| Visiting Grandpa |
[10 Dec 2009|07:54pm] |
As I walked in to my grandfather's room he was swallowing his drink for the first time. Yesterday when they were trying to get him to drink water they asked what he liked to drink. "Bourbon" Also a female nurse had her hand up for him to push against it she said "I don't usually let people do this, but hit my hand" and he replied "I don't hit women"
So "Falling down" by my mom is apparently code for "stroke". The left side of his body isn't completely functioning. He memory isn't doing so hot. But he's doing tons better. When I walked in I said hi and he said hi back. Didn't really recognize me. But when the nurse asked him to point out my mom, dad, and me he was able to :)

| Shity start of the day |
[31 Oct 2009|11:09pm] |
I left for work with enough time to get there on time, cuz I've been late the past few days and the ASM asked me to make sure I was on time. So I leave notice I'm >out< of gas and pray that I don't run out of gas. Get to a gas station to fuel up and grab some breakfast. GPS says I should be five minutes late, that's not horrible and it's before customers are allowed in so it's not too bad. Pass an elementary school and notice TONS of cars. Felt it was weird but I kept going. Then I saw a line of breaklights.
Turns out there was a run/walk going on they never posted about on the road any day before. So massive traffic. GPS goes from five minutes to 22 when it was over. Get to work and start the safe. After it goes back off('bout 10 minutes) I put in the code again. Turn the handle and WHOOPS too soon, stays locked and I need to reenter it. So I keep working. Go for it again 10 minutes later and wait after entering it, hearing the lock undo. Ope-Oh wait, it was a hair too soon again! It's 9:40 and if it doesn't open by 9:50 I can't take the deposit to the bank and get back before it's time to open. Fucccck. Finish some other work, safe goes off, put in the code, wait 5 seconds after I hear the sound and yes it opens. Grab the deposit and run out to my car to deposit the drop
So I drop the money and as I'm leaving 5 cars debate having a transformers level of exchanged metal on metal action about who should go first. Get back to the store after waiting a bit and push open the doors and locks and such and unlock stuff.
So currently It's a bad day, and it was only 10 am(2 hours after I woke up). Also I got very little sleep D:
So my ASM left me with a list of stuff to do and I'm still scrambling around doing morning work hoping to get it done before he gets in. One of my coworkers got in at noon and I had him help customers while I made a bunch of cover art.
The ASM gets in at 2 PM and basically says to keep on trucking. Later I check the hours for the week to make sure we're on track(seeing as hours get sent in on Saturdays). Turns out we need to use another hour so I let him know.
"I could call Roddy and see if he can get in early"
"You could stay an extra hour and keep working on what you're working on."
So I just kinda sigh in my head and keep working. The last few days I have worked through my lunch break because I got in late and yesterday I worked an hour later than I was scheduled for because...hell I don't even know. So the idea of staying later AGAIN when I had plans right after work was pretty shitty.
And yet I felt like I'd be bailing on them if I left when I was scheduled to leave. I felt guilty for wanting to leave at 4. That makes no sense to me. I don't have to work the extra hour, so I shouldn't feel bad when I leave when I was told I would be. Add to this the SM and ASM leave early all the damn time(and the SM takes smoke breaks every 5 minutes, when the company doesn't allow them at all) leaving me alone for hours at a time. So leaving when I was planning, not early, not working through lunch to leave early but working through it to help out and fix hours, should not make me feel guilty.
I ended up working until 4:30, as I was about to passout standing up a few times. And yet I still feel bad. Baaaah. At least my day has improved going to Abby's before her party tonight!

