Welcome to...

SilverNitrate · 03-08-2004, 12:49 AM

Well, I've got to be at work in about 4 hours... Yes... that's 5 o'clock in the a.m. Then I have class from 9 o'clock in the a.m. until 11 o'clock in the a.m. After class I am going to go talk to the manager at Home Depot to see if I can start working there. I am sick and tired of the place I work at the moment. The hours are so crazy. Almost every Friday, I work from 6pm until 3am then have to turn around and be back between 6am and 8am. I only get $7 an hour... and I hear that Home Depot pays $9.50 an hour. Another good thing about Home Depot is that they open at 6am and close at 10pm... which means the earliest I would ever have to be there is 5am and the latest would be 11pm. That's SO much better than my current work place. Anyways... I'm only going to get about 3 hours of sleep if I go to bed right now... so I should probably do that. Good Night.

Ok... obviously I didn't go to sleep. I ended up in a conversation with my sister, and posting in the theology board... therefore losing track of time... So now it would be pointless to go to sleep, because if I did I will not wake up... therefore making me late... which would be bad. Well... it would only be bad because I'd be fired... although that has some benifits as well... but it also has a down side.... no money.

Ok, well I'm off to shave, and then ride my bike to work. I'll be back after talking to the Home Depot mngr.

Welcome to blogdom.

I get $10 an hour and I hear that Bi-Lo pays $14 something! Bollocks to them! Sleeping is so good, but I'm all for the all-nighters. Work tomorrow. Work shmerk. Have a good one!

Well... talking to Home Depot worked out... all I need to do is fill out an aplication... so hopefully I can find the time to do that in between my classes and work tomorrow. That would be great. I got the impression that the mngr will hire me after doing so... so hopefully I'm interpreting what she said correctly. OH, also, I received a letter in the mail today from the Naval Discharge Review Board today, and it said that they have received my package and the results of the review will be sent to me within 12 months. I would like to ask anyone who reads this to please pray for a quick, yet fair review will take place. The sooner I can get my Gen. Discharge upgraded to an Honorable Discharge, the sooner I will have no need to work.
Speaking of work... guess what... I have to go tomorrow... but thankfully I think this will be the last time I work until after spring break. How awesome is that?!? I am so thrilled. I can definitely use this break.

Sorry, I just felt like playing with the smilies.... I think

is my favorite.

Thank you Beanie.

That's some nice income you got there. To bad there's not a Bi-Lo here in College Station.

And I'm with you totally... I am much more of a night person... the only thing I can think when I wake up early in the morning is, "God... are you sure you intended on people waking up at this hour?"

I'm going to be coming in either this Fri. or Sat. (Depending on when I get off work) We're going camping over Spring Break... care to join us?

The Cheat · 03-09-2004, 02:26 PM

Oooh sounds fun

I'm going home at the beginning of the break though

I'll be back on Wednesday, then we can play!

COOL... we may be going camping the last few days of Spring Break as well... maybe you could join us at that time. There are several of us going (guys and girls).

SilverNitrate · 03-09-2004, 03:34 PM

Do you ever have one of those days where you just want to run outside naked with a bucket full of cow poo, then jump into the neighbor's back yard and throw the poo in their swimming pool, then running back to your place, get dressed, grab a jar of peanut butter, going back to the neighbor's house and smearing the peanut butter onto their dog, then throwing dirt on the dog so that it will stick to the peanut butter, then let the dog into their house to run free?

No?

..... umm....

Me either.

He lives in Australia, where a dollar isn't worth as much. Their $14 isn't equal to $14 of our money.

Hey Brian, thanks for the welcome. As far as the breakout thing goes... it wasn't my first time playing it.

I used to play it all the time in my computer class... and I've played several online versions of the game.... so there's been lots of practice... I can't say that it was my first few times to play.

Also, I would've been the Space Invaders champion... but as I was playing it, so was the current champion... my game just sudenly ended, so I ended up with 2nd place.

That's ok though... I may try again in a bit... I WILL be champion... at least until I'm beaten.
