Two days of posting, one right after the other? What did you guys do to get this? ^_^
I totally threw out my left shoulder, with no idea as to how or why it happened. The sucky part of it is that I threw it out in such a way I can't really breathe right without pain, and when laying down, I can ONLY lay on my right side to make sure no pressure is on the left. I can't even lay on my back because some muscle revolts against it, causing more pain that if I had just caved and laid on my left side.
I'm sitting up to type and all I feel is this steady pressure on my left side, reminding me of what's waiting if I twist or shift wrong. Because it just happened yesterday I have no idea yet as to what all my limits are, because nothing stays the same unless laying down. Certain sitting or standing positions hurt, it's just a clusterbuff of pain.
So, onto a lighter note, who all is caught up with Doctor Who, all the way up to the 2013 Christmas Special? I lucky am! You know, if it hadn't been for living with Sev, I never would have really gotten into Doctor Who. It didn't sound like it was something I would have liked, but him always watching it around me gave me a chance to see it, and it's history from there ^_^,
Anyway, time for me to head off, I have stuff I have to get done before work.

I'm a bit irritated today. Over the last few days, at random intervals, my phone has been telling me this lovely little message: "SD card blank or has unsupported filesystem." IT'S THE SAME CARD THAT CAME WITH THE PHONE!
So I called Straightalk, who I'm usually on good terms with and they're telling me I need to format the card, and if that doesn't work I have to get a new card. Obviously. But here's the problem with that. The Wal*Mart near me doesn't carry the micro SD card that fits my phone. So I ask them if Straighttalk sells micro SD cards, since they obviously sell smartphones, and the answer is no.
So now that I've lost everything that had been on my card, I have to wait until Wednesday to order a new one, wait for it to come in, and HOPE it works. Because if it's just the phone being a pain, I'm kind of screwed because I have no way of affording another new phone again.
This is where I get super frustrated. I had a basic phone the last 4 happy years, and when it finally breaks to the point of me having to get a new phone, the cheapest phone with a QWERTY board is a smartphone at 49 (USD). The cheapest basic phone with a QWERTY board was 119 (USD) or so.
Because of the money situtation I had to get a new phone I had to go for a smartphone. I was content on never having a smartphone and then I had to select one, because as a driver at the time I couldn't go without a phone, and now I regret it. It's erased contacts at random points, now it's having me spend money to use it at full functionability because it blew an SD card apparently.
As soon as I can I'm saving up for a basic phone. Screw this smartphone crap. It's not worth it. Smartphones are obviously for people who can afford upkeep on a phone, and I can barely afford my home and bills.

Technically speaking I shouldn't be blogging right now, seeing as I'm at work, but hey I'm off the clock for an hour or so. Why? Well, this kind of started last night.
Jenny came to me, to talk to me about my hours next week, in regards to Christmas Eve, which I had volunteered to work. She was going to have me open the store, which I have yet to do, but Mike, her boss, said no for two reasons:
1) I haven't had my drug test yet so I'm not officially a shift runner yet, therefore I can't run the store because my numbers don't matter worth anything to the system. I can't do half the shit I need to be able to do.
2) I haven't opened the store yet so as far as he's concerned I don't know what to do.
Okay... I haven't had my drug test yet because MIKE hasn't scheduled it yet, like he was supposed to almost two weeks ago. I'm trying to have him schedule it on one of my days off so I don't have to pay for a trip to Acworth, then one to Marietta, then one more to work that same day. That's $15 for one day when I could spend only $5 if he would have it scheduled for me. Then the only trip I would have to make is to Mariettta. Jenny and I have both been on his ass to get it done and he has yet to. He only has himself to blame.
And it's true, I don't know how to go through and open the store as a manager, only as a driver or insider doing prep for the day. I am learning how to from the computer training I mentioned recently, but I also learn better by doing. So, back to last night...
Jenny is telling me all of this because she wanted me to open, and Tanner to close, because she has her whole family coming to town for a giant get together on Christmas Day. Naturally she wants the full day off, and I don't blame her. Here's why she's mad though. Mike won't let me open, Dylan has the day off, and Mike is trying to send Tanner to another store so that manager can have the day off. So no Tanner, no Dylan, and I can't officially open or close, means Jenny would have to pull an open to close while another manager at another store gets special treatment. I'd be pissed too.
So, how did all of this lead to me mentioning being off the clock? I got really upset for Jenny so, instead of staying late last night to get more computer training in, I went home and went to bed as early as I could so she could bring me in with her to open the store and get that hands on training in. So now I know how to open... Still need the drug test.
I was already scheduled to work today from 4 to almost 9 so Jenny's letting me get a good sized break in before clocking back in. And I downloaded the Blogger app so I'm giving you guys this little blog via the app.
I am going to hop off of here and get more computer training in though.