| Court post |
[14 Sep 2009|04:09pm] |
Court is taking forever, and no one has talked to the prosecutor other than people with attorneys so I figured might as well update this...expect I'm on emergency calls only, so that means typing this update in the e-mail!
Not that it'll change anything, other than maybe I'll be ranting about things that matter now, but aren't annoying when a post. Oh well, it's not like people read this as soon as I update anyways :P
Life is going ok. I wish I was paid more so I can afford paying for food, gas, car, car insurance, health insurance, phone bill, etc. As of right now I pay for food when I go out(or others do...), gas(bum some off family sometimes), part of my car insurance, a healthcare discount program kinda..thing(not exactly insurance...), and part of the phone bill. I live at home so I'm not really paying rent, but I wish I could afford to pay for all of these AND rent so I can move out.
I'm looking into having a place with Ryan, finally convincing him to say(RE:A woman did it.) I don't know where to look for a place, I'd like to stay around Alpharetta/Roswell but I expect them to be pricey, Abby said they can be a bit cheap. I need to find a place fast, and then somehow find better pay(at work or another job.) And I should also be looking into scholarships so I can pay for school. My mom says they don't mind paying for school as long as I actually get something out of it(instead of bad grades leading to a one-year probation(which is up after this semester)), but I'd like to help fund it.
She also asked what was different this time around that makes me want to put effort into it and...I was about to say it but got embarrassed. Other than wanting to have a well paying job that will be able to fund things like what I listed above, but I also want to be able to connect with Abby on the level of a student. She's been discussing school a lot and it makes me miss it. I'd love to be able to work out homework with her but she's on a level I am not and bah .-.
The prosecutor is seeing other people than ones with attorneys, but I'm still not up yet. I kinda hope this takes a while and at the same time I don't, as I have work starting..20 minutes ago. Last Friday I wrote a note saying I had court today at 1:30 and I could come in as soon as it was over but to work the schedule around it. I was scheduled at 2 pm. Which is annoying, seeing as court didn't even start up until 1:45, and people were still entering the court room. That wasn't the worst thing(as they legally are not allowed to say jack for me being in court) but 2 months ago I wrote a note saying I needed the 17th through the 20th off.
Then I was scheduled for the 17th, 1-9. I was a bit pissed. I was told it was one of the only days she could have off(as per our DM, and most likely as per the RM too). I got it switched around to working 9-1 and having to the 19th off(we make schedules weekly and I'm not bothering to go in Sunday if I'm scheduled, as it'd be bullshit :D). I'm not working my job during AWA this year >:|
Even with a moral dilemma. That being my coworker from my home store has his infant son's heart surgery on Friday and wants to be there for it. They asked if I could work in his place(a keyholder needs to work and the store manager is taking off for AWA as well.) I told them I couldn't as I have committed myself to working staff at AWA, which is true, but I'm not going to miss any of the con this year(had to work during it last year, which I already ranted about for a few words).
2 hours and 10 minutes for me to get out of court, awesome. Posting now and will spellcheck later.

| I made her day~ |
[15 Jul 2009|12:04am] |
|
Ya know I don't update that often considering how I have my friend's list set as my homepage for my phone. So it's usually one of the first things I load daily, sometimes multiple times a day, And yet the number of entries I have is...small. Hm. Hope to work at that.
I've updated a bit about my professional life, but not really about my social life. I'm hoping to fill in some gaps here. First off: I'm dating the wonderful Abigail Cram. I'm surprised I haven't updated about that yet. It's a polyamorous relationship which is really new to me. Because of that I've been trekking a bit slower in this relationship than a few others. But that's ok, it's a learning experience that I'm enjoying :)
Speaking of taking it slow, I've been having trouble kissing Abby. Why? Iunno. I blame having a crush on her for years and a strong desire to embrace those lips with mine for nearly as long. She said it's because it's something new and thus there's going to be awkwardness to it at first. I guess both might be true. But I decided I was going to man up and get over the awkwardness.
I figured surprise flowers and a kiss would be a good way to do it. So I looked up flower meanings and saw that Bachelor's Buttons are shyness. "Shyness! That's a good way to say the flustered feelings I get when I think about kissing her. I wonder how they look." So I looked them up. And found them to be ( beautiful. )
"That. I want that."
So I went to find that. On Saturday I went to a flower shop on the way home and asked if they had any in stock.
"Well no, but we can leave a message for the wholeseller and ask for them. They're closed until Monday so we should get an answer on Monday morning, and we shipments on Monday to so it should work out!"
"That's awesome thanks." I replied. So I headed home with their card, this plan was working out.
I hung out with Ryan on Sunday until about 3 am finishing up the first season of Burn Notice. I thought it'd take a lot longer to finish but thankfully we got through a lot of it before then. I drove home and noticed it at about 3:20 and figured I'd dick around for a few minutes before going to sleep, after all I had a big day planned tomorrow! I ended up going to sleep when I noticed the clock said 4:30.
My plans for Monday were this: Wake up at a decnet hout, call my DM to ask for a meeting with him, get a call from/call the flower shop to see when my flowers would be in, meet with DM, go to flower shop, go to Atlanta to wait for Abby to be done with her test. Monday did not happen as planned. I got a call at 9:30 am from the flower shop.
"Gene?"
"Yes?"
"I was just calling to see when you'd need the flowers by"
"Oh...uh 2 o'clock I guess?"
"Oh...we can't have them iin until next week."
"Aaah. Oh well, thank you!"
"No problem."
Well, that plan went a bit sour. No matter! I can call around to other places when I wake up. I'm intemidated by my DM and don't really wanta ask for any favors right this second...so I'll push that back a week. I was tired so I decided to nap for a bit longer.
I wake up about 11:30 and get to work searching. I basically spend 3 hours on the internet/phone looking for cornflowers, but couldn't find any. Notice it was almost 3 o'clock and she had just started her test so I had to get down there to wait for her. So I went to Kroger and looked at all the flowers they had, being very hopeful they had some cornflowers. I eventually picked out some really colorful daisies because she loves to color her hair and my mom said "She seems like a daisy kinda person." so I rolled with it. I got the flowers and got cash back from the cashier because I didn't want to go to the bank and waste more time. I drove down the highway and when I got to the toll booth I gave the lady working one of the 40ish flowers with my toll money.
"What's this? :)"
"A flower!" I replied stupidly in my happy frensy as I drove off.
So I got to Atlanta and parked. As I was walking up to the school I decided to put the flowers in my bag becuase they were fucking huge and I didn't want 20 questions. But this one dude was crossing the street and saw them sticking out.
"OOOooo someone's going to be happy to get those."
"That's the plan :D!"
"Girl? Or teacher."
"It's for a giiiirl"
"Yep yep, it'd work even better with sweets there too."
I thought to myself "Ooooh, I plan on giving her something sweet. ...that was so fucking corny" so I just smiled as he went on.
I walked down the stairs to where her class room was to check to see if she was done already and she was standing right at the door.
"Gene?"
"HEY! I got something for ya" and then I walked over with the flowers. She was taken aback and I just handed them to her and went in for the kiss...as she went for the hug. So I half kissed her cheek and half kissed her lips. She smiled a lot.
"Oh god. I'm speechless. I just emptied my brain onto that test. I don't know how to process this.
So I told her my original plan with the Bachelor's Buttons and how they were impossible to find and she just smiled, and blushed. We held hands as we walked to my car talking. Asked her what her favorite flower was and she just said Daisies were up there. She told me I made her day. That was the best part of this whole thing.
As we got closer to my car she remembered that she drove to school that day so we stopped and kissed and agreed to meet at her house. I finally got a text back from Jim saying he didn't know her favorite flowers but just don't get roses. I replied saying I think I did fine.
( Daisies! )

