| To this day, I cannot figure out how we got a 1000lb furnace into the back of one of our work trucks...without anybody breaking their back.
Insane.
And 120 gallon water heaters are huge! Why would you need one that big for a condo?!?
Man, the stuff I see at work...makes me want to become a minimalist. | comments: 2 comments or Leave a comment   |
| So here's the situation...
Boy and girl, (who have a kind of working/flirting relationship) are at work, they go to lunch. Girl offers to pay for her part of the bill, but boy takes check and pays for both. Girl is both surprised, and a wee bit flattered.
*Fast forward a week*
It's lunch time again, and boy and girl are out eating lunch together...again, except this time, there's two more coworkers along. Bill comes, everyone reaches for money, but boy from last week tells everyone he'll pay for it. The three (2 boys and same 1 girl) are very surprised. And girl is again, a wee bit flattered. :)
So, should girl look into this more? Or is boy just being uber nice?
Oh, and damn the summer for being almost over. Where did it go!? | | comments: Leave a comment |

| Four Jobs I've Had: Drycleaning clerk, Wal Mart Associate (agh!), Big Y cashier and Got Junk junklady
Four Movies I Can Watch Repeatedly: Face/Off, Phantom of the Opera, Dogma, The Fugitive
Places I've Lived: San Antonio TX, Nashville TN, Pontiac MI, Windsor CT...and I guess Richmond KY?
Four TV Shows I Love: House, The New World Zorro, Farscape and CSI
Four Places I've Vacationed: San Antonio TX, San Fransisco CA, Denver CO and Myrtle Beach
Four Sites I Visit Daily: Scout.com, Televisionwithoutpity.com, YTDAW.org and yahoo mail
Four Places I Would Rather Be Right Now: Oh good question...a farm? I don't know, I'm not really that imaginative right now... CT has drained the life energy out of me and made me cray-z. So yeah, a farm...preferably with horses.
**On another totally different note...why do the females of our species (myself included) feel the need to bitch about everything?! All I'm sayin' is that in volleyball the difference between passing right and passing middle is a few feet...why make a big deal out of it?! It's not like you were passing anywhere near the middle anyways!
Fuckin' A man, I swear...do people need the drama so they just cultivate it out of the most mundane shit?
Haha cultivate...I don't know where I pull this from. | | comments: 2 comments or Leave a comment |
| You know, I hate being so practical. So pragmatic, so...too smart for my own good. At some points in time, I wish that I wasn't blessed with this wonderful Jiminy Cricket of a conscience that I have come to own. Too much thinking, too much pondering...of the now, of the future...and of everything that falls in-between.
Too much thinking that never results in me doing anything.
*sigh*
It sucks to be smart...nothing surprises you anymore. You realize how most situations will end, or that there really is no future for that certain lifepath...which then leads to wondering if the heartbreak will be worth it after all is said and done.
I guess there is only two ways to find out...jump or don't jump. It's the choice...and I really should pick one instead of sitting on the fence the entire time.
Ah well, I'm just being a bit melodramatic. Melodramatic Musings...that should have been the title to this thing...because that's all it was.
Blaaaaaaah.
(I don't update for almost a year, and this is the best I got? I know I know...I'm workin' on it!)
I could babble about how I got a $200 tennis racket for Free 99, but that would just make ya jealous... :) | | comments: Leave a comment |

| Well, Girl Potato and Boy Potato
had eyes for each other,
and finally they got married,
and had a little sweet potato,
which they called 'Yam.'
Of course, they wanted the best for Yam.
When it was time,
they told her about the facts of life.
They warned her about going out
and getting half-baked,
so she wouldn't get accidentally mashed,
and get a bad name for herself like
'Hot Potato,'
and end up with a bunch of Tater Tots.
Yam said not to worry,
no Spud would get her into
the sack and make a rotten potato out of her!
But on the other hand
she wouldn't stay home
and become a Couch Potato either.
She would get plenty of exercise
so as not to be skinny
like her Shoestring cousins.
When she went off to Europe,
Mr. and Mrs. Potato told Yam
to watch out for the hard-boiled guys from Ireland. And the greasy guys from France
called the French Fries.
And when she went out west,
to watch out for the Indians
so she wouldn't get scalloped.
Yam said she would stay on
the straight and narrow and wouldn't associate
with those high class Yukon Golds,
or the ones from the other side of the tracks
who advertise their trade
on all the trucks that say,
'Frito Lay.'
Mr. and Mrs. Potato sent Yam to Idaho P.U.
(that's Potato University)
so that when she graduated
she'd really be in the Chips.
But in spite of all they did for her,
one-day Yam came home and announced
she was going to marry
Tom Brokaw.
Tom Brokaw!
Mr. and Mrs. Potato were very upset.
They told Yam she couldn't
possibly marry Tom Brokaw
because he's just.......

