Wishful thinking only gets you so far.
I don't know how it was in your neck of the woods, but it suuuuuuucked here. We had to of gotten around ten inches. Winter sucks. It really does.
Makes me half wish I was still in high school. I mean how many days did the kids get off? Like two or three? The only bad thing is they have to make it up. Whatever, I have to work everyday of the year. Cry me a river.
So I saw Saw V the other night. They just keep getting worse. And leaving them wide open in the end. Why don't you just stop watching them you say? Well, they're those movies that the first two were good and go downhill from there, but you are just drawn to them like magnets. I have to see what happens in the next one. I have stopped watching them in theater though. So instead of wasting money and time, I'm just wasting time. But I get to do it in my bed eating bons bons. Not that I actually eat bon bons. They do sound good though!
So to sum it up, if you can keep from watching it, do so.
Think we'll get more snow next week? I hope not, but if we do, make that shit worthwhile so a mofo really can't drive to work!

Spring's almost here....right?
On a side note, maybe it will be so bad that I won't have to go to work tomorrow. Ha! Yeah right. If we got 3 feet of snow---36 INCHES!!--we would still have to risk our lives going to work. God forbid we miss that one customer call.
I want to stay home and sit on my ass all day. ALL DAY I say. I forgot what it feels like to do absolutely nothing on a weekday. It must be a dream come true. Then a couple weeks rolls around and you're bored to death. Or the bills need to be paid.
I need a sugar daddy. If you know of anyone, send them my way. (256, if you read this, he's just a side dish..you're the entree!)

Finally, success!....and sadness :(
I sold my car today. Didn't sell it for what I really wanted, but what can you expect for a car that doesn't have much going for it. I was actually rather sad to see it go. And yes, if you were asking to be a smartass, I did cry. You see this car has gotten me through a lot. I had never had a mechanical problem with it and it always came through for me. Especially when I came back from Florida. That little old car drove me 1300 miles. I had it for just under ten years. I guess you could say it was a part of me. And it's sad when a part of you goes away. I guess I'm just a sentimental retard.
We ALL know it had it's little problems. Humorous ones at that. I guess it isn't even the one that had problems. I'm the one with the problems. The car just happened to be there. It doesn't take a genious to figure out I'm not the brightest candle in the box.
Anyway, that's my excitement for the day. Good bye old Pos! :(

Yes, as a matter of fact I do still have a job.
We have customers, they have terms that we set, you don't pay, we send you to collections. The way we figure up terms is by sending out credit checks to the credit references they provide us. Well one company sent us their references and sent out the forms for the provided companies to fill out. I sent out three and got one back. This reference sucked.....bad. They are in debt to this company for like $165 THOUSAND and their terms are COD. Which is cash on delivery. You don't have the cash when we deliver, you don't get the parts. So prepayment for you it is! In other words, you pay us before we even ship, or you ain't gettin shit.
So we don't hear from them for a month or two. Well two or three weeks ago a guy from there contacts me and asks me about it. I told them about the credit reference and that they are prepayment. He comes back and tells me they can't do prepayment and asks if they can do 50% down and the rest when they get the parts. My initial response...not a chance. But I asked the other girl in the office what I should tell him and she basically said the same thing. Got back to him but he is adamant about getting these terms. So I emailed his response to the girl with the following statement:
What should I tell this dumb bastard? He says they don’t have credit cards.
Well, I didn't get a response from her. Yesterday he calls and wants to talk to the person in charge. I'm like ok and put him on hold and sum my boss up on the situation. He talks to the guy for a while. He hangs up and comes out says something about an email.
Turns out I'm so brilliant, instead of hitting the forward button and putting in the other girls name, I hit the reply button. Omigod, omigod, omigod. How can a person be so fucking stupid?!?!
Basically my boss, obviously upset about it, says he's got my back. Come again? No punishment for this? Not this time....
All in all, I pretty much got off scott free. I narrowly escaped the guiotine once again. Holy crap.
I'm lucky I'm good with the other customers and he "likes to hear my voice". Or else, I may have gotten the axe. Props to my boss for being so awesome. Although, in the end, the guy got more then he really wanted. 100% due on receipt, which is payment due when you recieve the invoice (which I mail out the day after the parts ship). Dumb bastard.
Good holy lord, I'm an idiot.

Selling cars sucks
Would you trade for a ps3
it comes with rockband + drums (and sticks), guitar, foot pedal, and microphone
mlb 08 the show
nascar 09 + logitech steering wheel and foot pedals
2 ps3 wireless controllers
2 ps3 hdmi cables
spiderman 3 blue ray
Are you f-ing serious?? First of all, I very rarely play games. And if I do, it is at someone else's house. And I certainly do not want a playstation...for a fucking car at that! Man, go the fuck on..
Oh and then some chick offers me $450. I emailed her back with the following:
"are you serious? i can get more out of it for parts if it weren't running"
Was that mean? But really, be more retarded.
Car for sale!!
My first blog...awww!
So if you're reading this, you are probably one of the three or less that has. God bless you, you must be really bored.
Hope to see you back soon!