Tomorrow Today I work(12-6:30), on Monday I have jury duty but if that doesn't happen I'm going to work(10-2). On Tuesday I plan to follow Abby to school and claim to be auditing it and she's really excited by it(I thought it was just a stupid idea of mine). On Wednesday I work(10-2) and then I was going to have a hump day party but instead I won VIP tickets to a night club for some awesome electronica. Hump Day party is pushed back a week if I can get enough people to want to come. Then I have Thursday off but I usually go to 80's night at the Masquerade. If I wasn't able to follow Abby to school on Tuesday I plan on doing it Thursday(if she's still up to it).
I work Friday(10-2) but I'm gonna try to switch shifts with my coworker who is working 5-9:30 so I can get some rest after 80's night. And I work on Saturday too(10-4). My shifts kinda suck, I don't really like working morning shifts and it being a long drive and only 4 hour shifts it sucks for my gas tank(which is pretty much empty). Oh and at some point in the week I'd like to go by Waldenbooks and say hi to everyone. My old manager called me up before I worked yesterday and said how they missed me and I hadn't been by in a while. Made me feel special :D
Oh so I feel like writing more I guess!
Last night I saw fireworks in Atlanta. Fun experience, wouldn't have gone by myself though. Parking was hard to find but we managed to ninja it for free. It was Ryan, Jay, and I who went to see it. We tried getting into centenial olympic park but it was so crowdeed so we just went to the top of a parking guarge and it looked fine. When we managed to get back to the car(swear I was going the right way and people are crazy) we saw there was a dolly next to the ticket despenser so we moved it on top of the metal detector and got another ticket. Went to pay for the parking and she looked at the credit card I handed her and said "uh here". As we were driving off I screamed "YES!" and we started laughing so she /had/ to know something was up, oh well.
Speaking of credit cards I recently got a new one from suntrust cuz there was a few accounts where the numbers might've been compermised so they canceled the old ones and sent out new ones. Well netflx had my old one, and I thought they would just give up after not getting money from me for 2 months(I wasn't using the service, didn't get a notice via snail or e-mail, and was too lazy to click "cancel account.") Long Story short: I'm -21.39 in my account. Whoops. Oh well.
Last week I worked at the new Canton GameStop which was really nice. Slow store, and it was big. The ASM there was really nice too. And very Gay XD Twas nice. But sadly my mom got a "free food!" coupon from chick-fil-a right over there. Oooooh well. Annnnnd that's all for now. Seeya LJ

