Tonight I did something new to me...

Aside from having a bad day in general at work, didn't do too well in tips, had Xan do dishes so I could cook for everyone. We're getting near the end of dinner and I decided that since Nojuan kept getting bites of spaghetti with his mouth instead of his fork... I was going to do it... I waited for the right moment before I pushed his face into his plate. Luckily he found it as funny as Xan and I did. I managed to get him a second time, which for some reason was even funnier than the first.

You see, I've never put someone's face in food no matter how much I've thought of it, so I didn't know what the appeal was, so I did it. And then when I said I needed a pie, no one could stop laughing for a minute. Possibly because of Nojuan and I both, more than likely, were thinking of this:

But anyway, so I definitely had a blast with that.

Nah, today was just one hell of a day though, especially with me closing at work with someone who's never closed before, and two people who had only done it maybe once or twice.

We didn't get out until almost 2 tonight because the one girl, Ally, a skittish little Papillon lied to Catherine when she told her she and I were almost done cleaning up front. The only thing she did was sweep even though I told her we needed to save the sweeping until after we had done the make line and the dough table since those being done would cause more dirt on the floor. When I finally got done with the make line I just happened to glance over at the oven, I saw she didn't even de-crumb them like I had told her too.

So I had to do that, re-sweep the floor, and mop it before I could finally leave. Even Catherine was upset by Ally lying, and not doing a damn thing when she was there to help close up. It was just hell, simply put.

So, internet went down again, as frustrating as it was. Luckily though now that it's back up I can get back to doing what I do. Including setting up another secret shop for this week. Just gotta have it done by 5-3 so it can go towards my next check from them. Would help if I could get more shops so that it's not just a 60 check.

Oh! In other news, I have to pause this for a moment while I go post a new chapter that I wrote yesterday! Excuse me a sec. Okay, so you don't have any way of knowing, but I was gone for 20 minutes because when I went to post this chap on both sites, apparently on the other I didn't even put the chapter that came before this one so I had to do a double-update there.

But in the actual other news I was going to say before I realized I had to pause, I've actually been inspired a little more lately. I think it's because I've lost a lot of stress off of my shoulders. Usually stress is a trigger to my inspiration, but too much can actually clog up my poor skull. I keep getting chapter ideas to help me move along in this one story I've been toying with the idea of. Hint = it involves the worlds of vampires and succubi coming face-to-face instead of a vampire vs. werewolf type thing that everyone has run into the ground.

I actually need to hop off here so I can write up the info for the secret shop I have this week. Thank you very much for stopping in for my updates!

So last night an accident happened and I feel horrible for it...


I accidentally knocked Nojuan's glass bowl off the table and it shattered =(. He said it's no big deal, but he's so damn picky about his pieces that, no joke, he took 2 hours to pick it out. When I get my check on Wednesday I'm going to take him to get a new one. I feel absolutely shitty for it breaking, but luckily enough, his half-sister Mexi left hers when she went back to FL almost a year ago. We held onto it in case she ever asked for it back, but she has yet to.

Anyway, so can anyone figure out why the government can't back off our shit? Wondering what I'm talking about? Click the link to my right and read up on C.I.S.P.A. for a moment. Yep, this link.

Okay, now that you're done with that, I just want to point out a couple of things real quick, in relation to this line in that article... "The bill sponsors claim that with the increased number of attacks from countries like China, the ability to stop them before they happen is imperative." 

(September 11, 2001 - World Trade Center, Twin Towers Attack)

Funny... That wasn't through the internet... 


(April 19, 1995 - Murrah Federal Building, Oklahoma City Bombing)

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that wasn't either...

Do I even need to find more pics of evidence that other countries, and even people within our own country, don't need the fucking internet to damage us in some way? Neither of those were via internet. From 1995 to 2001 our biggest threats of attacks have been either homeland attacks or other countries terrorizing us somehow. 

We're always worried about some kind of computer hack or computer meltdown without the threat of terrorists. Want proof?


 
(Sadly this goes with the above picture)

The best line in there, that sums up Y2K so you don't have to look into it yourself, was "Most computer codes were not written to go past 1999. Without updating to make them Y2K compliant, they will shut down at the stroke of midnight, Jan. 1, 2000." People seriously thought this was going to happen. We created computers and gave them everything in their programming they would need, and people seriously thought computers wouldn't have been programmed for the '99 - '00 crossover?



Then again, people thought that was going to happen too...

I guess my whole point is, fuck C.I.S.P.A. and S.O.P.A. and P.I.P.A. too. Let ME worry about who may or may not be getting into MY computer. Don't block the web-sites I view just because you want more control over the U.S. People. Don't say it's for our protection otherwise you wouldn't be monitoring food stamps purchases to make sure people aren't "over-buying". Don't believe me? Click me and find out.

Scroll down to where the paragraph starts with "But food stockpiles?"and you'll see what I'm talking about.

I think I've made my point, hopefully after seeing all this you'll agree if you didn't already. I'm going to go find something else to do besides rant at the government.

Happy 4-20 to all my readers who celebrate this day! ^_^ I've got plans of my own of course, but right now I'm wrapping up the form for EPMS for my apartment secret shop.

The guy totally sucked so the process is actually going pretty quick. The only slow part is one of the things I have to fill out says to list 3 things I liked about him. I am struggling to find even one to be honest with you. He did such a terrible job of a presentation that it's making it hard for me to say anything good about him.

