My Ramblings & Rants

Thursday, April 8, 2004

Well I haven't posted in quite awhile. This is due to a couple of reasons:
1.) I hate sounding bitchy/whiny
2.) I dont think anyone is reading this damm thing ( I tell people to leave comments and they dont )
3.) My life still currently sucks who cares about that?

I am out of Delaware now. I have gone to stay with some friends over in Pennsylvania. Good people who just are having a hard time getting it together. I help as much as I am able. Iam no longer at the tobacco store. Those rat bastards after stealing from me, refusing to address my worries over certain things, forcing me to take a cash loss by selling lottery tickets over comissionable items and not adjusting my schedule as I requested FIRED MY ASS! Now this really is not a bad thing. I took a couple of days to sleep and bleed off the stresses i had been under and went into overdrive. I started looking into creating my own business doing technical support and webdesign. Have a few nibbles and we'll see what happens. Biggest problem is people want to do net 30 on payment. I want the money at the end of assignment. I dont believe in letting my money accrue interest for them after the job is done. I have opened a webstore to sell some of the designs for the Alehouse encampment and just to have some fun. Go over to the store and buy something. It helps substantiate that I exist and that you people are actually reading this damm thing.

Now as of this April 2004 I have started a new job. Here I am a certified network engineer with over 15 years experience in just about everything from building computers to building WANs that span continents. You know what my new job is? I'm a janitor for a small software company. Here I can build a network from scratch, implement it and roll it out with a minimum of fuss and what am I doing? Scrubbing toilets. Hell it beats selling lottery tickets at least :-). Who knows? Something may even come of it.

I miss New York. I miss the people I knew there miserably. I don't hear from them but I still miss them a great deal. I miss getting together with Carl and Keith and anyone else over at the Boon Dog Cafe to have cappucino and conversation over everything from uses of greek fire to modern uses of tailored DNA. I miss the smell of the mountains in the fall. I miss the diners. Where else but in a NY diner can you get good food while getting flipped off by the waitress as she is flirting with you? There are no diners down here as far as I can tell. Nor any coffee houses. People down here dont talk to one another. It seems as though its all "what can I get out of you and leave you bleeding" types. They wont even look you in the eyes when talking to you. It's sad No camaraderie, no caring nothing.

I want to go back to NY. NY is home to me. This region just seems to be sucking my soul away and I can't do a damm thing about it. I'm tired of the way I'm living, tired of scrabbling for coffee money, being alone all the time, feeling lost ALL OF IT! I just want to go home.

If anyone has read this long forthcoming diatribe and is intending to cast a vote on it please remember TO LEAVE COMMENTS ! This way I can understand why you voted the way you did. Thank you. Also if you want go over to the alehouse webstore and buy something. every bit counts to my crawling my way back up to becoming a productive human intelligence again.

Good day all,
I do apologize for not writing sooner but life is getting hectic here. Trying to look for a better job in a depressed market, resolve my own troubles and just get by day to day. I will be posting more in a bit. Complete with pics from the Nor'easter that ran through here!

It is now 15 days after the holidays. Lofe is slowing down at the mall (except or the illiterate, unhygenic, bassackwards lottery people). Lots of things to order to restock our shelves and bring us up to form. The mall itself is like a morgue. Almost no one shopping.
What did I do for the holidays? Pretty much spent them by myself. I don't really now anyone in this state, and almost everyone was away. Settled in with a book and some hot chocolate and caught up on reading and sleep.
Just spent $400.00 on the car with at least $400.00 to go. New CV Joints, motor mounts and still need an alignment, tires, brakes, shocks and struts. Gonna be poor for awhile longer looks like! This on top of trying to do brewing, sewing, get a new tent and in general rebuild my life. Beginning to wonder if it is even possible!

Well was supposed to be my day off. Turned out I had to come in and work for a couple of hours as the bosses were expecting heavy traffic from last years data. Wasn't the case. Barely any traffic in the mall and those that did come in were mostly lotteroids and tire-kickers. Barely sold anything at all. Looks like it is going to be a VERY lean Christmas this year. This sucks as I still have near $500.00 dollars of repair work to do on the car (SIGH). Probably won't get to see my sisters this year either. I miss them a lot. We may not get along a lot but I love them both dearly just don't know how to have them understand me. As long as that exists there will be distance between us which SUCKS!


A note about lotteroids (players of the Delaware lottery and powerball). YOUR FLAMING ASSHOLES!!!!!!!!!!!! I work on commission on everything in the store except the cigars and the DUMBASS lottery!! Do not expect me to drop everything else to feed your gambling addiction! It IS NOT going to happen. You people COST me money! I mean watching you count out pennies for a PIPEDREAM would be hilarious if it wasn't so pathetic! Make a call to gambler's anonymous you need it. Plus that money you throw away could be used for charitable research, towards friends and family or in general good use. Instead you throw it away.


On a different note I saw Deavon today. He is looking better than he has recently. His friend is up to visit and it has brought him out of his funk. He is still worrying about being single but hey most of us can relate to that in one way or another. I mean I have been single so long I believe that there is no one out there for me (SHRUG). Who knows what tomorrow brings eh? :-) . I also got to see Tehra. She was in cause her ex wanted to have a talk with her. Seems the season is starting the single blues among all of them. Should be interesting the next couple of months. My confessional is open!

Survived Black Friday (which was slower than hell) and the recent storm to hit us here in the Northeast (people in this state cannot drive for shit in bad weather). I got to spend 8 hours keeping a store open for 0 customers. Best part is the mall management said we had to remain open till 10pm. YEAH RIGHT ! I closed shop at 5:30 as no one could come in to relieve me and I didn't want to drive on iced over roads (driving on snow is fine but not on ice with the imbeciles in this state thinking they are wannabe NASCAR racers in their hyundai's).Hopefully today will be better. Need to make some cash to finish needed repairs to the van and maybe buy some clothes. Tired of dressing like a homeless schlub.
