it's a lot like august so far... i went to bed drunk and woke up way too early.

do you do that a lot....wake uop early after a bout of moderate or worse drinking?
 
I hope for you eternal bliss, but short of that i hope that should we ever meet, your entire body starts secreting tupelo honey from every pore and i am the only one there to save you....

Life has given me the very best things i could ever have dreamed of in this or any a thousand lifetimes, but things come your way that demand the hardest of decisions, where you give up all of your own selfish hapiness to gain peace or hapiness for others. I am about to discover how much of man i really am. Exciting, exhilerating and at the same time so profoundly sad...

The future is not yet made, it is elusive, a thing made of the diaphonous strands of love and pain and happiness and uncertanty and adrenaline and peace from which dreams are woven, so few of us ever get to experience the extemes of life, how fortuneate i am to have seen and felt so much, to have shared so much wonder. I feel like the richest man in the world and yet tears stain my cheeks.
 
I signed up for a creative writing class yesterday and also have an art class on Mondays. I'm so excited to get the creative juices flowing again. Engineering makes me feel like a robot, everything is structured and defined in straight lines.

WOW!!! Good for you.

Legal does that to me. I got back into my art this summer.

I should close on my new coop in 2 weeks! My boyfriend has all these plans on making it look really awesome...and no, he does not live with me. He just wants to make sure I have a beautiful home to live in. He plans to do all the painting and install all the moldings and to help me move. I can't wait. I want to redo the kitchen cabinets and get a new bedroom set and fix the bathroom, oh and a new rug! I'm so excited. It's going to be so nice to own something again.

I also plan to get my ass back in shape. My gym is literally 5 minutes away from my new coop. Now, I'm 25 minutes away. I joined because my sister joined there so for me to go means I have to leave my apartment, drive through my complex and over the 100 speed bumps and take the LIE all the way to my gym. Not fun. When I move, I will have no excuse.

I've also been working with my dog, trying to get him transitioned for the new place. The new place has a designated dog walk area only....so, I'm teaching him to pee only in the places he's allowed. So far he is doing great!

I'm spending my labor day weekend with one of my best friends. I miss her so much and can't wait to see her. September so far is looking pretty good.
 
Well, after being at what I was beginning to think was my favorite job, I was fired today. It all started yesterday when the lead Dr. who owns the animal hospital blew up at everyone due to the clinic being so dirty. He started pointing out things that had been there way before I had started. He then started pointing out things like ceiling tiles that needed to be replaced because they had some water stains. During this time, I'm thinking to myself "I'm a vet tech, not a carpenter". He ranted for about an hour how everything was in disarray and yelling at me directly sometimes even though I just completed my 4th week and am still learning what needs to be done.

Later on that day, he called me up to his office and explained that I wasn't meeting the expectations needed which caught me off guard. No one had ever told me that I wasn't performing until then. He likes to hire people with no experience so that he can mold them into his type of vet tech but then expects the person to know everyone there is to know about being a vet tech within the matter of weeks and that's just not possible. Hell, vet tech school is usually at least a years worth of education so I don't see how he expects someone to learn it all within such a short amount of time.

So today, I pulled the senior tech aside and asked her if I was let go, how I would get my paycheck. She said that she was glad I came up to her as she was gonna have to talk to me about letting me go anyways. She's starting to do more and more administrative stuff but doesn't like it that much. Apparantly, there have been many many people that have come and gone and I can see why.

There is absolutely no structured form of training at all. I'm all for hands on training but when you are expected to learn literally 30 different procedures all at the same time without hesitation, it becomes frustrating. I had no training classes to work on technique. Whenever an animal would come in, I would try my best and if I couldn't get it, one of the senior techs would do it which would cause some of the doctors to get frustrated at me because it took so long.

So, I may call my local vet and see if she is hiring. If not, I'm just gonna go back to customer service until I can figured out what I'm gonna do. It's quite depressing since I really enjoyed working with animals but with only a months worth of experience, I doubt another vet will hire me :(
 
Got my morning cardio in....got my supps....

The new couch came today - it's a lot better looking than I expected. It's hard to pick out a couch color based on a small fabric sample....

Went shopping with hubby (his suggestion) and picked out a set of dishes, placemats, lamps, and knick-knacks @ Bed Bath & Beyond. Got 2 throw pillows & decorative items at Target. Went to Home Depot & got some paint so we can now finish off the LR & DR.

It's looking pretty nice around here....Velvett would be proud of me...
 
$110.00 to fill our 2 jeeps today. Mines parked for the near future, I'll be walking to work for the next 2 months. It's only about 1.5 miles and not a bad walk. I guess I've been lazy, I used to ride the bike to work sometimes, lately it's just too much of a hassle.
 
