Halloween Update, It's Evil. Stand Clear
Ah, so how long's it been since my last update? Ah, a little while. Well, let's roll through the latest updates in the novel we can call "The Life and Times of The Screwz."
1.) I traded in my Nissan Frontier. You might remember some of the trouble I had with the bad boy but I did love that truck... It was the first vehicle I really worked hard to get and keep. It was pretty reliable when the ground was Sahara dry. So I went out and traded in my Frontier for a bad ass 2001 Nissan Xterra. The vehicle has 4 wheel drive, a 6 CD changer in dash, AC, power windows, power locks, sunroof, etc. It's the type of vehicle I wanted before my Frontier but couldn't afford at the time. I needed a new vehicle to get me through the harsh ass winters and was finally able to get the vehicle I've wanted. And it has a back seat! WOO! Anyway, ere's a few other pics. (1) (2) (3) and yes, that's my truck mascot. His name's Cosco and I've had him for quite a while.
2.) I'm still working at that hell hole Wendy's. It really is horrible. I mean, when I first get to work, things aren't too bad. A lot of times, I'm working with this group of employees, Brian, Jeff, and Alicia, we have some fun. They're wicked cool for only be 17. ;-) j/k. But once it's just me and my closers, things always seem to go awry... I'm not sure why, but I think God thinks smiting includes sending people at midnight to order 20 jr bacons. I'd give him a dictionary but then he'd probably turn me into a frog......Or Chris Rock, neither of which is anymore appealing then the other. But the job just blows. I can't be promoted and earn twice what I'm earning because I'm going to school, which is ironic because they will help Assistant managers go back to school, but if you're already in school trying to become an assistant, you're S.O.L. Finding a job up here in Provy is kind of like smashing your fingers with hammer. It doesn't feel good, it doesn't fix anything, and it's a waste of time. No one wants to hire anyone without experience which you can't really get without working. Ironic, eh?
3.) My parents are moving on the 30th of November. This really sucks. It means that coming down to Connecticut is just a bit tougher as I have no place to really stay. I'm sure I can crash with Steph every now and then but for the most part, I don't have any place to go. I'll have to start spending money on doing my laundry and such. It's very very unfortunate. They don't even know where they are moving to yet. My dad keeps getting job offers all over the south, including Tennessee and North Carolina. These companies have been flying him around for interviews and to tour the places. Unfortunately, they haven't decided on what offer to take up quite yet. Either way, they'll be making quite a bit as my dad will be earning retirement pay from the Navy and a good size salary at whatever job he decides to take. Ah well, this Christmas ought to be interesting.
4.) Steph and me are still together. I love that girl. Unfortunately, we still don't get to do much thanks to my job and such. It gets in the way. I see her for a few hours before work and a few hours after depending on if I spend the night or head home. It really does suck. I know things will get better if I can only get a job up here in Providence and ditch Wendy's for a while (or forever, whichever comes first). She also got a new job at a convalescent house in Colchester. I won't tell you how much she earns but it's more then me, being a manager. heh... And I'm definitely one of those boyfriends who doesn't feel threatened in anyway. I've never been very manly anyway. ;-)
5.) School kind of blows. I hate my English class. I've always considered myself more logical then creative. So I when I was thrown into this honors English class (20th Century Literary Genres to be exact), I was a bit taken aback. In high school, I never once did a poem.. The last poem I did involved roses, violets, and their colors. I find most poems just stupid and meaningless. Most are over complicated, over dramatic, stories whose lines are cut in half as not to be "too long." I think they're stupid and I hate them.......and my English class is all about poetry... Every week, we have a poem to do for homework and I just struggle and struggle through it. I've missed half of the assignments, and we haven't even taken a test so I know that I'm not doing good in the class. ugh... The rest of my classes are boring and kind of suck. But next semester, I only have 3 classes and my last class of the week ends at 12:20. w00ties. Can't wait.
Well, that's all the thoughts I can conjur at the moment. Sorry... Ah well, comment back peoples.