So, as promised, I'm going to start trying to blog more, and this morning is a good chance to since I woke up well before Nojuan, and I'm able to highjack his computer.
Yesterday...was a very dangerous day... (Props if you know that cartoon phrase. If not, it's from a cartoon that was on when I was a kid, called Rocko's Modern Life. Saw a couple of episodes recently and all I can say is, "My mom let me watch that!?") Apparently I had a warrant out for my arrest and didn't even know it.
You see, back in August when I had my accident I was given a ticket for following too closely even though I hit someone after having a 15 foot slide due to everything locking up on me. I was originally given 60 days to pay it, but after Tyler had cut my hours so damn bad, by the time it was time to pay it, I could never save up the cash for it, so I had to get one 30 day extension. That was on 11-19. Now if you count 30 calendar days from 11-19, it happens to fall again on 12-19. So, with yesterday being 12-18, I think I'm paying my ticket a day early. It's only going to be $123 (USD) right? Nope.
Apparently, what the clerk didn't tell me when I went in to get my extension, was that it was due on the court date closest to being before the actual due date, which in my case was the 17th. The day before yesterday. So, the clerk tells me she needs to call an officer to arrest me since I had a warrant out, due to not showing up to court when I was supposed to and I'm standing there, panicking, on the verge of a major melt down. Thankfully she lets me know that I can pay the $70 fine for not appearing if I want to be able to not go to jail, but of course that $70 was going to go to our storage unit.
Which now means we can't even have our little Christmas tree to pretend it's Christmas with everything going wrong like it is. That was the one thing Nojuan wanted for Christmas, was to have our tree up, and we can't even do that. It makes me feel so down, and there's nothing I can do to fix it.
So I decided to take one the anti-anxiety pills mom sent me, and battled through the nausea/dizziness it causes to finally get to feel numb. I go to work, numb, and all day Dylan, as much of a sweetheart that he is, was trying to make me feel something. Well he eventually did, by having a diabetic crash, leaving me to a full screen that kept growing, and co workers who would rather talk than work. Of course after being depressed by Christmas being stolen by the government, the first emotion I do feel is absolute anger and irritation that never ends for the rest of the night. That lovely little pill was holding everything back and he had to go and shake it off of me.
And, to top things off, take a look at this crap. ----->here<-----. In case you're wondering what you're looking at, my mom, in Ormond Beach, FL, sent me a Christmas package, to KENNESAW, GA and somehow it wound up in NJ. How the Hell do you mix up Kennesaw, GA with PINE BROOK, NJ?
I'm just not meant to have a good Christmas this year, that's all there is to it. It's so stupid that the postal service can't even do their job right. There's not even an address like mine anywhere in NJ so there's no excuse for this. It had the address written on it in 3 different places as a precaution my mom took. She even paid for 2 day shipping and it got there on the 4th day so they couldn't even do that right.
I know, today isn't a good blog, but one good thing happened yesterday. I finally got my manager shirt in, so now it's obvious I'm one of the ones in charge to anyone in the store ^_^.
I'm going to hop off of here so I can deal with USPS on the phone. Someone needs to light a fire under their asses.

So I know it's been a bit, but there is a good reason. Ever since I came to the Baker Road Domino's things have been going up and up for me, as I've mentioned before in a prior post. I mentioned Dylan (ha, was totally spelling his name wrong) had told me I had increased by at least 4000 times. Well, it gets bette! ^_^
So, in this whole, me getting better trip, it's gotten so good for me that I'm actually being put on the fast track for assistant manager. I still have to temporarily be a shift runner, the spot below being an AM, so that on the papers it can show I did all the right steps,and that's perfectly fine for me. It means I get to actually get trained on things I need to know, which as it turns out, I didn't know half the shit I thought I did.
My shift runner training has been going on for about a month and a half now, and with me going to AM when I'm done, Jenny had me go to the manager's quality meeting with Dylan, so that I can learn more. At that meeting, I was so surprised that I didn't know half the things I should. But when I got hired by Mitch, I was strictly a driver, and then when Tyler came in and wanted to cross train, he didn't tell anyone jack, he just showed us how to make pizzas. Even when he told me he was going to make me his assistant manager after Kyle left, he didn't teach me things I needed to know. I honestly think he was setting me up to fail miserably, especially after learning all that I have just in this past two weeks alone.
So just this last week I've either been going in early or staying late, off the clock, so that I can study the learning material, so that wen it's time, I know what to do. But before that, pretty much since around the time of my second to last blog, I've been getting called in early, or asked to stay late, so I could help out since I've become someone they rely on when things get hectic in there, which means I pretty much wake up, barely get through lunch when I get called in, stay there until almost 11, and then go home to have dinner and pass out and start again. Hence, no blogging.
But, I am going to try to get back in touch with you guys because I feel bad for letting this blog go for so long. I just literally could not find the time to get on Nojuan's computer to give you guys an update. As an early Christmas present though, I do have something for you guys on my Facebook, which the link to it is on the side of this page to the right of the blog. It's in an album called Change of Season. I wanted to give you guys an idea of what I get to see everyday, but for those of you who have winter in what is my summer, and summer in what is my winter, this is also a chance for you to see what it looks like in Georgia, US, from November to December.
I hope you guys enjoy it!
Also, before I head off to get ready for work, I wanted to say a quick shout out to Malaysia that joined in on my views. Thank you very much for tuning in, and I'm sorry it was during a small down time. Thank you to all my viewers who come on here and read up.

