My parents and I watched The Office tonight and I have to say ... one craaazay night!

I'm Rejecting Your Kiss )

I wonder if that lj-cut actually worked, well ... we'll see.

My First Day

So I got a job as you know or at least I think I told LJ that I had a job at Borders. The horrors and the panic attacks! A few days ago, Kalispell experienced its first snow storm of the season and the temps have dropped well considerably. So it's 5:40 AM, I go to leave and our truck dies due to the weather. I freak out. I have to be at work at 6:00 AM.

Long story short ... I made it at 6:30 and had to work until 11:30 AM, which is fine. I don't have any problems with that.

I learned about the cash register, how to take a check and a credit card, then cash. I messed up once on cash, I put the cash tendered at 5.99 but I gave the lady a penny back because she gave me 6.00, however I was told that was okay because I gave her the correct change. I did a few returns. That confused me because of the gift card for the checks and then the cash if you pay with cash.

*breathes*

I signed up two people to the Borders Rewards Program. There was a cutie pie (a man) whose e-mail address was mskitty@*****.com

O_O

I hope he was married and straight. *crosses fingers*

I have to go to work on Saturday, perhaps at the cash register. *pulls hair out* I'd love to actually work at the job I was hired for ... the cafe.

On November 11th, we have a mandatory store meeting where we exchange cookies. I'm going to ask Steve about that. Do they mean actual cookies will be exchanged? If so, I need to make some next week. Oh and later that day, I will be working by myself for 2 hrs. How great.

We have an employee discount which is really nice. Yeppah. Yep.

I get paid on the 10th, so whatever I do get on my first check ... I'm going to get some more outfits for work and some more comfy shoes.

It's a Blue Blue World



Jen decided to finally mess with the camera, months after getting it for a Christmas gift.

--------

I got to meet Senator Burns today - such a nice man - and I had to comment on his wife, Mrs. Burns. Then everyone listened in on a conference call between President Bush and the selected GOP offices today (Kalispell was one of the select chosen), he sounds like a nice guy and doesn't come off anywhere near as they make him sound (ie., sound bite edit) on the news (ie., stupid). Then I got my ticket for VP Cheney's visit to the Majestic on Wednesday. I hope my stupid ID doesn't cause problems, it's my ugly mug on it ... of course ... my ugly mug with lots of hair, lol. Then let's see... I went door to door and wow, people's houses.

And then I thought I had to come into work tonight EXCEPT I haven't gone through all 38 hours of training by Tuesday morning, I would have at least 8 of those hours done with it.

Right, right ... I GOT HIRED AT BORDERS ... wooo...hooooooooooo!

I'm not going to promise anything but my stupid LJ is HTML unfriendly so I did try to post icons and they wouldn't work ... all that did was stupid  coding. Gr. But I shall try again. I was trying to create those neat little icon generator. Whatever, it's called.

Yes that's me in the icon photo ... everyone at the time was doing the Sexyback across their face, I just decided to take the logo from the photo that I had taken by SSG Warner of moi in front of the Greg Biffle (NASCAR, #16) car this year at the fair.

Hey, next time? Let the person know you're taking a photo.

Shows

Here are my thoughts on the shows I've seen so far this season:

Prison Break: Some of the plots are a little out there ... and why wasn't T-Bag actually killed? But then again, the hand sequence, little odd, too! My favorite storyline is Sara and Kellerman. Between the Army and the Secret Service then the Company and whomever he's working for now - he must have been taught really well about acting gay. His personality changes like *that* but also I think he's doing it for the good of his country. Hey, what's the streets without one less criminal (Burrows?) .. safer, that's what. I noticed that .. there are three other presidents on all the TV shows. So they're on the 46th president.

NCIS: Gibbs has to shave. Shave, Gibbs, puh-leeeassse!

L&O: SVU (or is it SUV ;) ): Olivia and Elliot are partners. Plus, more screen time for Stabler.

