I came into work today, they shortened my shift. I had worked out a switch with a girl who was quitting and picked up her long shifts on Friday and Saturday (when I would have to drive into work from Trenton instead of Ann Arbor -- i.e. having the long shift makes it worth the drive). The managers un-worked it out and scheduled me two short three ( Read more... )

I don't care what you do for stacks
I know the world glued your back to the wall
You gotta brawl through that
I been through that
Been shot at
Shoot backI packed a bunch of my shit up today and put it in storage because I'll be out of a house at the end of the week and wont be able to move into my new one until the next month. While I was cleaning ( Read more... )

I've been so busy denying, That I've always wound up living,
Paycheck to paycheck. Scraping by but hardly trying.
What will it take to get me out of bed,
When half the check goes to rent & the other half goes to debt?
I should be out looking for another job, instead I stumble home.A lot has happened in the last week I suppose. One week ago ( Read more... )

So yeah, I've kind of neglected this thing for about 2 months since I started my job. Same thing happened last summer with my old journal. I just don't like writing in the summer when all I'm doing is working a fulltime dead-end job. There are a few things I've learned in my two months at Meijer though, and while it's not much different from the ( Read more... )

Murphy's Law comes thru in the clutch. In what can only be described as a usual course of events, there was a fleeting chance that this social security card thing would be a problem for me trying to get this job, and sure enough ( Read more... )

I spent a bunch of hours tonight pruning my mp3 collection. It was ballooning to something nearing 3000 songs, and a lot of it was really starting to grind on me. Lots of old hardcore punk/metal that I've kind of grown out of, lots of really bad 80s music, or more recent 80s revival stuff, that I'm not sure why I ever downloaded in the first ( Read more... )

The Pistons won tonight! To be honest, I didn't expect them to pull it out. I thought that Reggie Miller would bring the serious heat, in his (possibly, and as it turned out, actually) last home game as a Pacer. He did, scoring 27 points and lighting up the nets. Too bad that except for Jermaine O'Neal, the rest of his team sucks. Stephen ( Read more... )

Since I had some problems with the pool of bands listed, I took this test twice. I think the results are much more accurate this way. I'm also going to blame the skewed results for Hiphop on the fact that the list really only has rappers and no actual hiphop acts.

FIRST RESULT (Checked every band on that list I've ever liked)

Timmy! Do not float above me while I am drowning in the abyss!I had two job prospects for the summer, both seemed highly promising. My dad's close personal friend assured me a summer job at the airport, for his company. I applied, and filled out the 5 pages of background check, the last 5 years of my life, all with confirmable sources. I was ( Read more... )

B- in Spanish 231. That's what I get for not taking it pass/fail, second guessing myself, and going with "Graded Basis" on the last day. I feel like the grades in all of my spanish classes have been determined by random dartboard-style selection. I've put about equal quality work, perfect attendance, and decent participation into all of them, ( Read more... )