This is a quick little blog, but if you watch Doctor Who, and haven't seen all the way through the 50th Anniversary Edition, then don't read, this blog is all about the episode. It contains spoilers from Hell, especially if you've only seen a little bit of Doctor Who. More so if you haven't even gotten to The Master yet. Don't read further.
So, based on the 50th Special, does this mean that The Doctor created The Master? Are you confused about what I mean? Well, I'll be more than happy to explain, because I connected the dots as soon as I saw them.
1) In this special all 13 Doctor's show up to save Gallifrey in a single point in time, so that the billions that existed on the planet didn't have to die. So he didn't have to live with what he felt were the sins he had carried out by destroying them in the last great Time War. Now, Gallifrey is safe from eternal destruction.
2) REWIND back to the episode with Tennant as the 10th Doctor, The End of Time, Part 2, when the Time Lords of Gallifrey were trying to return, from the POINT IN TIME they were secluded to. So in their planning, they sent the drums, which are actually the sound of a Time Lord's heartbeat, back through the Time Vortex when the Master was looking into it and heard the drums for the first time.
3) Time Lord implant drums as a beacon that would help them find a way out of the point in time they were secluded in. Fast forward to The 13 Doctors moving Gallifrey to save it. So in putting them there, The Doctor created The Master by proxy.
Think on that gem.

Sorry it's been a while, and I know I've been saying that a lot lately, but there is just so much stuff going on. But, before I start, here's a little plug for Nylabone since they're awesome.
They finally sent Handsome Jack his new toy ^_^! He loves it so much, he fell asleep with it in his muzzle yesterday. He's worn away at it some, but so far it's nowhere near as bad as the last toy. Hopefully this one will last a little bit longer.
So, going past that, one more plug and I swear to continue.
Please please please go here and vote for me so that I can hopefully get a car. I'm still looking for one otherwise, and when you read on you'll get a good look at how that's been going.
So on Thursday, Gary, the guy I had been getting rides from, took me to the storage unit so I could pay on it and keep our stuff, and on the way there I saw a car sitting on the side of the road that was for sale, only $650 (USD). I thought, if I can talk the guy own to $500 then I'll only have to pay back the $400 Kyle said he would loan me, instead of having to pay back him and finish off payments with whoever I could get a car with. So on the way back from paying the unit, I had Gary pull over for me.
Bonus, it's a Camry! An older Camry, '89, but a Camry, and they're one of my favorite cars, and I know they're reliable, so I'm off to a good start here. Guy comes out when he sees me looking at the car, and this is where he dumps a bucket of crap on my parade.
- It has no Reverse
- The engine clicks horribly when you start it up
- And just from touching the hood to let it down gently, I got a wicked oil slick on my hand.
So obviously this car is going to cost me more to get it running right than what I have. It sucks. I know a car is as good as you treat it, but after I get it I would have had to put thousands into it very soon after. And as we all know I don't have thousands. Hell, I barely have $5 bucks to my name. And I would still have to look at tag/title/insurance right off the bat and I can't do that yet so I had to let the car go.
I still have to pay my ticket from my accident that I haven't been able to save up for because of rent and food. Xan's dressing up as a computer mascot and is at least getting paid daily to help with rent until he can get a job somewhere. But supposedly, according to him, he might be getting hired on there as a regular, and he can keep doing the mascot thing until we're good on it.
Some good news though, Dylan, turns out I've been spelling his name wrong, is talking me up to Jenny to see if he can get me moved ahead. He's even started training me on the inventory, which is one of my best subjects in a work place. And I've been slowly getting in more hours here and there. To give you an idea I'm scheduled for 26 hours next week, and this week I was able to get in 20, if I don't get anymore extras, aside from the extra 1.5 hrs I got called in early for today that I have to get ready for soon.
Dylan is also talking me up to Mike, which is even better since Mike himself was actually giving me props the other day. I swear, the minute I get a car I'm getting back on the road, I don't care if I have to double-task at the store as an insider and driver. I miss the road so bad.
Anyway, I just wanted to give you guys an update in regards to how things have been going. I have to hop off of here so I can get ready to head out to the Baker Road store.
