Ironic that... I might have to start looking for another job... and now that my classes will have to be DAY time classes...I can no longer persue a Daytime job... and finding evening/night shift jobs is never easy. ::sigh:: I hate looking for jobs like I hate cleaning... and ya'll know how I hate to clean. Oh yeah almost forgot... I looked up how to find out who you congressman is and its actually very easy... go here http://www.house.gov/writerep/
and type in your zip code...then write said congressman and say.... "WE NEED TAX-REFORM YOU S.O.B." mmmm I have not had a DrinkDrink in some time(like a WHOLE week)... my Liver needs to be taught a lesson...I have cranberry juice, CrownRoyal, and Apple Pucker... sounds like Washington Apple will be my "weapon of Liver destruction" for this evening...woot!... and what am I celebrating... the Demise of Brit LIt. 2... a very worth celebratory cause in my opinion!!! Ok... time now for S.T.D.T(no one made fun of me last week for miss spelling this)

Ok... the battle today is between 1st officers... Spock vs Riker

This one is actually fairly close. On one hand you the the perennial favorite of "trekkies" everywhere...Spock. F' Spock. The Green blooded bastards only real contribution is humorous banter with Bones. If I want a fountain of Information...I WILL ASK THE DAMN COMPUTER. which is pretty much all Spock does any damn way. Ok... He's got CHEESY "mind Meld" powers... what ever... and stupid Vulcan neck pinch... that was always RETARDED! Riker on the other hand doesn't serve a whole lot of purpose... He's supposed to be the dashing type contrasted to Piccards old saggyness. IN STDT this would be humorous cause he and Kirk could get into a womanizing contest... taking the whole concept of "Boldly going where no man has gone before" to a whole new level :) Kirk would have an advantage with his lil "Ready room" right off the bridge... but Riker is young and agile... so I think its an obstacle he could overcome. I really don't have that much for Riker... but I see much more promise in him and I think he was underused on Next Gen. because people were to focused on Piccard's Crusty ass. I would like to see Riker taken under Kirks "wing" and taught the finer arts of Flying Leg kicks and maybe a trick or two in the womanizing dept. A new show... mine.. would I think allow him to develop his character... add a lil snarkyness, develop some witty banter with Bones, and I think he would be far superior to bland old Spock. if I want a talking computer... I'll ask the COMPUTER... that is what its job is!!! I can tell you now I"m going to have much the same arguement against Data whenever I get to him.

ok... the final tally is

Spock **

Riker **

so far STDT is....
Next Gen. Enterprise(Matt give me the # for this so I can stop typing Next Gen. all the time)
CAPT. Kirk(yeaaaaaaaa)
1st officer tie(Pending "ThunderDome" bloodmatch between Spock and Riker)

2 weeks in a row... GO ME!!!

2006-04-19T06:25:00.000-07:00

Hmmm Lets see what happened this week. Well I finished the 1st of two papers that are due. Now if you consult my blog(which I know no one but me does) then you will see that I was supposed to do these papers back in March...what can I say... I am a slacker! My big comfy black leather computer chair broke a wheel...(::sigh:: five days till comfy chair back). SeCRAPitas might be losing the Gulf Atlantic account which might mean that I lose my " study Hall" and unless they can find me another site where I can do nothing but study all night... I might be acceralating my quiting of SeCRAPitas!!! this would really be bad timing but se la vie. My car is still functioning... how much longer... I don't even want to think about that. 2 weeks till finals... gotta keep my "A"s!!! Uncle Sam cashed my check... I"m sure he can now afford 2.4 screws or possibly 1 bullet... or maybe some nice staples!!! That reminds me... After this I"m doing a Google search for... "who's my Congressman" I have two words for him whoever he/she is... TAX F'ING REFORM!!!! ok...that is about all time once again for....

Star Trek Dream Team(which from now on shall be abreviated STBT...cause I'm lazy!)

