STUPID ENTER KEY!!!

Once again I wanted a new paragraph but couldn't make one. So you are probally reading these all wrong. Look at the right hand side of your screen, use the nav bar to find them in correct order. But what I wanted to write about in this new lovley paragraph is that my foot surgery went fine. My toe looks all kinds of ugly now but that is life. Soon the pain from the surgery (which isn't really that bad) will go away and I will be able to walk normal and put shoes on with out excrutiating pain! Won't that be exciting! Well I am going to finnish this now becuase I am hungry and I need to make food. So adios.

AHH stupid computers!

So I wanted to make a new paragraph under that last one but for some reason the ENTER button wouldn't do anything. Not real sure why. So now that I have been fired you might be asking your self "Self? How on earth can Mark be online if he isn't at work???" Well friends the answer is simple, what do I do when I loose my only source of income? Well I go out and get a new bill to pay every month. That's right I went out and got internet at home. So now I can search for jobs....and look at porn at home. This of course did not come without it's own set of new problems. For one my computer is several years old now, nearly seven or so I think. So that means it isn't what you would call "up to date" it runs slow, it freezes up all the damn time (I think I have restarted about twenty times today alone) and it won't download a lot of the new software it needs. I can't for some reason open this website in internet explorer. I can open it in AOL just fine (minus the ENTER key thing) but who wants to be in stupid AOL all the damn time? NOT ME!

Canned....

Suspended....pending termination. So I wasn't so much suspended as I was fired. I mean I was suspended until I went in and signed the stupid paper work but it didn't matter. I had a strong feeling that was the case. My stupid manager was just too much of a coward to tell me to my face. I think I am actually more mad now that he didn't tell me then I would have been if he would have just manned up and told me to my face. What kind of a manager is he that he can't even have the diginaty to fire someone. As I said COWARD!

Suspended...

So today has been just one giant shit-fest. I came in last night and the night manager (not supervisor but actual manager) told me that the big boss (the one I spoke with when I was asking for a promotion) was coming in first thing in the morning to talk to me. I have learned that when the boss wants to talk to you it is not a good thing. If it was good he would just send an e-mail or something. So I asked her if she knew what it was about, she said she thought it had something to do with me calling in sick over the weekend. (I called in Friday, Saturday, and Sunday) I asked her was I not allowed to get sick? She replied that she thought it was more to do with the time of day I called in vs. actually calling in (which I would have been fine with since I called in about thirty minutes to an hour before my shift started each day as I was trying to get up to come in). So morning comes, and he actually shows up early to talk to me (which I know isn't a good sign since he is the one that never keeps appointments). I finnish my work and go to his office to talk. He lays it down that since I called in this weekend and I had been late ONE DAY since he talked to me several weeks ago that I was being suspended. He asked me if I had a doctors note for calling in, to which I replied "No since I don't run to the doctor everytime I get the flu. I have had thousands of flus over my life and at this point I know what a doctor would say 'Get plenty of rest and drink lots of fluids'." Plus Mom had the revelation that it was the weekend and I couldn't have gone to see a doctor even if I wanted to. So I asked if I was being punished for being sick? He said I wasn't being "punished" but rather some other stupid wording that ment the same thing. I said that he was argueing semanticts and that what ever word he used and punished ment the same thing. He went on to say that it was excessive the amount of days I have been late and called in sick (in my entire year and three months I have been here) to which I responded "where is it spelled out how many days I can be late or sick? I want to see in black and white how many days in a month, six months, a year etc. I can call in sick or be late. What is excessive if it isn't defined anywhere??" He resonded "that the managment is left to decide what is excessive." I just think that it is bullshit that I can get suspended for calling in sick, it's not like I call in sick often, hell before this month I hadn't called in in like four months. I had sick time saved up that I was planning on using for these days so if I had managed to save up enough sick time to take three days off how could I have been excessive?? I am so angry I don't even know what to do. I don't know if I was even supposed to come in tonight, the boss was supposed to call me during the day to tell me when I had to go speak with HR and he never did. I called him three times and left voice mail asking if he had spoken with HR and if I was supposed to come into work tonight or not. He never called me back. On the last message I left I said that if I didn't hear from him I was going to assume I was supposed to come to work tonight.

To top things off my god damn paypal account is still sitting at a negitive balance since the ass-bag from e-bay was too impatient to wait a couple of days for me to ship his stupid items and filed a claim with paypal. So now I can't get money sent into that account so I am having to have money sent to Eric's paypal account. I have sent the moron several e-mails telling him to fix it and he still hasn't. The items have been delievered and he still sits. That douche.

If things weren't bad enough I looked at my bank account tonight and noticed that I have eight dollars and change to my name right now. Mom loaned me a hundred dollars on Sunday but several things were deleyed in going through so I had less money then I thought I had which is why I am so broke. Plus e-bay took their twenty some odd dollar selling fees this week, and my damn netflix went through, both of those I wasn't expecting. I think I need to start looking for another job, maybe two depending on how long I am going to be suspended for.

What is it about life that when things get bad everything gets bad all at once?? I can never have just one problem I have to have ten. One or two I could deal with and fix, everything all at once is overwhelming.

Thursday I go into the foot doctor to have surgery on my toe..again..for the twentyith god damn time. I was planning on going down to West Palm so I could lounge around Mom and Dad's place while my foot healed but now I don't know if I can afford to do that.

With no more guilding the lilly....