I still have quite a bit to fill out, but I just wanted to say this. I hate city festivals. Especially when they take up a whole block of streets and side streets that I use for the deliveries when there are perfectly good baseballs fields and extended church parking lots they could have used. And it's going to last the whole weekend. So until Monday most of my roads close to work, that I use all the time, are blocked off by giant blow up bouncy houses, food stands and other art stands for people to buy stuff at.

Okay, got that out of my system.

Hey readers! So Nojuan nagged me to set up a Twitter acct, so if you want to check that out in case I update there but not here, click the link... That one... Over there -----> Hi!

Anyway, so the tea cup bitch got sent home when she started her shit with me again. I didn't even say one word to her and she kept intentionally getting in my way. One time, the first time, could have been debatable since she said she didn't see me, but then again, I get the feeling she did. I still don't know why Steph's issue is with me, but she needs to cut it out. She's been put on final warning since she messed up and harassed me in front of a manager again.

On the bright side, almost all my runs tonight were credit card runs, which meant it was less money I had to hand over at the end of the night. Sad part? If I had only had one cash run instead of the second one sneaking in as my last run, then the store would have owed me money! I only had to hand over 11 bucks at the end of the night due to all the card tips I  made as well as only having 2 cash runs. Again, awesome!

I can't remember if I told you all about my fish or not... He's a male beta, obviously since I said he, but anyway, I named him Elfish Codstello. That's him below. Anyway, you can see the bee hive in the right corner, only now it's in the left corner.

Earlier I noticed, somehow his beehive had lifted up, and was staying up. I'm going, "How on Earth did my beta lift his beehive house!?" Simple really, and Nojuan figured it out in a snap. My silly fish has been building his bubble nest INSIDE his home instead of at the top of his tank like males are supposed to. We found out that Nojuan was right because when I reached in and barely tilted his beehive, these two giants bubbles came out, and when I put it in after the last cleaning I made sure to turn it totally upside down to make sure there were no bubbles.

Silly beta. Anywho, check out the Twitter, again, it's here, and you can e-mail me now also over here ---> click me!

Alright, I'm being pulled away by Senior Nojuan, so I'll post more later today, at some point... Maybe.

Does anyone think James Bond would have an issue if I borrowed his theme song? ^_^ I'm going undercover today on an apartment secret shop and at this point I just need to get my target on the phone so I can get this process started. First attempt got me someone else though. I already wrote up the stuff I need to remember so when I go I can just get there, do what I need to do, park somewhere and wrap it up. And wait for others to open in my area. There are plenty open in Atlanta but I don't like to even go into Atlanta, fuck that mess.

Xan's folfy butt is lucky I care about him or he would have had to sit in Atlanta for a 4-hr lay over before the bus would drive a half hour to Marietta. We got all kinds of turned around though when I stuck in the HOV lane and wound up on 85 instead of staying on 75. I glanced down at the GPS and was like wait...FUCK! Used it to get back home once we got off 85 though. *warning: Incoming sarcasm* That was just the funnest little drive through the back roads of wherever the fuck we were. <-_->

But anyway, when everyone's awake we're going to take him to the store and get him some food since Nojuan and I usually buy what we want and keep our stuff separate from each others. So pretty much, we only have furson specific foods right now so we need to get him some Folf feed ^_^. We'll prolly end up doing that when I get done with my shop if I could get my target on the phone. I've had trouble like this before, just takes some time. Like now, paused this to try again and got someone else this time, still not my target though. Grrr...

Anyway, got the new FOB CD Save Rock and Roll, and it was well worth the wait for them to come back to us with more music. This CD is absolutely fucking amazing! Hearing these guys back together is the best thing I've heard all year, way better than listening to some of the crap I hear on the radio anymore.

I'm going to go make more tries to reach my target.

Took long enough but Xan is finally here! He was due to get to Marietta at 8, but there was a 4 hour lay over in Atlanta so we decided to just go get him and be done and over with it. So yeah, he's here and we're working on getting him settled in.

While he's currently showing Nojuan what he brought here from FL, I"m on here to let you all know my Folf (Fox/Wolf mix) friend is here finally. Joining me and Nojuan. Hopefully things will work out good and he'll get a job soon. I told him already that he has a week of hanging out before he has to go out and find a job. Once he starts looking I'm not going to put a time crunch on him, cos that's just wrong.

Well, I'm going to eat some foods to get energy before I eat someone's face off.

Okay so I did my shop for BARE yesterday, and I'm currently typing up the report for the Best Buy shop, but I needed a moment to say this.

I'm excited that Xan is getting here tomorrow. He's an awesome guy despite the issues we used to have. More like the issues I used to have with him, which weren't his fault at all. To a degree...

Back in 07-09 Nojuan and I were an item and Xan had the hots for him which bristled my fur. That was the only thing of him he did wrong. The rest was all me and my association disorder. If something massively affects me, be it good or bad, if something comes along that reminds me of, depending on if it was good or bad, I'll react to it due to the reminder of it.

If you dye his head fur black and give him extra piercings, he would be a dead on copy of a large Rottweiler that I was with one time who broke my heart pretty badly. His name was Kevin and it's not Xan's fault but he looks even sounds just like him minus the black head fur and piercings, which caused me to hate him and want his blood painting my walls. Once I realized it though it severed that association for me and we've been friends ever since.

The sad thing is that during that entire time I was pushing him away all he did was hold on so we could be friends. I regret how I was to him and I'm happy for him to be coming here. Well I have to get out of here and get ready for work. I'll be back later, or sometime tomorrow after he's gotten here.