Captains: Kirk vs Piccard

This fight is pretty much over before it begins. Piccard isn't good enough to change Kirk's soiled sheets. Kirk is a kick@$$ kinda guy... shoot 1st, go home and do you know what with the Prom queen(or whatever greenskinned Alien chic might be handy) Piccard is an OLD supposedly hardcore guy... but has anyone noticed that all his escapades have happened OFF camera? he was a womanizer...off camera, he was excellent at fisticuffs...off camera, why couldn't he have adjusted his uniform...OFF CAMERA!!! seriously... everybody wore those tight jump suit things...why was his the only one that didn't fit... I say his Depends were riding up but that is just a theory. Piccard is French... major cool points loss... He sings stupid songs to children when stuck in an elavator. HE TALKS to Whoopi GOLDBERG... ANOTHER major cool points loss. F' whoopi goldberg...grrrr!!! Piccard likes tea... what kinda hardcore person drinks tea... COFFEE is a mans drink...everyone knows this!!! ::shakes head:: sad sad sad... and the victor is....

Kirk **** (Kirk would get 5 stars if he could crush peoples throats with his mind!)

Piccard * (Piccard gets 1 star only cause the scale is 1-5 he actually deserves like neg 2!) so to

recap...

New thread...

2006-04-11T10:39:00.000-07:00

Same ole B.S.
I haven't blogged in a while...been busy. Still I"m not as bad as some people that shall remain nameless... you know who you are!!
Work sucks, that is an axiom while employed at SeCRAPitas. School is heating up for the big finale... I've a quiz this week... A paper do next week and another the week after that... oh and incidentally I have to study for two finals to try and keep my "A"s. My car is still making a strange engine rattle and I don't have the money to take it in to the mechanic to see what's wrong, much less actually pay him to fix it. There is a Nail in one of my tires that is unrepairable... and I don't have the money for a new tire. ::sigh:: everytime I drive now I have a horrible since of dread that my engine and tire are going to explode at the same time!!! Also no more role-playing... the one thing other than pizza that I really looked forward to every week is dead. There is some glimmer on the horizon but that is far away, for now. I recently had to pay Uncle Sam for the 1st time in my life... now it was not an exorbitant amount, but the confusion I have is... why now that I make the LEAST amount of money I"ve ever made in my life at a full time job do I owe Uncle Sammy anything??? It doesn't make sense... I don't make enough money to live on and yet I have to PAY the Gov. more money... this country needs MASSIVE tax overhaul!!! I need to write my Congressman and call him all kinds of names or something... it won't get fixed... cause rich folk will just buy off the senators anyway... but It occasionally makes me feel better to yell at other people. Who is my congressman anyway? mmm must find this out :) ok... thats about it...
now I will be giving my opinion on Orginal Star Trek vs Next Gen. Star Trek. I don't even count the crap that came after NG as a show... so at least Next Gen. gets That much credit. I'm kinda thinking of a sorta "Dream Team" Star Trek... some of the best of the Original with the FEW goodpoints of N.G. yes I freely admit I favor the orginal over Next Gen... that just means N.G. is gonna have to work that much harder to win. If certain people want to comment on this...they could actually post it on their own blog which might actually get them to use that otherwise ignored and unused thing... I once again am not naming anynames...but He has a LARGE movie collection and a propensity for uttering "Blurbs".
The Enterprise...
The orginal Enterprise never sat right with me. it often looked like it would be to narrow to have people actually walk around in it. it was also ungainly lookin' which is just never a good thing. the Next Gen. Enterprise while looking much more...Realistic... always kinda reminded me of a backwards hammerhead shark... and I never could figure out if I liked that or not.
so out of 5 stars...

Orginal Enterprise **

Next Gen. Enterprise ***

the Next Gen. Enterprise eeks out a narrow victory. Stage one of my "Dream Team" Star Trek is complete. more to follow.

How Low CAN they go...

