I didn't even want to go to stupid blogtoberfest. But of course I go, and it is freakin' octoberfest which was stupid and not somewhere I would realyl want to be. I hate german and polish food generally except once or twice a year. The terminal is not rehabbed in any noticeable fashion since I went there illegally when I was 12. It's lucky there is that big hole in the hall where there used to be a door or seomthing so you could go right outside to the port a potties. So to top off going to dumb blogtoberfest which who even made that up as it was clearly not any kind of blog fest. Then on the wy aout of the god forsaken terminal I am at a red light and it turns green and I turn onlyly to only slam into two motrocyclsts, which ended up being two polic cars and igot pulled over. I GUESS THE LIGHT WAS GREEN FOR THE OTHER POEPLE< LIKE IT WAS A FIVE WAY STOP AND i thought it was for me but it wasn't. SO NOW I HAVE A 200 DOLLAR TICKET!!!! I am never celebrating blogging again in any discerible fashion and or that stupid terminal. It looks like it should be in the middle of Iraq, like what is the plan even if they save it. What is gonna be there? You can never heat it, or that is a frekain environmental disaster if you do! And it is around nothing. I mnow there are events there now but like if it was actually refurbished it would be so costly i don't tink you could still have the events like that. Grrr. i hat everything right nwo!

Could I look crazier?As I am at a red light on elmwood and maybe West Delevan I realize I am singing at the top of my lungs "What a feeling" while smoking a fake candy cigarette. And YES all my windows are open. I really could not have looked cooler!
OMG so many things are coming up. The week of like October 11 is gonna be the craziest ever. (e:lilho) and (e:southernyankee) will be in town and it is also the last week (e:beast), one of my best friends for the last 13 years, will be in town befroe getting married and moving to Scotland for at minimum two years but prolly longer if not forever! And I have my PCAT's which pretty decide my whole future as a pharmacist. How am I gonna do it all!?!? Most likely with a lot of class as always, haha!

My parents have a wedding there this weekend and are debating if it is like nice or casual. Is it like a pavilion just like the Noco pavilion at sheridan park or soemthing or is it nice more like Cloks Grove in West Seneca type thing. Anyone know?

I could be wrong Mike, verify this, but I think it is now called Beaver Island Clubhouse.
:::link:::
Looks to me as if it is basically a respectable joint. No flip-flops or whatnot.

Terrified of AppendicitisI woke up at like 1:30 in the morning with the worst pain in my stomach ever. I felt like I had done like a million crunches and then someone shot me all over my stomach! It was so painful, i oculdn't do anything but cringe. There was no way to get comfortable. At first I thought food poisioning or something like that, but there seemed to be no related digestive problems really. I took some maalox and it did not help at all.
That's when I decided i had appendicitis. You see that is what I am most scared of in life. Ever since my 10th grade biology teacher told me that if you don't get to a hospital right away , you die, I have always feared I would die of appendicits cuz I get lots of stomahc aches. I looked it up online and it said you hsouldn't take maalox or drink water cuz it oculd speed the rupturee! WHICH THAT WAS EXACTLY WHAT I HAD BEEN DOING FOR THE LAST TWO HOURS!!! and then after reading all the symptoms of course I had tehm all!!! I was so sure Iwas going to die but still feared going to the hospital in case it was really just like a gas issue or something though it didn't seem like it. AT like 6:45 it started tto subside a little and I was able to fall asleep except I had to get up at 745 to go to work. Which let me tell you , I twas just me and the pharmacist for liek half the day (we usually have like 4 workers) and I had had about an hour of sleep at most and was still in pain. Like it still hurts. But like now it is a dull pain. My pharmacist said if it was apendicities you would not doubt it. Like it would be totally horrible and keep getting worse. It would never get better. I don't know what to do , my side still hurts, should I go to the doctors? I don't know! WHAt if i am raelly tolerant of pain and really I have appendicitis and am ignoring it! It is my right side that hurts. I don't know!!! I also missed school today because i passed out whehn i got home form work from pain/tiredness. Which prolyl means I will fial and nver get into pharmacy school cuz I also don't have my lab book which I need but now have heard it is sold out!
grr suckiness right now

I sent you an email Mike. But it's true, appendicitis doesn't just go away. But if you have pain that bad, it's worth getting checked out.
Oh- and people don't die from appendicitis anymore. Not even ruptured appendicitis. It's pretty much no big deal. ;)

I don't think it would ever occur to me that you (of all people) are super tolerant of pain...then again, you do have bizarre things happen to you. I say go to the doctor and feel better!!

dude I had bouts like that as a lad!
And then the final bout was appendicitis
The previous bouts were easily explained by
1] eating snow or
2] food poisoning.
but in the end I guess it was the ol appendix.
I don't even know if thats medically possible but thats what hapened.
Did you puke a lot or at all?

SO Sick of working shorthandedOk we are seriuosly short handed at work. Like way shorthanded both in number of people and quality of people and i swear everyday we start off short handed and then like 2 people call in or leave early or something. It is out of control. They haven't been partiucularly busy days but when there is noone else there really , it starts to wear on you!! RiteAid has the most ridiculous hiring proocess, my boss has been tyring to hire this girl for liek a month but there are like 7,000 steps to it and another kid who used to work for Eckerd but got terminated after not workkng there for three months didn't get past the preemployment quiz. Thye said he may not be desirable BUT HE ALREADY HAD WORKED THERE FOR 5 YEARS! It is so F'ed up. I hate RiteAid !
james - 09/18/07 10:16
700 steps? Even at a gross exaggeration that is ridiculous.
Can you read? good
are you legal to work? good
are you high? Well, that wont be a problem here. Welcome to rite-aid!
it should be that easy.
And why is the manager letting these people leave early, and keep calling in?

Dear Mike,
I'm just going to throw this idea out there for consideration. Maybe with your fancy private college education you are too good for employment at RiteAid. Just food for though..

LOL, somehow your blog seems more hilarious than ever before.
to answer your question nearly 4 years later: it was illegal because it was closed up and boarded up and dangerous and falling apart...so like basically how it is now except cooler
Why is it illegal to be at the terminal if you are 12? Is it some kind of a themed club or something similar? Confused. Or is it because of heating issues?
