Well I am back! My first or was it second day here by myself alone in the apartment the cable goes out as does our Internet access. At work that night I tell Jenn that it was all knocked out. She said that she'd call Comcast after I hung up and before she went to bed. Cable was on when I got home but no internet. I'd been without Internet access until just a short time ago this morning. I fixed it. I am the height of awesomeness!

Not much had gone on in the few days I couldn't get on here. Well I'll be paying more for the phone bill due to text messaging. I've been bored and messaging friends that I would probably talk to online if I could have gotten there. But also was talking a lot with my co-worker. Her son's became very sick at the took him to the ER/hospital and she'd spent a lot of time there with him and no one else so I was keeping messages going to try to keep her sane as well. She took him back to the ER last night. I'm hoping she can come into work tonight because if not...I may just get my ass kicked myself. My manager is in Jersey taking her training courses for 8 days, the store manager will have been there since early this morning because Regional Managers are coming by and could be there early. Jess is already at work. Two other workers have full-time jobs aside from our store and have already worked way too much so they're out. Chad still hasn't gotten in from his shift from last night and he has to work tonight until 9am tomorrow until I get there which is rough enough. But if she can't come in I can work both sides by myself I guess until Mohamed comes in at 8. Normally I am done at 8 when he comes in which gives him hours aside from his full-time job (which is why he couldn't get there earlier because he comes from work to get to our store at 8) and I could work until 10 instead of 8. But hopefully she'll be able to make it in as I am already fairly exhausted and have my shift tonight and a 9 hour shift tomorrow morning. Thankfully I am then off Saturday even though we have band practice. But I'll spend the rest of the day relaxing to the highest extent possible.

Now. I am in love with the new Fall Out Boy cd. Haven't bought it yet but I have it on Rhapsody and my Sansa Mp3 player and it's so good I think I'll definitely have to buy it. I think that it lacks some of the 'heaviness' that they had in previous efforts but there is still plenty there. But overall I think the songs are amazing. Their sound is definitely more tightly produced and a little "poppier" in a way. But the overall musicianship is incredible...the vocals are astounding..all around. Has to be awesome if I can listen to it for free (with my Rhapsody paid account but still technically free) and I still want to go to the store and buy the album. But personally i feel that they deserve it for putting it out. You know..maybe not everyone will feel about the album as I do. But I think that it came out at just the right time for me for some reason. I am not sure exactly what this really means but when I think about it..somehow the overall effect it has on me seems to be precisely what I need.

Well we're gearing up for Saturday. We are supposed to be auditioning a drummer who is very interested in what we do. I've listened to his stuff and it was very good and he said that he was limited in what he could do and I told him that we all knew what that was like trying to conform to John's voice. So we're kinda looking for a new start as far as what our overall sound will be. I told him that he won't be limited and we're looking for that attitude...someone that really wants to be a part of the band and what we do. Someone that won't just sit behind the kit because they want to play drums for a band. We want them to be as moved and energized by our music as we will be. Keeping my fingers crossed.

I guess anything else can wait. Just have to finish my laundry which has ALL of my work clothes in it and get something to eat. Have a fantabulous day!

I am tired. So we'll all see how long this ends up being. Right? Correct.

Work went alright today. Was pretty boring and rather slow and Charlotte (the new food manager) was saying that I could go home early but I wanted to try to stick it out for some extra time. I made it through but it was a very, very long four hours! haha

I came home and worked some on my new program. It's a small application but still has a good bit of work to be done. Including the "help" pages once the actual program is fully coded. I will be offering it on ProgrammedToBeAwesome.com which lostsoul13 pointed out was pretty empty right now. Which I definitely believe to be correct. I haven't actually looked at it in a while to see. It's one of the three new domain names I had bought when I got this new server host and this one is meant for my programming/designing work. But I've been working hard on the other two products but they are so difficult that they are still works-in-progress so the site is a little bare. But I am hoping to get the new program up so there's something there! haha

I drove Chad to work for some more money. I could use the money and it gave him another hour+ to sleep and not have to worry about taking two busses. Before I left I got a call from a number that I did not know. I didn't answer because my phone had been doing that whole "I'm not going to allow you to hear a damned thing" thing it's been doing for quite some time. But then I couldn't get the message either. When I got us to the station Erica told me that Charlotte had called her to get my phone number and the unknown number was her's. Through a process which will be explained next I was able to check my voicemails. She has to leave tomorrow for her week and a half of training courses in Jersey early tomorrow evening. Normally she works until 4pm. I go in at 2pm and we're both there on the food side for two hours. Well she said that she'd probably leave early to get stuff done such as pack for her trip (which she obviously put off until the last possible minute). Well in the voicemail she said that she'd appreciate it if I could come in around 1 or 1:30 so she can leave even earlier. Well I will be up to 42 hours this week and I think that I'll aim for 1. It'll be even more painful on the legs. But I like the food side and it's another hour of overtime which is another $13.50. Plus I need to take whatever hours I can get. Sounds like the Summer will bring plenty of hours but then after that hours may come down and our side is hit before the cashier sides are hit because they take in more money. But it's stupid because they'd be too busy to make the food and except for maybe a total of 4 hours for the week is there only one person on the food side. But it's best to take it as I can get it so I aim to go in early. Plus it doesn't hurt to score even more points with the boss hah

So I've been getting a lot of offers to clean peoples' houses for them. I want it to go on the record that I would happily do it...as long as you pay for me to get there and back and for my time that I spend doing it. Got the money? Hit me up! Use the profile link to the top right of this page and use the message box to send me a private message. And I'll help you out HAHAHAHAHA

Well that's about it. I am hungry. And tired. And I'll try to wake up an hour earlier since I have to go in an hour earlier. Not that I have to wake up earlier to make it in at the earlier time. But I want the time to allow me to get stuff done before I go in.

Have a great night, earthling.
