A customer and I had a good discussion about the karma of pen transfers.

A normal person does not buy pens, they are given and taken at will, always maintaining an equilibrium. In my car, I will have anywhere between 1 and 6 pens in my car at a given time. Sometimes they are the papermate generic blue ones, or the bics, or the fancy...

Mmmm

I care too much about my job. I really do. I get really frustrated when even the smallest things go wrong. It's just annoying. Even if it's not my fault, I'm still the one that the customer interacts with. I'm the face they remember.

Today I dropped a big container of Shrimp Cocktail as I was unloading food out of my car. SPLAT! Oh...

Two words: Tort reform.

Seriously, all these lawsuits about medical malpractice and "unknown side effects" and protecting one's self from their own stupidity has to stop.

I was reading a Yahoo! news story about how the antidepressant Paxil apparently increases suicidal tendencies in children. and Glaxo lied about clinical trials. This is retarded. A girl apparently had cancer in her senior year of High School,...

So, lets seriously give our thoughts to Florida right now. They need everything we can give.

Frances is now about 1000 miles wide and winds are hitting 40-45mph even though there's another 24 hours until projected landfall. This is big, very big.

On a more lighter, delicious note. Does anyone wanna go out for Sushi anytime? I found a great little place over by Washington...

So, a lot of things have happened very recently...

This morning at work, I literally used up my adrenaline supplies (internal, not injected or whatever) for the four deliveries that I did. I did the first three in about an hour and a half from start to finish. They were perfect. The last was a little stressful cause our morning dispatcher is a total dunce....

Well then.

It's been over a week since I turned 21. It's cool--but seeing as I started drinking three years ago, it's not as big as a shock as if I just started last Sunday.

I guess I'm going to court over my car, so we'll see how that goes. I'll keep you posted as to what happens when.

My quest for money has delivered...

Thanks all for the birthday greets and stuffzorz. I've been fuckin' swamped with shit since then, so I've been a little out of it. Thursday, I promise. After the big party. Sweet

Yeah, so she passed out tonight. That's a good thing, right?

So, for some reason, Sundays wear me out. I don't know why--but they do.

I made super-bank today delivering, we were short staffed and we ended up taking a bunch of runs myself. It was cool though.

I went to a PDX:TNG Munch today, as well. That was enlightening, as well as entertaining and satiating (I was damned hungry when I got there).

I really...

Alriiiight. It's almost friday. So that means I get to do deliveries for three days and no painting!

So, we just got done painting a house in NE Portland that was conveniently next door to a crack-house. I hated the house we painted, it was just not in good shape and I didn't feel comfortable with the job I did, but that wasn't my fault,...

Ugh, it's so hot.

Painting is going well, it's long and hard work, but it's fun and rewarding. I'm taking a little break while I eat lunch and then take a small nap before going to another house.

Should be good.

I don't feel very active right now, so if you want to give some conversation topics, I could talk.

Well now.

It's Sunday, and it's gonna be a hot one. This doesn't bode well. This'll mean I have to use A/C in my car this afternoon for work.

These jobs are fun, and they're doing what they're supposed to be doing (I hope) by making me money, but it doesn't leave a whole bunch of time for social interaction or general relaxation time. Hopefully...
