Wow folks. Soooo....lots and lots has happened in my time away.
I was laid off from work for six months. I'm back now, yeah! I had a job the Monday after Cooper laid me off, but only went two days, 'cause it was fucked up. It was at this shop where no one had any idea what was happening. I asked a team leader a quality related question, and she told me, "We don't have "quality" here." HUH?
Then I asked how to find a part number for a part that I was to be running (because every piece of paperwork is started from scratch), and <i>no one</i> could tell me. Not even the team leaders! I was so out of that place. Then I got another job a few days before Cooper called me back. That was horrible. The forman made me cry twice. He came up to me one morning with a piece of paper and asked how to spell my last name. I told him, then realized he was writing me up. I was so taken aback, I asked him what was happening, why he was writing me up. He got pissed and asked "What is different about today then any other day this week?" I was speachless, I said "I don't know, was I supposed to come in early?" He just kept writing. He thought I was working tens, when I was only working eights. He didn't believe me when I told him that, my team leader had to tell him. He didn't even appologize to me, just said "Oh, well, then you're okay." The other time I was pushing parts from my job that I had just finished to the next cell they needed to go to. They were really heavy, and it was taking me a bit to get them there. He stopped me and said, "You know, I'm not looking for people who are going to just stand around. I'm looking for people who are going to work." He walked away and let me struggle with it. Thank goodness Cooper called me back after eight days there. I hated it.
That first week I was laid off was so bad. I got that crappy job, where no one knew what was going on. The second day on that job I ran over a nail on my way to work (a half hour from where I live) and had a flat. It rained all day and I was changing my tire by myself in the parking lot after working a twelve.
That night I came home, and was sleeping (because I had to be up at three since my shift started at four thirty) when Marry came into my bedroom. She was freaking out "Penny!!! Penny, oh god, Penny! The stove in on fire!" 
So I broke out the ABC Fire extingisher and put it out. We live in a tiny, tiny one bedroom apartment and everything was covered with that yellow dust from the fire extingisher. So we stayed up 'til three cleaning, and I tried to call in but got some guy's home number from the phonebook. Poor guy. When I woke up that day my ear was killing me. It hurt so bad, to even breath. I stayed in bed and cried. I went to the doctor the next day, and she told me I had a bad ear infection. 
That week was so bad.
Alright, other things that have happened. I got a new car! There is a picture in my folder. My brother hit Baby Adwoo, nothing big, just busted the lens on the driver's side headlight. I was looking for a relacement, but even the junkyards wantted one hundren dollars for just the one headlight. I know they are a pretty penny, but damn. I was so pissed, I just decided to get a new car. So I bought a '99 Cougar. It is so sweet. I adore it. It is a stick shift, and I've never driven one before. It is sooooo much fun though, driving that baby around.
Ummm.....had a great boyfriend for about a month. He dumped me for a Suicide Girl/stipper
I think she is pretty cool, from what I've seen/heard of her. She is a whole hell of a lot like me, so I can understand. I just wish he wasn't a douche bag about it. He said he couldn't be with me because he couldn't give his whole heart to me. He said he wantted to be with me, but couldn't do what he wantted to do, and it was killing him that it was hurting me. Told me he couldn't ask me to wait for him, but he wants me to......what gets me though is that he <i>can't</i> be with me, but he can be with her? Ugh. I'm so hung up on him, it is rediculous. We are friends and all, but I miss him like mad. I haven't seen him in sooooo long. It isn't the same, texting and e-mails, and an occastional phone call. I feel like I'm losing a really good friend more than I feel like I've been dumped.
Other things, I'm not blonde anymore. Medium/light brown. I dig it, but I need to do something with my bangs. the slanty bangs aren't my thing anymore. I like the really short short ones, but my hair is curly and will not look good like that.
So, now I'm working lots. Binge drinking, dancing like maniac, haning out with friends, throwing a Tie Dyed Trash Can party on Saturday (woooo! Good times!), and looking for a good time.
I'll be in Grand Haven the weekend of the ninth, if any of you folks from around there want to hang out drop me a line.
