you've got to be kidding me

2008-06-12T21:48:34Z

This has not been my best week ever. Last monday I completely totalled my car. On top of that my depression had gotten really bad over the course of the last month so on the advice of friends I called a call center that my work provides. They told me to go to the hospital and talk to a doctor about it, the doctor got someone from lifeways to come over and the two of them put me on a mental health lockdown and sent me to a psych ward in Bend. So now I can't even file my accident report or figure out what I'm going to do about getting a new car. My glasses were also lost in the crash and I can't even order new ones till they let me out of here.

On the positive side it is helping and I'm feeling a lot better already, they have me on welbutrin and some kind of sleeping pill.

update: they have set a loose date of the 18th to let me out which is way to long. It's not set in stone though and I still have to talk to the person who makes the decision about letting me out. I'm hoping since this isn't voluntary treatment that I don't end up with a huge bill.

update #2: looks like I'll be getting out of here saturday afternoon sometime.

I want one of these

I just found a 3 inch Preying Mantis in my garden :)

I hope it sticks around for awhile

Soda

2007-07-27T06:43:46Z

I've decided to quit drink soda, my gut has been expanding a little bit more than I like lately and I think the large amount of soda that I drink is the main culprit. I'm not sure what I'll do for caffeine while at work now since I can't get any coffee there.

class reunion

2007-07-16T01:17:19Z

I just got back from my 10 year class reunion. I was really surprised to find that I actually really like most of the people who showed up. Haven't seen any of these people in 10 years and it's kind of depressing that I probably won't see many of them for another 10 years. I was almost the only person who isn't married with kids, which is a strange feeling.

Was a pretty good party, we even got kicked out of the elks lodge and had to relocate to a bar.

ok so last year when i was trying to get oregon plates on my car i could not find my title anywhere. i must have torn apart everything i owned twenty times looking for that stupid piece of paper. it took forever to get a replacement and i spent an entire summer and most of the winter walking wherever i needed to go.

anyway i was cleaning out my crap in order to make room for some more crap that i'll be bringing up from my parents house in a couple weeks and there on the floor in PLAIN SIGHT was the original title to my damned car. WTF!!! it was right there the whole time.........................

aaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhh

on a side note, those $30 bookshelves from wal mart actually come out looking pretty good and my apartment is starting to look like a home instead of a pile of random junk scattered around.

i finally went out and bought one of those cheap bookcases from walmart today just to get all of my books out of the boxes and up off the floor. i figured one would be plenty, but it's not even close. I managed to get most of the stuff in there nicely but theres at least a dozen more stacked up on top and i haven't even pulled the two large boxes full of books out of the closet yet.

Michael Bay should officially be shot in the testicles

Whoever decided it would be cool to let this moron ruin this movie should also be shot. First of all he couldn't even get the original voice actors for Optimus and Megatron, however a video game company making a transformers game could. Second Transformers are friggin robots, they do not have mouths and lips. Has Bay even seen the original show?

I must have one of these

bye bye windows xp

2007-02-14T04:08:34Z

Last week I decided my computer was slogging along at an unacceptable speed. So I backed everything, wiped the drive and reinstalled windows xp. Everything goes just fine until I try to activate windows, which I purchased and have only ever installed it one time. The activation screen gave me an error message stating that my key had been used the maximum number of times and I would have to purchase a new one. Now apart from my initial install the only time that key has been used is the multiple times windows has decided to arbitrarily force me to reactivate because i changed my cdrom or put a new network card in. I don't have a phone so calling them up to complain is out of the question, so I go onto the windows website (the activation screen was considerate enough to provide a link to the support section) and try to put in a support ticket to get this resolved. Their website won't even let me send them an email about it without paying around $50 for some reason, I didn't bother to read it all since I was already pretty pissed.

Downloaded Ubuntu, wiped my drive again and installed it. My machine is now much faster than it ever was on windows and best of all it's free.

Adventures in poop

2007-01-23T14:51:10Z

my manager is an asshole, i got called into his office tonight and was accused of taking a dump in a trailer. that's right two area managers and the operations manager gave me the third degree because apparently when your boss yells at you and you yell back then theres a good chance your the guilty party. The day before my boss (who has no idea how to do my job) started yelling at about all of my pallets not being loaded, I was already pissed since he had sent a couple of my loaders home so I had 4 people loading for 8 stores and 1 other guy to help me with pallets. Duh gee why aren't the pallets loaded... BECAUSE SOME DUMB ASS SENT EVERYBODY HOME AND NOBODY HAS TIME TO FUCK WITH THEM.... But what do I know, I've only been doing this job for a month or so longer than you've worked here.

now poop was found in a trailer while it was being unloaded and before they even verified anything my manager puts me up as the prime suspect. I've been working here longer than he has, have never gotten below a 5 (5 is the highest) on a review, I have only ever missed 1 day for as long as i've been working there and i'm the damn prime suspect. I have repeatedly stated that I like my job, I like where I work I have been the associate of the month, been recognized for integrity, gotten excellent load audits back from the stores. But yeah I would go and take a dump in a trailer on a whim. I'm not bragging here, but it really is absurd that he would blame this on me. there is no way the ops manager would suggest me unless my fucking manager pinned me as a suspect.

They didn't just ask me if i did it, they insinuated that I was lying when I said no kept repeating the same questions just phrased differently trying to trick me into confessing. Asking "well if you didn't do it how did it get there?" How the hell should I know I didn't fucking do it asshole. I wasn't even on that side of the damn dock. They hadn't even looked at the security camera footage to see if I had been anywhere near there before accusing me. they also did question the guy who loaded the trailer, but that only makes sense since he was in there. Still he was just as likely a suspect as I was, the guy has a wife and kid to support and wouldn't throw away his income like that.

answering this guys questions i knew he didn't believe me and that nothing i could say would convince him, i left that office pretty much convinced that i was going to get fired even though i didn't do anything. guilt doesn't really matter as much as making an example out of somebody. i don't think it matters to them as long as they can say "see this is what happens when you fuck with us".

anyway a couple hours later when the unloaders at the store had gotten to the back of the trailer they found another pile of poo and with that pile they also found the cat that had been shitting in there. yep that's right, these geniuses could not tell the difference between cat poo and human poo.

And after all that not a single one of them apologized to us, hey sorry we called you a lying poop fiend. I honestly can't remember being this offended. Even in the military where your surrounded by some of the hugest egos on the planet they will apologize to you when a mistake is made.

ah well, at least I'm not fired

i actually baked something

2007-01-19T09:53:11Z

and it didn't turn out half bad either :)

I managed to make a huge mess and dirty nearly every dish i had in the process though.

the size of your ass

2007-01-04T04:46:19Z

ok just because your ass is 3 feet wide does not entitle you to use the electric carts at Wal Mart. You are not handicapped, being a fat lazy cow is not a disability. You can walk, you just don't want to. Those carts are for people who CAN NOT get around the store on their own. Maybe if you walked around the store a little bit you might lose some damn weight. But since that isn't going to happen if your going to abuse the carts at least have the courtesy to not park it in the middle of the aisle while you look at shit your not going to buy anyway......

Dear Santa...

Dear Santa,

This year I've been busy!

In October I bought porn for wbkelley (10 points). In January I helped gnosticdiva hide a body (-173 points). In March I committed genocide... Sorry about that, webtarkeena (-5000 points). In November I put gum in phoenixtx's hair (-12 points). Last month I gave lt_kitty a life-saving blood transfusion (50 points).

Overall, I've been naughty (-5125 points). For Christmas I deserve a moldy sandwich!

Sincerely,
