So... I've worked 22 hours in two days. Woot.
Let's just go ahead and move that last entry out of the way.
I like how I look in pig tails. I just can't do them worth a shit myself.

pigtails on guys are so cute... my friend back in university had really big poofy curly hair and he would put them in pigtails.
chezgeek:

Sigh. What a bad weekend.
I gotta get me some friends. And I need more girls in my life. I don't mean girlfriends, just girls, they make life better.
I wish I had a female friend who would just tuck me in every night and hum me to sleep. It's the most relaxing thing ever, a girl's humming.

Edited to add an important don't into...

Sorry you had such a horrible weekend. Wish i could throw some love your way in the form of a girl who could tuck you in and hum sweet nothings to you and give you what you need. Your too nice of a man to be alone.. Get out there and meet some people!
Happy Titalating Tuesday!!
pharcyde:
i know what its like. working 5-6 days a week in a restaurant with cool guys and a few real cute girls really takes the edge off tho.

Work ended up being a bit different, we can work extra on the weekdays to hopefully avoid working the weekend. I've worked three ten hour days in a row now. I would work twelve hours each but I can never get myself out of bed to do it. But I have worked six hours so far at time and a half, so, by the end...

So, yesterday I took most of my stuff to the place I am moving to. I've decided that the bedrooms were both too small for me, and will be living in the basement. Now I just need to find a Star Trek costume and learn Klingon. Woot.
The last people who lived there were really old. Everything is makeshift. I can tell someone used to...

Seattle is ok. Just ok. I mean, it's really beautiful to look at in places, it's bigger than Portland. Every time I go there, it just seems like it's lacking some intangible thing. Traffic is suckier, the streets are more confused.

There's definitely nothing wrong with it, but compared to my home, eh. I'll pass.
lilmissmorbid:
I understand it actually wasnt pointed at you but at a few others.
No worries
Happy humpday!

I'll be working an 11 day week starting this Monday night. Great. Oh well, 16 hours overtime at $11.25 isn't too shabby, ey?

Oh, and I saw Big Fish last weekend. I cried a hell of a lot. I'm such a flip of a girly boy.

eleven days?

duh duh duh, duh duh duh...
..."you are now working, in the twilight zone".

devil_bitch:
I am assuming that you meant you will be working an 11 day week once all the hours that you work in a week are tabulated. Like it would equal out to 11 eight hour work days.

I haven't seen Big Fish yet. I will have to since everyone says that it is so good. Don't spend all of your money in one place. blush

So, Minneapolis kind of scares me. It was pretty dirty everywhere and way to busy; not just with people, but the town was just busy, like an overly-stripey shirt. Driving is a chore, and the roads are a bit confusing at first. Maybe with some time I would get used to it, but I don't know. And I never felt very safe, and I...

No traffic, 40 minutes from Hillsboro (west-side extremity) to Gresham (east-side extremity). About 30 minutes from North to South (state-line to Lake Oswego)

There's about 2-3 million in the Portland Metro Area.

It's fairly large, but at the same time, one can easily get most places by walking downtown and taking bus, or MAX (The light-rail that runs through town.
hotpockets:
Obviously, there are different parts of town, where there might be some delelict buildings, but Portland in general is not a city in disrepair.

There literally is no major traffic aside from regular trafficky times like morning and afternoon rush hours (only about two hours, tops). Other than that, there's not a whole bunch of traffic. It's not a "city that never sleeps" so there's not this 19 hours of congestion like in LA or whatnot.

Portland is fairly well laid out, if you mapquest it, you'll see that for the most part, Downtown (NW Portland, inner SW Portland) and most of the town east of the river is all gridded very well, so it's really easy to find your way around there. When you get to the SW suburbs, and into Beaverton and Hillsboro, the grid system fails miserably, but if you purchase a Thomas Guide, and drive around for a month, you'll get the hang of it. The highways are fairly well laid out. The Marquam bridge that connects US 26 to I-405 to I-5 to I-84 (:eeksmile Is a marvel of automotive engineering, and the view of Portland that it gives is simply amazing.

The motto that's on the side of all the city vehicles is "Portland: The City that Works". It's true. It's very clean, green, and photogenic.

Parking can be somewhat of a hassle in certain parts of town during certain parts of the day, but it's nothing that doesn't come naturally with urban-denisty living. Unless you're living in NW Portland, parking close to your residence won't be a problem.

I'm in Minneapolis for the rest of the weekend. Later.

P.S. I got the assistant operater position at work... I'm gonna get a nice raise.

what is it you assist in operating?
dem_z:
I don't understand why there aren't any more folders@home. I might start a new thread sometime. Next week, I'll have to get some exciting wording for it.

You're right, it is disappointing. It's so easy to do. Bah, I'm preaching to the converted. I'm glad you gave me the link.

Huum.... I don't really have much to update, but here's a new journal post. In another month I'll get my 90 day review at work and hopefully get a raise. Soon after I hope to get another raise for being a rockin' employee, but that's not that likely. I hope to take over as an assistant machine operator, which is as good as a machine...

Sigh. Bad night at work. Whole body is sore even though I sat all night and basicly only moved my arms. Sure wish I had someone to help out with that soreness.

to make a mistake you have to be fully prepared to deal with any and all consequences of that mistake. quite frankly you havn't had tons of time to makethem. Go pursue something. for the sake of doing it. You'll get really scratched up.

I gotta get outta this town. But where shall I go. I'd like to be gone within the next 6 months. But if I manage to squirl away all the money I make, that's still only going to be about 5000 dollars. Subtract 5000 dollars for owed money, and I'm back where I started.
St. Paul/Minneapolis? Oregon? Washington?

Last night I went down town with my best friend who was here for a night. Ended up being the same night as my friends show at the local music-type-hangout place. I had told him I might go, forgot that the show was even happening, and ended up in front of the place just after his band started playing. So we went in and watched...
