i'll start with saturday night. I had to work at wright 6:30-10:30, which totally sucked. I was put in the dishroom (again) and i basically scrubbed gunky food residue off of pans for 4 hours. A few intersting things did happen, though.Introduction of characters:
Richard - A slightly odd man. Has a mental disorder of some type. Works in the dishroom. He's funny because when he's putting clean dishes away, he basically talks up a storm to himself. "Ok. Woohoo! Alright. Gettin' it now. Now we're moving. Ok. This one's dirty!" Hardest damn worker i've ever seen.
Billy - Works at one of the food places. Has some characteristics of the typical male homosexual, which is appropriate because he is one. My brother Aaron actually told me about how he worked with Billy at Wright 5 years ago. He said Billy hit on him every single day.
Ok, so the story. While we're doing dishes, the fire alarm went off. Everyone in the food court, customers and staff, went outside. The fire engine came, well, drove by and was told that whatever set it off was done and there was no fire. As we're all walking back in, Richard is holding the door. To everyone who comes by him, he's saying, "I'm the hero! Wait till I tell Mark. I'm the hero!" Later in the dishroom he's saying, "Billy did it! I'm the hero. Billy set the alarm. I'm the hero. Billy's the fire hazard." He continued on, pretty much for the rest of the night. Towards the end he was saying, " I'm the hero. Billy's a fire hazard. Dirty! The fire hazard's dirty. Wait till I tell Mark."
Anyway, we didn't get done with dishes til 10:35. Which would have put me in a bad mood, but...we were alowed to have a free coke at the end of the night. So that pretty much made me happy.
Later that night, we played some golf in the dorm. Then I was invited to have some drinks in someone's room. Pretty much made the night a good one. Corona's and good music behind double doors.
On Sunday, a guy on my dorm invited me to go to St. Charles Catholic Church. I'm glad he did. I pretty much decided I wouldn't go to church unless I had someone to go with. So there it is.
Later on Sunday I went paintballing with 3 other guys on the floor. Heh...this was my first time paintballing, and goddamn that is fun. We had trouble because the first place we went to, which was about 15 minutes away, had closed down their field becasue of construction. Closed for 30 days. So we drove up to Mooresville and went to this totally pimped out paintball place. There were guys in camo-gear all over, runninng with their crazy masks shooting at each other. I swear my first thought was Al-queda training camp. They had to fields, both very cool. Lots of concrete tubs and wooden spools to duck behind. Very crazy. I only got shot twice, once in the leg and once in the mask. So i stil haven't really be hit or anything. but damn, i'm gonna have to do that again.
Worked Sunday, same shift as Saturday. This time i was assigned the dining room, which is ok with me. I basically cleaned trays all night, and at the end tried to kill time by wiping the same tables for 20 minutes. Ended up leaving early, which was fine with me. Cos then I got food from pizza express, came home, ate, worked on some homework, and fell asleep doing homework (which pissed me off).
Damn, long entry. Tough.