I'm 5'10", 250 pounds. I am working on working out.
I did 20 situps last night and decided to tell this to a friend(way too lazy to LJ tag currently). She says she usually does 30 in class. 30? 30? I can beat that.
"Well after I timed myself I do it in 45 seconds."
Pfffft I can do that. "I can do that!"
Note that I just ate and am out of shape(other than "blob"). I layed down and..."oh god there is no way I can match that."
55 seconds later(well 54.6) I did 30. She went to bed and I decided I would do 40 more then 30 to make it 100. Well when I got to 30 once more it was extremely hard so I dicided that 60 is good enough for tonight. I'll work on pushing the number up.
This post sucks with spelling errors, laziness, and English in general but eh. I'm working on bettering myself by having this be habit.

My oldest dog Sammy just passed away. He was bleeding from his nose for a while and my parents went to the vet as soon as I got home from helping my friend pack. He had a tumor and he wasn't able to breathe well. I didn't get to say bye, but I did pet him before he left. :(

So there's a charge station thing in this airport that provides power for people who sit there, but it fucking cost money. So I go to pay at the part you pay at and as I'm putting in my money a woman sits down in the seat I'm paying for. "Uh ma'am, that's a charge station seat and I was just paying for it." "I wasn't paying for it, it's fine." "Uh no see I just /was/ paying for it...so I kinda need that spot." and she leaves in a huff, assuming I was being rude to her because 1) she was black in Kansas, and 2) sitting in "my spot". I shrugged it off. Well, guess who I am sitting next to on the flight for the next 2.5 hours?
Edit: So we got delayed for 3 hours. Sweet.

1. Stop talking about politics for a moment or two.
2. Post a reasonably-sized picture in your LJ, NOT under a cut tag, of something pleasant, such as an adorable kitten, or a fluffy white cloud, or a bottle of booze. Something that has NOTHING TO DO WITH POLITICS.
3. Include these instructions, and share the love.

I'm still single, which really isn't a surprise. But I'm trying. I've been doing build ups in my head of asking some people out. It doesn't really end well in my head but I think that might be because I haven't gotten to know any of these girls I want to ask out.
Work is going fine. Missing out on a $15/hr job because I can't work the hours but that's ok, told a friend of mine about it. But work this week has been cool. Our manager is in Las Vegas this week for a manager thing until friday so the other keyholder and I are running the show. It's pretty cool. I've done my best to be early(!?) also. Like..hours hah.
My kitty is going to be put down saturday morning :( It hasn't hit me yet how soon this is happening but she's really old, lost a lotta weight, and isn't pooping. She's peeing in a tub we used for they doggy toys and when she does pee isn't not that much. Over the phone the vet said it sounded like she was on her way out so I'm totally going to spend as much time with her friday night when I get home from work. I have had cats for as long as I can remember, and now we're not going to have any :( We might get some more soon because my sister wanted another when we lost bo-bo but I don't know how that's gonna happen.

Ru: ?
godsmiscarriage: I commented twice on this girl on campus to my friend
godsmiscarriage: she has long hair down to her butt that is blue/green
godsmiscarriage: I commented that that was cool and she was attractive
godsmiscarriage: SMS I got while at work: I have a present for you when you get here. You'll see what it is when you come in my dorm.
godsmiscarriage: When I got there she was all "omg you're going to be so surprised when I get you upstairs" "I bet" "I'm so excited, are you excited?" "Iunno..you're excitable" "What do you think it is? Guess!" "Uh...keys?(she lost her keys and got a new key and if I got her old key it means I can visit whenever which would rock) Maybe a cot?" "Nope! Good guesses though"
godsmiscarriage: and then when we got to the door, which was curiously opened the girl with the blue hair was sitting in the room.
godsmiscarriage: *spending the night at said friend's dorm*
godsmiscarriage: turns out she saw the cute girl sitting on a bench "I'm Jensen, you should come to my place"
godsmiscarriage: and also "My friend Gene thinks your hot, you should meet him"
And yeah. That's how that went.

| Failure! |
[19 Aug 2008|12:17pm] |
So my first attempt at an 8 am class ended in failure :\ I noticed last night that there was a 12:30 class on monday wednesday of the same class, but it's full. I'm going to try and go in an see if it's possible to have that switched over. It's 1) hard for me to get up that early 2) really hard to get there on time from where I live. I could crash every thursday with someone on campus I think, but I don't wanta do it 3 days a week D:. Here's hoping someone drops the class, or there's someone who can get me in.
Update: fuck yeah classes start at 12:30 monday-thursday

I also got a media server for my PC, so I can stream stoofs to my PS3. Now I need a LocationFree Player for my PSP and I will basically be set :D