2006-03-24T16:05:00.000-08:00

Most of us watch movies such as "Office Space" and the like and we say, "no job is really like that". To me... I truly believed that all employers were somewhat simialar. I mean of course there's variation but ,generally speaking, with labor laws and unions and so forth its not like the Dark Ages or anything... or is it! As you may or may not know I work for Securitas U.S.A. a security guard company. Now, before I go any further, I want to say my actual job is simplicity in itself. I literally get paid to do absolutely nothing. I read, do crossword puzzles, study for my Classes, and generally just try to stay awake. so the actual "work" isn't my problem...no my problem is My employer!
there is no doubt in my mind that Securitas has a big book or binder titled "how to screw over your employees" and its probably a multi-volume set! When I 1st left my old job to come to Securitas, I stated that I need to make no less than $9/hour. Now Securitas was advertiseing for as much as 10 an hour so I didn't think this particularly greedy on my part. I was told by the people that hired me that "Sure no problem.. we have plenty of positions that make that and some that make more" ok... so to make a long blog short... I get hired, and BANG... no such jobs exist... I end up making 7 an hr. screw over #1
fine I adapt and move on. then Securitas as a problem...they can't keep anybody employed at my post(cause the pay sucks) so its a revolving door(like 150% turnover rate at 1 damn post) that the upper-ups don't feel the need to do anything about, so the bottom line... I end up having to work for 4 months without any off days and a few 12 hr shifts thrown in just to make me really unhappy. screw over #2
Securitas employees do not get off for holidays. Unless your off days happen to fall on it. you can't even request off for vacation on holidays. screw over #3
now As I approaced my 1 year anniversary of being employed by Securitas I asked about my yearly raise...thinking that I would recieve one to cover cost-of-living increase, inflation, and Oh my fucking GAWD the rising cost of Gas! Guess what... No raise. instead you have to fill out 3 "study guides" and read 3 books and then you get to take 3 tests and then if you pass...MAYBE... you get your piddly ass lil raise!!! screw over #4
now after my 1 year anniversary I became eligible for vacation. one would think this would be cause for celebration right...WRONG! I got an extra check in with my usual(pathetic) amount that said, "Vacation check". and I thought, "mmm this is odd". Now in all my previous work expeirence when you put in for vacation it gets added to your check so that you dont' come up short and not be able to pay bills and so forth... also... usually you would get 2 weeks of vacation at most Hourly type jobs. well Securitas doesn't do that. when you take a vacation day... you just don't get paid. that kinda defeats the purpose of "PAID vacation" in my book. in addition I only got Paid for 36 hrs. 36 hours is only 4 and a half work days. what the fuck??? 4 and a half. if they'd made it an even 40 hrs... at least I'd understand...but 36 hrs!!! Screw over #5

I guess what I am really trying to say is...GAWD, I hate these fucking Assholes!!!

Week-O-Hell

2006-03-03T12:20:00.000-08:00

wow. I am so frackin' glad that is over. for like the last 2 weeks I have been studying my ass off for midterms(I figure about 16 actual hrs of my life), writing papers, and generally not having any fun at all:( I turned my paper in on time...go me! I think I aced my Brit. Lit. midterm, once again GO ME! I would have done REMARKABLY better on my History midterm if I had been able to get ANY sleep! I woke up at 10 am Wed. and did not get any sleep till Friday morning 6am!!! that's 44 hrs! I did manage to sleep till almost 2 oclock and now I feel like a human being again instead of a zombie. Also the History teacher screwed me by telling us in class a certain question was going to be on the test and then forgetting to put it on their!!! oh well... I've got a strong "A" in that class... I don't think I did THAT poorly... but it sucked just a lil bit having studied the wrong material.
speaking of things that suck... I had a terrible Pizza Hut expierence this week. The waitress sat us on the side of the building where all the families with all thier stupid annoying frackin' kids sit. this disgruntled me much... its bad enough having to share the resturant with them!! why can't these bastards go to CiCi's and leave me alone!!! lil kids deserve pizza that taste like cardboard!!! they deserve it, the lil heathen bastards... I deserve good pizza...NOT them!! grrrr
well now that midterms are over I have nothing going on academically for the entire month of March. I am, however, going accomplish some things ahead of schedule
::waits for the laughter to stop::
yes well I intend to do the papers that are do in both my classes in March instead of April(which is a VERY busy month for me academically speaking)!! I also need to do my taxes... which is why having a job where you have absolutely NOTHING better to do is nice!!! and then I have to take this stupid test for Securitas(bastards) so that I can finally get a piddlyAss raise. GAWD how I hate Securitas!!! well that is what HAS been happening in my life... and what will happen for the next forseeable future. I have been negelecting my gaming... I shall now catch up on that. after I make a sandwhich...or 2 :)

Cleaned

2006-02-23T05:18:00.000-08:00

I have cleaned my Apt. Most people would not think this momentous... for me however it is a major undertaking. I did 2 loads of dishes yesterday and I still have one more full load to go. I was literally down to 2 knives and a spoon as my only clean dishes. I also broke my vacuum...which is odd... cause its not like it really gets used that much... my vacuum has a pretty easy job. and today is Laundry day...woot. I don't really consider this spring cleaning... more I just finally felt like cleaning.... I wasn't tired or busy doin' 20 different things... it was a good day to clean.
I STILL have not recieved my new driver's license. Damn License Nazi's!!!

