OK, Now where was I?
It's been so damn long since I updated this page that I find myself realizing it will take about three weeks to explain what has gone on in the last couple months. Well, I'll make the long stories short.
Pretty much all of June I was unable to get online for any long periods of time. Julie was working 13 hours a day plus some weekends as her company was going through their "busy season". So I was faced with the decision to spend what little time she wasn't working either online checking emails and updating my webpage or spending time together before she heads back to work. It was an easy decision to make actually..... heads I spend time with her, tails I go online. :)
At my place of work I had a little bit of bad news come my way. The shop manager, Rich, put in his two week notice and quit. This really sucked because him and I got along really well and he was my buffer from the "Sea of Stupid" the represents all my co-workers. I've never worked with such a sorry bunch of losers in my life and trust me, if I start updating this page more often you'll hear lots about them. I work with four other people directly and about 6 others indirectly. There is a guy named Chris who is one of the fab four that I work with on a daily basis. This is your typical inbred dumb-as-dogshit white piece of trash. He was the designated smartass before I showed up and now he spends most of his days pissed off at me because every time he tries to take verbal shots I throw everything he has right back in his face. The second guy I work with is a puerto rican named Juanito... or just Juan. This guy actually has a pretty good head on his shoulders and has a lot of potential. He is funny as hell and works hard...... when he's motivated. His main problem is the weed he smokes each day at lunch with Chris out in the parking lot, then they both scrounge for spare change and raid the vending machine of all it's Doritos. I often find Juan and I pulling pranks and stirring the pot around the shop like my good friend Monty and I did when I lived back in Canada. I could tell you a crap load of stories about Monty and I.... but that would take a whole other page. :) The third guy I work with Glen. He totally reminds me of "Reverend Jim" on the 1980's sitcom "Taxi". A tall lanky guy with a big head of hair with signs of gray. Glen shows up at the shop every morning smelling like he just went five rounds with a bottle of Wild Turkey. As soon as he arrives he starts bitching because he HATES working in the shop and would rather be out in the field doing the installations. The fourth person on the crew is a 37 year old lady named Janea. Oh man, where do I begin with her? Janea for the most part is pretty useless. She was hired as the company's delivery driver but the only thing she consistently delivers every day is headaches. She is a complete drama queen and tells everybody her whole life story any chance she gets. Earlier this year she got evicted from her apartment because she "withheld" her rent for three months without any just cause. In a fit of desperation she moved in with a friend of hers who she doesn't like that much because she had nowhere else to go.... well, except the tanning salon. Yeah, she has no rent money, refuses to work overtime, never puts in a 40 hour week but hey..... you gotta have a good looking tan in March right? Most recently she lost her drivers license due to a DUI. Also, her roommate just went to Puerto Rico for a vacation and got back just in time to get her ass evicted as well. So now Janea has to move again which she says she really doesn't want to do, but has no choice because she has no money to help her friend out. Oh and by the way, Janea just showed us the tattoo she just got on her lower back... it was a joint graduation present for her son. The cream of the crop I tell ya. *sigh*
On the homefront I finally got word from the INS that I have been officially cleared by the FBI and that my Green Card is on it's way. After about a year and half the process is almost over! Now I can travel outside of the US and return with no problems.
Anyway, I hope to write more often so please check back and thanks for the emails of "What the hell happened to your blog???"
Until next time......
