I thought I'd paint the stairs to the basement to make them look a little less creepy. My plan was to leave the center of the steps clear and just paint the sides, then vice versa the next day. I finish the top step and decide to call it quits for the day. Then... Boom-shaka-laka! The entire contents of the nearly full gallon of paint went crashing down the stairs. More specifically it seemed to land primarly right down the center. Mmm-hm. Took me another hour to clean that mess up. Weee! Wouldn't be me if it didn't happen :)
My thought for today: Why is it almost impossible to shake a bugar from your finger? It just moves to the next finger and back and forth. I think I want to investigate the glue like properties of snot and turn it into super glue. It seems to work better.

if, while driving down the road you happen to notice someone rubbing their index and thumb out the window in a manner which would be most 'bugar' like.... do you honk to be sure that said person knows that you know that they were diggin for the green gold nuggets, or should you laugh silently with your private knowledge?

i've never seen anyone spell it bugar. i guess that makes sense, it would rhyme with sugar then, but i would have spelled it as "booger". not that i write the word too often.

i'm still at workCategory: america fuck yeah
Punk-shit-cock-sucking-mother-fucker-what-the-FUCK!
My 'contract' ended 2 weeks ago. I graduated 1 week ago. Yet here I sit, UNPAID, doing work. My fault, I know. I should just tell them to go fuck themselves. I almost did when my boss walked in today and said to me, "Well, you can come in tomorrow can't you? You have to help Nina learn this stuff since you came in late today and she didn't get a full 2 hours with you."
I shit you not, that's a direct quote. Let's start with A: I don't work here anymore! B: Since I do not work I do not have a schedule. C: I told you I would be here between 11am and 11:30pm, I showed up at 11:15am.
That's it. Tomorrow, I'll show up, for 1 hour. I'll show Nina everything that is laid out for her. Everything that is so up to date and even planned ahead that she doesn't have to do anything. I even left her my 'Pearls of Wisdom' folder that has all my secret cheat sheets I created after learning thing the HARD way. Grrrrr.
I found a lost picture from Orlando. Carey and I were waiting in line for the Shrek 4-D show when this dude wheels his kid up to the buggie parking zone and just walks away. The kid is tucked in the middle there.

I have great references - but thanks for planting doubt in my head that my job will fall out from under me!

Try to think of it as trying to cultivate a good reference you can fall back on if Qatar blows up in your face. Because if you think about it any other way, it probably will end up driving you insane.

Well I could say well that is Canisius for you, but that dosn't help much but when I went there, there where some issues but I comuted so I'm sure there is a lot I didn't know about. I guess the real issue to think about is why warn't you training this person a month before your contract ran out. The other issue is was who ever you replaced did this happen to them. I know you may not give a fuck since you are leaving but it would be good to let them know how you feal that way when this person leaves (i assume) in a few years they don't get fucked the way you are. I know you are upset. I assume that you will train here good in the time you have so that the students don't suffer.

you're invited to the partyCategory: potpourri
I woke up this morning, sweating, heart racing - I had another bad dream. I opened my e-mail and read the following message:
"Are things now cold with us? You must know our relationship is at an end. I was being gentleman to not speak until you realized. Realized and then apologized for it."
I'm so sick of these dreams. Who is this phantom writer that likes to send me rain parades? Is it me trying to thwart my feelings about people? Is it my intuition speaking for other people? It didn't end there. Upon reading this e-mail the room I was in started to flood. Almost immediately water was at my neck. I tried to swim but the current pushed me against the far wall. The room continued to fill and I was desperately gasping for one last breath at the ceiling. If my phone hadn't woken me I am certain I would have drowned.
Here are some random pics of recent days. Enjoy.
carey and i made voodoo dolls
rick and i stuffed ryan in my trunk
that's a big match
i graduated, again...that's my dad and nephew
carey took me to dinner at fridays to celebrate
we both got sick because of their skunktified health code violations
my nephew ate yams and his nose turned orange
celebrations with kook
lilho had a yardsale
and my friend jay sent me this pic from his ruby match. that's hot.

it was so bad I wanted to puke in my cup of pop (see pic, haha). Fridays are normally good in my book, but the one off chippewa is just nasty.
oh god, my stomach is rolling just thinking about it.
mmmm rugby players.

For some reason June 2nd sounds like something, but even if I'm doing something I will be there for sure. That picture of Ryan is funny. Sorry you two got sick from Fridays I never have (that I can remember) I love that place, yeah I know it is chain. But that being said all the chains still have local people who work there.