Today is a good day

2006-02-22T05:47:00.000-08:00

Today is Pizza day... see my earlier pizza post to know just how much I love pizza day. Also I am currently making an "A" in my US History class...woot!!! I've got a week to go till midterms and I"ve already started studying so I hope to do well. Graduation here I come!!! slowly...but surely.

Theory of why the Movie "Brokeback Mountain" was made

2006-02-18T12:16:00.000-08:00

Keep in mind this is only a theory. With all the hoopla about the movie "Brokeback Mountain," which is essentially a movie about gay cowboys, It has made me wonder..."Why on Earth would they make this film?" Is their some segment of our population that fantasies about what cowboys "really" do while out on the range? Evidently the answer to that is "yes." People must ask themselves how did we come to this? How could we have come from John Wayne and Clint Eastwood killing the bad guys to Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal sodomizing each other? Let me explain one possible theory on how it could have happened.
In today's modern cattle and horse breeding business there is nothing left to chance. This means that no longer are little cows and horses made by the random and therefore, uncontrollable process of mating...Oh no... most of it is done through artificial insemination. This way all the variables and so forth, can be controlled, leading to bigger cows and faster horses etc. Well the Bull or Stallion semen must be collected in some manner... And the equivalent of a Cow/horse "Blow up doll" sometimes just doesn't do the trick for the Bull/Stallion. In these cases, as I am give in to understand, the cowboys must then take things into their own hands... LITERALLY!!! Now sometimes the breeders might call in a veterinary specialist, but they are expensive. So often the cowboys ,which once tamed the wild west, are now pressed into service for manually masturbating Bulls and Stallions. "Oh how the Mighty have fallen."
Now when this behavior first started I'm sure it was seen as strange or weird, but now after 20 or 30 years this behavior might seem common place. This "relaxation" of societal norms and acceptance of behavior that once would have been construed as "homosexual" or "gay" could then lead to curiosity and possibly experimentation. Perhaps it started innocently enough... Just "masturbatin' the bull for extra practice." Perhaps they made a game of it such as, "which cowboy can get the bull/stallion off the quickest," after all competion is in our genes. The details are uniportant... The lasting consequences,however, may change the cinematic world as we know it.
Well once the "ball got rolling" as it were, one can see how a group of men, confronted with these unexplained feelings of guilt and isolation might seek to legitimize their practices. Human beings are, afterall, innately social creatures. Now that we've cultivated and entire generation of "Gay Cowboys" it is only to be expected that they would want to embrace social activities where they can identify with the protagonist of, a movie, for example. In essence seeking to explain their situation by being able to point to another example and say, "see it happened to Jake... How am I supposed to resist." Please remember this is only a theory. I say let our cowboys have their self respect back... Let the animals do what nature intended them to do... Stop the insanity!!!

State of Alabama License commission

2006-02-15T11:13:00.000-08:00

Would someone please explain to me why the License commission does not have a 1-800 number!!! My license is expired, I've renewed it and the temporary is now expired as well, the license commission doesn't know where my license is... and they have only a Long Distance # to call to find out. Now does anybody think it fair to call and sit on hold(paying Long Distance fees) to find out what these idiots did with my license which I already paid for!!! I am running out of options. this is just another example of government inadequacy!!! after all there are so many... what's one more!!

The Joys of Pizza Hut Buffet

2006-02-15T11:03:00.000-08:00

I feel that in this dark and dreary existence the only thing left to me that gives me pure unadulterated joy is Pizza-Hut Lunch Buffet. Every Wed. from 11 am to noon I sit with good friends and eat good pizza. All that I want, whatever combination of toppings I want, however much I want to eat. At the P.H.B.(Pizza Hut Buffet) I am truly master of my own destiny.
today life is good:)

ahhh

2006-02-13T08:58:00.000-08:00

I love the cold. nothing in this world is better to me than actually sitting here and have to wear socks cause my toes are cold. Now normally down here I have to pay 100's of dollars and work my air conditioner half to death to achieve this wondrous temperature, but today nature has provided for me. So I, on this most wondorous of days look at my thermostat and see that it reads 60 degrees in my Apt, and I give a silent nod of my head in thanks to ole mother nature... and I give the finger to the Alabama Power cause I don't have to pay for it...muhahaha!!!