| So I'm back...from Outer Space...
Or Connecticut, depending on what story you heard...but yeah, Fall Semester has officially begun since my ass is back at Eastern. Oh yeah.
Not really looking forward to class...since I'll be in it alllllllll day...but it is nice to just go about and do my own thing without having to answer to anybody. I luv ya mom, but really.
Um, other than that, the drive sucked, Gas prices suck more...but definitely unpacking sucks the most. I LOVE climbing 3 flights of stairs over and over and over again.
So yeah, I don't really have much more to say...I feel like taking a nap now (since I can do that)...yeah...a nap sounds good...
Peace. | | comments: 1 comment or Leave a comment |
| I'm just posting this so I can look back later and be like "WTF?! UK plays tennis!?"
hahahahahahaha
No, no, for real, just for memories purposes...
Here's my final CT entry for awhile...I leave town tomorrow and head to Frostburg Maryland where I'll spend the night...then head to EKU on Friday...and unpack...fun is.
So yeah, where did this summer go? Oh that's right...it was lost in the humidity that made Connecticut feel like a tropical rainforest (with random ghettos placed every few miles)...what a summer to pick to do manual labor huh? I really don't remember the summers being so humid...it felt like I was still down south. Oi.
I can't really complain though...I did have a pretty good time these past three months...I worked a lot...made a good amount of money (at least I think so...it's something to build on to say the least)...I've collected furniture to outfit my future apartment (for FREE I might add)...learned life lessons in more ways than one...and I've got to see the Ritz and glamour of CT...as well as the ghettos. I'm a well rounded child now...in more ways then one (damn the free food!)
On the flipside though...I have gone completely retarded...this job required NO brain power whatsoever except for figuring out how to fit a chair/fridge/couch etc through a small doorway. Woohoo, 18 credit hours and the UWR here I come!
I'm gonna miss mah coworkers though...what a motley crew we were. Keith (who was technically my boss...but you would never know it)...the 'Valley Soldier' (he unfortunatly was orginially from Ansonia, CT...and Ansonia just plain SUCKS) who is an animal loving vegetarian who hates trees...he reminded me of the character House in a lot of ways (just without the medical knowledge) sarcastic as frell...and just when you want to bitchsmack him, he'd be cool. Then there's also his sarcastic sense of humor and cigarette addiction...as well as the slight limp he developed at some point. Gregg, meet Keith...Keith Gregg...I'm sure you'll have a lot to talk about.
Andy and Andrew were my two favorites...best friends since like age 2...(Andy's real name is John, but that's his dad's name and he doesn't want to be called that or something...so he goes by Andy his middle name...yeah, I don't know either)...these two were a hoot. Andy was the goofball who liked to listen to Big D 103 (oldies station) and sing along (It's the age of Aquarius!!) and was just a cool kid. Andrew was the flirt who asked a lot of questions...and who really didn't know anything about sports (so there went his chance...).
Matt the Marine was/is crazy and needs a new fiancee. That's all I'm sayin. And he needs to stop being crude too. I know guys are perverted, but can you keep it to yourself at least some of the time? Oh, and I swear that he thought that if he wasn't 'engaged'...that I would totally be all over him. *eye roll* Please boy...you're the same height as me, you're crude...and you smoke, and you're crazy. I'm sorry but I would have to say no...because ya know...I've got standards.
Moving on.
Franco--hilarious. He could do great impressions...and he didn't look older than me, but alas he was 23. Swear he looks like he's 17.
Chad--had crazy hair that I never saw until we stopped at his apartment one day...wait that sounds bad. Let me go back for a second...Matt and I (Matt is BFF with Chad (heh)) stopped at Chuckie's (nickname) apartment one day cuz we were bored. Lo and behold, Chad AND his hair answered the door. I never knew a ball cap could hide something like that. Chad was cool, is a contracter on the side, and I never really worked with him since he only worked on Saturdays and Mondays (and I didn't work on Mondays)...but what I garnered from our limited time together, he seemed cool.
Eric--skinny as a rail (but had nice arms I must say)...but I have to say he was the strongest pound for pound out of all of us...he seemed aight. He was funny too...came up with "Manoobies and Boy Boobii" (we were waaaay early for a job and we saw a dude with man boobs, and I made the commment that I call them "Moobs"...and blah blah blah later it became Manoobies.) Oh, and great times with the Pumpkin Loaf...
Jason--I must say, I loved him...if only he wasn't married. Heh. I'm no homewrecker dammit! But no, he was just awesome...and one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet. The Newtown Big Y will always be our place...and Mary the cart girl still makes me laugh to this day. "I Comma RETARD" would be a great movie, I'm tellin' ya. Oh, and did I mention he saved my life? Heh. Driving on the highway through Waterbury, our truck blows a rear tire and decides to skip over a couple o' lanes...thankfully Jayce got the truck under control without taking anybody out...and we puttered to the safety of the Brass Mill Mall and it's parking lot...where we got to meet "Marv" (named after the character in Sin City...I should have taken a picture of this guy, you would've agreed with me...) who changed our blowed out tire for us. Good times. (and as luck would have it, we ran into Marv on my second to last day...and I was with Jay again...so we gave him a toy Got Junk truck for his kid...which made me ask silently...'He was able to fornicate with somebody?!'
And that leaves Juan...good ol' Juan the Puerto Rican who got fired about 2 weeks before I quit. He was abrasive, sweated a LOT and was really lazy...but when he left, there was nobody to make fun of except Matt...which was kind of a downer. At least when he got the axe he didn't come and take the copper like another former employee did. I'm still not over him getting like 5 tennis rackets and a hundred tennis balls...why couldn't I have worked that job? I at least play tennis.
*grumble grumble grumble*
Ha ha, yeah I forgot to mention Paul, the owner. "Caw-Caw!" Yeah, that's all you need to know. (I'm getting really tired of typing...)
So like I said before, this was just an entry for memories keepsake...so I can look back on it in a few months and remember what I had to put up with this summer (did you notice I was the only girl?! And NO, I'm not butchy thankyouverymuch.) But they made it interesting you know? And now it's like I have 8 older bros (would have been 9 if I knew where Juan was...oh well) who'll back me up...and that's cool yo. Did I mention that like 5 of them are Italian? So one of them has to have connections...has to. Franco maybe?
