I'm an odd little one

I don't know why I do some of the things that I do.

Wait yeah I do. I do it to get reactions out of people around me. At least I'm kinda shy / quiet around people I don't know.

I say / do some of the most politically incorrect thing that I can think of. Just today, I did something. It was the perfect set up too. One of the warehouse guys almost fell down laughing so much. I don't even know how to put into words what I was doing. Oh maybe I should just make a video and put it on you-tube.

Well setting was this. The apt. chica ended up taking a picture of me. So I was doing my thinking look. Ya know the look with the elbow on the knee with the hand on the chin. So that picture was taken. Then the warehouse guy said that I should show my "play face". Well, the only thing that came to mind was....

sticking out my tongue and shaking my face. I believe my hands were also up in the air. I tried to search for a video but couldn't find out. so, you're just going to have to use your imagination. The reaction I got from that was just priceless! There were three people around me, this went down at lunch. I even fell out of my chair laughing so much.

Well needless to say she called me a lil perv the rest of the day. But every time I said anything about my play face to her, she would smile and laugh a little. I think she liked it!

Oh yeah, I think I'll share a text message that I got today at work.

A guy asks his wife could he cum in her ear. She said "no, I might go
deaf"...He said "been cummin' in your mouth 4 yeas and you aint shut the fuck up yet!"

You know, I seem to type the most about nothing at all...

I'm the self proclaimed winner!

Let me quote you the text message that I sent to a friend of mine today after lunch. So you get an idea of what I'm working with:

Anyone who makes job harder, because they are fucking dumb. Should not be a
superisor.

Yup. Today was one hell of a day at work.

I went from eh, then I was doing ok and then one of my co-workers said "I wish you cared about your work" and then that got me thinking that I didn't really care anymore. So. Then there was lunch, that was nice and easy. I went and turned in my cal grant paper work, we'll see what happens with that. Then one of the guys at work talked to me. Asked me how i liked my job. Talks that start like that are never good. (ok, I think I messed up the punctuation enough)

I said I liked it and wanted to keep it. (ha!) Then he said that I seemed kinda to my to stay to my self. And I have been for the most part. I just really don't care about a lot of my co-workers personal life, or their work like for that matter. I get along better with the ladies at work more than the guys. Then there is managiment, friends and manament can't really work together. At least that's what I think. I hate being someones "boy". Or get soemthing better because we go out and have beers together.

I'm also not a guy to pull my punches. I got so fired up after that talk, I was ready just to walk out.

So after this talk that I had with James after lunch. I went back to work. That's a bad thing for me do to, because I just think about what I'm going to do and how I'm going to fix it. It in turn just keeps me mad. So I thought I'd go back to James and ask him 2 questions first. With no follow up questions at all. Just two. Simple, right?

went a little something like this.

Me:

ok I just have two questions to ask you. We can do it here or in private.

(he picked private...smart move)
James:

ok shoot

Me:

first one, why did you talk to me after lunch. On your own free will, or did
someone ask you to.

James: Didn't really answer, but he hinted to that he was kinda sorta asked.
Me:

ok, 2nd one. Do you trust me here at work.

James:

Huh?

(ok so I might have been talkin' kind of fast)
Me again:

Do...you...trust...me....here...at....work??

Mike:

yeah, 100%

Me:

ok, thank you

(and I started to walk to the door.)

he stopped me and asked why. I said I wanted to know and we went around and round for a while longer. Over all it ended good. So, the next person I went to talk to was the next up on on the ladder...John.

So I'm not going to do this whole convo to. It was a lot shorter and just took place outside. I told him there was a problem with communcation and the lack of it. He said yeah. I told him that I didn't know how to fix it. I said I had no problem talking to him or James, but for some reaon I could talk to Prof. X.

Personaly, I'm just fine not talking to Prof. X. I do "yes, sir" "no, sir" him thought, just because of the point that I can't stand him I make sure I don't say anything mean to him and at least show him respect (I can't spell r.e.s.p.e.c.t. with out singing it). He is one of the worst supervisors I've seen. Not only does he not know the job, in turn making it harder for me. He doesn't know how to talk to people he works with. The guy made bandsaw blads for 25 years, and would still be doing it if they didn't down size. Me, I learned how to build a house in my military school. I can install window blinds.

Well we ended up having a meeting, because of me! Not counting me there were 4 others, 3 of those four are supervisors / managers. The other is the apartment chica.

I know managiment talks to each other, and I hope that they know that up lowbies talk to each other too. So I know I'm not the only one that has a problem with Prof. X and his ways of thinking, or lack there of. This meeting didn't start 'till around 4:30, and we get off at 5:00. Heck, I didn't start talking to James untill sometimes around 4:00. The meeting lasted about 15 min. I did my share of talking of what needed to be done, what was wrong, what was slowing things down.

At the end of the meeting, I got what I wanted...more or less.

Paper work used to go a little somthing like this:
apt. chica --> Prof. X --> Me! (and the crowd goes wild!!!) -->Prof. X --> Me again. One hell of a trip. With all the work we got coming in, he is the slow down point.

Now it goes a little soemthing like this:
apt. chica --> Me! --> Prof. X. Humm seems easier now doesn't it.

