2nd Holiday List

Here is some stuff that I would like to see that is either out or is coming soon. If you want to avoid the Twilight garbage, here is a list of stuff that looks good. The Blind Side is playing in theaters as we speak.

Sandra Bullock isn't my personal hero. She has been in some good movies lately.



This looks really cute. I think mom is going to want to watch this one.



This one, I think we could be able to live without. I like Jude Law and I don't like Robert Downey Jr. This might be better than it seems.



This one looks like something you would find at The Flicks. Looks pretty good.



This one is getting all the rave. Someone is saying Oscar.

Escaping in My Head

I am chilling today. My dad, he needs backbone. He went to pick up the beast. I was about ready last night to kick Zack out on his fanny. Paul needs to be lectured as well. He told me not to say anything to Zack last night, I really should have said something. Who's house is this anyway?
I was working away on the computer. I was trying my hardest to make my paper work. I decided to finally remove the first sentence that was causing me such anguish. Jeremiah comes knocking on the door.
The dog was locked in the room and causing noise. I gave him the go ahead to let her out. I thought it was just her and I thought it was unusual to be making noise. Then I saw who was being loud. There was another dog that belonged to Zack's friend. I really didn't appreciate them leaving the dogs in the room. I also didn't like the fact that his friend can't leave his dog at home.
When he got home, I was told not to say anything. I am really close to telling this guy off. It was not too long ago that Paul told me that Zack lifted a voice recorder . Really? Another thief stealing in my house? I told him to call the cops. He is waiting until Zack is in jail.
Then, to my astonishment, Paul told me last night that Zack's friends were not of legal age to drink. That is the limit. This is really pissing me off because I cannot afford to lose a room mate right now. It's hard to say if he will pay rent next month. If he goes to jail at the beginning of next month his shit is being thrown out the door and I don't have a clue where his dog went. Paul debated on what to do about the situation.
I don't have time to babysit everyone and their dog. I am busy. I am still looking at different work opportunities. I am going to school. I spent the whole day working on a paper. I am feeling anxiety because of Zack again.
I woke up this morning and typed up some rules. I have typed up rules before. Zack wrote on the rules. He seems to have this obsession with Jeremiah. He blames everything on him. He has to blame something he does on someone else. What the hell is his problem? Is he really an adult or a teenager?
Anything else bad goes on that I don't approve of, people are being kicked out. No ands, ifs, or buts. I about pounded on Zack's door to wake him up while he was hung over. I wanted to rip his head off. I better not see his friends here to drink again. I am going to be aggressive about putting my foot down. I will say something here very soon and nobody will be able to stop me. I will call the proper people next time as well.
I have been looking through Craigslist for stuff. I have my eyes open for a step ladder. Anything I can use. I found some 35mm film. I grabbed that. I also saw an ad for a free Thanksgiving dinner. Who in the right mind would post that on a list full of creeps? Their intentions are nice. I was thinking that they might not be good Samaritans either.

A Little Help

I am excited [The passive voice is a form of "be" (am) and a participle (excited). Over-use of the passive voice can make paragraphs tedious to read and officious. Try to use the active voice most often, e.g., the student completed the paper on time. The passive voice version: The paper was completed on time by the student. Note how often the passive voice appears in your paper.] to go back [ Eliminate colloquial language in academic writing. Colloquial language is informal phrasing that is used when speaking, but it is not acceptable in academic writing. Use return instead of go back. ] to class again. I called my friend Julie as soon as I enrolled. I told her how excited I was to be going to college through the internet.


This is driving me crazy, I have sent my paper through the proof reading thing four times and I have corrected this three. I need to figure out how to keep this from sounding passive. I even took the work shop on the difference between passive and active sentences.

There is a God!