The Unit: The ho has some morals and stood up to the Colonel plus she dyed her hair! Yes! And Bob's baby son needs a name. Let's just name him Jonas and get the thing done with. What do they call it? "Baby" ?!?

CSI: LV: Eeeh....

Woot

Graduated last Saturday (the 3rd)
---------------------------------------------

So last week I quit most caffeine (yes this includes my beloved Iced Lattes from City Brew) and now I’m just drinking orange juice and iced tea. I still need to get water back into my daily diet, I was going pretty good at school. I’ve also decided to get back exercising since my foot is better. Yesterday I walked over 2 miles and I just did 34 pushups in 50 seconds. And I always hated push-ups in PE, mainly because of the floor at semester time, my hand slipped out from me because it was so sweaty.

*breathes*

-------------------------------------------

The Dixie Chicks are Hoes!

"Howard asked the girls about getting laid but they’re all married so they’re not all out getting screwed. They said that they all have nannies who take care of their kids and they’re the one’s out getting laid. Howard asked them why they would hire hot nannies because their husbands might be home banging them. One of the girls said that if they’re going to cheat, they’re going to cheat no matter who it is.”

“Howard found out that Marty had a threesome at one point so he tried to get more information about that. She said that it was more of an unwanted friend coming into the room while she and her boyfriend were having sex. Natalie was the one who put the story out there so Marty wasn’t too thrilled about that. Howard and the guys asked Marty about what she was doing to get the guys. She said that she was doing more than drinking but didn’t want to get into it too far.”

“Howard took a phone call and one guy asked what kind of panties the girls were wearing. Natalie said she doesn’t wear them at all. She said she won’t wear them until the war is over. Howard asked her if she packs a vibrator when she goes on the road. She said she won’t pack one when flying but she does own one.”

“Marty said she has to wear underwear. Natalie said they have to tell that story. She said that Marty attempted to go pantyless but they went to Nobu down in Miami once and when they were leaving Nobu she had to ask if there was a stain on her dress. She asked Natalie to check her dress and she had a stain because she got kind of moist from the interviewer who was there. She said she has no problem getting lubricated when she’s with a man.”

“Jeff the Drunk called in and asked which of the girls give the best head. Howard said that was disgusting but wanted to know the answer. Natalie said that they don’t know who gives the best but Marty is pretty experienced because her stories used to start off ‘’So, I was giving this guy a blow job...’’ Howard asked about swallowing. Natalie said that she’s tasted it but she won’t swallow it. Marty said that she will hold it in her mouth until she can find the proper place to put it. Howard asked what the proper place is. Emily was being very quiet so he asked her what was going on. Emily said she wants to know why guys are so into having girls swallow it. Howard said that guys like to finish where they’re at. When a girl spits it out, it’s like they’re saying ‘’Eww, you’re gross.’’ Natalie said that Emily can’t answer a question with a question so she wanted to know if she swallows. Emily said it all depends on how drunk she is."

After Action Report

In the Army, the pay is mighty fine, they give you a hundred dollars and take by ninety-nine! Oh mom, I wanna go home but they won't let me go...

I am positive this is the only post that will take about 24 hours to finish with considerable long breaks in this period. Why? Because I'm actually starting this on the 26th of May at 1:38 in the morning. But since it's memorial day weekend, might as well make it worth your time to read! *winks* First off, we'll be starting with what's not new in my life:

