I saw Elvis alive and bright, So I killed him to make History right
Well I have had an intresting life lately. My adventures never seem to stop, Whether I want them too or not. "Nick things always seem to happen to you, Some of the stories you have told I wonder if it happens to normal people," Thats what Matt told me the last time he was down here. Its nice to know that my life and stories resemble that of the movie Big Fish. Thats ok though, It makes my scrapbook really fun to make and I always seem to have something to say. I got admit sometimes Its hard to keep dealing with shit coming down on you so bad but like I said its always a good laugh afterwards when its all said and done.
As I was saying shit always seems to happen to me. I should feel special about it too, The way I am almost led me to be the first one to almost burn Publix on Bloomingdale and Providence down. Thats how much I kick ass, Thats right folks I started a fire the other day. The funny thing is after I started a fire I kept my job. Isn't that awesome? It all happened when I was closing the kitchen one night. Robyn walked up to me and asked me I f iwas opening the kitchen the next day. I told her that I was and she said well thats fine but you have to change the oil in the fryer. Well I had no fucking idea how to do this but I thought I would ride it out. You see this is were the shit usually starts. I don't know what I'm doing and I know something funny is about to happen. Well when I got to the store bright and early the next day I asked Diane how to do this. You know for a Assistant Deli Manager there are alot of things Diane doesn't know. Well anyways it doesn't matter Diane is still pretty fucking cool either way. Well she didn't know how to do it so we decided not to fuck with it until Monica got in at 2. Well when Monica found out she had to show us how to do it she got really pissy. Well I didn't care either way I just wanted to see how to do this just in case I get asked later down the road. So Monica started showing me how to do this. Then I realized something that I always realize when it comes to alot of things and that is that I don't care(this is why I get into even more trouble). So while she was explaining all this to me I started thinking about how funny it would be if I started doing Jumping Jacks in front of the customers. Well she finally drained all the oil out of the first fryer. It filled up three big ass buckets. She told me to go take them out to these barrels of Cooking oils outside. So I started taking the float with these big ass buckets outside. Keep in mind this Oil was still extremely hot, probably ranging from 300 to 400 degrees. Carrying it through the store with kids running around being pain in the asses that they are on a Sunday probably isn't a good idea. Oh well I decided to chance there lives and take the oil out anyway. I got outside and to the barrles. I lifted the barrell and the stench of the cooking oil nearly knocked my ass backwards. Thats some pretty foul smelling shit. Well I haul the buckets back to the Deli and Monica starts explaining the cleaning procedure. Well after we cleaned it out she was trying to get the water out of the filter. She accidentally turned it back on to cook and coils were heating up. and there was still water at the bottom of it. As we all know water and oil do not mix. Then came the words, try it in slow motion "NNNNNNiiiicccckkkk fffffiiiiilll uuuuuuupppp ttttthhhheeee ffffffrrrryyyyyeeerrr wwwwwiiiiitttthhhhh oooooiiiilllll. So I walked over and got the oil and just started pouring it in. I put down the big jug of oil when I heard something weird in the fryer. I looked and I saw a flame shoot up and dissappear. I didn't say a word at first hoping that was going to be the only one. Then I saw a second one. Then a third, then a fourth, then a fifth, The time between each flame was growing shorter. So I turned to Monica and I said in a very very calm voice "Monica I have a question," Monica replied with "What Nick? I'm busy" I said "I understand but is it normal for the fryer to be shooting out flames?" She looked up and looked at the fryer. she goes "WHERE THE FUCK IS THE LID?" I shrugged and said "I don't know" she yelled "FIND THE FUCKING LID" I did a Military salute and said "YES MAAM" I ran around the deli and found it. I ran back and slammed it on top of the fryer before the fucking thing went up in flames. we drowned the fire out and she looked at me and said "Do you take anything seriously?" I said "I guess not" she said "Not even a fire" I walked up and put my arm around her shoulder and said "Monica when you're someone like me you just got to learn to accept these things why? just because they keep happening. She looked at me and said "You are one weird kid," I nodded and said "Yes, I am, I sure am. Then I realized my shift was over and I went home.
One thing I have figured out about my store is that because our volume is so shitty that they don't want to give any of us raises. They have been finding excuses to write me and other associates up. I mean I'm getting really shitty write ups. I walked into work today and I got another write up. I got written up for not having a belt. My mouth dropped I was like what the fuck? Now on every write up I get I state a defense so the can't do shit with out asking me about it first. Robyn said in a snooty voice "I don't think you have a defense for this one," I laughed I said(now keep in mind I don't get an attitude with anyone if I can help it, but sometimes when i'm being attacked I have a tendency to go all out) "oh I don't do I? Where should I start? Let start with the fact that not even my training coordinator said I needed a belt first of all, Or how about the fact that I have worked with Publix for 6 months now 5 of them with you and this issue never came up before. Its also funny that you have these critques near my second evaluation time as well". I said "whats it going to be next time Robyn? Is my Apron going to be to blue? Or my shirt goin to be too short?" I got to admit sometimes I need to keep my mouth shut but I had enough. Thats why I said what I said and I did say that word for word. She actually didn't seem really pissed about it I mean I didn't say it in a disrespectful way or anything. She actually said she was happy I finally came to her with a problem (seeing how I haven't done it since I started working for Publix) So she said she would look over the policy for me before she turned it in to Hightower. Well first of allI know she isn't going to do that I don't know why i'm lying to myself that she will actually do that but thats ok. Its really time that I should move on, the Deli is way too fucking stressful for my taste. I will admit that the Deli has taught me the value of working but its time to move on, I hate fucking going there every day. So I will either try to change departments or find another job.
---Enough about work---
When Pirates of the Carribean came out me and Matt went and saw it. Well we thought the movie was bad ass. As we were driving around afterwards we thought of an idea of a Pirate RPG. Well we talked about possible situation the battling system etc. Me and Matt have tried to put an RPG on before. Our Gundam RPG I personally thought rocked. What dragged us down was shitty people got involved and we really did kind of rush into things. Well he has started making the Pirate RPG. Thats cool with me, that can keep me occupied until World or Warcraft comes out. The MMMORPG thats going to rule over Everquest and Final Fantasy 11. Matt has really kind of of went down on this RPG by himself but he asked me for help, Which I thought I was really cool. I was like sure I will help in any way I can. I have been mainly trying my best to keep him brain storming so we don't have another flop. One of the problems we had the last time was Sparring. Sparring is were you make one move that doesn't do any damage and have the other guy submit so you both get stat points. Thats a real cheap way to get ahead of everyone. We didn't catch that and 2 guys did it so we banned sparring. Thats were the problems really started occuring. People started being real pains in the ass. So hopefully this RPG will be awesome. I have faith in it, It does have alot of potential. Trust me putting on an RPG like this is going to be very difficult. Alot of work has to go into it. We have to keep it around the time era and make sure it fits. It should rock once it gets done though.
My friend Ashley actually asked me If I wanted to drive with her to Orlando on Wednesday. I was like why? she said it was because Chris Jericho is going to be signing some place. I was like what the hell? She actually wants me to drive my ass all the way up to Orlando to meet a studio wreslter? I think I will pass on that. the only way I would drive up there is if I could stop by Lego Land. Which by the time we actually got his autograph the store would be closed. So I said I think I will pass. Luckily Diane changed the schedule around so I have to work on wednesday. Its nothing against her I just think its retarded to drive all the way up there for that shit. I mean am I the only one?
Oh well thats all I really have to report for right now. I probably do my usual Valentines day post, Although I doubt it will be as fun this year as it was last year but oh well.
