I got a new job. Down at Tesar printing. $8/hr, 6am-4pm, Monday-Thursday, which means I'll have to leave for work at about 5:25am. Not sure what I'll be doin yet---some random stuff. Yep.

****VERY BIG EDIT****
I got fired.

Yeah...
Haven't been posting in Xanga lately.
But, basically, I've been working. 7am-3pm, in a very very very hot warehouse, derusting cans with steel wool and scotch brite, for 8 hours a day, and for some reason they don't allow headphones or a radio at work, and they don't allow pop or anything but water or gatorade, and there's nowhere to sit down, no air conditioning, no windows, and only 2 doors that are very, very far away, so the fans end up only pushing around very, very hot air. oh, and there's no actual "lunch break," just two 15 minute breaks, one at 9:15, and one at noon. So for $8/hr, which would be much higher, but the temp agency takes a lot of my check...well...yeah, at least I'm makin money.
Except, to keep myself entertained (because derusting cans is about as exciting as counting seconds or watching a pot of water boil), I would casually flip the cans around, little things like that---but, since the supervisor threatened to fire me if I do that again, the small, miniscule way in which I kept myself entertained and not medically braindead has been taken away. In a day, we derust about 14,000 cans. We could do more, but we don't, because our 55-year-old, toothless, gray-haired, thick bearded, squinty eyed, chubby, gold-prospector of a coworker, Bob, won't let us work fast, because "I get paid by the hour, so fuck it, no need to get any more done than we have to," which, even though it's easy---makes the time go by s.o.o.o.o.o. s.s.s.s.l.l.l.l.o.o.o.o.w.w.w.w.l.l.l.l.y.y.y.y.
Well, time to go to work---

(though i have never had a friday feel like the last one did---like the last chariot into heaven, until monday comes, and i realize that, sadly, this is limbo) |