1) Tuesday - went down and visited my fellow moody soul - SFC Crippen - and needless to say when I'm there, I also bring the laughs because I got hit by a whad of crumbled up paper by SFC Feisthamel whom immediately got it tossed back at him (square in the back) and found out to be in the SMP (you're in the military/going to college at the same time, basically ROTC) you only need to be barely breathing. That's all. Feisthamel seemed to like my idea of getting maimed and having a shallow pulse to join. Basically it was another pointless visit and my friend pushed off a majority of spilled frozen lemonade onto their carpet. *hits head on desk* I hope it didn't stain it. But I have to say that I whipped the evidence from the table with my grey jacket sleeve. I called my recruiter, Crippen, a party pooper and the fact that he wasn't a man (he says he cries every day). Some day, we'll talk without making fun of each other. Some day, dammit!
2) Wednesday - popped my ankle, foot doesn't seem to hurt so much anymore if at all, which is extremely good news. Mom thinks maybe my ankle was out of whack before I popped it. Now I just wish my thumb would stop hurting.
3) Thursday - Huge headache - damn you lilacs!!! When I become President, all lilac trees will be removed prior to my visit to each and every town in the United States. And yes, I will be visiting even yours.
4) Friday - I'm pretty sure Mr. Manning is making us lunch or ordering us lunch later today and the unfortunate luck (*winks*) of shopping with my maman. 
5) Saturday - Hair cut for graduation!

Plus I'm on a diet - it seems to be working well. Now if I could only get to bed earlier.

Hm...

- Do the Dixie Chicks know when to shut up? Hm no. Lately they've been putting down Reba McEntire, Bill O'Reilly, Toby Keith, the President AND the ladies of the View:

Fox New has an article where Emily Robinson apologizes to the View ladies for insulting them while trying to praise  Bruce Springsteen, saying that they want to be more like him and that they would never go on the show. Emily was saying that they just pulled the show out of the air. Hm. It's more like the 700 Club is far too below Bruce and the Dixie Chicks not the View. Plus Emily, does the Boss have a small fan base? Hm no. Try another one. Now please - shut up and sing dammit!

--------

Bluebell?!?

- Ginger Spice got knocked up and had a kid: Bluebell Halliwell

This adorable kid will have a messed up life of getting the crap kicked out of her. I think Apple is a cute name but then Gwyneth has to give her son psychological problems by naming him after an heroic  Bible figure of Moses. Now ... Miss Bluebell Madonna! *bangs head again* No, no, no! Change your name girl as soon as you get the chance to do so. No one will blame you.

Next celebrity that names their child something weird will have a little one-on-one talk with me. I swear to God.

*shakes fist*

Fact of the Week (according to Sgt. Perkins - my brother)

- Women blink nearly twice as much as men.

True dat because men pretend to listen by going O_O all the time. Duh!

Update on 26.05.06

- What the hell, Sharon Stone?!? Bono would disagree with you about this because you're making up crap, as usual and the fact that you're a bad actress.

"Our president has spent $167 million on abstinence programs," she said. "And zero dollars on sex education. Zero dollars on teaching about safe sex."


Her remarks, part of an impassioned plea, were met with thunderous applause and instant approval. Before the night was over, AmFar raised $4.5 million for AIDS research, a new high level mark and $1 million more than last year.


How shocking. Here I'll teach someone something about safe sex... don't have sex until you're married. Don't rape women while knowing perfectly well that you are infected. Don't have sex that will produce children infected with AIDS (though AIDs in children is almost a thing of the past), do not leave your children orphans because you're too busy getting laid with HIV chromosomes. Until then.... you're problem. Most of the governments in Africa are very wealthy, so why must we fund their stupidity? Why? Are they paying too much attention to the their blood diamonds?

Here's an example where an Liberal wants someone to pay attention to their topic and not another topic (Iraq, Afghanistan, war on terror). Why? Because it makes them look smarter in general (when they're not). Well AIDs is an important issue that demands attention, it cannot physically be answered any time soon in adults. Why must people feel like they have to cure a disease for stupid adults? It's the children, we should be worried about not someone who knows full well what sex is and then they proceed to do it any way.

There's 5 potential outcomes to sex:
1) you're pregnant or you impregnant someone, 2) you end up getting an STD, 3) you end up getting and STD AND getting pregnant (aren't you a lucky idiot?) and 4) you get HIV/AIDs and eventually die and 5) nothing happens.

5 outcomes! Learn them and teach them.
