next week should be interesting. my sister (older) goes in (potentially) to have surgery. she applied for a New York State plan for health insurance (she works for a small company and has none right now) and the doctor is going to do what he can to do the surgery in his office to keep her costs down. right now, she has a "lump" behind...

another day and its below 60 F again (or below 15.5 C). fun times...another day for a sweatshirt. and do some laundry. and pay bills that have been sorely overdue. what a life, huh?

as for my car, still haven't driven it yet. got my mom's Jeep back yesterday...the transmission cooling hose rotted away. and it took the mechanic about 5 1/2 hours to fix...

driving home, pull into my driveway, and sounds like something goes "crunch". walk to the end of my driveway, and there's a metal "thing" (think of a bolt or something) laying there.

hmmm, the end seems sheared off. could be from my car...then again, since I was driving for about 1/2 hour, would any metal pieces from the front end of my car that could...

another fun week.....Raiders lost, but did a lot better than another team (ahem, amateurs, for sure) in my area. damn.....how bad is it when you're "vaunted top draft choice" and "breakout star" has 7 rushes for 6 yards (longest being 6 yards) and 4 receptions for 8 yards (longest being 9 yards)?



let the NFL flame wars begin!

ahh, fun times. work and cooking. it would be nice except the past few days, I haven't fallen asleep really until around 9 AM. which sucks big time. such is the life of someone working the night shift.

and starting to experiment with cooking. my 2nd cousin has been coming over lately to help my mom with a work project....so I'm the cook. my 2nd...

so vandalism taken care of (read my last blog). the "Handy Man" who does the tough stuff was not in on Tuesday (he ran into a deer on his motorcycle Monday). so the store put black tape over the vandalism.

he came in this morning, told him about it. he looked, and went "Time to see if I can find some paint."

later on, he...

so last night at work, some f*cker decided to carve/scratch into the bathroom wall (those walls that separate the toilets) a swastika and the words "White Power"

offended because said individual (assuming male, since it was the men's bathroom) not only damaged the property, but committed what some might consider a hate crime.

so my response...taped a piece of paper over both "carvings" and let...

last night started my "marathon" of five overnight shifts followed immediately by 2 late night cashier shifts. yeah...lots of work next week.

and the most fun I'll have? one of the coordinators (read middle-management) does not have mental firewalls. I tell him something and the image goes into his head.

already almost made him hurl once...told him the 70 year old cashier we have "...would...

so last night, a few students learned....don't piss me off.

here's how it goes.....

the cashier gives me an out-of-state (okay, out of country) license to check (for guy #1), and whispers to me "He's with other people." the company policy when someone is buying alcohol is that everyone the person came in with has to show ID. before people start complaining, as the holder...

more fun with home improvements...changing the light in the kitchen, should be easy, right?

I take down the light....there are four brown wires going into (what I think) is the white wire, and one red wire going into (I think) the black wires.

and the plastic around the wires are brittle......

and let's not even talk about seeing a copper ground wire....

FUCK!!!

so rejected for a Middle School Counselor position (grade 7 and 8). at the school my sister's boyfriend works at. I wasn't even interviewed. I found out the name, mentioned to my mom, and she goes "He sounds familiar...think he either subbed there or his wife works there." go figure (fast process, too....got through 100 applicants to selection in about 2 weeks).

the funny part...the...
