Work It

I started today at my newly acquired job at a corporate catering company. The people are nice enough, the work is slightly intense, and the pay is decent with a nice 1 to 2 hour long lunch/downtime. But man did my back and feet hurt! A good rub down with Bengay and two Alleve helped the sleepless muscles relax and feel better though. The schedule is both good at bad. It's Monday through Friday from 6:30am to around 4pm. Good because I never work weekends or nights, bad because I should be in bed by 9 or 10pm for a full 8 hours of sleep :-S That is really, really, hard to accomplish. It all just pushes me towards a new living location near USF though, since the place is right down the road from it. Plus Vivian is going to be attending there as well, and Martel showed interest in moving in with us too, if it was close enough. Now I just have to start getting paid, pay off the past due bills, and get enough for a deposit and 1st months rent going. Here's hoping for more better luck!

Just to see what happens.

When I said I didn't ride roller coasters, I think I lied.

FUCK.




My life just seems to be one big, annoying, slightly life-threatening fucking roller coaster going up and down and all around all the time. Every time things start going well and I'm going to be able to start getting back on track or better, GIANT 100ft DROP!
I don't know how much more of this ridiculous shit I can put up with. And it's not even all my fault either. I mean, it's not my fault that my boss' mom is sick and dying and the cafe wasn't making much profit anymore until of course the day after it's decided it will be closed down. It's not my fault the guy didn't bother to tell anyone until 2 days before the closing date so that we might have a heads up and try to take advantage of that whole "it always seems easier to find a job while you still have one" situation.
But you know, it was ok. We weren't paying any rent and most of the bills had already been paid for the month, and Michael was still working.
GIANT DROP AND GRAVITY-DEFYING LOOP!
Michael gets fired without given cause or warning, except the new guy who was apparently hired a few days before to replace him, despite Michael directly asking the owner if he was going to be fired or if there was anything he should do any better than he already was and getting a "No".
Now to try to find any kind of job paying anything.
And avoid the thieving "landlord" illegally renting the house that wasn't his anymore and is being forclosed upon any month, because we said fuck you in Seattle, WA spending our hard earned money on Starbucks we aren't paying you anymore, and you can't even evict us either. Of course he doesn't know that yet.

I'm Still Alive!

Barely....

Pretty Pictures

Stumbled across this site/blog with lots of interesting illustrations and art. This piece is actually a paper cut-out! That definately takes a lot of patience and finesse....but it's inspiring. 

Spray on Condoms....

Something about that is just....weird. Not to mention, if its so tight to your skin, where does the semen go? >_>

Interesting nontheless. 

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!

Hope you have lots of your favorite foods and activities without too much drama!

Finally...

I finally got a job. It's part-time at a little independent drive-thru only cafe but it's something. I also had an interview at a frozen yogurt cafe today and I might be hired there for a 2nd part-time job if I'm lucky. Also, Michael is actually getting full-time hours with the new owner who took over his store so things should be improving shortly.
