The Sword of Inscaprion

Today at work I was blanking parts that take so long I could sit down for 2 minutes after each one. This was cool for the first little while because I got to rest up and cool off a bit. After a while though I began to get antsy. Each part that I blank has an extra piece attached to it when it comes out that I have to remove. These extra bits are thrown in a big bin and eventually sold as scrap. I was playing around with a bunch of pieces of scrap when I found a long straight piece with a funny shaped end. I folded this end to wrap around my wrist a through my middle and ring fingers. I then proceeded to swing it around like an awesome sword. I, of course, was the coolest person at the plant cause I had an awesome sword like weapon until I swung it around real hard and hit the side of the scrap bin. The sword managed to snap apart and really hurt my wrist. Luckily it was pretty much time to go so it wasn't a bit deal that my arm hurt so bad I couldn't do my job. Time well spent.

I Guess I'll Have to Get an IPhone...damn...

Today while I was at work I must have crashed into something. At the end of the day I pulled my phone out of my pocket to check the time (watches are for losers) and the small screen on the front wasn't working! This really pisses me off. Already I have a pretty basic phone but it was in good shape and worked well. Without the front screen though, this phone is trash.

I want to get an IPhone a new phone that isn't too expensive and is rather nice. I don't really know anything about what phones are available though. I guess I'll just keep my crappy one for the summer and then worry about it in the fall. I don't really have any money anyway.

Andrew's Lunch Capers

My brother is kind of not all there. Especially in the morning when he just wakes up, which makes for some interesting times at work. See Andrew is too lazy to bother making his lunch the night before(I am too!), so often he is left to quickly throw one together in the morning. Often something microwavable(hurray for Free Radicals!!).

Now these food stuffs require utensils to eat, especially when fresh out of the microwave, but often Andrew is too rushed to remember to bring one. It usually takes until lunchtime for him to realize he doesn't have a fork or spoon. If I have one I will lend it to him but often I don't bring one cause I don't need one(I eat a lot of pizza pops).

So far there have been three times that he has forgot and hasn't been able to borrow one. The first time he needed a spoon. After asking me and searching all through his lunch bag and the lunchroom, he decided he would buy a cup of Chinese noodles out of the vending machine cause they came with a spoon. It cost him $2.50 to eat his packed lunch that day and I'm pretty sure he still has the noodles.

The second time it was a fork that he forgot. See he had a chicken pie that you leave in the box when you microwave. Deciding not to spend money to eat his own lunch, he fashioned a make-shift spoon out of the cardboard box. It was basically just a folded piece of cardboard that he used like a scoop. Quite humorous.

The third and most recent time(today in fact) he was attempting to eat left-over beef stir fry. When he realized he had no utensil, he of course cursed his face off and then looked everywhere for something to help him eat. After searching my lunch bag and his own pockets, he decided to use the two pens he found as chop sticks. Suffice it to say they were pretty disgusting after he was done with them. The grossest part is that he had been using his pen all day to write on his time card, and I'm pretty sure he cleaned it off and continued to use it after lunch. Now I don't know how messy his hands get when he works but I know that mine are just covered in grease when I go to write on my time card.

All in all it was pretty disgusting. I'm hoping he can get even more creative the next time he forgets...oh yes there will be a next time.

Mood: Happy

Hooray for time off work!

So glad I don't have to go to work next week. Looking forward to a party my sister is throwing tomorrow and going to my aunt and uncles this weekend.

Mood: Excited

I don't want to go to work

Pretty much self explanatory.

Mood: Depressed

Laid off...

So I found out that after tomorrow afternoon's shift I will be off for at least one week. In a way this is so totally awesome and I'm so glad that I'm laid off, but it also means no money for me. I'm not too worried if it's only for the one week but if it lasts any longer than that I might be screwed.

I'm going to my aunt and uncles house this weekend for the Holiday. I'm hoping the lake will be nice and warm because I love to swim. I'm also hoping to get some wakeboarding or jetskiing done. I'll probably take my laptop up with me too so I can get a start on making some of the games I've been wanting to make all summer. I figure I should make some crappy games and get used to the language and pipeline before diving into making my own epic masterpiece.

Factory Work is the Lame!

I have had it with working in a factory. It sucks so much. Ok, maybe not all factories suck, i don't know, but the one I work for is horrible. I need to find a much better job that pays me good money. I shouldn't hate work this much. Its not cool.
