well, its been a long time since i have posted....oh well. im over it.
so i have been stuck here in the soo all through christmas, with no
megan, no family, and very little time off. let me say, it has SUCKED!
thankfully, megan will be on her way back up here on sunday and i cant
WAIT to see her!!! missed her more than anything over break! other than
that, the usual concerns have been eating away at me. money, school,
yadda yadda yadda. im getting sick of it. working my ASS off for
pennies. id like to be done with college and working at a hospital
somewhere making decent money and not having to live in an
abandoned cold war-era military radar base. yes, its nice that im
off campus, and have some financial responsibility, but when you are
working about 70 hours a week at two part time jobs (not including
school) and only bringing home $600 for two weeks of work, you'd start
getting a little pissed off too. i shouldnt complain tho, there are
others that have it worse than I. on the lighter side, i passed all my
classes and am starting the nursing program in the coming semester.
(insert emoticon: "geeked") cant wait for that to start. clinical
microbiology, pharmacology and two nursing classes should keep me
plenty busy. damn i have a massive headache....sorry for that kind of
random right now. anyway...im going to attempt to go to bed. gotta be at work at 3pm. fun stuff huh? night (morning) ya'll.
So I called my boss saturday night to see if I could have the night off on sunday night so that I could spend time with my parents...he says ok and i have a great night sunday night eating homemade cheese sausage soup and french bread and sleeping like a normal person. I wake up in the morning and go eat breakfast with my parents and then head to holiday to get breakfast for megan. i get there and say hi to Pat and he dosent say anything to me except for "I shouldnt have let you take off last night" and nothing more. Apparently NOTHING got done. The little pot smoking tramp that took over my shift didnt do SHIT!! So now, less than a week before I am done working at holiday, my replacement demonstrates that she cannot do her job properly. (Probably has something to do with smoking pot at work huh?) So, my week has started out pretty damn sucky. I failed my stats test last friday and, now my professor just called me out in class for typing on here. I am gonna flip one of these days and just ... I dunno. Flip. People are pissing me off more and more lately. people are selfish, lazy, and annoyingly STUPID! i finally have a good weekend seeing my parents and people just have to ruin it! I feel like quitting school and moving out of the country and becoming a hermit. Its not even 10am and im already pissed as hell because of the stupid actions of stupid people. Zeusdamnit!
So my summer has been insane. Working around 40-50 hours a week at the gas station, going to summer classes, (which i might add, i ACED!) and trying to find the time to have some sembalance of a social life. summer however is drawing to a close (for better or for worse) and its time to get back in to the swing of things. Just so all of you know...never buy your books at the LSSU bookstore. for all of my books i would have paid $466.80. I got mine online (in brand new condition) for $250. now...you do the math. same books, great condition if not new, for waaaaayyyyyy cheaper. freaking rip-off at the bookstore. anway, im happy to say that megan is back in town (yayage!!) but i havent gotten to see her much due to my odd sleep cycle and strange hours (by-product of this summers strange work and school hours) and her RA/CA training. Oh well i guess. shit happens. best of luck to all those starting a new year of school, be it college or otherwise.
I have never
once in my entire life been asked nicely to leave the toilet seat in
some specific position.
It seems as if it is some sort of rule that women cannot simply request
this of someone, they have to break into a song-like rant, spitting
obscenities and shaking their finger at you. I by no means wish to clump ALL women into this group. I am not leaving out the possibility that only women Iassociate
with have this problem. So basically, when I refer to "women" in this
little rant, take it with a grain of salt. You know who you are....those women...
Recently, while watching "Bill Cosby Himself" with my girlfriend, I noted that during a joke he was doing, he said something about leaving the toilet lid down
as being a bad thing. My girlfriend explained, while glaring at me,
that leaving the lid and the seat down is just as bad if not worse than
leaving both of them up.
This is apparently due to the fact that when one has to pee, they plop
down on the lid, cannot tell that it is down and begin to pee on the lid.
So as a male, apparently I am expected to make up for this deficiency by making sure that the lid is always left in the correct position.
In the interest of not falling into the toilet and/or urinating on myself, I always make sure to look before I sit down. I find the concept of "not looking" interesting. How exactly does one not see the condition of the toilet before sitting on it? The only solutions I have been able to come up with on my own (since females seem uninterested or unable to tell me) are these:
Women enter the bathroom with their eyes closed or while staring at the ceiling.
Women open the bathroom door and then proceed to back into the bathroom using their rear-end to locate the toilet.
One time, when I was about seven, my skinny little ass
fell into the toilet because I had left the toilet seat and lid up.
Having no girth to speak of I fell right in and dipped my bare hiney in
the cold (yet thankfully clean) toilet water. This was not only embarrassing but uncomfortable as well. Since that day, I have never fallen into or even come close to falling into the toilet. Might I also remind everyone that men sit down, too.
Personally in the comfort of my own home (where the toilet seat is
relatively clean), I rather prefer sitting down due to the fact that it
is plainly less taxing and requires no aiming or standing (not that
aiming and standing are all that big a task, I am just lazy).
This rant isn't due to the fact that I am unwilling to help women with this admitted deficiency. Rather, I find it infuriating
that because women are seemingly unable to check to make sure that the
toilet seat is down, they take this anger out on me. It becomes my
deficiency, I am less of a person because I cannot remember to put the
seat down/lid up. I can understand the embarrassment of urinating on
ones self and or falling into a toilet, but getting angry with someone
else because you did something foolish is rather immature. In some Asiatic/Middle-eastern countries, they have unisex restrooms where they squat over holes in the ground and "wipe" by splashing water on themselves. I propose a compromise, you may keep complaining and we men shall suffer it for about 10 minutes before taking a hack saw and simply removing the source of debate. Problem solved, you must now "hover".
