Battling Bees Full Time
Both the last two nights, I got home from work, took shower, ate, took a "nap," woke up the next morning on my bed with my lights and radio on at 6:20am and had to hurry off to be late for work at 7:00. Consequently I haven't had time to even check my email in two days, much less make a livejournal entry. Today I got off around 5:00 (see below), and slept from 5:15pm to nearly 10pm.
I got to carry a Saki Monkey from a cage we were evacuating in the Santa Ana zoo to fight bees in on Monday. We removed two Saki Monkeys and a Brazilian Agouti in large pet carriers. The cage smelled like monkey ass. Literally.
Today Jeremy dropped me off at the shop early because his last two jobs were in Huntington Beach near where he lived and he didn't want to have to come back. He instructed me to mop the floor, clean the bathroom, and hang out till five. I was done with the former two tasks by 4:15, and from then till 5:00 there was nothing they could possibly have me do -- the shop was totally clean and its not like I can go fight bees without a truck. But I'm on salary so The Man feels like he owns me at least from 7-5 every day, frequently longer. God forbid I should get out with less than a ten hour day, I don't understand why one would keep me there for no reason other than because they can. I'm not benefitting him sitting there waiting for 45 minutes. Why does one have to unnecessarily make working feel like some sort of punishment?

Two Years Ago Sunday: False Sense of Urgency - Gas prices jump from $1.63 to $1.83. Hah. What are they now, $2.63?
Two Years Ago Today: I Saved Four People's Lives Today, What Did You Do? - and the other deep water guards, I don't play their reindeer games. I've been trying to get one of the many people I still know on the "inside" to get me half-priced discount tickets to visit the park this year. Its surprisingly difficult to track them down.
Year Ago Monday: All the ladies swoon for emo boy - RECENTLY DECLASSIFIED - I post another picture post from an evening at Diedrichs, and all the ladies go a swooning over this one boy. Frankly I don't see what the big deal with him is, but it led to...
Year Ago Yesterday: For the Ladies - Back by popular demand, more pictures of Mike Dionne, Daniel Harnack, and Daniel Hetchel. No offense to the aforementioned but you ladies have weird taste in boys. Also, in polling on who exactly the most attractive male photographed here was, boys voting for themselves wins by a landslide.
