I know I said that I would be doing the blog more now that I am not at my bullshit stressful retail job, but apparently that was a lie. My new job isn’t nearly as stressful or full of bullshit, but then again I’ve only been there for three weeks now. I could go on another tirade of how my new job isn’t retail just to annoy Lisa, but I think I’ve beat that dead horse to death, instead I’ll just mention how I switched jobs at the right time since the gas price has decided to reach for the sky. A little quick math lesson here, my old job was about a 30 mile round trip each day, multiplied by 5 days (during a good week) would mean 150 miles minimum that I was putting on my car. This past week do you know how many miles I put on going to work? Well, do you? A little over 20 miles is all I put on this week, not including the other 20 miles I put on just driving around to other places. I saved 130 miles of driving for the past 3 weeks and now with gas just teetering on the edge of that $3 mark, I’m extremely happy. When I quit my job gas was still around $2.29 or maybe $2.49, what the fuck do I look like, a gas price historian? I know you’re probably waiting for me to start bitching about the high price of gas but it really doesn’t bother me anymore. The thing that really annoys me about it is that every time I turn on my television I have to see a report about it. Oh, we are being gouged and this is unjust and wah wah wah… look, if it takes $3 gas to make you realize that you’re being gouged in this world then it’s about time you woke up and smelled the coffee. The extremely cold coffee I might mention, since it took you so long to figure it out.
If I was going to bitch about something it would probably be the episode of South Park that was on last week considering no regular characters were on (and no, Towelie isn’t a regular character as far as I’m concerned). However I don’t really feel like wasting my time pissing and moaning about that either.
Hey, on the bright side, my class is over and done with, although I do have to attempt to sign up for some starting in June. So far all they are offering me are flex lab classes but I need to find out how much of a flex they are offering. If I am able to go after work and do my stuff then it would be great, but none of this 7am to 3 shit, because I can’t cut away from work like that. On the plus side I’ll have some financial help from work to get my classes paid for so that will be a headache I can do without.
I guess if I’m looking for excuses as to why I haven’t blogged lately I can use the one that I’ve been developing a website for someone and now I’ve gotten a bug up my ass to redo this website. I know, you’re shocked that I’d be redeveloping my site yet again. I’ve got a basic layout in mind but I’m not sure which way I’m leaning yet so it might be a completely different look from what is in my head right now, and most likely will be. That’s the thing about being indecisive, I’ll make a page about 10 times before I’m satisfied and that will be the one I do. Maybe I’m not indecisive, I’m just perfect.
Hey Dave,
Great to hear your life beyond retail is working out! I expect to be outplaced due to competence and hard work within the next year or so from my wretched Grocery job, so it’s great to hear from a survivor who’s doing OK!
