I didn't get The Legend of Zelda : Twilight Princess game for the Gamecube, because Wal-mart over sold the game and I got left out in the cold. They did give me a $25 gift card for the trouble BUT... it is a digital gift card, so it is pretty much crap.( Ironically they also give $25 gift card if they sell you a Zune with Gay porn on it.)

I also got a call for a interview to work as a (wait for it) People greeter at Wal-mart. So I get there on time and the guy I was suppose to interview with had the day off. I got passed off from like 3 different people because they were too busy to interview me ( MMM, I can feel the love). They asked me a bunch of crap questions, which don't have a wrong question but they rate your answer between poor, excellent and really excellent ( Doesn't that mean there is wrong answer?). I got all excellents on the questions big shock. She left and said that someone would be in to give the second interview.

Fast Forward 30 minutes ( I was about 5 minutes from walking out) and finally someone walks in and interviews me. His first comment was about he couldn't understand why people make interviews on their day off (reads as : I got better shit to do). Then his first question was "Why are you here?", which I replied I need a job (again underlining vibe of I got better shit to do). He read over the paperwork and asked about my previous employment with Wal-mart and why it was only a month. I explain that I was sick for a single day and was expected to bring in a doctor's note and I wasn't going to pay a doctor money just to get a note ( That went over like a ton of bricks). Some more of the crap questions and he said they would give me a call (more likely he threw away my app).

So I continued my job search and put in an app. with TSA at the airport and a few other places hoping to hear something soon.

On a Lighter note I got a 10 day free trail of WOW (World of Warcraft), it is a fun game but some of the stuff must be done in a group and that is just annoying sometimes. Sara will look over at me every once in a while and yell "Addicted", I don't think I am but we will see.

It snowed last night, so Sara and i went out into the world and she took some pics (check them out here).

So I have been working off and on over the past month and I have decided to stay here in Washington for another month to work some more (because when I told my boss, he looked like his dog had just died).

I help Charles move some stuff to his mom's house and of course I got hurt (one day, I will go a whole day with hurting a part of my body. SOME DAY!) by his coffee table top coming off and grinded a line into my right leg.

Went to the Movies and saw Crank and well it sucked no real plot or even good acting. The only interesting part was when Amy Smart's boob (yes a single boob, because apparently a complete rack shot would make her look slut. While showing one boob and being bent over a newpaper stand and getting pounded is classy) made a appear. it is sad that was the highlight of the whole movie.

I have had a crazy work schedule as of late (working grave and swing), all because one of the guards had to be fired (letting a car getting broke into right in front of the office window has that effect). So as of late I have been a little drained and why I haven't updated lately.

My Job has become a war zone, for many reason including but not limited to death, pay rates, new rules, old rules and well fit throwing. I doubt I will survive there through September, but of course I don't need to because I am moving to Texas here soon. So I have to just skate by and hope no one notices anything I do.

I am going to try and move everything from my blogspot account over to here, because I like Vox a whole lot more and Blogger didn't send me a beta invite, so its time for a little change up for right now.

I worked all last week, now I know it isn't a big deal for a person to work a week of 8 hour shifts. Well, it is really several reason why it is making this a big deal.

One reason is because my work schedule is pretty up in the air, I will either be working 5 days, 9 days or 20+ days in the month of August and it is driving me crazy.

Another big reason is because I have been working the 4 - midnight shift, which means I am getting there when either everyone is gone or leaving and so for the whole shift it is just me and the camera monitors  which can drive anyone insane.

Brain Age

So I have started bringing my Nintendo DS and the Game: Brain Age. which I most use for the game Sudoku, which I play for basically hours after I have done all my rounds. It is the only game I can really play and watch the monitors that the same time.

And in a bit of disappointing news, I no longer have to worry about being the "Go To Guy" for my boss, because last week she got fired. For no reason then being in the crossfire of the big boys upstairs fighting with each other. Of course the worst part is it was has been in the plan since three months ago but they used her until they could find a replacement. Welcome to the business world, PSH!

So, my job called me up yesterday and wanted to know if I could go train to work at another job site for like two days in August (Yes, I said two days) because a bunch of people jumped ship because my company is losing the contract in September.

Now I usually wouldn't be against it, for the fact is I understand my job needs the help sometimes. But, I have already done the whole helping thing for my company and as far as I am concerned it bite me square in the ass.

A month ago, they asked if I would be willing to train and work in a different position since I wouldn't be needed in the position I was in for about two months. So I went in and trained and they made it sound like I was going to be getting all these hours, then I get my schedule and I am only working 9 days (9 FUCKING DAYS!) the whole month. If they had told me that I would have been like no thank you and been done with it but too little, too late for that now I guess.

