Living Cat Bed

Lily has laid on me nearly all day yesterday and part of today. After I got up to pee Smokey has decided it’s his turn to sleep in my lap. Silly kitties.

Early Morning Saturday

The last few days I’ve been getting up early after only a scant few hours of sleep but have trudged on through the day. I got up at 8 AM this morning, my off day, and made the most of it. Treated...

Greasy Breakfast

I went to Krystal’s and got some of their burgers with cheese for breakfast. Yum yum. Work last night wasn’t bad. Finished up the last of the quick order with two hours left on the shift so I chi...

Need A New Couch

Wrapped up in my quilt, watching the original Terminator. I slept late. 5 PM late. I was so worn out last night when I got off work. Lack of sleep (around 48 hours awake), back and arm/shoulde...

Original

“If there is ever one brain I’d like to see load into a computer, it’s mine. I’m no one person. With all that goes on in my head I’ve become a human chameleon. That’s the only way I can descr...

True Comfort

Hot food in my tummy. Hot shower cleansed my flesh. Heating paid is relaxing my back. And a warm cat is purring in my lap. All is right with the world.

Insomnia And Alcoholism

Was pretty loaded two hours ago. One movie later and it’s 9:37 AM and I’m still not tired… Predatory dreams invaded my sleep yesterday and it’s only a reminder I need to get laid. Time to grab ...

Who Ya Gonna Call?

GHOSTBUSTERS! That franchise has been a staple of my life since I was five and would watch the Saturday morning cartoon. I can almost quote 1 and 2. Hell, I still have my Slimer hand puppet I g...

Dry Cured Meats

Was just raiding the fridge for a snack when I came across a pack of hard salami sliced well over a month ago. Dry cured meats take a bit longer to spoil. Currently licking my lips of my salami ...

Toasted And Roasted

Had to apply some Icy Hot to my left shoulder. Slept funny then made it worse picking up parts out of the baskets and replacing them after machining. I have to bend down around the waist and re...

Worn Out x's Two

Geez, if last night wasn’t busy then tonight was. Flipped one of the parts over to run the other side and that only took thirty to forty seconds. The other was two or three minutes. I ran myse...

Worn Out

Physically and mentally. Both machines kept me busy on my feet all night. It was mentally draining screwing with the part day shift guy set up. Tool holder wasn’t tightened enough and the meas...

Dear Sweet Pain

Lying on the couch, fighting sleep. Don’t know why. My back, knees and feet hurt even after taking some Tylenol. Started reading Hannibal last night. Mason Verger is the most sadistic villain...

I’m in bed for the first time in ages. I usually sleep on the couch. Dr. Gilbert gave me the card of a colleague who specializes in EMDR and told me to check her out. Dr. Frasier. I had to sti...

Scared Of Everything

Seems like everything is getting to me at once tonight. Let’s see…death has been on my mind lately. Specifically mom. She’s no sprung chicken anymore and I’m not sure I can take over this hou...

Hannibal The Cannibal

My right eye is irritated. I keep tearing up and it’s itchy. Annoyingly evil. Speaking of evil, the last two nights I’ve gotten back into Silence of the Lambs. I’ve got roughly 100 pages left. ...


Book Description

I came on my own volition.
I am the man that got away.

Work -
Tonight I clocked in at 4:30 PM and it was suddenly Wednesday when I worked 6:45 AM to 6 PM with only an hour lunch break and on my feet the rest. I was trying to relieve Logan in the back who was frying chicken both for our loose case and boxed hot case so he could go to lunch. Instead I got mixed with a redneck who wanted a Philly steak and cheese. I made his sandwich to order only to be confronted with the elderly gentleman behind him. He, to this shit. o, wanted a Philly. I was annoyed. Angry. Granted chicken side cooking sucks At least you’re away from the customers. I can, “pretend”, like I’m cooking chicken in the back but dick around for ten minutes, which actually rarely happens. You learn to smile and accept this shit. Made him his sandwich, didn’t stop to ask the next customer if he needed help. Instead, went straight to the back and told Logan to take his lunch, I was taking over, box up what just came up out the fryer and we’re good.

It was just one of those days. People wonder why I get stoned before work.

I.
Am.
Robot.

Tell.
Me.
What.
Is.
Next.

I’m versatile.
Put me in any situation and I come victorious.
Even on the bad days.

So when I go the hardcore bitch mode of my assistant manager on Wednesday after my eleventh hour there. I got irate.

I know she does a job for two.
Her boss/my boss sucks ass.
But fuck....I’m part time.
If you want to bitch and yell about the shit that the full timers didn’t do…bitch to them.
DON’T MAKE ME DO THEIR FUCKING SHIT THE LAST HOUR I’M THERE!
I’ve been working for this slave camp for three and a half years.
I lost my insurance last year due to me being stupid and the store manager catching on. Which is actually a big blessing. I haven’t missed a day in a year.

But I’ve been there for every shift.
Sleep, no sleep?
Fuck it.
Show up for work.
The computer takes over on schedule and now I don’t qualify for our good insurance.
I have to take the government stuff?
OK.
I’m a democrat.
Lifelong.
BUT FUCK YOU OBAMA!
Don’t tell me what to do.
I’ll go another year without health insurance.
I want my good Blue Cross Blue Shield Back.
Make my job give me the hours back for insurance.

People close to me say I need to see a therapist.
After A.A. and an almost check in at rehab.
Maybe I do need anti-depressants.

This is a rant with no one I know reading this.
Its liberating.

I welcome ProseBox into my life.
