Soul Searching *edit
Started second shift tonight. Only four of us, three machinist and one fabrication guy. Wasn’t bad. Been thinking a lot today… It’s no secret this year hasn’t been particularly good for me. B...
Why Are These So Hard To Find Now?
Been singing this to myself the last few days. They used to be plentiful at every store but now can only find the minis during Christmas time. I miss the bars that were like six inches big if n...

While I’d like to think I’d be a cool dad…I would completely fail as a parent.
New Turn Of Events
So, my lawyer got it in writing that if I filed an appeal they’d file the motion to dismiss the charges. According to him the old judge would have already dismissed the case but this new judge h...
Court

Dear Mr. Lee, You’re original run on Spider-Man from the 60’s are some of my favorite reads from comics. The iconic character and his rogues gallery of villains continue to capture my imaginatio...

So, I started this new job. I dig it for the most part and my trainer is really good. Overheard today that he’s ‘protecting’ me from the people who get the sheet metal I cut. They’re coming to...
Revelation
It was pointed out last night, while talking about shenanigans my uncle used to get into, that all the male influences in my life have been drunks, addicts, liars, cheats and thieves. As the fri...

I’m not leaving and you can’t make me. The order will be fulfilled. Company amongst old friends. Early nights and this weekend routine. Start anew, fresh again.
2:37 AM
My left elbow and hand are killing me tonight. The machine I’ve been off again on again running has parts that will sometimes get stuck so you gotta put a little force into it. After close to t...
Super Lawyer!
Well, went back to court today for that arrest back in May. Possession of a single joint. My lawyer somehow pulled off a miracle and got the charge dismissed. Now for my DUI charge. My new...
Back 2 Bed

Lazing
Had to work Saturday, it wasn’t bad. Noon to six PM. After, I treated mom out to the buffet we enjoy. I gorged myself on sushi, lo mein, and chicken with brocoli. So good. I’ve been tired tod...

I’ve been reading Doomed by Chuck Palahniuk. Just when I think he can’t get be more…traumatizing…to his characters from book to book, he does. This man is brilliant.
Go Suck An Egg, Betsy!
So…seems no one gave a damn I missed Saturday. My coworker Willie busted my chops most of the night but all my supervisor did was give me his card with number and e-mail address. Cool. Let’s ...
Dumbass...
I overslept and missed work. No call no show. I hope I’m not fired…
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.
