Well, my friend is doing this (see Joel's website in links at bottom) and it actually is pretty fun to read so I figure what the hell why not, his has no character returns and is font size one, I am not a sadist so I won't do that to anyone bored enough to read this.

Today pretty much sucked, my manager doesn't seem to understand that I want to work 20 hours a week not 35 hours a week, supposedly I was to get Saturdays off but that lasted all of one Saturday. I swear the holiday season sucks, there are way to many people shopping in our store. Most of them have no clue what they are talking about because people that tell someone what they want for their computer never tell them exactly what they want. This results in hours of, hmm, I'm really not sure and, so what exactly is the difference between these? ... sigh, idiots.

Well, I dropped Hans off after work, and he decides it would be a good idea to play a game of chess. One game turns into best of 3 (I won in 2) but then his parents kick me out around 2 o'clock. I get home and on the way upstairs there is note on the railing explaining how much trouble I'm in. That's when I know I'm in deep shit, when I come home so late that my parents say screw waiting up for him just write a note so he can not get any sleep and we can yell at him in the morning. This is gonna suck.

I have gotten nothing done on anything for school or anything else for that matter all weekend, this is largely due to the fact that i've worked 30 hours in the past 3 days. This yelling at is not going to help any. I have two tests and a paper due on Monday, and, oh yea, 8 more hours of work tomorr. Well, I think I've pretty much hit the bottom of the crapper for a while.

The yelling at went a lot better than I thought it was going to, I basically got off with a warning to never let it happen again.

I'm done with my English paper and as usually it probably sucks, cry me a river. So I'm really just glad this whole weekend is over. Although I had some fun like playing unreal tournament with Hans for 5 hours, I had too much work and school projects that ended up netting my weekend somewhere between suck and blow.

So I'm going to apply at Best Buy, I think they need techs to work at their shop and you don't even have to be A+ certified. I would much rather just install upgrades rather than have to sell them along with replacment plans at CompUSA. I'm going to ask for 15/hr but if I can get at least 10 I'm quitting CompUSA. That way I don't have to deal with the customers and I will be getting paid almost twice as much. And oh, yeah, I never have to answer to Mike G, my manager at Comp again. I think there are about three of us at CompUSA that are going to do something similar all around the same time. This would basically screw over CompUSA because Hans and I are two of five people who know how to use the tech desk computer. And guess which time of year is the most popular for upgrades.

Well, time for me to get my daily 5 hours of sleep so I can get early and type in information for my statistics class.

Yep, I'm gonna quit CompUSA, this is the last straw. I have been scheduled to work outside of my availability sheet. So not only is all my 'free' time taken up, but some of my not free time also. That little ass clown scheduled me during school. What a retard. Even if I was getting paid more I wouldn't be able to put up with that kind of stupidity. This last weekend I wasn't able to go out with my friends at all 'cause he scheduled me the whole damn weekend.

Tommorow I'm going to buy South Park on DVD. Not because I'm not sick and tired of that movie, but because I just want to see the Unkle Fucka song with sub titles, and I want to learn how to say other insults in other languages. I suppose I could rent it but this has to be immortalized.

If I get one more prank call from other employees about memory I'm going to tear the phone out of the wall. They don't seem to understand that you sound different when you are calling from inside the store than when you are calling from an outside line.

It's official, CompUSA is trying to become Best Buy; today we started carrying cell phones. Before you know it, the refridgerators will be rolling in, If that company doesn't go out of business first.

My english teacher (not Mr. Pawlak) was talking about the feelings of Hamlet when he was so deppressed about his father's death that everything else in the world made him feel worse, I know exactly how he feels. I have been so strung out and tired for the past two months that everything anyone does anymore seems like they're doing it to give me the proverbial middle finger. I laugh and look like I'm having fun but ever time I feel more and more like I just want to start killing people. This is not a cry for help, It is just a phase, I'm not going to commit suicide or anything like that but right now I could name a few people a would kill... but I won't because that would give them a chance to prepare.

Today has been a relatively better day. Unfortunately, Best Buy already hired a bunch of people prior to the Christmas season so I'm kinda sol in that respect. Looks like I'm gonna have to 'upgrade' my current job with less hours and more money, we'll see how I make out.

I had to teach my parents how to retrieve e-mail for the umpteenth time again. oh, well, I've made it as easy as possible with all the shortcuts in the startmenu toolbar thing.

I've officially hit the break even level on my Fremd H.S. Gold card. It is a card that cost $10 and gets you discounts all over. So far I have saved ten dollers with it and I still have til next september before it expires, kick ass.

Hans just made a fake school ID to prove a point. It has the name and photograph of Pikachu. He is going to see if he can get out the door without them noticing that he isn't actually a cartoon charcter. He was actually pissed at me because I have a bad-assed scanner that we used to scan his ID in, the problem lying in that his ID spent the next 5 days in my scanner because I kept forgetting to take it out.

Strangely, I don't feel like killing anyone anymore. maybe it's just cause today I have off from work after working four days in a row. That means I caught on my sleep and my schoolwork (well haven't done any homework yet, but the night is young you never know) I feel like I am where I am supposed to be.

I think I have a student council meeting tomorrrow, but you know what, student council can kiss my ass. The only thing you do when you are on student council is try not to be kicked off. Seriously, my friends, *cough*joel*cough*, call student council the 'vanity maintainance comitee' and I very much agree with them now, I spent three years of High School actually caring about that stupid club, yelch, I feel like an idiot. This is the kind of realization that only a senior can have. Actually, I realized it at the end of last year but the only reason I stayed on over the summer was to be host at AAG this year which is a school event where all the classes compete in a bunch of events. It was fun but now that my applications for college are off I think i might let student council just go to hell if they feel so inclined.

Two new products at CompUSA, midi keyboards (okay I'll let that one go) and Guitars (wtf).

Oh, right, I got the south park movie on DVD, and let me tell you, I feel sorry for the poor typists that had to sit there and type out 'shit-eating donkey-fucker'