Have we failed???

2006-02-12T09:58:00.000-08:00

I'm taking U.S. History till 1877 this semester. I switched my minor to History cause I thought I could make better grades taking History classes rather than High Lvl Biology classes. I took American history cause... well Fuck the damn Europeans I hear enough about them as it is. And I am all about graduating this Dec. and getting the hell out of University of South Alabama and Mobile, Alabama... Fuck both the city and the university. So we are studying the American Revolution and the forming of America, and I keep reading about the lofty goals of the Founding Fathers. They wanted to build this country of freedom where everybody had the rights to persue happiness etc. etc. one of their biggest concerns was that many people should be able to persue dreams of wealth. Is that dream possible today? Oh sure if you look good you can become a rap star or succeed in Hollywood whether you have talent or not(ie Master P, or J-Lo). Even so those kinda stories are few and far between. We're a country of three Hundred Million!!! I keep looking at my W-2's and wondering why do they even bother taxing me. I don't make enough to make it worth it. If I lose 2500 dollars to the Goverment... thats my Car note for the year... having that money back would surely help me with some of my mounting debt problems... and what the hell good does 2500 dollars really do for Uncle Sam... i mean thats like 1 hammer or a toilet seat. What kinda taxes does the guy that makes 15 million dollars a year pay. I pay right around 20%... I don't know how much they pay... but I guarantee you it isn't 3 million dollar!!! Then also why do we have to pay sales tax, gas tax, vice tax, FCC phone tax, and so many taxes that I don't even notice cause I'm just sooo used to them. Countries used to get money by taxing goods coming in from other countries. I'm just so tired of not having any money. I don't make enough money to live on, but I make too much to qualify for government aid. I don't know how I"m going to pay for college next semester, but I need a degree to get a better job. everything seems to be a vicious circle. I wonder if the fears of the Founding Fathers that the Government would become too powerful and act as a tyrant haven't been realized. Is their anyway to change this. I doubt it. Could I start a petition... would it help... would enough people do anything... Even if they did... the rich would just buy off the senators to vote down any changes. Now I'm going to go try and find some food... cheap because once THIS credit card is maxed out I don't know how I'm going to eat.

going to try this again

I have a been a terrible blogger. ::hangs head:: this is why slackers don't run the world. Often I am just too lazy/tired to mess with it, but lately I have been thinking about it and have decided to try again and make and honest effort this time. with that said...

Whatever Happened to

The Newspaper Funny pages? I can remember when there were more than 2 comic strips per page. Now it seems to be an advertising page, and your lucky to get 1 comic strip stuffed into a corner or something. See this is a problem with our country... Too much crap and not enough funny pages. With the "front page" plastered with Terrorists attacks and other sensational horrible crimes you need the funny pages to get you through. Alas, the funny pages are a shadow of their former selves. When the funny pages are no longer funny... The terrorists have truly won.

Work Ethic

Am I the only one that still has one? It seems to be the case lately. How hard is it to show up to work at the time when you are supposed to show up to work. And the really hard part...stay awake for the majority of your shift. This seems like one of those basic "tieing of shoes" type thing, its simple to learn and once you learn you never forget how, but maybe I'm the one that's got it wrong!
Is it a necessity of women to bitch, backstab, and bicker at every opportunity... why can't they come into work... say "hello" and leave. This is what I do everyday. I don't particualary care what is going on in their lives and I certainly don't want them involved in mine. Furthermore why does my non-commital grunt seem to encourage them to tell me more about what the other female did that was so horrible.
maybe this should have been 2 seperate post... but whatever I'm lazy... an tired.

so I guess I will jump on the bandwagon as well. I don't really have much to say, but I assure you there will at sometime be yelling about the evils of cellphones and the people who use them. I'm sure I will have many other rants...some of them might even be humorous. The main perk of course will be the abilty to comment on other blogs.