Of course, it gets even better because they hire another person at the same time as me, but they gave her hours (must be nice to be a friend of the supervisor's daughter) by having her on the weekend shift. Well the first weekend she was suppose to work she didn't show (didn't get fired might I add) and I got called in to help. The second weekend she was to work she got someone to cover for half her shift the first day and did work the second day. which is good because I worked the graveyard that weekend and I honest thought I would be working a double. Last weekend, she didn't even show up and she still has a job (WTF). So I am stuck in fill-in hell, yet this bum gets to do what she wants.

I finally get to work a full week of shift next week and was suppose to be getting 40 hours a week next month. It has also changed like three times so I doubt I will see anywhere close to that.

Today was the Washington Educator Career Fair. First let me say I if my teachers looked like the ones I saw today, I would of gone to school more. Secondly I would like to say I am really scared for the future because these people couldn't even follow simple (and I mean simple like straight forward) instructions and their attitudes well fucking suck , they were yelling and making smartass comments when they didn't get the answer they liked, how are they going to treat they students if they can't even act right in public.

Ok, my last issue with event has really nothing to do with it, what it does have to do with is the RV show that was going on in C lot. I don't know how many time I heard a person pull up and say "I thought it was free!" ok, no one in the parking lot is a psychic so if you want a proper answer you really need to have a complete thought. We hear that statement at every event so we will just think you are whining unless you fully explain what you are talking about, so next time try "I thought parking for *insert event name here* was free?" in a nice polite voice would also help alot.

(Music -- In Stereo -- Fort Minor)

Man, I have work like two overnights and am totally wiped. I did have two more but I gave them away to a guy at work that needed them a little more. I also worked The Wiggles, that show is just like a car accident you don't want to look but you can't help it.

Sara (she is the best) found me the Fort Minor CD from the guy in Linkin Park (I didn't even know he had a Solo CD.) I finally bought Odama for the Gamecube (as soon as I find words to describe it I will put up a review.)

Besides that I haven't done much.

The Fall Out Boy concert has landed in Tacoma (YAY!, don't I sound excited). They came with All-American rejects and some other bands, I worked my usual spot during a concert.

I did make my way inside and even got some pictures. So, there I was standing with a few people from work watching the show and this skinny Emo pink shirt wearing bitchass (OK, I don't know if I have ever explained how much I hate pink, salmon, WHATEVER YOU CALL IT! clothing for men. I think it should be a considered a minor or accessory color as in a tie but making your clothes choice by it, should cause you to get beat and stripped of your right to buy clothes--Except if you are a gay man, that is a whole different ball of wax.) comes walking by with a totally fucking hot chick. So I point them out and I am like "how the hell did he pull that off!", everyone looks and start laughing then we realize he is fucking smoking so we go over to him and tell him to put it out and he says going on about "other people are doing it"(SEE PINK SHIRT PEOPLE ARE ALWAYS ASSHOLES!) and we just look at him like tough shit and he finally put it out. After that fun we all when outside and emptied the parking lot, but I got stuck there for another 2 hours because we had to pick up all the equipment off the freeway.

I got home around 1:30am I stayed up until about 5 playing GTA: San Andreas.

I have made half way through my ten day straight work week. It began with selling parking passes for a day and then being a Cashier/Supervisor for two days. It was pretty boring and wet, it only really interesting thing was when some old lady went crazy on her husband for bring an asshole because he thought parking cost to much.

Yesterday and today I sold parking passes for the Home Show and tomorrow I have to work outside in the parking lot but I have no idea doing what yet. This year the show will be closing an hour early due to the fact of the Seahawks making it to the Superbowl (I honestly doubt they will win, but who knows). That is all for now anyway...

Toby Keith came to the dome once again. But due to the fact that some people had to cancel on their shift at work, I didn't get my usually spot of premium parking. I had to work as a crew leader the whole night parking cars (just as a sidenote: People still can't park, I serious had a person pull up and try to park in half a spot and think it was ok. No one seems to know how to turn to park into a spot without three or four attempts or backing in and even then they do a shitty job of parking). The crappy new "The Wolf" country radio station decided to try and crash a concert sponsored by a old and soild country station "KMPS" and it was only made worse by the fact that they were playing their musicd so loud that it just sounds like a trash instead of music ( for being new and starting out they are not too smart about getting into shit with a major venue, Idiots). I didn't stay any longer then I had too.