Well I guess this is all for my book tonight.

p.s. I got my mail that I was waiting for today.

Masterbation

Well this post will have nothing to do with that!

Geez people. What do you think I'm running here? Some kind of under ground sweat shop? Nope, none of that here! I swear your Honor...

But what was I gonna say. Oh yeah. You got mail. Well I don't have any of that. So hum. Oh I'm waiting, yes. Playing the waiting game. It sucks.

What else to blog about. My first day back at work after taking the past week off? Now what fun would that be.

HUmm I guess that's about all I got for tonight.

550 dollars later...

I got my car working at 100%

Friday I took my car in, as I blogged about it. They took the car for a joy ride...ahem...test drive. Then he called me up with what they thought it was, and the cost.

It was the driver side CV join / axle or the Differential. Luckily it was the cheaper of the two. The guy didn't even have a cost for me if it was the differential. Truth be told, I don't really want to know what it would have cost.

Well the CV joint ended up costing about $350 after it was all done. Fuck, labor was $85 / hr.

Well that only fixed about 80% of my problem.

Today I took my car in, again, to a different place. A tire shop this time. Well long story short. I ended up buying two new front tires, ok I knew I needed them but didn't want to buy them yet. So that was about $50 for each tire, at least they are just lil ol' Saturn tires (ie: kinda cheap). The tires I had on my s-10 were $150 each for the front and $180 each for the rear.

So after the tire shop was done bending my over. It ended up costin' around $200. I do like that shop though, I didn't get charged full price for the tires so that helped some. Heck I could have gone to cheaper shops, for both parts. I wanted to go where I could trust the guys working.

So now I got no money. I even paid for all this my self, so that's cool. I hate having to ask for money. Even more so when I know I'm going to be asking for a small chunk of change when I start my school.

1,100 miles later

So I'm back at my casa. Ended up driving home last night. I wanted to take my car into the shop this morning. I didn't end up leaving Las Vegas 'till 7:30 last night. It is a 7 hour drive home, so I didn't get home 'till 2:30am. It was a nice drive though, not many cars on the road at that hour of night. I had some rain on the way back, even a little snow going over the pass. None of the snow was really sticking to the ground or anything. Just the snow you can see when you turn the high beams on.

All in all it was a good trip. There were times that I started getting tried of being around all that family. As much as the kids rock (3 and 1 year olds), there is a reason I don't have kids yet. The two different lifestyles don't seem to go together that well.

Well at least now I got the weekend to be me!

Oh yeah, by the time I got home it was right about 1100 miles. Most of that was just me. I really need to get a mp3 player for my car.

Applications and more

I don't think I ever had to hunt down and fill out so many different things. I'm starting to go nutso. I'm even eating dry trix out of a cup....mmm good stuff.

I filled out the fafsa junk two times now. I'm working on the cal grant. Ok, so that's about it right now. It's just no fun.

King of the hill is good. Has a little twist to the plot.

So I've been doing a bad thing. I've been thinking of buying a new car. I've been thinking of a low end BMW or a top of the line Subaru STI. I think I'm going to go with the Subaru.

The weather here in Vegas is kinda yucky. Windy. Chilly.

I really want to eat at the Rain Forest Cafe. It has been awhile since the last time I ate there. The food is sooooo good there. So, we'll see how that works out.

I made it!

570 miles later, I make it to my brothers house. That was one long ass drive! Yup, don't want to do that anytime soon.

I can't wait 'till I start my schooling. I can't wait till I blog about my first dive. Oh good stuff.

ok, guess I should get some sleep.

Peace out blogger world!

Road trip!

Not like the movie. Geez, people.

I got a full day tomorrow.

I'm looking at over 8 hours of driving, checking out the college, talking to people to make sure I got everything, over 560 miles. And, I'm still awake.

Well I have to wait for my clothes to dry. it's a good size load so they all better be dry!

it sucks that I have to wake up that early and start driving, but as long as I leave by 7am I should be good. It is going to take a little longer than 4 hours (Google maps says so) to get down there.

I still have to pack. Well, I'm packing as I type this up. So that's ok.

Oh! Phone charger!

Damn I got some really crappy mp3s! I need to fix that one of these days.

No, I didn't buy my mp3 player yet. I got this 512mb one that I've taken to work. It gets the job done kinda. Every day or so I got to delete and re add songs, it's a real pain in the ass. That and I HATE the software that I have to use. It's sooo fucking slow. It is almost as slow as old people....hum....driving, yeah that's it.

a week with out my Cats, I wonder how they are going to take it. LoL the nut just slid into the water bowl. My clothes should just about be dry now.

Ok, I'm tossing' my clothes in my bag and going to sleep!

Oh! 10 days away from work is always good!

News that makes you go...humm

So I got a phone call around 4 o'clock today. The person on the other end playing the "guess what" game. Then I thought I knew what it was. So I stopped guessing, because hum.

Oh yeah, and I'm not going to tell y'all what the news was. Too many unknowns.

So now it got my mind going...what if. Well humm. That's all I can say to it. It is what it is.

Worst case is that it turns out like I think it might. Then just suck it up and deal with what I gotta deal with.

I know I'm not going to get any good replys, because I'm not telling y'all anything. I'm just typing for me right now, well that's what I just about always do.

So....Hummm.
