[music] Belle and Sebastian - Mary Jo

At pay-less we have new time clocks. They are finger scanners, which is apparantely another name for "pain in the ass." They don't work half the time. One person consistently has to try it 25 times or more. Although I'm alright at it, it's still a waste of time. The worst part is you can't take your 2 fifteen minutes breaks consecutively. You have to take one, clock back in and clock out again for your second. Like I said, pain in the ass.

The fall of Blimpie-enjoyment is coming. Jordan already quit and found a new job, which he soon quit. I believe it went somethign like this:

He was working at Pizza King and he asked his manager if the schedule was ready. For no reason the manager goes "alright if anybody else asks about the schedule they are fired." So he doesn't. Bare in mind this is the last day of the week, so he needs to know if he works the next day. So he doesn't ask, and the next day the manager calls Jordan wondering where he is. Jordan is like "you said you'd fire anyone who asks about the schedule" (and I can totally see Jordan having this conversation). I guess they quasi-argued, not so sure, but Jordan eventually says "Well why don't you go ahead and fire me." Classic. The manager conceds he messed up, and i guess his record says that he quit giving 2 weeks notice, so no hard feelings.

So that's that

Also, this is Ben's last week, as he found a job at a corrections facility. It's great because he'll be making more money and it's in his field he's studying, criminal justice. It just sucks because that means I have to work 2 more weeks with no 'cool' people, namely Ben and Jordan. ah well. It's only 2 weeks. Not too bad.

That's all for now.

So long!

New design is done, for the most part. yay!

Also, I updated Acupicture2! Amazing! Progress. We will prevail.

I created my own template for Picasa, so it's now unbelievable easy (that's is my second use of the word 'unbelievable' in about 60 seconds) to update acupicture.

And last but not least, Dido is unbelievably hot.

aloha muchachos

As in my last 3 or so posts, I've been working lots lately. Nothing new, nothing major. Tonight is my first night off after 7 nights in a row, and I can tell I need it. I'm tired already and it's only 9:30.

Like I said, not much else has been happening. Seems like my entire life is consumed in working :( ahh well. More money for Europe I guess.

I'd kinda like to do something tonight and tomorrow. I'd like to go out of state somewhere. At least out of town. But there's no place to go, and nobody to go with. more sadness.

I'm not really sad or upset or anything. I'm nothing right now. That seems about right.

Anyways, that's all for now. Notice my new layout? It's not done yet.

So long!

Adam
