Spent all of yesterday morning, afternoon and early evening sleeping. Nothing was laid out for dinner so mom opted for Olive Garden. I got the five cheese baked ziti and it was delicious. Jus...


I only know about this song from the Cole Porter musical “Kiss Me Kate.” I’ve never heard it from the female perspective.

Tales From The ER

After 11 hours, two IV bags of fluid, four horse sized potassium pills and one librium for withdrawal symptoms I am now officially a non-drinker. My chest started feeling real tight around thre...

So Much For My Absense

1:11 AM I’ve got a fever, really bad headache and I threw up dinner a few minutes ago. Currently stretched out on the couch, fan going full blast trying to cool off and sipping on water. No cl...

Break From Reality

I’m going away for a while. I’ll still read and comment, I just have nothing important or of significance to say anymore. Peace, y’all!

Nappy Time Update

Yup, that title. After a brief few hours of sleep I peeled myself off the couch at seven AM, showered and got dressed for my interview. The Mazda/Toyota plant is GIGANTIC. Anyways, basic questi...

Sinus Headaches

These have been the WORST headaches I’ve ever had in my life. Very painful and debilitating. Sudafed has done jack squat for them, only Tylenol manages to knock them out. In other news I’m on...

Still Sick

The Code

Peace is a lie. There is only passion. Through passion, I gain strength. Through strength, I gain power. Through power, I gain victory. Through victory, my chains are broken. The Force shall fre...

Stir Crazy

I want to get out and do something so bad but moving around too much leaves me fatigued. Still sick, yes. I’ve been going to Circle K for my daily Mt. Dew icee and I did go by Books-A-Million y...

Two Years In... (Update)

3:15 PM today I’m getting a rapid ‘Rona test at Walgreens. I’m afraid this isn’t just the flu or a cold. Fingers crossed that it is either if the two, though. Scratch that… Went and bought a hom...

Burning Up

No, not the heat wave. I’ve got a nasty fever and my body hurts. After laundry is done I’m not moving from the couch except for the toilet and food.

Waste Of Gas

Started getting an uneasy feeling about the interview today. Not climate controlled (never again) and starting at $16 with a top-out at $18.50. Yeah, no. I don’t get out of bed for anything les...

The Birth Of Cool

Schweet!

Been reading up on different BBQ (not grilling) techniques for baby back ribs. Came across a good dry rub recipe and the indirect cooking method. Place a tin foil pan with about a 1/4 of water ...

Eye Scream, Ewe Scream

RIP Uncle Don

Haven’t seen him in a few years. Dementia set in and he declined bad over the last two years. He was 76. As soon as aunt Claudia announced it was her over the phone, I knew. I’ll forever cherish...

Lazy Sod

5:46 PM Been asleep most of the day. My right hip hurts and I’m walking with a bit of a limp. I don’t wanna age anymore. Normally I’d rub it down in Icy Hot and relax but it’s Friday so I’m coo...

Real Monsters

Instead of undead monsters, zombies and serial killers…give us the school shooter series of films. Make it REALLY mainstream. Let’s see some children die. That’ll get the government to care. No....

Schtick-Werk

Went to the Stickwork exhibit yesterday at the botanical garden. Was disappointed to find out it was only one exhibit. It was pretty neat though. Called Roly Poly. Four HOUSE size rolls that ...


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.