I'm back cats and kittens! Here we are again gathered around your computer screen, reading my words instead of looking at interent porn. Man you need a better hobby. Just kidding with you. So once again I am at work, and once again I am alone... this time it wasn't someone calling in or anything it was planned this way. I really hope that when it is time for performance reviews (which in turn means raises!) they remeember who is the only person they trust to stay here alone! So help me if I get a bad review I am going to burn the building down with everyone trapped inside. (no I'm not so don't anyone get all nurvous or call me a terrorist or anything) There was something I wanted to write last night, but I forgot what it was...perhaps later I will remember. Tonight is going so-so as of now. The overnight F/D monkey is starting to get on my nerves tonight. He doesn't seem to be able to solve any problem on his own, even simple shit. It's annoying as hell to have to tell him what to do when someone needs to find a pharmacy right now, and then exctally how to do it.

So tomorrow marks the first day of the last weekend of Star Wars Weekends at Disney. I still haven't, at two thirty six in the AM, decided which costume I am going to wear tomorrow. I don't know why I am having such a hard time deciding but it is being a pain in the ass.

I haven't been sleeping well these last couple of days, and I am not real sure why. But it has been a nice chance to get some stuff done I needed to. I got Garry's Seethreepeeo head all painted and finnished, I got all the prep work done on the clone long rifle I have, and the Boba Fett ROTJ helmet for a TDH member done. All of that has been nice, not sleeping has not been so nice...

Speaking of not so nice, I got my car insurance reinstated and while that is a good thing the two hundred and seventy dollars it cost me wasn't. All that becuase Mom couldn't figure out how to make the auto-pay feature work correctally. She set it up (according to her) but it never worked correctally, and for some reason I never got a bill. So my insurance got cancelled, I found out when the state sent me a letter saying my DL was going to be suspended. So I got it fixed but man I am pissed about it. So now of course I am broke, and the new girl at work was supposed to be taking some Disney tickets from me to the tune of two hundred dollars worth and now she isn't. I hate counting on other people for money and then them falling through.

Ah I did remember what I wanted to talk about yesterday...it's the moron. Some how she is regressing in her ability to do her job. On two seperate nights she did the first half of the audit when I wasn't here. On both of these nights she managed to screw it up. The report that I fill out everynight that is part of the first half of the audit tells you when you don't do it correctally, as soon as you finnish it. All of the other reports that are done at night don't do this, you would have to have someone notice the problem and then e-mail you with what you did wrong. Not this report, intant confirmation if you did it right or not. Somehow the moron did the report wrong, on both nights she was here, and didn't even attempt to correct it. One night she just left it, the next night she just told the new girl "tell who ever(as if she didn't know it was going to be me!) does the report that it was off yesterday". NO SHIT MORON! THE REPORT TELLS ME THAT! I of course had to go back in on both days and figure out why she was off, and correct them. It took me all of thirty seconds to correct the first day, and less then five to correct the second day, that is how stupid she is. I really wish stupidity hurt the stupid, in the end it only really hurts the rest of us.

Well I think I will leave you with these final words of wisdom, if you can't think of a single one of your friends whom you are smarter then, you are the idiot of your group. Perhaps it's time to work on that, and I mean fix your self not find dumber friends.

Man I don't want to be here tonight!

So here I am again... I wish I wasn't here....but alas I am. I called in yesterday, not because I was sick or anything I just didn't want to come in. Well what actually happened is after SWW I went to lunch with a group of my friends and after lunch I went home. It was around two thrity when I went home. I went pretty much right to sleep, I think I was actually sleeping by three thrity. I set my alarm to wake me up at ten pm. Needless to say that didn't happen. I woke up at ten fourty (mind you I needed to leave at ten thrity) and decided that instead of being late and getting yelled at for that I would just call in. So I did. And I went right back to sleep. It was fantastic! I slept all night long until seven thrity in the AM. I got up and went to Star Wars weekends and was wide awake and fresh for that. Of course I was up all damn day since I got so much sleep so now I am tired all over again but stuck here at work. It was pretty funny though when I called in the manager got on the phone and said that it was just the moron and the new front desk monkey and asked me if I thought they would be allright...to which I promptly responded, "hm..no I don't think she will be". I got off the phone and had a solid chuckle over that bit. But I guess the manager took what I said to heart as she had one of the day time f/d (front desk, I am going to start writing that as such from now on) monkeys stay untill four thrity. And from what the f/d monkey told me her and the moron nearly had it out! It was fantastic.

So speaking of the moron, the managers, and me, I guess I can tell you that I talked to the big boss about the promotion on Saturday... and no, I am not getting it. His answer is that it "isn't in the budget right now." Now I don't know if that is the real answer or if he is just being nice and telling me no without being mean. I did manage to vent most of my problems about the moron to him though and he said he was going to talk with her about them.

So just one more weekend of Star Wars weekends left, then nothing until Dragon Con. I don't know how I feel about that, I mean I have really enjoyed the marching and what not but I am kind of tired of doing it. What am I saying?? No I am enjoying every minute of it! As a matter of fact check out a couple of pics of the event. I only have pics of me in the tusken but I have worn my Boba twice as well.
That is me on the right:
Me on the left:

And me holding hands with the female tusken:

Well that is all for now. Who knows I might have more to talk about later if I think of something else to say. So until then...

I'm not dead, are you?

I forgot to put in the last post a fun thing I have been doing for years. If you don't see someone for a while (more then a few days think months or years) assume they are dead. Don't take other people's word for it that they aren't dead tell your self they are until you see them again. Trust me it feels really nice when you see someone you thought to be dead isn't. Plus they always get excited when you look really excited to see them, little do they know it's because you thought they were sleeping with the fishes. Try it out, it's a little sad at first, but eventually you get used to thinking everyone is dead and then the sadness goes away and the good times roll.
