Thanksgiving

Well Thanksgiving is over, thank you Jesus. It was an especially awkward year for me since I was asked the usual questions, "When are you graduating?", "Do you still work at Wendy's?", "What do you mean you don't eat meat?". Nothing like family to make you feel even more like a looser. By the end of the meal I thought of shooting myself in the head.

Aside from the "lovely" conversation it wasn't really so bad I guess. I got a ton of laundry done for free, I had two days in a row off of work, and I got to see my family. I was also reminded how invisible I can be to my own family. I guess I don't stand out so much. I'm not the trouble maker, or the criminal, or anything that stands out so much. My Aunt Louanne didn't even know I was there for half an hour. Also I find it weird how at every holiday people, including my own father forget that I have been a vegetarian for a decade now. My family is so observant.

The next day I finally am getting ready to leave for BG and get a call from work saying that the grill is down and they are short handed. I give them the best advise that I can on how to fix and spend the next 4 hours dreading going to work. Finally, when I go to work I am greeted by smorgesborg of crap. Nothing is done, service times suck, and everyone still needs a break. At least then I knew my dread was justified. Anyway we got by and made it work with significantly less bitching than the manager I took over for.

Okay, I may be a horrible person

Alright there is this girl I met at church about a month ago. My friends have made sure to sit by this girl every week now. Well this Sunday I caved and did something I should probably be ashamed of. I used Jeffrey, my godson, to get her to pay attention to me. I know it was low, but it really worked. Thanks to Jeffrey paving the way we talked for about a half an hour after church. She even knows about my job and didn't walk away laughing like I expected. My friends and I still couldn't get her to join us for lunch, but at least there is more hope now. Besides I could always pull out the baby again, could you say no to this face?

College Towns Suck

I have grown accustomed to life in a college town after more than four years in BG, but I have admit that I hate this town. The fact that since it is a Saturday night means that I have to be kept awake by screaming drunks running down the street is my breaking point. Maybe at two or three in the morning I expect it, but at midnight? What kind of cheap drunk are you to be wasted and walking home at midnight?

The massive drinking aside I still hate this town. The locals are the most horrible results of inbreeding that I can imagine. I seriously think that someone decided to put a college here as a joke. Really how can one little town have so many people with Phd's and IQ's under 25?

Then my final point of contention is the fact that since this is a college town no one thinks that they need to pay anyone reasonable wages. I understand not paying an unreliable useless person much, but why not the hard working people with experience? Just because you have people who will work for less doesn't mean they are the best people for the job.

I have a car

Yes the time of me calling for a ride to work is over. I found an affordable car. Although it took a few weeks I think I can be happy with it now. I've never not had a car for that long. It sucked. Now I need to catch up with everyone I couldn't see for two weeks, like my godson, my friends, my family, and of course the comic guy at the mall. I haven't bought a comic in almost three weeks now, I think I feel ill.

Also I must say how angry I have become with ABC. Are they nuts????? Lost was only on for six weeks and that was supposed to be a season? Now I have to wait for three more months to see another new episode. It figures there would be some amount of torture invovled in watching a new show, but this may be too much. Damn, I hate that they have so hooked me that I know that I will still wait for three months. Stupid interesting plots and realistic people.

Can you really make me feel worse??

As ever I am glad to have tomorrow off work. After being screamed at for several minutes by an angry customer, I felt like shit. It really surprised me that I felt that bad normally I would just get mad, bitch about it and go on with my day. I think why I felt this bad was that it seemed like kicking me while I was down. My life is going through a really bad phase right now and I just wasn't up to it. I really thought I would cry for a few minutes there.

I hate the people in this town they are just ungrateful selfish assholes. I already have job I don't like, my car is dead, I'm in debt up to my eyeballs, do you really need to make me feel worse? Next time someone needs to take something out take up boxing or see a therapist and leave me alone.

Look out for that ........

As usual when my life is bad it has to get worse. Well Wednesday I started out the day by being an hour late for work. This lead to my district manager watching over all day. I had one person just not show up for work. It wasn't a good day.

Then yesterday my mom and brother show up to help me find a car. I had no luck. Everything I could afford was shit. I know I don't have much money, but come on its not like I'm looking for a buried treasure. Anyway I have to go so I can walk to work now. Maybe my luck continues I may get hit by a car on the way.