Where we last left off with drama in Wilder, the step child was telling my father she only has so long to live and was going to lose feeling in her hands and feet. Dad called her bluff.
We could all see this was just a ploy for her to get back into dad's house and have him taxi her around. Same as before, again and again. He's retired you fool! How do you think the children would feel if their grandparents welcomed someone that ruined their lives back into their home? If it were me, I would be pissed off and refuse to talk to the grandparents. Children are human beings. It's not like you can break them and take them back to the store. It doesn't work that way. I've said it before, it just boggles my mind.
To boot, both of the step kids in jail are brainstorming ways to get back into the parents house. It's not going to happen! If Vikki is gullible enough to fall for their stint, she is in for the very thing that she was trying to get out of. The only way to make things change is to stop listening to them. With people like that, you don't continue to help them. They are clearly showing signs of not changing. Great big pink neon sign. WE ARE NOT GOING TO CHANGE. Don't you see it blinking in the distance?
So, dad talked to the doctor. The doctor needed her consent. She signed the paperwork consenting. I don't know if it was out of sheer stupidity. I don't know if it is because she thinks she is living her lie. Nah, she's naive.
As it turned out, Athena is not loosing the feeling in her limbs. She is not going to die before 45. Unless it is by dumb luck anyway. Of course, the parents are mad at her for telling her information sensitive mother. Athena is mad at dad for calling her bluff. My dad is slow, okay? He is not as dumb as people think. There is a very smart guy under all that aged speed.
Athena's next move was to tell him that she will be on the streets if there is no place to go. Think again, there is no way they will let her be on the street. She will not be let out until she is in a home. The last thing we need is another baby on the way.

Will I Still Be Lucky?

For me, it has been easy to find another job. I had an interview set up before I was not longer with Direct. I think my interview was about a week after. Then in about a week or so, I have another coming up here.
I went to orientation today. I will be working for Volt. I will be working on a temp basis with EDS for about 6 months. If all goes well, I will be converting to work for EDS. I totally believe I can do it. I'll be placing orders, cancelling orders, reselling the value of the product, telling someone how to use the product. How hard can it be? I'm sure the product sells itself. I am a little curious about it.
I went and took a drug test. They are going to be doing a background check. All that fun stuff. I did all this a couple months ago, I am sure nothing has changed since that time frame.
So, I have taken four days of class. I am kind of getting the hang of college. It has been frustrating. Everything is organized. Everything is in a few different areas which makes the whole thing really confusing. I had printed out agendas and calendars hoping to have everything down. Now, if I can get the rules down. I have to post an assignment and respond to fellow pupils. Now I have to figure out who I can harass about University of Phoenix. I have a paper due this week on explaining going to an online college. Something like that. For now, I will take a break.
I have someone who is begging for cheese burgers. I keep asking if he is buying but of course, he is not. I'll be damned if I have to spend anymore money today. I already took him to an interview and I took him to Rocky's Diner for lunch.

Speak of The Devil

Vacation moving along slowly but surely. It would be nice to have something in the meantime while I get real employment. I have been looking. I think last week I submitted over 10 resumes, personality tests, and applications.
I was exhausted from all the work today. I had been taking my online classes to relax. The classes are kind of cool. Nothing I had never done before in school. I'm not incredibly impressed with the generic answers I have read in there. One teacher is personable while the other is not. I am taking two classes. Read, analyze, and write.
Today, I emailed two resumes from postings in Craigslist. Believe it or not. I went to Boise. I turned in my papers to the union. Paul liked them. I like the union, they are cool people. I want to be a steward.
I went to Gem Staffing and turned in my resume. I went to The Youth Ranch and filled out an application for a store clerk. Both of these were on Craigslist as well. There is a ton of stuff open today. My friend Shannon texted me for help to find her friend a job. I referred them to Qwest. I don't care what anyone says, they freaking rock! I miss my work family. She asked me to be a reference. I said of course! Besides, Shannon is probably going to get a few calls because of me. I'll scratch your back if you scratch mine. Shannon is the shit.
I get home, take my class. Play some games. Blog. I am sure I'm boring everyone to death. I am on the computer all day and I have the Internet. I check my email hoping to hear some positive news. There it is, Volt responded. They are a staffing agency.
I never have high hopes for staffing agencies mind you. Typically, the results are bad and they end up sticking you in the temp positions. The last one was really rude to me to. What the hey? Volt sent me two emails, one was with a link for an application and the other had a link for the tests.I worked on both which took me about an hour.
Around 8:45ish pm, I have an email again asking if she can call. Thinking...no minutes left on phone..not doing anything. I give her the go ahead. I get a phone call about 10 minutes later.
The job is relation to a call center for HP. It is an inbound call for Proactive Solutions. That should be stinking easy. I asked her a few questions and she will doing some research for me. She also told me that they have a link to WDSGlobal. Which thrilled me a bit because they are still hiring for technical support. I like technical support.
So, I have a pending job on the way. As far as I know, if this all works out, I will be starting December 3. Yay!

Down With Right To Work!!