September is my favorite month.
I have at least a half dozen books I want read.
I have some new kayak adventures planned.
Met a new builder that I totally jive with and I'm looking forward to doing some great jobs together.

So I'll just have to wait and see what unfolds.

I have quite a bit to look forward to this month. August was really great and really rough all at once. I feel like I evolve more every day into something better. I hope I evolve wings or something.
I figured that you'd go for steel claws or the ability to shoot lasers from your eyes rather then wings.

Have you ever thought of writing romance novels or Hallmark?
 
Do you know what it means to be a bus boy? It means you're takin' the bus HOME! No matter what, your ass is ridin' the bus!

I used to work at McDonalds makin' minimum wage. You know what it means to make minimum wage?? It means they don't give a fuck about you! They don't care about your Christmas, they don't care if your kids got shoes on! My boss asked me one time, "How you doin?" "YOU KNOW HOW THE FUCK I'M DOIN'!!! I'M DOIN' BAD!! That's how the fuck I'm doin'!

You know what they're tryin' to say when they pay you minimum wage? They're tryin' to tell you, "If I could pay you less....I would! But it's against the law!"

Can I have two cheesburgers and some fries please. Also, supersize me...
 
I'm finally getting into my groove within my new apartment and school schedule. I finally feel comfy away from home.
 
Looks like a September so far....
 
man, I've been stressed, depressed and have been drinking all week. I'll finish this drinking binge this weekend and get back to being clean and trying to get lean right after.

Hell, I wish I could walk to work. I have too much equipment to cart around to and from though.

September has always been my least favorite month of the year. Summer's over, fall's beginning. Back to school (not me anymore thank God, but I lose some friends and family to higher education for the better part of eight months).

The only silver lining is that football season starts.

But I always feel somewhat depressed during September (the forementioned reasons, not to mention I'm usually doing PCT from summer cutting cycle). I don't get happy again until October, when the first puck of the NHL season drops.
 
1st Friday of September
Always good
 
Rolling right along...could be alot better, however could be a lote worse. I actually just clicked on here to see Raina's Avatar............
 
Just found out that my grandfather's funeral is next friday, the 19th anniversary of my father's death.

September is going to be wonderful, I can just feel it!
 
Just got back from court, paid $650 for a citation I got earlier this year and didn't take care of. It would have just cost me a new exhaust (about $150) and $10 if I took care of it in time. The good new though is that I get to keep (loud) exhaust :D

don't worry, I know I'm stupid

Now I'm gonna sit here at home and wait a few hours before heading to work and see if the paperwork gets to DMV today. Otherwise I wont be able to get my license back until sometime mid week, next week.
 
Just paid off my pre-pay oil bill for the year, I feel bad for those who waited and are getting turned away. Current pre-pay price locally, if you can find one is at $2.54 USD. I locked in at $1.81 and thought that was high at the time (July). I also rode my bike the 7 miles to pay the bill, poor people waiting in line for gas, I just cruised on by. Gas is at $3.19 for regular right now.

how and where do you do that? I've never heard or known of such things existing.

^^^ no shit, wtf I wish I knew about that. I wonder if it would still be a good idea. Seen predictions that the gas "bubble" will burst just like anything else. What is to keep you locked in at the price if it goes lower...? Go to a different gas station or something.....

Many of the local oil delivery companies have been doing this for a few years. If you pre-buy your oil for the coming heating season, they will either lock you in at a certain price or you can go with a capped option where you pay market price up to a certain point, usually higher than the lock-in price. Your oil price per gallon is capped at say $2.40, if the price is lower you pay the lower price, if it rises above $2.40, no matter how high, you still only pay the capped price.

I have 850 gallons locked in at $1.81, I did this in early July. This is just heating oil, not gas for your car. You must have the full amount paid by the end of September. So, it's not really a viable option for many of the low or fixed income elderly people.

Right now they have announced that they will honor all pre-buy contracts. If you pay as you go, you may end up only getting 50 gallons at a time, if it is hard for them to get oil.
 
This month has started out mildly shitty carrying over from a string of mid/late August auto-mishaps but I'm figuring it will build from there, starting today with my Jeep's transmission (Chrysler trannys....gotta love 'em). I'm actually past the point of being pissed at being without a car. :whatever:

Gas prices suck, but so does dropping nearly $2,000 within a month's time for mere vehicle upkeep. I'll be happy when all I have to put into my truck is expensive gas to drive it.
 
There's one chick in my company ... the way she looks at me I'm wondering if she's asking to get nailed :chomp:
 
Today is a much better day, had a good night sleep have 5 pieces of chix breasts and got chest tonight
